I can tell you what is in the extreme difficulty which is just more guards, more defense for the bosses, more security cameras, and no X on the map. Thats basically about it. This walkthrough won't go through the side quests, only if you really need some of the items and you either have to do them. It's just a straight walkthrough from the beginning to the finish, not many side things. Sides are in the report section. To help you a little bit I will make a compass for you. People tend to get East, and West mixed up sometimes. You can also remind yourself by saying "East equals right, West equals left." North | | West---East [NWES] type this in the find menu and it'll bring you back here. | | South Nothing to special, my drawing with computer signs suck I know. What is it called ASII or ACII or somethin I forgot. What I mean when I say "Number to take care of" I mean the number of guards that you need to knock out/kill/put to sleep in order to reach your destination. First pick New Game and it will ask you to input a name for the save file.

Stamina kill is the best way to go. Make sure not to make contact with him like rolling into him because it'll do damage to you. He does a nitrogen bomb attack which freezes your weapons to unfreeze them simply go toward the metal cage like object and wall hug it. When he does straight shooting just keep strafing to the side. If you run out of ammo there is some there for you to get. He's not that hard. If you want the easy way out just use a shotgun on him, I prefer the M870 since it holds more ammo in one clip. I only recommend this after you have gotten him. Move List: Liquid Nitrogen Grenade: Throws a grenade of liquid nitrogen which freezes your weapons and does some damage to you. Scatter Shot: Shoots all around your area. Takes up quite a lot if you get hit directly. Straight Shooting: Shoots in a lined formation. If you stand still your it'll take up a hell of a lot. Liquid Nitrogen Counter: If you hit him he will counter with this where LN comes out of his body and if your to close you can get hit. Gun Smack: Runs up to you and smacks you with his gun. When you beat him a cutscene will come and depending if you stamina or Hp killed him the scenes will differ.

Head up North and go the end of the large metal crate and wall hug it and use your camera to look at the guard. You should see his back sneak up behind him and choke him out.

(Cutscene) BOSS: Null [BOS2] Equip your Mk22 and always aim at him and move when he is shooting. This is how I fight him, I take a considerable amount of hits but it won't kill me. As long as you have those Large Med Kits your fine. You can shoot him when he reloads or sometimes when he is running you have to shoot him from the sides. Remember to always keep aiming at him. When he raises his Machete is means that he is going to do his Rush Slice, shoot him when he raises it to stop him. The battle isn't that hard. Never try to use CQC on him cause he'll just counter and don't try to roll into to him. Always keep moving while aiming and use your med kits when you life is orange. When he stands still it means that he is going to do his Jumping Slash. You can also use the M870 or another shotgun on him since it is his weakness. You will still get him. Move List: Spray Of Bullets: Shoots his gun at you in a lot of directions. Machete Combo: Runs up to you and does three slashes with his machete. Or if your close he also does it. Rush Slice: Sometimes raises his machete before doing it. His most powerful move he comes towards you with blinding speed and slices you with his machete taking up a lot of health.

You should be near the ramp and if you hear a girl's voice say "huh" go to the ramp and wall hug the wall beside it then wait for her to come down. When she does quickly grab her and throw her down and make her freeze and shoot her in the head. Now head up the ramp and there should be another guard on top, wait until he turns his back then sneak up to him and knock him out. If you don't see him just wall hug the crate and wait till he comes and turns around. Now head East and into the door at the end. Keep following the path until you see another path branching to the left, wall hug the wall next to it and make sure the guard turns his back then sneak behind him and knock him out.

You can hide behind the rectangular metal crates and he will keep shooting his gun until he has to reload, when he does shoot him. Or you can do the other way by continuosly aiming and taking the hits and shoot at him when he reloads. Use your Large Med Kits when needed. You can sometimes shoot him when he is right about to shoot but it's hard to pull of, or when he is running you can shoot him in the side. You can also use the M870 or the other shotgun on him since it is his weakness. You will still get him regardless. Same movelist as Before (See the previous Null part for the move list.)

