Bonus combat vests
Successfully complete the game to unlock new combat vests.
Big Boss Extreme mode
Successfully complete the game to unlock the Big Boss Extreme difficulty.
Replay bonus
Successfully complete the game, and save when prompted to create a cleared
saved game file. Start another game session, encounter Mk II in Act
1, and load the cleared saved game file to get your Drebin Points, weapons,
ammunition, items, and special items from your previous game.
Alternate ending
If you fight Mantis with a Sixaxis controller, the ending is different
than if you were using a DualShock 3 controller.
Easy Drebin Points
First, acquire the drum can. You do this by finding the soldier that
is hiding in the can and using it as a bathroom in Act 1: Middle East
- Downtown. After that, go up ahead a few feet, where you will see three
crates. When you have gone past them, you will see just two crates.
You will also see about three rebel soldiers fighting. One is carrying
an RPG and the other two have machine guns. They will die and respawn
continuously. You will have a chance to pick up the RPG after the soldier
has died three times. Do so because each RPG is worth 6,000 Drebin Points.
The important thing is to stay anywhere behind the two crates, otherwise
the trick will not work. Going further than the two crates will stop
the respawning loop of the soldiers dying. The only way to get the RPG
without breaking the respawning loop is to use the Mk II.
When you enter the first hangar in Shadow Moses (with
all the mini-Gekkos inside), kill all of them, and proceed to the next
area past the two large Gekkos outside. Once you get inside, turn around,
and go back to the hangar. All the Gekkos should have respawned. You
will get approximately 20,000 Drebin Points each time you clear the
area, and the entire process takes about five minutes. There is a ration
in the room on the other side of the railing when done on the "Naked
Normal" difficulty. Do not forget to pick up the guns and kill
the big Gekko outside the base on the other side as well as all the
mini-Gekkos. The bandana is not required, but if you do not have it,
you will use a lot of ammunition. The grenade launcher is recommended
for taking out the mini-Gekkos quickly. Be careful with the grenade
launcher as it has a slow reload time. If a Gekko gets too close, you
will not be able to reload.
Cheaper Drebin prices
Set the PS3 system date to a Wednesday or Sunday, and Drebin will have
cheaper prices. Additionally, all of Drebin's prices are cut by 50%
during Act 5.
Easy Bandana and Stealth Suit
To unlock the Bandana and Stealth Suit easier, wait until Act 5 (Drebin's
prices are 50% off) to get the items for 2.5 million Drebin Points each
instead of the 5 million Drebin Points they normally each cost. -From:
Dallas4life04
Extra battery
Save the game during Act 1. Go to the Mission Briefing screen, and select
the saved game from Act 1. Press Square to control the Mk II while on
the plane. Move the Mk II upstairs, and search for an extra battery.
Collecting it will double the operating life of all battery-powered
devices in the game.
Statue locations
The statues required to unlock the Solar Gun can be found at the following
locations:
Frog: In Act 1: Middle East - Advent Palace garage, atop
the Nomad vehicle.
Octopus: In Act 2: South America, in the Research Lab Boss room, upper
right room.
Raven: In Act 3: Europe, on the top floor of the human phase of the
Boss fight.
Wolf: In Act 4: Shadow Moses, behind Snake's starting spot in the human
phase of the Boss fight.
Mantis: In Act 5: Outer Heaven, near the northern-most door during the
human phase of the fight.
Audio flashbacks
Experience the following audio flashbacks to get 1,000 Drebin Points
for some of them:
Find the crop circle near the river while tracking Naomi
in Act 2 after the Laughing Octopus fight (flashback of the Colonel
acting strangely in Metal Gear Solid 2).
Find the Hind (flashback of the end of the Hind confrontation).
The middle of the helipad (flashback of Hind D speech).
The small shack to the West of the area (flashback of
"A surveillance camera?!").
Enter through either of the vents instead of the door
(flashback Master Miller's introduction).
Stand near the tank hangar's door (flashback of Meryl's
"Where I can see you" speech).
Stand in the decontamination room before the hallway to
Otacon's office (flashback of Cyborg Ninja fighting Genome Soldiers).
Inside Otacon's lab (flashback of Grey Fox's introduction).
Stand in the filled-in trench leading up to the Comm Towers
(flashback of Meryl telling Snake to continue without her).
Climb as far as you can up the Comm Tower nearest where
you enter and walk around (flashback of beginning of the Hind confrontation).
