Konami has will finally be releasing Metal Gear Online today and players will also be able to protect their Forward Operating Bases. Now given, players are already able to protect their FOB’s, but Konami now allow’s micro-transactions to protect said bases. With the transactions players can insure their soldiers, resources and weapons. If a infiltrator successfully invades you, but you insured whatever was taken, the opposition will still receive whatever they have, BUT you’ll still own it yourself as well.
Below is a statement from Konami on how the insurance will work.
Your FOBs are always at risk of coming under attack. Now, you can rest easy with FOB insurance (paid service). If you sign up for insurance, then during the insurance period you will be compensated for any materials and staff lost due to rival infiltrations.
* Staff/materials stolen by the rival will in fact remain on your base, and an identical amount of staff/materials will be handed over to the rival instead.
* MB Coins are purchased with real money, but free MB Coins are also distributed periodically as login bonuses, etc.
* The following are not covered by FOB insurance:
?Staff/items that are not fully your property, such as abducted staff being held in your Brig (FOB)
?Wounded staff (staff lost due to death or extraction will be compensated)
?Staff used by you to deploy in defense of the FOB (neither death nor extraction will be compensated)
?Nuclear weapons