Sneak behind him when he turns around and knock him out. Now walk down the ramp and at the end you should see another ramp leading up. Go up it and there will be a guard there and another guard on the other side of the wall. Wait until the guard on the other side of the wall walks away (away enough so he can't see you) then knock out the guard at the ramp where you are. Now head down the ramp and go towards the up most wall and make the other guard on the other side of the wall notice your footsteps and make sure he is out of your radar. Quickly go back up the ramp around half way and roll jump onto the crates and on the other side of the wall. Now go North a little and sneak towards the green crates. Use your camera to see the guard and wait till he turns his back then sneak behind him and knock him out.

Then go West then South and there will be a call when you pass the door. 2 guards will be here, first knock out the one without the shield when he is close to the metal crate. Then go after the shield guard. Now head through the door where the shield guard was and once through go South (roll jump) and then roll jump again onto the crates to the East. There will be a Key there, take it and head back to the door where the call was and into it. Now go up North (the guard here won't do anything) and into the door and there will be another door which is locked. Go up to it and use your radio to put in the frequency 14575 and the door will open. If you want to know how to get that frequency you have to look at the wall behind the guard that you passed, it will be written on the wall. You can try grabbing him and throwing him down then freezing him. Now Go in and head South into the other door and up the ramp then into the door. Now head East then West and go up to the locked door and put in the frequency 14742. If you want to know how to get that frequency you just have to look up on the cieling at the little space in the wall and it will be written up there. Go through the door and into the next then head East and climb on top of the crates to get the Chaff Grenades. Use the chaff grenades on the cameras then go towards the cameras and head all the way West, there will be a guard about half way, knock him out even if he sees you. Go to the locked door and put in the frequency 14851 and go through the door. If you want to know how to get that frequency you just have to look at the glass and it'll look like 128 but there is a crawl space which takes you to the other side and it will be reversed looking like 851. I've tried putting in 128 and it goes through but nothing happens. Head West up the ramp then head through the door and then another. There will be a camera, chaff it and get the key then head back out the door. Jump over the railing and drop down onto the next platform with the door on it and go into the door and head all the way down into the X. (Call) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Manage: Map [M9] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Equip snake with a Rocket Launcher and some HEAT ammo, along with 10-15 Large Med Kits, and his trusty Mk22. Also put some arms specialist in the spy unit into the Silo Complex area, 2 should do. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Elevator: Silo Complex [EP29] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (Call) (Cutscene) BOSS: Cunningham [BOS5] He is quite easy just use the RPG-7 to shoot his platform until he goes down then use your Mk22 to unleash on him you can get arond a whole ammo clip on him when he's down. Just keep repeating this and use your med kits when low on health. Remember not to get to close to the edge because if he hits you with a missile and you're to close you can easily fall off. When he throws the mines simply shoot them. Move List: Machine Gun: Shoots his machine gun thats attached to his platform. Easy to dodge. Electric Laser: A red laser beam goes around your area dealing electrical damage but not taking up to much. Missles: Launches 2 missles at you. Missile Barrage: Launches around 5 or more missles at you, his ultimate move. Machine Gun Laser: A combination of Machine Gun and Electric Laser. Mine Throw: Throws a couple of mines around your area. (Cutscene) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Manage: [M10] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Wait a few days to regain your health and stamina back (by now you should have a decent med team) then equip Snake with a Mk22, 9 TMM ammo, 10-15 Large Med Kits, 5-10 Large Rations. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Finally, Metal Gear: Launch Control Room [EP30] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (Cutscene) BOSS: Gene [BOS6] Gene can become quite difficult if you get unlucky and don't use your Med Kits. You can only shoot at him at 5 situations: 1. When he is tired after doing his Speed Dash 2. When he is running while his back is open to shoot at 3. After his Knife Barrage attack the second he stops you can land a hit on him 4. Once he throws his knifes at you, you can land a hit on him (you will get hit if you are doing this one, you have to do it really quickly to) 5. When he is doing his Speak into your mind move use an automatic weapon like a machine gun or a M63 and just keep holding down the circle button and auto aiming at him (L) and he'll keep dodging until he stops and you'll hit him. (You have to keep on holding circle and keep bringing the bullets on him) To make the battle easier just keep auto aiming (L) on him. The Speed Dash can be frustrating but it is easy to dodge. Simply when you see his body is full yellow dodge roll to the side right away, if he hits you it'll take up a lot so be sure to have atleast