Metal Gear Survive Staging Area – Everything to Know

The last few areas of the Metal Gear Survive Staging Area allow you to do target practice, manage your inventory, upgrade your soldier, and customize your loadout. Below I will go over each of these areas. Let’s go!

Training Area

Activating the Training Area causes a number of Training Targets to appear. You can use weapons you have equipped on these Training Targets to test out different attachments, upgrades and so on. While inside the Staging Area you have unlimited ammo, so go crazy (you can also shoot squad members).

The Skill Trainer area allows you to improve classes and learn skills. It is here you can spend Kuban Energy to increase your overall level and learn new skills.
