The three new online development items have been revealed earlier today by the Metal Gear Solid V official website. The three items are the D.Mine Marker and Cam Marking DVC., the non-lethal semi automatic sniper rifle AM MRS-73 NL and the UA-Drone (Sleep), a general-purpose UAV for use under the non-lethal security settings. As already mentioned, these new items are online development items, so their development continues even when not playing the game. Mother Base coins can also be used to shorten development time.

On a related note, the Japanese version of the Metal Gear Solid V official website has confirmed that the Cloaked In Silence expansion for Metal Gear Online 3, is going to be made available for the Japanese version of the game on March 15th.
