If an enemy sees you, run to a room where the screen blackens and prints the area's name on the screen. For some reason, the game will not sound an alarm. Useful for the tanker, or any other small areas where the maps get reloaded a lot.Hint: Run On Stairs (VR Mode)
When you are using Ninja, you can do a vertical slash then hold the Right Analog stick off center to keep the sword up and out. While the Ninja looks dumb running around like this, he will run (instead of sneak) up stairs.Unlock Stuff With Document Save
If you have a save from Document of Metal Gear Solid 2 on your memory card, more goodies will be unlocked for Substance right off the bat.Hint: Bugs in Rations
In some portions of the game you'll see little sea mites on the floor. If you have to crawl through the mites they'll sometimes get on your character, and start eating your rations. If you leave them there long enough you'll lose rations--to get rid of them, open your item select menu and quickly cycle through it, going back and forth past the rations. The sea mite will be "shaken" off, saving your food.
