15 Best Sandbox Missions of All Time

Hellbound – Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain

One of the more intense missions in The Phantom Pain, Hellbound seems deceptively simple at first – make contact with and then extract Dr. Emmerich. Stealth is encouraged, making companions like D-Dog useful for simply avoiding enemy soldiers (though playing at night is also an option). However, it’s possible to travel off the beaten path and complete other objectives like gathering resources. Upon rescuing Emmerich, it’s up to you how he’s extracted…along with how to deal with Metal Gear Sahelanthropus when it unceremoniously drops in.
