They recently added a new update to MGSV which adds all sorts of stuff. EU and Japan got it yesterday but the one and only guy who manages the North American PSN was sleeping or something so we got it late last night. There is a patch AND a mandatory download from the PSN for both MGSV and MGO if you want to access the game.
The FOB side of the update is stacked with the ability to place mines and cameras freely on your FOB's. In order to access this ability you must develop the camera placement gun and the mine placement gun(Is it a gun?) which takes 3 days real time to develop. Or, you can speed it up with roughly 400MB coins each. *Barf*.
What the option looks like in Security Settings.
Also in the new update is a huge list of challenges that gives rewards like tons of GMP, vehicles, weapon placements, and soldiers. Lots and lots of soldiers. The good news is the list of challenges are retroactive, meaning if you've previously completed them, you will be able to reap the rewards immediately.
The list of challenges I have retroactively completed(Originally much bigger but I'm maxed on GMP right now so I'm going to save them).
A list of challenges I've yet to complete.
There is also an event running right now under FOB Mission - Event that allows you to go up against an NPC FOB in order to obtain event points that you will be able to cash in for new things like fatigue camo, new weapon camo, new emblems and new "nameplates", but as of now the nameplates portion of the rewards aren't active so we can't get them. Oh, and more soldiers. You can spend your points to get some S, S+, and S++ ranked soldiers.
New pink camo(It's not a phase ma, I swear).
New leafy camo.
But it's not just Snake that gets the new camo, Mother Base also gets to join in on the fun. There are supposed to be new colors as well as camos but there is only one right now, and it looks terrible like this.
Better late than never, another new feature is the ability to support friends from your actual friends list, and not from just random people on the lists in game. This is great, and is only going to add to the longevity of the game, but wow this feature really missed its mark. I mean none of my friends even play this anymore.
One of the most interesting additions is the idea of a "Security Challenge". If you think your FOB is good enough, you can place yourself on the Security Challenge list, which opens you up to endless infiltrations. Unlike normal infiltrations that doesn't alert you until the invader gets caught or causes damage to your base, this will alert you right away and allow you to defend. Even better, there's no risk of retaliation in this mode whatsoever. The downside is, this is still a real infiltration. So they can still take your stuff. But you do get higher rewards for completing them as attacker and defender, making it worth a try.
You also can now play as Raiden and Gray Fox in FOB, which was previously disabled. You are thus able to utilize their lightning fast running speed to your advantage.
Other things are coming later this month, like new high grade weapons and an event centered around fighting the Skulls Unit on an FOB. There are other things like miscellaneous fixes but nothing too major. They have also allowed the purchase of a 4th FOB, but the resources and GMP required to level that up is so insane that I'd wager it'd take a whole month just to complete it.
There was also an update to MGO but I haven't had a lot of time to get into it so I can't say for certain how much it improves. But I do hear they are talking about new maps(Mother Base was shown in one example) and new modes, like Survival. Which, in the last MGO, was a weekly team-based elimination mode where you get big rewards for beating teams and remaining undefeated. It was also extremely challenging and tense. So we'll see how that goes.
EDIT: The images went nuts and completely disappeared/disappear every time I edit them so the formatting might seem a little nuts. I tried to make it look all pretty and stuff but that's just not happening. So, my bad and stuff.