In front of the other Comm Tower, facing the exit (flashback
of Otacon's "What are you fighting for?" speech).
Stand near the door leading back to the room where you
fought Vulcan Raven (flashback of Raven's final speech).
In Shadow Moses, near the elevator (flashback of Infiltration
speech).
Return to the crashed Hind chopper after the Crying Wolf
fight (flashback of Liquid Snake being shot down).
Aim the Mk.23 SOCOM while at Shadow Moses (Snake will
say "Just like old times").
Move the camera view directly overhead and move around
(Snake will say "Just like old times").
Control opening commercials
When starting a new game, you are shown two random commercials. You
can change the channel by pressing Up and Down to get new commercials.
There is also a Hideo 1 and Hideo 2 channel, which are like Video 1
and 2.
At the start of the game when the commercials are on,
you can press X to cycle through different channels. You can see a segment
where David Hayter is being interviewed wearing a Solid Eye.
Control intermission sequences
During an intermission sequence, press D-pad Up to zoom the camera in,
then use the Right Analog-stick to pan the camera around. The harder
you press Up, the more zoomed in the camera view. Also, some intermission
sequences have prompts to see it through Snake's eyes by holding L1
(look for the icon at the top left of the screen) or view flashback
images by repeatedly tapping X when a prompt appears (look for the icon
at the top right of the screen). You can also pause an intermission
sequence by pressing Start.
Intermission sequence extras
During the following intermission sequences, press L1 to see secret
events:
Laughing Octopus: Laughing Octopus quickly leaps away
outside the window during one of the L1 sequences when you first meet
Naomi.
Naomi's chest: In Act 2, after Snake loses his Psyche
when Namoi tells him how long he has, press L1 to look at her chest
and recharge Snake's Psyche.
Naomi upskirt: In Act 2, when Snake's talking to Naomi
and drops his cigarette, use the hidden L1 option to look up her skirt.
Psycho Mantis' ghost: During the first intermission sequence
with Beauty and the Beast, after using the option to look through L1,
look to the left to see the ghost of Psycho Mantis.
Sorrow: During the Psycho Mantis intermission sequence,
keep L1 held. When Psycho Mantis disappears, you will hear Sorrow say
something. Hold L1 (even though you are not prompted), and you will
see Sorrow. Press X to start a flashback.
Listening to radio during briefings
During the mission briefings, touch the the radio on the table upstairs
with the Mk II, and it will play music.
By switching the radio on and off in Act 4, you will get
different songs, including a remixed version of the "Love Theme"
from Super Smash Bros. Brawl and the ending theme from Policenauts.
Reset OctoCamo appearance
Shake the Sixaxis controller to return Snake's OctoCamo to its neutral
(black and blue) appearance. Note: This can also be done during intermission
sequences.
View motion capture actor
When a character is first introduced, press R2 to view that character's
motion capture actor instead of his or her voice actor.
Reducing stress
Sit in a box to reduce stress faster.
Regaining Psyche
If something during an intermission sequences causes Snake's Psyche
gauge to decrease, rapidly tap X to replenish it.
Regaining health and Psyche
To regain health and Psyche, hold X go into the prone position with
no weapon equipped. Snake's health and Psyche gauges will begin to recover.
This is useful when trying for a no rations/recovery items completion.
Switching stances faster
To switch between crawling and crouch-walking (and back) faster, move
forward while pressing X. Use this trick to get prone behind cover quickly
after crouch-walking past an enemy.
Easy hold-ups
Shoot the tranquilizer gun at your target. Get close to the sleeping
target, and go into the crouch position. An icon will appear to wake
the target up. Press [Action] to wake your target. When he or she is
about to wake up, position yourself at either side or the back of the
target. Aim your gun, and Snake should hold-up the target. This is an
easy way to do CQC and knife kills if you want to get the Assassin's
Creed Emblem and costume.
Shoot from inside a dumpster
There are dumpsters throughout the game which you can use to hide. Move
in front of them, and press Triangle when the prompt appears. Once inside,
if you have a handgun, The Operator for example, you can hold L1 to
lift up the lid of the dumpster and aim your gun from inside.
Throw grenades underhanded
While throwing a grenade, lightly hold L1 (default [Aim]) instead of
holding it down completely.
Ignored by PMCs
PMC soldiers will ignore you when wearing Otacon's or one of the Beauty's
face paints if you are not attacking or displaying a weapon. This allows
you to track the Resistance easier.
Faster iPod navigation
Instead of rotating the Right Analog-stick to control the iPod, use
Triangle, Square, Circle, and X.
