You can defeat Volgin With a Water Pistol and Knock off Mantis With A Supply Drop

Volgin is a pretty damn difficult boss when you first face him in The Phantom Pain. While the game has generally been noted for having poorer boss battles than the rest of the series, Volgin is probably definitely one of the game’s highlights. You’re probably going to get your ass kicked and struggle with him the first tie you come across him, but there’s actually a super neat secret that makes the entire boss fight a bit of a joke- once you unlock the Water Pistol, go face Volgin with that equipped. Shoot him a couple of times, and Volgin becomes stunned, trivializing the entire boss fight. That’s not all, either- when he is stunned, Mantis shows up. You can just call a supply drop, which will always fall on Mantis and just knock him out cold.

That’s one way to do things.
