Back in 2004, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater redefined what a stealth game could be. Now, with the release of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, fans are getting a full remake of one of the most beloved titles in the series. While Delta brings a visual overhaul and some welcome quality-of-life improvements, at its core this is the same classic masterpiece — complete with Kojima’s signature quirks, secrets, and clever mechanics.
If you’re diving into Snake’s jungle adventure for the first time (or brushing up after years away), here’s a detailed guide packed with tips to help you survive, sneak, and thrive.

Film Reels – A New Collectible Worth Hunting
One of the few brand-new features in Delta is film reels. Certain enemies carry these, and when defeated, a strip of film flies off their backs with a distinct sound.
👉 How to get them: You’ll need to sneak up behind these enemies, hold them up, then circle around to their front and aim at their face to force them to drop the reel.
These reels unlock special movies viewable after completing the game, making them a must-have for completionists.
Camouflage – Your First Stealth Lesson
Enemy vision in MGS3 (and now Delta) is surprisingly sharp. The only way to reliably sneak past is by matching your camo to the environment.
- 70–80% camo index: Safe to crawl, even in enemy line of sight.
- 85–90% camo index: You can walk right up to guards without being noticed.
- Hiding in grass or under objects offers extra concealment — but you’re not invisible. Guards can and will check if suspicious.

Stamina & Hunger – Don’t Let Snake’s Belly Betray You
Snake’s stamina isn’t just a health bar. Low stamina makes him shake while aiming, limits his underwater time, weakens his grip, and worst of all, causes loud stomach growls that alert nearby guards.
👉 Tip: Keep Snake fed and avoid dropping below half stamina. Stockpile reliable items like Calorie Mate and instant noodles, which never spoil.
Stealth Tools – Sonar, Footsteps, and Stalking
Snake’s sonar helps you detect enemies through walls, but be careful: the beeping noise is loud enough for guards to investigate.
Walking is another stealth challenge — even the lightest tilt of your stick makes noise. Use stalking stance (hold the left bumper) to move silently, though slower. From here, you can perform CQC takedowns or interrogations.
Close Quarters Combat (CQC) – More Than Just Punches
Grabbing enemies opens multiple tactical options:
- Interrogate for tips or radio codes.
- Choke out for a quiet KO.
- Neck break for a lethal finish.
- Human shield by holding them at gunpoint.
- Throw them aside — though this doesn’t knock them out, so be careful.
Experimenting with CQC can turn every encounter into a choice between survival, intel, or chaos.
Enemy States – Understanding the Four Levels of Detection
- Unaware – Guards patrol calmly.
- Caution – Triggered by suspicious activity (bodies, noise). Reinforcements may arrive.
- Alert – Guards shoot on sight until you break line of sight and hide.
- Evasion – A temporary state after alert; guards actively search hiding spots.
👉 Pro tip: Avoid high alert whenever possible. It’s rarely worth the risk.
Environmental Tricks – Use the Jungle Against Them
Snake’s survival arsenal includes more than guns:
- Roll oil drums down slopes to crush guards.
- Shoot beehives to scatter enemies.
- Toss pin-up magazines to distract them.
- Drop cages with snakes or spiders to cause chaos.
Even spoiled food can become a weapon: throw it at guards and watch them double over in pain (or worse).
Footprints, Radios, and Silencers – The Hidden Details
- Footprints in mud or water leave trails for enemies to follow — or for you to set up ambushes.
- Silencers wear out with use, so save them for crucial stealth kills.
- Shoot enemy radios with a silenced weapon to cut off reinforcements.
Survival Tricks – Rotten Food and Vomit Cures
If Snake eats spoiled food, he’ll get food poisoning, depleting stamina and even making him puke (which can also alert guards).
👉 Fixes:
- Take digestive medicine.
- Or spin Snake’s character in the Cure menu until he vomits — crude, but effective.
The Croc Cap – Early-Game Essential
The Croc Cap makes you nearly invisible in water and scares off dogs. If you have the sneaking DLC pack, it’s available from the start. Otherwise, you’ll find it in the Chaorn swamp by following a tricky climbing path across trees and ropes.
Final Thoughts – Mastering the Unseen War
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater isn’t just about sneaking in the shadows — it’s about adapting, experimenting, and using the bizarre, brilliant systems Kojima built nearly two decades ago. Delta may be a remake, but it retains all the quirks that made the original a classic.
Whether it’s weapon durability, stamina management, or the strange joy of distracting a soldier with a magazine, every mechanic pushes you to play creatively. Learn these tricks, and you’ll not only survive the jungle — you’ll master it.
