Thanks for your input @Valyssa0, you're right, Ghosts shouldnt leave mags behind :) I've actually found Ghost runs without mags. I've found a bunch of those "Ghost" runs and gathered them here : https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVZQLt7FnM-XJ1oas5Ll_WnthjDJptVQW I think that fastest (real) Ghost run is this one : It's truely impressive and a real challenge, time is 6:32. (Currently, New Game No Reflex using Checkpoints is at 4:59 by OneCoolMan https://www.speedrun.com/mgsvgz/run/yj4422gy)

Maybe there could be a "No Trace" category similar to the one from TPP (definition here https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps4/718564-metal-gear-solid-v-the-phantom-pain/faqs/72900), the two first videos I shared could be in those categories for example, and a "Ghost" category, which would be nothing not even mags like a real ghost this time :P (no hold ups, no mags, only sightings, similar to Covert's video ). What do you think?

Thanks again for time, SFacts

Hey all !

I've been trying to run (I wont say speedrun yet) Ground Zeroes in Ghost mode (meaning hard, no reflex, no holdup, no nothing except the trustee magazines for diversion and sightings). Just like a Ghost, you can only barely be seen or make noise using magazines. I could not find this category at all. It makes the game longer (a speedrun would not be as fast as a run with reflex, holdup, ...) but it only uses the stealth mechanisms available in the game and makes it a very thrilling experience for MGSV (get in, get out, no one will ever know someone was there).

Here are a few examples: I am currently running against this video () which is the best time I could find. I was wondering if it could be possible to add a category for such runs (would be great for Missions for TPP too, although I am not there yet ). I found this category for TPP (https://www.speedrun.com/mgsv#NG%2B_All_Missions_Perfect_Stealth_No_Kills) but it is different from a ghost run.

Thanks, SFacts
