Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is a great remake, but you may find it a bit short. The original game was released on the PS2 after all, an era where linear single-player games were generally much shorter than they are today.
However, don't be mad, because there are many things to do after you beat the game. From collectibles to game-changing gear to secret cutscenes to bonus modes and even to the highest rank possible, you can get a lot of mileage out of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater after the credits roll. One of the things can take you over two weeks in real time to do. Find All Frogs And Rubber Ducks You'll Need Snake Eyes To Find These Scattered throughout every single area of the game are collectible Kerotan frogs and Ga-Ko ducks. Kerotans return from the original game, while Ga-Ko ducks are brand new to this remake. The Ga-Ko ducks, in particular, are much harder to find, as they are camouflaged into the environment. It's best to use a guide here. However, Konami did make it easier for the player by tracking which collectibles you've shot in a certain area on the pause menu. Once a certain collectible is shot, it's always tracked, so don't worry about losing collectible progress, at least for the frogs and ducks. Veteran players might remember how much of a pain it was to shoot the frogs during the motorcycle sections, but they are thankfully a bit easier to shoot this time around. The rewards for shooting all the frogs and ducks are well worth the trouble. Find All Animals Catching The Mystical Serpent Is Harder Than It Seems Since Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater takes place in the harsh jungles of Russia, there are many animals out in the wild. You can find and eat them all for 100% completion, including not only animals but also generic foods, such as noodles. Keep in mind you'll have to not only find them, but eat them, too, which wasn't a 100% completion requirement in the original game. One food item variant is even newly required for this remake, plus there's the mythical Tsuchinoko. Known only in legend, very few have caught this awesome creature and survived to tell the tale. In actuality, it's not too hard to collect, but it is tricky, requiring some retries to catch it with Mousetraps. If you manage to grab the Tsuchinoko, make sure to get it back after your inventory is stripped in the torture room section. Finishing the game with a Tsuchinoko in hand nets you what's probably the best face paint in the game. Plus, you'll need it anyway due to the next 100% requirement. Get All Camos And Face Paints Call Of Duty Isn't The Only Game With A Camo Grind Throughout Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, you can find various camos and face paints on your journey. Some of them are quite well-hidden, including being placed in a locked bathroom stall or requiring some unusual backtracking to a previous area. However, the best ones come from the bosses. By defeating every boss non-lethally, you can grab exclusive boss camos that are definitely the best in the game. Not only do they provide excellent camo index, but some large buffs, like stopping shaky hands when stamina is low or preventing soldiers from shooting at you when faced head-on. What makes these camos a must-get is New Game Plus. A huge difference from the original Kojima game is that you can play on all difficulties within New Game Plus, not just the one you've completed the game with. This makes the camos great when going for the ultimate challenge in Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. Go For Foxhound Rank The Ultimate Test The first four Metal Gear Solid games all had a top ranking you could achieve, often being Big Boss. In MGS Delta, however, that ranking is Foxhound, and it's no joke. A Foxhound rank run demands perfection, playing on Extreme difficulty with no continues, alerts, or kills, and finishing the game in under five hours, among other requirements. Thankfully, it appears that Delta won't be the hardest top-ranking in the series, as Metal Gear Solid 2 is still the most brutal stealth game I've ever platinumed with its savage Big Boss run. However, Delta proves to be both easier and harder than the original regarding Foxhound rank. The save limit is no longer an issue, thanks to autosaving; however, to compensate, the bosses are much more challenging. Most of the cheese strategies from the original have been removed, making you have to fight the bosses legitimately. You'll be loading autosaves a lot for this Foxhound run. Get All Cutscenes For Those Thirsty Folks It may surprise you, but there are a ton of missable cutscenes in Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. Getting all cutscenes is a 100% requirement in a sense, as collecting them all unlocks the Peep Demo Theater, a sizzle reel of edited spicy scenes too hot for the naked eye. In the original game, you could unlock all cutscenes automatically by picking the"I Like MGS3" option at the beginning, but you must find them all legitimately in Delta. This is another element I recommend using a guide for, because finding some of these cutscenes requires stuff that most would never think of doing. What's also important is that, unlike the frogs and rubber ducks, these don't track automatically upon triggering the cutscenes. Make sure to exit the game and go to the Demo Theater to check if it has been unlocked, as loading another save file directly after viewing a cutscene appeared to mess up the unlocking process for me. Obtain Everything In The Secret Theater Some Goofy Bloopers One feature that was absent from the HD and Master Collection but was reintroduced in Delta is the Secret Theater. A collection of gaffes and goofs during the in-game cinematics, these are pretty funny for hardcore Metal Gear fans. These unlock after completing the game, but only the first one is viewable; the rest of the film reels need to be collected. You can get these film reels from various guards in the campaign, with the Secret Theater menu nicely listing all the locations, so it won't be too hard to find them. These are great to collect on a follow-up playthrough, and the movies in question are laugh-out-loud hilarious. Play Snake Vs. Bomberman Or Snake Vs. Monkey A True Monkey Bomb Of A Mode Depending on whether you're playing the Xbox Series X|S or PS5/PC versions of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, you can play one of two modes: Snake vs. Bomberman or Snake vs. Monkey. Both of these modes play differently, but contain the same core levels and objectives. Snake vs. Bomberman is more focused on action, blowing all the characters up, while Snake vs. Monkey is more about catching and finding them all, akin to Ape Escape. These modes are a fun diversion, but won't last long. Thankfully, Konami saved the best mode until after you've beaten the game. Play Guy Savage Delta The Mythical Mode Is Back Another notorious cut feature only in the PS2 versions of MGS3 was the Guy Savage minigame. An odd dream sequence during the torture room portion of the campaign, it was unusual to have this hack-and-slash minigame appear out of nowhere. Metal Gear Solid Delta brings it back better than ever. Developed by PlatinumGames, Guy Savage Delta looks and plays great, packing a lot of fun in a relatively short minigame, lasting less than ten minutes. You can play Guy Savage Delta straight through the main menu, but you can also play it by loading a save file from the torture room cell, highlighted by its red markings on the save file screen. You'll want to play this way because, after clearing the minigame, you'll witness a hidden cutscene, making you closer to unlocking the Peep Demo Theater. Guy Savage Delta has to be the greatest bonus mode playable in Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater.
