Recruiting key figures to your Mother Base has always been a satisfying aspect of METAL GEAR SOLID: Peace Walker – Master Collection Version. The Special Staff Recruiter achievement celebrates mastering this aspect by gathering four unique staff members, each with their own distinct role and story significance.
These four special recruits hold the following titles:
- Game Designer
- Actress
- New Voice Actor
- Veteran Voice Actor
Be prepared to reach the later stages of the story since two of these staff members are only available during endgame missions. This means progressing through significant AI weapon-related quests before you can complete your roster.
Warning: Endgame mission spoilers ahead. If you haven’t finished the AI weapon story missions, it’s best to progress a bit more before seeking these staff members to avoid spoiling key narrative moments.
To identify if a staff member belongs to this special group, use the Staff tab at your Mother Base. Their detailed profile will show their unique titles beneath their codename, making it easy to spot these vital recruits.
Simply open the character’s details and examine the description area below their codename. The unique titles highlight their special status.
This method ensures you don’t miss anyone, especially since some appearances can feel subtle until confirmed in their profiles.
