Breached Things (BTs) in this game are deadlier than before. Kojima has decided to increase and expand the scope of the stealth and combat for the sequel, making BTs more frequent and challenging than before.

When you defeat these BTs using various tools and a bit of ingenuity, they will drop lots of Chiral Crystals upon death. Moreover, many BTs will have tails behind them, which you can cut off to get crystals without necessarily killing them.
