Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain – where to find all music cassette tapes

One of the coolest features in Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain is the hidden music cassettes dotted around the map. There’s a lot of them, but once you find them you can set them as the default soundtrack for your support chopper.

Firstly, there are a bunch of tracks already set as default to the helicopter. There are:

Scouting Barren Lands
Journey to Point C-5
Sands
Dreamt of an Eclipse
Afghanistan’s a Big Place
MGO Trailer Music
Ride of the Valkyries

The rest of the music cassettes are found throughout the map, or are awarded for completing certain missions. Here’s where the find them all.