Secret ghost photographs
Equip the Sorrow Doll, and have the camera from the Nomad. You can use
that camera to find thirty ghosts in Shadow Moses. After taking pictures
of them, they can be viewed in the photo album with a new option. Note:
The doll is only needed to see the ghosts prior to taking the photographs.
In Shadow Moses, when you return to Otacon's office to
shut down security and turn on the power, take a photograph of the area
to the left of the Policenauts poster. When viewed, there will be a
superimposed image of Hideo Kojima's face.
Take a picture of the wolves after the Crying Wolf battle.
Sniper Wolf's face will appear in the corner.
Secret Sunny and Naomi pictures
Do not pick up the camera during the briefing when it first becomes
available. Wait until Act 4 to get the camera, and it will have some
funny pictures of Naomi and Sunny playing around in the kitchen.
Hidden development team autographs
While tracking Naomi, get to where there is a PMC soldier standing next
to a claymore. Move northeast from there to find a metal plate on the
ground with signatures and handprints from the game's developers. Note:
Lay down on it to get the handprint design for your camouflage. Register
it to memory, and you can use it whenever desired.
Hidden crop circle
When you are tracking Naomi's footprints in Act 2 after the Laughing
Octopus fight, you will arrive to a river. Instead of crossing the river,
look to your left. You will see another set of footprints. Follow these,
and they will lead you to a crop circle where you will hear some strange
dialog by the Colonel about an alien abduction.
Vomiting Snake
If you kill a large enough number of enemies in a conflict zone, you
will hear Liquid from Metal Gear Solid say "You enjoy all the killing,
that's why!", and Snake will vomit. Note: You can delay the vomiting
by hugging the wall. The next time you kill someone, however, it will
happen again until you finally vomit.
Glowing eyes
Use the Solid Eye with the Raiden A mask to make Snake's eyes glow.
Posing as statues
In Act 1, go to the place with the two broken statues. Press Triangle
to climb up on the empty statue pedestal in that area. Press Triangle
again, and Snake will assume a statue position, and the OctoCamo will
blend in. Keep pressing Triangle, and Snake will grab the crotch of
the statue next to him and eventually break off that part of the statue.
Altair costume posture
When wearing the Altair costume after unlocking it, there are some changes
Snake will make to his posture. First, he stands with his hands by his
sides and outstretched just like Altair, as opposed to hanging down
in front of him with his fists clenched. This change will only occur
when you do not have a weapon equipped. Second, where Altair had the
ring finger on his left hand missing, Snake bends his up to give a similar
visual effect. He will even keep his finger bent during intermission
sequences in which the costume you are currently wearing appears.
Beauty And The Beast preview
In Act 1, when in the underground hanger/cave, you can use the Mk II
to listen to a wounded PMC soldier's conversation. He will talk about
the Beauty And The Beast group before you actually meet them.
Posing Beauties
When fighting any of the Beauties, successfully complete the first Boss
phase (Beast form). After that they will come out of their protective
suit and try to grapple you. If you run around long enough and prolong
the time (usually about five to ten minutes), the screen will fade,
and you will enter a white area all alone with the Beauty. Note: A timer
will appear at the top of the screen. She will attempt to grapple again.
Simply equip the camera, aim it at her, and she will pose for you. Click
the camera on and off to get various poses. Eventually the timer will
run out (3:00), and the Beauty will die. This works well when you want
a new background for your PlayStation 3 because the game allows you
to take in-game photos and send them to your homepage.
Play the "Oishii ChuhanSeikatsu" Japanese pop
song on your iPod while fighting a Beauty. She will start dancing. If
you aim a camera at her, she will pose.
Beauties straddle Snake
During any of the Beauties battles, lie down, and they will straddle
Snake, then he will knock them off.
Beauty And The Beast magazine models
You can buy a magazine with pictures of the models that the Beauty And
The Beast unit were based on from Drebin.
Japanese models on TV
Flick the TV remote with the Mk II to get Japanese models to appear
on the television.
Barely dressed women
Flick the remote for the screen Campbell talks to you on with the Mk
II to see pictures of ladies in their underwear.
Naomi's cleavage
When Naomi is in the Nomad and on the computer talking, use the Mk II
to look at Otacon's computer. His webcam is focused on Naomi's cleavage.
Alternate Rose's shirt
During the third playthrough of the game, when you first meet Rose she
will be wearing a new shirt.
