Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes secrets guide

Casette tapes

If you want to get the complete story of Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, you'll need to locate all twelve of the Cassette Tapes that are distributed throughout the game.

Some of the tapes can be discovered around Camp Omega during the various operations, whereas others are unlocked after meeting certain criteria before clearing a mission, and each one provides additional intel to help fill in the story of Ground Zeroes.
