Today you can purchase the SCENE Expansion by itself for $9.99, as a bundle with the MEME Expansion for $14.99, or get all three Expansions, GENE, MEME, and SCENE for $17.99. All three options are available now via Metal Gear Online’s in-game shop and Konami’s shop.
The SCENE Expansion includes the ability to acquire three new Skills:
- Close Quarters Combat – Execute a CQC maneuver 200 times with CQC Mastery Lv3 equipped. Once you have this skill, your character will automatically counter an opponent’s CQC attack.
- Toughness – Receiving a knockback, knockdown, or blow away type attack 100 times. Once you have this Skill, your character will be able to endure knockdown attacks and recover time will be decreased.
- Charm – Getting distracted by a magazine 100 times. It’s similar to Mei-Ling’s special skill, where holding the salute pose will have the same distracting effect as a magazine. The salute motion will also change to one of three different exclusive random animations.
