Hint: No More Camo

Shake the Sixaxis controller to return Snake's Octocamo to its neutral (black and blue) pigmentation.

Hint: Online Stealth Tips

When playing as Snake in the online sneaking mode, you should avoid lit areas so your shadow will not be as apparent. Also, in stages where characters emit frosty breath, have Snake play dead while prone to make Snake's breath disappear.

Hint: 100K Drebin Bonus

When entering the password into Otacon's terminal, input 14983

. Although incorrect, Snake will (invisibly) gain 100K of Drebin points. Run through the game a few more times with this and the no kills and no alerts bonuses, and you should amass quite a sum of Drebin points.

Hint: Online Friendlessness

Trying to find a friend on Metal Gear Online but can't? That's because a player needs to log into their MGO account (and onto a server) before you to find them. Additionally, you "add" their MGO character name to your Friends List (for Metal Gear Online only), not any other Playstation Network game.

Hint: Under-handed-ness

Throw your grenades under-handed by lightly holding the L1 button (or your aim button, if you changed your controls), instead of holding it down completely.

Hint: Big Boss Tips (Act 3)

For players who are frustrated by the hardiness of Extreme difficulty, here're a few tips for Act 3:

Press Triangle during the bike chase to take cover behind Eva. She cannot die during the bike chase, but Snake sure can!

While tailing the resistance member, try using the the Otacon FaceCamo (bump into Otacon during the Act 3 mission briefing with the Metal Gear Mk.II) and Civilian Costume combo and the PMCs do not seem to into alert so long as you only walk.
