Boss camouflage
Hornet Stripe
Drain the blue stamina gauge with non-lethal attacks to earn Hornet Stripe from The Pain, Spider from The Fear, Fire from The Fury, Cold War from Volgin and Snake from The Boss.
Mosin-Nagant
A stamina victory instead unlocks the Mosin-Nagant tranquilizer rifle, so both rewards require separate actions.

- Moss camouflage is a hold-up reward. The End does not award Moss simply because you tranquilize him.
- Use the camouflage index in the jungle. A uniform is only part of concealment: face paint, posture, movement and the surrounding surface also affect visibility.
- Treat special effects as trade-offs. Spider camouflage improves concealment but consumes stamina rapidly, making it a situational tool.
