Go figure
This past weekend on the PC version of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, the āNuclear Disarmamentā event was triggered. For those unaware, this is one of the āhiddenā events in the game that was to be unveiled once users online disarmed all of their nuclear weapons. It was supposed to be a moment where gamers could come together and realize that violence isnāt the answer. Obviously that hasnāt occurred, so why did the event trigger?
Konami, surprising no one, doesnāt know. Taking to Twitter, the company has confirmed that the event triggered prematurely. The global nuke count for the PC version is not at zero, so this event shouldnāt even be happening. They are still looking into what occurred so that they can prevent this kind of thing from happening again.
The nuclear disarmament event was triggered in the Steam version of METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN on Feb 2nd at approximately 12:00 GMT. We are still investigating, but can confirm that the event was triggered while the nuke count hadnāt reached zero. (1/3)

We will share more information as soon as possible, but you can play the game normally and other platforms have not been affected. (2/3)

There could be many reasons for why this has happened, but Iām going to assume someone hacked the Konami servers. It isnāt uncommon to find people on the PC version with loads of FOBs and hacked stats, so Iām guessing someone had enough waiting and just spurred this event into happening.