Shake Rose's breasts
When you speak with Rose on the Codec, shake the Sixaxis to make her
breasts move.
Reading Playboy magazine
To look through the Playboy magazine, press R1, then go into first person
view. Then, hold L1 and press Circle to go through the pages. If the
game puts you in third person view, press Triangle to enter first person
view to see the models.
Akina Minami posters
There are two posters of Akina Minami in the Vista mansion. Look at
them in first person view, and Snake will say her name and his Psyche
gauge will increase.
Clearing areas
Clear an area of all enemies in Act 1 or Act 2. All the allied soldiers
will begin to cheer. No additional enemies will respawn in those areas
if you return.
Keeping Meryl safe
While fighting Psycho Mantis, CQC Meryl, and inject her with the syringe
to take her safely out of the fight. Note: Mantis might take control
of her again after awhile.
Bypassing Gekkos
Shoot five tranquilizer rounds into the legs of a Gekko. It will collapse
and thrash around on the floor. You can walk past without being spotted
while that is happening.
Easy Gecko kill
When you are in the basement lab at Shadow Moses and the Gecko appears,
send the Mk II to the electric console to the right of the elevator.
Note: This is the same console that was destroyed with the rocket in
the original Metal Gear Solid. Use the Mk II to reactivate the electric
floor and destroy the Gecko.
Defeating Vamp
In the first part of the battle against Vamp, after you get his health
low enough, he will fall down. As he gets up, grab him in a CQC hold,
and inject him with the syringe that you obtained earlier. This will
disable his Nanites and make him mortal.
You do not have to deplete Vamp's health before CQC grabbing
him. Hide and sneak up behind him for a CQC.
Instead of depleting his life, use a tranquilizer gun
and shoot his head. He will fall down, immediately giving you the chance
for the CQC.
Rats
Crawl around the vents in Shadow Moses to encounter Rats. When they
see Snake, "!" will appear above their heads, accompanied
with a sound. They will run away. Keep chasing them, and they will repeat
the "!" alert. Following the rats is a good way to get in.
If you call Otacon after you see the rats, Snake will talk about them
and how they helped him before.
Long game advisory
If you complete a chapter after 4 a.m., a message will come up during
the install screen (Snake smoking), suggesting that you get up and do
some stretches, and saying that you have been playing awhile.
Mystery man
When tailing a resistance member, if you look behind Snake, you will
occasionally notice a man with a hat and trenchcoat also tailing him.
This is how the Scarabs found the hideout. If you try to shoot him,
he will duck away around the corner and disappear.
Feminine guile comments
Wear one of the Beauty's face paints in Act 3. The Resistance will ask
Snake, "Hey, are you looking for a real man?" The vehicle
patrols will also honk at you as they drive by.
Otacon comments
Call Otacon a few times in Shadow Moses at the part where Snake originally
fought Vulcan Raven in the tank (and is now where two sleeping Geckos
are found). Otacon will say that "Snake is the craziest bad ass
who ever lived."
Otacon tech support
Try to access any feature that requires Internet connectivity while
not connected. A chat menu featuring Otacon will appear, and he will
try to give you technical support.
Naomi reflection
During the Act 5 mission briefing, immediately after Otacon lights Snake's
cigarette, he adjusts his glasses. When he does this, you can see a
reflection of Naomi on their lenses.
Dancing Sunny
Play the "Oishii ChuhanSeikatsu" Japanese pop song on Snake's
iPod. During that song, press Start to see Sunny dancing at the bottom
left corner.
Sunny's song
In Act 3, while you are trailing the Resistance member, listen to his
whistle. It is what Sunny will hum during mission briefings.
Liquid Ocelot kiss
At the third part of the final fight, when Liquid Ocelot grabs Snake
by the neck, allow the controller to idle. After some time, Liquid Ocelot
will kiss Snake on the cheek.
Message from Liquid
In Act 5, if you die and wait an extended period to select "Continue"
or "Exit", you will hear Liquid say "It's not over yet,
brother!", and the "Exit" button will change to read
"Exist". Using it will move your selection over to "Continue",
but then you will have the option to exit again.
After death messages
After dying, call Rose to hear a conversation about Snake having dreams
of being killed or a comment from Snake saying that he feels like he
has died once before.
Controlling briefing projector
During the Act 5 mission briefing, use the Left Analog-stick to change
the projection's height on the screen. This will make some of the attendees
angry.
Trailing wolves
Tranq Crying Wolf, and the wolves in that area will follow you.
