How to deploy Battle Gear

metal-gear-solid-5-the-phantom-pain

Like in Peace Walker, you eventually have your own mech and it is suggested that you deploy it for combat. What isn't clear is how.
Even after finishing the main story there doesn't seem to be an option to add Battle Gear to any of your combat deployment teams.

What do you have to do to deploy Battle Gear?

Best Answer

Battle gear is only used for combat deployment missions and is automatically sent out if the mission requires it. The missions that it will be deployed on are the higher level ones - i.e. S rank missions.

This works in the same way other vehicles are deployed on the combat deployment where it specifies a particular vehicle as a requirement.
