Tricks

• Projector avoidance

Methods of dealing with the projector:

1. Crawl under it (yeah, right).
2. Press Tr next to the box to turn the guards around, and use the other exit.
3. Equip a box to run underneath it.
4. Run past, very close to the southern line of marines.

• Hold 2 progression via left side

The normal route for Hold 2 is to travel along the right side of the area. The left side has two metal boxes with marines standing very close.

While the marines are looking to the right, if you squeeze past them, you'll touch them and they'll turn clockwise to look south. As long as you don't stick around this is no problem. Alternatively, do a running hold-up and they'll lean forward enough for you to squeeze through without touching them.

• Hold 1/2 upper exits

You can make it to the upper exits with Lv.1 grip. You must have full Life.

• MARINES photo from distance

You can take the MARINES photo from the same location you would take the front-right photo from (near the computer). First, make sure that you are behind the metal box. If you look closely you should be able to see the white logo on a circular area at the left side of Ray. The box should be right in front of you while you're pointing at it. Stay zoomed out and take a photo centred on the logo.

• Crawlspace clip

No real use has been found for this glitch yet. Find a spot where, tight to one corner of the wall is a crawlspace, and the other side is long enough to press against it and slide /away/ from the corner. Press against it, crouch, and start to slide away, then tap R2 repeatedly as quickly as possible to equip/unequip your weapon. Snake will start to move in the opposite direction, and into the crawlspace. Once you're far enough, you'll clip through or on top of the obstacle if there was one, or will go out of bounds.