above half health. After the attack he gets tired so this is your chance to hit him. Even if you get hit you will still have enough time to get up and shoot him. You can also stop him from doing the Speed Dash by just shooting him right before he starts it up. It is easier when using a automatic weapon like a Machine Gun. The moment you see him in his Speed Dash stance just shoot him. His Speak in Your Mind technique drains your stamina and to counter it you simply have to hit him, use dodge roll to hit him the quickest. Use your rations when your stamina reaches yellow. Don't shoot at him at any other times other than the ones previously stated. He will just counter any other attacks. If you want the easy way out, just shoot him with the M870 shotgun it will take up a hell of a lot of damage on him and will knock him down. Move List: Knife Combo: Does a 3 slash combo to you if you are close to him. Counter Knife: Throws a couple of knifes at you when you shoot at him. Knife Throw: Throws a couple of knifes at you. Knife Barrage: Throws countless knifes at you in a single formation. Speed Dash: His most powerful move, a blinding speed dash that takes up a lot of you life. Speak in Your Mind: Speaks into your mind and drains your stamina rapidly. (Cutscene) Well you beat the game congratulations, you will still have stuff to do so keep on playing. Enjoy the credits and the wonderful song "Calling to the Night". If you keep watching you will see a little something... +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ \ TIPS & MISC / +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ How to get a Level 99 Tech [TIP1] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It's not that hard to get a Level 99 Tech. First of all you should have Sokolov and Singint both in your Tech unit. The rest should be made up of Level A and S elite engineers. You can usually find Level A and sometimes Level S Elite Engineers at the Plant. Also only get Elite Engineers that are Level A or S. Make sure that they are Elite Engineers. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ How to get a Level 99 Medical [TIP2] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Getting a Level 99 Medical is quite harder than getting 99 Tech. Unlike the tech which grants boosts for engineers and elite engineers the medical classes do not grant any boosts. If you want to have a Level 99 Medical you will have to have all Level S Medical people. First of all you should have Para-medic. For some reason when you pair up a couple of people together you will get a +1 bonus, sometimes. You can sometimes find Level S Meds at the Hospital, but it isn't common, you will usually get A's or sometimes worse. You can sometimes get Level S Meds through Access Point Scan or by trading online. You can use the same access point once per game. Also having Elisa helps greatly because she has a S in Medical and raises it by 18 instead of 12. Also try going to the Research Lab and recruting the Male Scientists there, you can get 2 there. S's arn't common though so you might have to do it for a while and be patient. Although you can get lucky sometimes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ How to get a lot of recruits fast [TIP3] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ An easy way to recruit a lot of people is to either knock out or put to sleep all the enemies in one area then drag them all to a hiding spot and then hide in that spot thats next to the enemies. Now you should have switched members because when you hide you have to switch. Use your other member to use the Prisoner Evacuation Frequency and boom you just got a whole bunch of recruits in one move. It takes a while and it really isn't recommnended in Extreme difficulty. Also when you drag them to the spot make sure to shoot them in the head with a tranq again incase they wake up. If you don't want to do that way you could also just do it like this. Drag a knocked out soldier to a hiding spot and then hide in the spot where the knocked out soldier is and use your other member to call up the Prisoner Evacuation frequency. I find it a lot more easier and quicker to do it this way than dragging them to the back of your truck, because the hiding spots are a lot more closer. If you don't know how to get the Prisoner Evac frequency then just go to the frequencies section. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Can it go up to the 1980's? [TIP4] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ No it cannot. After you pass December 31 1971 it just says TIME PARADOX. It doesn't stop you from playing it just stops the dates from going up. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Knife, The Ultimate Weapon? [TIP5] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Both the Spetnaz Knife and normal Knife are incredibly strong weapons and can kill ALL enemies (except for bosses of course) in one blow. All you have to do is simply lock on with L and HOLD down the Circle button to do the one hit stab with the Knife, or with the Spetsnaz Knife you just have to hold down Circle. An advantage when using the Spetsnaz Knife is that the enemies won't think your suspecious because you are not locking on to them. But it can be hard to hit them without locking on. With the Knife you can get spotted easily since when you lock on the enemy get's alerted and suspecious of you. I suggest that you sneak from behind and attack with this knife. Once you kill someone with this one hit move the enemy will make scream and possibly alert other enemies. