If you put someone to sleep with the dart gun and want to wake them up quicker, drag them over to a steam pipe. Place their head fairly near the pipe. Then shoot the pipe so the steam hits his head, and he will wake up automatically.

When you see a guard next to a pipe ( which may be hot) shoot where you want the steam to hit your enemy. If the steam hits his leg, he will start to limp. If the steam hits his arm, he will be unable to use his gun or weapon. If the steam hits his radio he will be unable to call for back up.

Hint: Make guards look at the girl on poster:
To watch the guards look at the poster, keep the locker with the poster open. Try to get caught by a guard and he will call in other guards. You have to hide into another locker immediately, or you will get caught. When the guards proceed to raid the locker room they will notice the poster and an exclamation mark will appear. This gives you time to escape. Note: This works on all difficulty settings except for very hard.

Hint: Codec view:
When in the codec screen, you can use the Analog-sticks to control the camera on Snake and whoever he is talking to (Otacon in the demo). The Right Analog-stick controls Snake's view, and the Left Analog-stick is for the other person.

Hint: Shoot the tarp before Olga:
When fighting Olga, she will eventually shoot the tarp and you will have trouble shooting at her. You can prevent this by shooting the two front strings that connect the tarp to the ground. The shot does not have to be that accurate. You can also shoot the light out to the left of the tarp to reduce glare and get a better shot.
JHarvey.

Hint: Defeating Olga:
Use the M9 on Olga and her life shortens after being shot. This will leave her with about half her life. Note: This only works on the very easy difficulty setting.
Idaghetto1I.

Hint: Shooting grenades:
It is possible to shoot the hand grenades away from you. Go into first person mode and aim quickly directly at the grenade. If done quickly it will be shot away from you and explode at a safe distance. This trick can also be done as the grenade is in mid air, but requires a quick shot. This trick is most effective with the USP.
leviathan.

Hint: Deteriorating boxes:
Once acquiring the Dry Cardboard Box, take it outside into the rain. After a short while the box will begin to look like the Wet Cardboard Box. If you wait outside in the rain long enough with either the Wet Box or the Dry Box equipped, they will begin to deteriorate.

Hint: Pull-ups:
While hanging from rails, press L2 and R2 to do pull ups. After doing your 100th pull up, Octacon will call and congratulate you. He also will say that your grip mater will now drain slower. Be sure to take some rest while doing your pull ups

Hint: Make locker doors fall:
Open any of the locker doors. Then, do your punch and kick combo in the opposite direction that the door opened. The door will start to move in place and then it will fall. Watch out because it may fall on you.

Hint: Shut lockers quickly:
If you open the lockers in the locker room, you can close them quickly by just leaning on them.

Hint: Poster sounds:
Go to the top left locker in the locker room, open it, and equip a weapon. Knock on the bra part of the bikini while your weapon is equipped to make an odd springy noise. Duck and knock, or unequip your weapon and knock, to hit the panty part of the bikini. This alerts the guards. They attempt to clear out the room, but if the lower right locker is open, they will stare at the picture of the girl for a few seconds and then leave.

In the room with the lockers, the locker in the upper left corner of the room has a poster with a girl in a bikini on the inside of the door.

Hint: Shoot the camera lens:
You can shoot the camera lens if you are accurate enough. If you are successful, the green light will disappear and the camera will cease to function. Try this with the m9 for better results.