Attacking wolves
In Act 4, kill one of the wolves after you defeat Crying Wolf. The others
will attack you. Call Otacon, and he will wince. Call Rose, and she
will tell you that animal cruelty is the first sign of criminal behavior,
and says that she will have you psychologically assessed if you continue
to kill them.
FROG soldier reaction to searches
Hold up a FROG soldier, and body search them. When you would normally
ball crush a male prisoner, they will say "You men are all the
same", "You're disgusting!", or "Ugh" and kick
you.
When you search a FROG soldier when they have no items,
she will giggle as if ticklish.
When you search a FROG soldier and touch her chest, sometime
she will moan or say "You're pretty good at this".
Militia soldier execution
Sneak through the first part after the opening, and go through the buildings.
At the building to the right of where the APC shows up, crawl under
the rubble. You will see a militia soldier get brutally shot after pleading
for his life.
No smoking sign
Whenever Snake is smoking there is always a no smoking sign behind him.
Urination
When tracking Naomi in Act 2, look to the right when crossing the river
to see a guard relieving himself.
Follow the resistance member in Act 3 to see him urinating
in the fountain in the small park.
In the central park during Act 3, there is a statue that
Snake can interact and imitate. Stay in that pose until a resistance
member appears, and he will urinate on you.
Boktai: The Sun Is In Your Hands reference
There is a gun called the "Stun Gun" which is actually a reference
to one of Hideo Kojima's older games, Boktai: The Sun Is In Your Hands
for the Game Boy Advance. This is confirmed when Solid Snake raises
the gun towards the sun to recharge and yells out "Sunlight",
much like the main character did in Boktai.
Hideo Kojima references
After defeating Screaming Mantis and immediately after Psycho Mantis
vibrates your controller, keep pressing X to see Hideo Kojima.

game will show the opening screen, except the word "Kojima"
will replace "Konami". The game will then resume the Psycho
Mantis fight.
Press L1 to examine the .50 Cal Anti-Material Sniper Rifle
to see "Recommended by Hideo Kojima."
When Snake hides from the two Irvings next to the box
of watermelons, the box reads "No Place For Hideo."

lab using the camera. It is between Policenauts and the poster that
from a distance reads "Final Fantasy VI".
On the computer, the term "Video 2" is called
"Hideo 2".

on the Codec and notify you that the trick does not work twice. You
will also get a suggestion about destroying the bust.
When you die in Act 4, the "Game Over" music
from the first Metal Gear Solid will play.
After you die during the final Boss battle and select
"Exit", it quickly changes to "Exist". Liquid Ocelot
says "Not yet Snake, it's not over yet" and it moves the pointer
back to "Continue". This is a reference to a quote by Liquid
in the original Metal Gear Solid.

start talking about Snake, press L1 to see posters from Metal Gear Solid,
Metal Gear Solid 2, Metal Gear Solid 3, and Metal Gear Solid: Portable
Ops.
In the Nomad briefing missions, take control of the Mk
II, and go to the right of the helicopter. There are three separately
caged chickens, each with its own label: "Solid", "Liquid",
and "Solidus". This is a reference to the three Big Boss clones.
A further reference to those chickens happens at the very beginning
of Act 1 when Sunny is cooking eggs. She says "Only two eggs? Solidus
must've taken the day off."
The rubber duck in the upper gantry of the Nomad can also
be found in Capture The Flag mode in Metal Gear Online; in the GA-KO
camouflage in Metal Gear Solid 3; and floating in the flooded Shell
Core in Metal Gear Solid 2.
When you are in the final showdown with Liquid, when it
enters the third stage of the fight, Liquid will do Ocelot's signature
hand gesture.

you as you enter that building and tell you to change discs. He then
catches himself and starts talking about Blu-Ray and the PlayStation
3.
When you send out the Mk 2, look over Snake's shoulder
by tilting the camera. He is using a PlayStation 3 controller to control
it.
Use the Codec to call Rose during the fight with Screaming
Mantis. Campbell will tell you to switch controller ports. Rose will
get angry and say there are not any controller ports because this is
on a PlayStation 3.
If you use a Sixaxis controller against Psycho Mantis
he says, "What? No vibration!" and the flashbacks show the
Sixaxis.
PSP reference
During the Act 2 briefing, Sunny is playing a PSP. The game is Penguin
Adventure, a 1986 title for the MSX computer system, which was Hideo
Kojima's first game.

fortress or something similar. Snake then says, "He has his very