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Getting More Mk22s [TIP6] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You can easily get more Mk22s by recruting Para-Medic, and by recruiting Male and Female Scientists at the Hospital and Research Labs. They SOMETIMES carry them but it's not often. I've gotten around 4 or 5 Mk22s from the Female Scientists only. Another way is to constantly recruit Paradmedic over and over using the password but every time you get her you take the Mk22 that she has equipped then just discharge her. You can put the password back in again to get her back. Just keep repeating the steps until you're happy with the amount you have. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ GAKO, Chaff, Magazine Technique [TIP7] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When you hold up a person (Make them freeze) and you point the gun to their head or shoot next to them they will shake and drop items. If the person drops a GAKO, Chaff Grenade, or Magazine they will have better stats. If a person drops a GAKO they will have high health and around 2 or more S ranks on any field. If a person drops a Chaff Grenade they will have around 1-2 S ranks in any field. If a person drops a Magazine they will usually have high health. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Opening Those so Called Unlockable Doors [TIP8] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As you venture thorough your game you will probably notice that some doors are locked and you just can't find a way to open them. For example in the first Prison mission there is a locked door, and also in the first Reaseach Lab mission there are a couple of locked doors. I will tell you how to open these doors. First of all there are 2 types of doors, sliding doors and normal doorknob doors. The sliding doors make a beeping sound when you try to open them and the doorknob doors will be locked when you press triangle to open them. To open locked doorknob doors you either have to make a guard come through it by making them notice you, such as knocking. Some doors require keys but you will get them regardless in report missions so don't worry about those. For the sliding doors it gets kind of tricky. You have to grab a enemy from behind and initiate the choking hold. Don't drop them or choke them out. You have to drag them while in the choking position to the sliding door and it will open. To open both types of doors you just have to be in alert mode and all the enemies will open the locked doors when coming after you. You have to be near a locked door then the enemy might come from that door and it'll be open, but once it is closed it will lock so you have to be quick. If you open doors by dragging people to it or making them open it by noticing you the doors will stay open fot the remainder of the time you stay in that area. Some of the locked doors become unlocked by themselves as you progress in the game. Well there you go. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Getting the XM177E2 [TIP9] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The XM is a great weapon indeed, you don't get any from the reports so you have to recruit people who have them. The XM is a silenced assualt rifle and is pretty powerful. One of my favourite weapons. To get them you have to get the Report in the Security Base saying that there are Ex-FOX members in that area. Mostly all of those EX-FOX members will be carrying a XM. Recruit them all to get the gun. You can get 3-4 in this mission. ADDED BY Otto Wong After you complete the report about the Ex-FOX members you can revisit the area over again and get unlimited XM177E2. This only applies if you start off at the SOUTH-EAST CORNER of the map, if you do there will be a FOX soldier across the trench. If you recruit him he will be carrying a XM177E2. Just strip it off of him and if he's crap kick him out of there. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Getting Body Armor Very Early in the Game [TIP10] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You can get the Body Armor really early in the game in the first mission in the Security Base, the one that you have to get the document. The body Armor is in the basement and you have to crawl into the vent to reach it. If you press start and press triangle twice to reach the basement floor the Body Armor is in the room on the left side. Follow the vent path to reach to that room. You can continue to go back to the Security Base over and over and get as much Body Armor as you need. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Null [TIP11] ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Simply just use a Shotgun on him, and in about 4-5 shots he will die. The shotgun seems to be his weakness and takes up a hell of a lot of health damage on him. I personally used the M870 becuse it holds more ammo in one clip. You will have to go up close to him and blast him when he is reloading, you might get hit but if you can kill him in 4-5 shots then it really doesn't matter. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cunningham [TIP11a] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ --------------------------- NOT CREATED BY katastrophie --------------------------- Created by: Nicholas Wong Edited by: katastrophie An extremely easy way to kill Cunningham is to use a S rank heavy weapons soldier and auto-aim (Hold L) an M63 on him. Just keep firing and reload when necessary. The M63 knocks down his vehicle after about 5 seconds. Once his vehicle smokes and goes down, move closer and just keep on firing auto-aim (Hold L) with the M63. It will take 1/4 of his health if you're good. It is easy to kill him without getting hurt once. I beat him on extreme without using a healthpack. