BASIC ACTIONS

Here is the list of all the cool actions you can perform.


Ordered By:
Aim and Move
Press Down + X to shoot while moving. It's useful for escaping attacking guards while at the same time killing them.

Cardboard Box
Select this from your items list to hide under the cardboard box. It's useful for hiding from enemies, though if an enemy sees you moving or bumps into the box, your cover is blown.


  Item id #3905   

Chokehold
While having your weapon unequipped, sneak up behind a guard and press Square to grab him, now there's three things you can do: snap his neck, knock him out, or leave him. To snap his neck, rapidly press Square until his neck has snapped. To knock him out, just press Square about 8 times to cause him to lose consciousness.


  Item id #3871   

Corner View
This is useful when you want to know what lays ahead when approaching a corner. Flatten yourself against a wall near the corner and you'll get a corner view. By doing this you can view what's around the corner while not exposing yourself.

Dragging Enemies
While a guard is laying on the ground, walk up to him while not having a weapon equipped and press the Square button to pick him up and then start dragging him to an area where he can't be spotted.


  Item id #3870   

Knock on Wall
When flattened against a wall, press the Circle button to knock on the wall. If a guard is nearby, he'll hear it and investigate the area. This will provide you with an open opportunity to sneak past him.


  Item id #3872   

Quick Change
To quickly equip or unequip a weapon, tap the R1 button; to quickly equip or unequip an item, tap the L1 button. Also by doing this, it will automatically reload your gun, very useful when fighting many enemies and you don't have time to manually reload.


  Item id #3873   

Quick Slowdown
Since there is actually no way to walk in this game, this is useful when going over nosiy surfaces so that nearby guards aren't alerted. While running, press Square to make Snake reach out as if he were to grab someone. When he does this he will slow down and not make any noise while running.


  Item id #3875   

Rappelling
During a point in the game, you will have to repel down a wall. When rappeling, press X to jump away from the wall then press one of four directions on the D-pad to move down the wall. If you want to keep yourself against the wall, press Circle and then one of four directions on the D-pad to move.


  Item id #3877   

Shoot in First-Person View
This is only possible during the Jeep fight agaisnt Liquid near the end of the game. Press Triangle to go into FPV, it is much easier to aim in FPV.


  Item id #3876   

Throw
This is a helpful when out of ammo and around many guards. Simply run towards a guard with no weapon equipped and press Square and Snake will grab the guard around the waist and toss him over his shoulder. When playing on easier difficulties, this will knock out the guard.


  Item id #3868   

Torture Event
At a point in the game, Snake will be tortured. An electrical current will be sent through his body, severely bringing down his health. To regain your health you must press Circle rapidly to gain it back as it's depleted. You can skip this sequence by simply pressing Select, though there will be consequences, so I suggest not doing that.
