"Metal Gear Online" beta for PC has been recently suspended by Konami, as per recent gaming reports.

Konami temporarily halted the beta for "Metal Gear Online" on PC, due to the presence of an MB exploit, according to Cinema Blend. As per the publication, the said exploit had let gamers to get free cash shop coins to buy items from the cash shop during the beta. The arcade game company reportedly issued a hotfix to solve the exploit in the beta.

In a suspension statement in "Metal Gear Online's" Steam Community, Konami said that due to a possible exploit, the company had removed access to the Beta temporarily while a hotfix is being prepared. It has been added that once the issue was addressed, access to the Beta would be provided once again.