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Waking up Enemies [TIP12] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When the enemy is knocked out or sleeping simply kick them by pressing circle 3 times. Keep doing this until they get out. If they are knocked out the stars will start to go away one by one. If asleep the Z's will go away one by one. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The WAIT Funtion [TIP13] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I've decided to make this a tip since a lot of people that are new to the game or have just bought it have this problem of finding out how to do various things that the WAIT function allows you to do. The WAIT function is located on the World Map when you press X and then a whole bunch of other icons appear. It is the last icon and it says WAIT and has the number 3 next to it. When you press the WAIT icon it advances the day by 12 hours in total a whole day and a half. To recover the WAIT icon simply go into any area and exit back out again and it will be restored back to 3. What the WAIT function does. -Recovers stamina and Hp of soldiers -Makes you get reports faster when placing spies in areas -Advanaces the day by 12 hours each press -Allows spies to procure more ammo -You get your medical supplies faster from the people in your med unit -Your technical unit makes stuff faster since their level is rising And thats basically it, the WAIT is a great tool but for some reason it is missed by a lot of people. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ How to Get More Stamina and HP [TIP14] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To get more Stamina and HP you have to deploy your characters in STORY MISSIONS only. For each story mission they get deployed in they get +1 Stamina and HP. You don't have to play as them they just have to be in the same Sneaking Unit as your main one and they will get their Stamina and HP up. For example you have 4 people in your sneaking unit and you go into a story mission and only use Snake. The other 3 people will also get the Stamina and HP bonus. Story missions deals with missions that are related to the main story only. Basically the ones that are in the walkthrough. You can get a max Hp of 60 points from the starting Hp that your soldier had and a max of 100 points of stamina from the starting stamina that your soldier had. For example your soldier starts out with Hp=100 and Stamina=200. That soldiers max Hp will be 160 and the stamina will be 300. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Auto Headshot [TIP15] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Have a gun equipped and when you are near a enemy or close enough that you can aim on them hold L to auto lock then press and hold R to go into first person view. Aim the gun up little and your aim should be on the guys head. Now shoot the hell out of him. This takes a while to do so I suggest practicing. When you aim you have to move it up slightly, if you keep practicing you will get the feel for it and then be really good online. To practice just go into any area and go into alert mode and practice on the enemies. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ AP Scan [TIP17] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ AP Scanning is a cool little feature that allows you to recruit soldiers with ease. To access AP Scan you have to go in the world map and press X once. A row of icons will come and go to the one that says recruit and go into it. Now go into AP Scan. In AP Scan mode there will be a constant beeping sound and a little bar. The object here is to get the bar high enough so that it reaches the white line at the end. In order to do this you need to walk around with your PSP until it picks up a wifi signal or wireless internet hotspot. When it does the bar will appear and then you have to tap X over and over until it reaches the white line and says recruit. If it does not reach and the bar stops just try walking around again or positioning your PSP at a different angle and try again. AP Scanning is great, you can get people with S in Med and Tech and other fields. You can get the Ocelot, KGB, and GRU soldiers also. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tom Crowley's (Soop) AP Scan Guide [TIP17a] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------------------------ NOT MADE BY katastrophie ------------------------ (Requested by Tom Crowley to put this in) Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops Access Point Scanning recruitment guide ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Made By: Tom Crowley Edited By: katastrophie ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------------------- General information ------------------- -- 1. -- To be able to use the same access point again you will have to dismiss the soldier that you got from that access point then you will be able to use it again. -- 2. -- It's easier to get the soldier the closer you are to the access point. It's not necessary to be within close range - as long as you have a signal, you can get the soldier. Although it takes longer from far away, you don't have to constantly hammer the O button. If you're able to (say in a café), just put the PSP down for about 2 minutes. Now when you pick it up and start hitting O to boost, it will be quicker and easier. -- 3. -- The stats are totally random. There is no such thing as a "good" access point. I found this the hard way when I finally got an S from one, didn't save, and didn't get one on the second try (a couple of days later). -- 4. -- The soldier seems to change every day or so, and is likely based on your PSPs clock. I would suspect (although I haven’t tested) that incrementing the date by one day would produce a different soldier to one you’ve just turned down. -- 