Once you’ve got patch 9 the only thing left to do is finish the mission. After a few rolls you’ll trigger a cutscene where the final patch flies off Snake and you can collect it from the ground. To shake it off you need to lie down on the ground and roll about a bit (move and click left stick). Once you’re through the orange door you can climb onto the box in front of you and jump to the roof on your left from there. The 8th patch can be found on your way to rescuing Paz. Patch number 7 can be found in a drain on the other side of the helipad. The 6th patch can be found in a puddle next to the helipad in the middle of the base. Whilst you’re here you might as well rescue him to save time later on. Probably the easiest patch to find, this one is right by the front door to the prison camp Chico is being held in.

On the way down to the beach there’s a small hut, the fourth patch can be found on its roof. You’ll need to pick the lock to get through the fence and then the patch is found on the generator on the left.

The third patch is on the top of a large power generator. Once you’re inside the camp you can find the second patch in a pile of garbage near the entrance. The first patch is on the side of the cliff, directly behind where you start the mission. In the maps below the patches can be found at Snake’s location (the white triangle). Once completed you’ll unlock a trophy/achievement and the Extra Ops, which is a different mission for Xbox and PlayStation players.

Once you’ve got them all you’ll also need to finish the level, but if you follow the order in the guide below this shouldn’t take too much extra time. It’s fairly easy to keep track of how many you’ve found as the game notifies you of your progress each time you pick up.

The patches can be collected across several playthroughs as long as you’re playing the Ground Zeroes mission and you’re using the same save. Are you after the bonus mission in Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes? To unlock the Extra Ops you’ll need to find 9 XOF patches hidden throughout the first Ground Zeroes level.
