MGSV: D-Horse

Hey fellow MGSV fans! Let's talk about one of the most underrated and loyal companions in the game: D-Horse! When I first started playing Metal Gear Solid V, I honestly didn't think much of Big Boss having a horse, but D-Horse quickly became an indispensable part of my missions. From speedy infiltrations to quick getaways, this steed has saved my hide more times than I can count. One of the most common questions I hear from new players is, 'How do you even call D-Horse?' It's super simple once you know how, but the game doesn't always make it obvious. To call D-Horse, all you need to do is open your iDroid, navigate to the 'Buddy Support' menu, and select D-Horse. You'll see an option there to "Call Buddy." Just activate it, and D-Horse will come galloping to your location, often appearing right nearby if you're in an open area. It's incredibly handy, especially when you're caught off guard and need a quick escape route or just want to traverse the vast landscapes of Afghanistan or Africa without breaking a sweat. I remember a time I was deep in enemy territory, got spotted, and thought I was done for. A quick call to D-Horse, and I was galloping away, leaving the confused guards in my dust! Truly a lifesaver. But D-Horse isn't just for fast travel. This amazing buddy offers so much more utility. Did you know you can use D-Horse for stealth? Yes, you heard that right! You can make D-Horse defecate to create a distraction for enemy vehicles, causing them to slip and crash. It's hilarious and surprisingly effective for ambushes or creating roadblocks. Plus, D-Horse can carry a lot of cargo, which is super useful for extracting resources or captured soldiers. Just walk up to D-Horse while carrying someone or something, and Big Boss will automatically load it. It saves you the hassle of calling in a Fulton extraction every single time, especially early in the game. I also love customizing D-Horse. As you progress, you'll unlock different saddles and armor options that don't just change his appearance but can also enhance his abilities, like increasing his carrying capacity or making him more resilient in combat. It really makes you feel like you're building a bond with your companion. There’s nothing quite like 'chillin' with D-Horse after a tough mission, knowing he’ll always be there for the next challenge. For anyone playing MGSV, don't underestimate D-Horse. He's more than just a ride; he's a vital member of your Diamond Dogs team and truly enhances the gameplay experience. Give him some love, and he'll never let you down!
