"Q3: What other things can we do at Motherbase as far as choices go? (@YanNeppy)"

"A: Train and do some target practice, take showers, and explore as well as talk and fight with fellow Diamond Dogs. There's even more to do throughout your base but we want you to look forward to finding out for yourself 9/1."

"A: No additional purchases need to be made to complete or build anything in the game, however you can use MB coins to speed up development as well as within the FOB system."
