be doing one-armed pushups. Repeat and she will be doing leg stretches
on the wall. Repeat one more time and she will be doing the leg
stretches while pantless.

change to the rocket launcher and fire. This will result in a
more precise and accurate shot.

Glitch: Mystery suppresser:
A FMV sequence will start after Revolver Ocelot is
defeated. A ninja appears and cuts Revolver's hand off. When Snake
points his gun at the ninja, it has a suppresser attached, even
if it was not previously obtained.
Information in this section was contributed by JSSmalls02.
Glitch: No suppresser:
After killing Sniper Wolf for the second time, she
asks Snake to "set her free". When Snake shoots her,
his SOCOM has no suppresser, even if it was obtained.
Information in this section was contributed by Ryan Softcheck.
Glitch: Shoot Liquid Snake:
After entering the third Pal code, Miller is revealed
dead, and Liquid fills the room with gas, have Otacon open the
door. After exiting, look slightly to the right of Metal Gear's
head. You will see Liquid standing there. You can shoot him with
your PSG-1, but the bullets will just bounce off. Do not use the
Stinger, as it is needed for Metal Gear Rex. You cannot use the
Nikita in the Metal Gear room, and you cannot get close enough
to use the other weapons.
Information in this section was contributed by Ryan Softcheck.
Glitch: See events before they happen:
Hold Triangle to look around and press L1
or R1. This will cause Snake to peek left or right. You
can use this so see things before they happen. For example, immediately
after the DARPA Chief dies and Meryl opens the door, stand right
next to the door that was opened. Look her way, and peek. You
will see Meryl pressed up against a wall. Also, in the room with
all the dead bodies after the gas place, move approximately one
inch away from the corner. Move all the way onto the wall across
from it. Look and peek to see a guard being held up by Grey Fox.
Also, before you go into the room where you fight Ocelot, blow
up the wall and look inside. You can see the president held against
the wall. Note: If you accidently shoot him, the game will end.
Information in this section was contributed by Scott Miller.
Glitch: Run across noisy surfaces without
being heard:
Repeatedly press R1 button to equip and unequip
the SOCOM. If done quickly enough, Snake will glide across the
floor.
Information in this section was contributed by MegaBabe0405.
Glitch: White out mode:
This trick requires six C4 explosives and a turbo controller.
Go to the place where you took the elevator in the beginning.
Place one C4 on each of three soldier's back and one C4 under
each of the three cameras. Crawl into one of the two vents. Do
not crawl all the way into the vent. Turn around so you can see
outside of the vent. Pause the game. Set the turbo feature to
the detonate button for the C4, then resume game play. Hold the
detonate button the screen should turn white.
Information in this section was contributed by Tyler.
Glitch: Fall off the side of a building:
When fighting the Hind on top of the Comm Tower, shoot
a Stinger Missile at the box-like object across from the door.
Set yourself up so that you are facing the corner of it with the
horizon behind you. Aim at the bottom of it and shoot. If done
correctly, you should four or five backflips and be standing in
the air. The Hind cannot hurt you and you can still shoot at it.
When you destroy it, the intermission sequence will start and
you will be able to continue.
Information in this section was contributed by Chris De Benedetto.
Glitch: Impossible to fall:
It is impossible to fall off of Rex (the destroyed
Metal Gear) despite the fact in the FMV sequence, Liquid Snake
says that you will fall to your death if you cross the line. Note:
You will still hang on to Rex if you cross the line. To get back
up, rapidly press any button.
Information in this section was contributed by Brian D.
Glitch: Impossible jeep battle:
After you defeat Metal Gear and Liquid Snake, Otacon
or Meryl (depending on the torture event) will try to find a jeep
in the large room down the corridor. Shoot the barrels next to
the north wall. When you get in the jeep you cannot go any further,
even if you kill as many guards as you can. The game will think
the barrels are still there.
Information in this section was contributed by CoconutHead31425.
When you are escaping in the jeep at the very end, hold Triangle
to enter first-person view mode. This can be very helpful when
you are trying to shoot Liquid or the gas barrels.
Information in this section was contributed by Jacob Ryder.
Glitch: Guard already beaten:
Go to the lower left corner of the cell where the DARPA
chief (Decoy Octopus) died. Press Left and hold Triangle.
During what sounds like the guard getting beaten by Meryl, you
will see Meryl just standing their with the guard already stunned.
Information in this section was contributed by Brian D.
Glitch: Still alive:
After the torture, if you do not submit and just die,
press Select after time runs out and you will see Snake
strain -- still alive. The game will end abruptly without Liquid
Snake saying "Ocelot! You did it again!".

that Revolver has placed a hidden bomb in the box, so throw it
away.