5. -- You can still acquire a soldier very far away, possibly out of range, of an access point. I say this because I got LOADS on a bus journey, and on a fast road where we must have been out of range in no time, I was still acquiring soldiers from weak signals. It's not always possible, but if it's an easy grab, you can do it. -- 6. -- The WiFi antenna seems to be oriented towards the D-pad end of the PSP, and you tend to get you get a massive boost from some signals if you point that end at the signal you want to acquire, which then drops away if you move it. There is also a slight lag which makes the angle difficult to pinpoint. This only happens on certain access points, and there are others which will be the same strength no matter where you point. I’ve definitely observed both phenomenon, and they both occur consistently at different access points. This leads me to believe it must be connected with the type of router, and the antennas they use (omni-directional, or unidirectional?) -- 7. -- When you finally get a recruit, if it stays beeping really fast for longer after you get it, and there’s a delay with the red square in the corner, I’ve found this to be a higher chance of a good soldier (say an S medic). --------- Technique --------- Ok, just a little about technique. If you don’t have much control on time or destination (say as a passenger in a vehicle), your fingers are gonna need to be pretty speedy. You can try using your thumb, but the best way I’ve found is to lay your PSP on your thigh, and hit the O button as quickly as you can with your index finger. This has the benefit of allowing you to use different muscle groups when one gets tired. You can use your finger muscle, or you can use your wrist a little more, or you can use your forearm more. It’s also a bit quicker than using your thumb. Well, that’s it. I don’t have access to a GPS unit, and the passwords are covered in the FAQs above, but I hope this helps you get more recruits, and maybe saves your O button a little ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ AP Scan Router Trick [TIP17b] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------------------------ NOT MADE BY KATASTROPHIE Made by: Lee Rittenhouse ------------------------ The AP scanner in Portable Ops identifies access points by their wireless MAC addressess. Routers have a MAC address clone options that will let you change the wireless MAC address to anything you want. A standard MAC address has six pairs of numbers (in hexadecimal, so digits 0-9 and A-F are valid); just cycling the first pair from 00 to FF will give you 256 recruits. This is a great way to get rare characters if you live in places where APs are scarce. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Getting More Than One Stealth Camo [TIP18] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To be able to get more than one stealth camo you will need to be able to go online. When online there is a match that if you win against the opponent you get that soldier. Now if that soldier has stealth camo on them and you win you will get the stealth. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Make The Enemy Dazed [TIP19] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To do this you have to shoot the blue exclamation mark or question mark when an enemy notices something. This can be tricky since the marks only appear for a second or two and goes away. An easy way to do this is to have the GA-KO doll and if ya want stealth camo. Use the GA-KO doll and put it in the direction of the enemy but not to close. When the doll starts walking equip a gun and aim it at the guard's head, once the doll reaches the guard it'll spark up an exclamation mark on his head, since you already have the gun aimed at their head you should be able to shoot the mark with ease. You'll see the guard in a daze and kinda acting like he's drunk it'll only last for a little while, but it's long enough for you to lay the smack down on em. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Getting More SVDs [TIP20] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To get more SVDs you can go into the Airport and shoot one of the guards, don't kill him, just make him notice it and then he'll call for backup. The backup will be carrying the SVDs. Knock them out and recruit them to get the snipers. ========= Map [MA1] ========= The map is shown in order when pressing down on the control pad and starting of from the Prison.

Those will still add up at the end of the game. Don't discharge them when they are still prisoners then it won't count. Wait until they join you and if they're useless discharge them. This has to be done in one playthrough. If you failed the first time try again. Save that file when it tells you to save at the end of the creds and ranks.

Note: To actually know about this you will have to go to the Silo Entrance and do the old "I wonder how you get that door open" thing. If you interrogate a guard thats close by that locked door, he will say something about a frequency in the Power Substation. Thats how you figure it out and start investigating. Joost incase you wanted to know. Now head to the Silo Entrance and go to that locked room, it's right next to the place where you had to go to face Null for the first time. Put in that frequency and go inside an lo and behold and completly empty room with just one thing in it, blueprints. Pick it up and you will then get a report about someone needing rescue in the Plant. Now at the Plant head to the big huge room and Sokolov will be waiting at the top in a room. Use you MGS skills to navigate through and meet him. Boom the long and grueling journey to get Sokolov is over you can take a rest now.
