METAL GEAR SOLID 2 / TRIVIA

Fun trivia

Three memorable details to notice while playing Metal Gear Solid 2.

Spoiler notice: This guide discusses story progression or late-game content.

Edition covered

Sons of Liberty campaign. Shared mechanics documented in the Master Collection manual; original PS2 controls and collection bindings can differ.

01

A missing radar can be intentional

In the Plant, nodes provide area map information. On relevant difficulties, radar access depends on using the node first.

02

A raised hand can be a collectible opportunity

Holding up a guard can lead to a dog tag. The stealth system creates a collection activity as well as a way past patrols.

03

Two chapters, different perspectives

The Tanker and Plant divide the story into distinct playable situations. Equipment and objectives should be read in the context of the current chapter.

FIELD NOTE

Use the edition note above when comparing a checklist with another release. Story completion, collecting and platform achievements are separate goals.
