Spirit Camo

Camouflage How to Get and Effect

Spirit
How to Get: Defeat The Sorrow.
Effect: Eliminates footstep noise. Also allows wearer to drain stamina by choking enemies in CQC.

If you're a fast-moving stealth player, the Spirit Camo can compensate for that, as it eliminates footstep noise. It can also help you get closer to enemies for CQC and hold ups, making it a highly recommended stealth camo. You can get the Spirit Camo by reaching the end of The Sorrow boss fight.

Sneaking Suit, Battle Dress (PW ver.), AUSCAM

Camouflage How to Get and Effect

Sneaking Suit
How to Get: Obtained from the same locker where you stuffed Raikov in Groznyj Grad Weapons Lab: East Wing 2F. Only spawns in if you revisit the location after getting tortured.
Effect: Cuts all damage in half and reduces stamina consumption.

Battle Dress (PW ver.) (DLC)
How to Get: Purchase the Digital Deluxe Edition.
Effect: Greatly reduces all damage taken and boosts natural LIFE recovery rate but decreases movement speed.

AUSCAM
How to Get: Choose I like MGS 1 when starting a new game. Also unlocked after finishing the game once.
Effect: Wearing it reduces incoming damage to 2/3.

If you chose the MGS1 option at the start of the game, AUSCAM is the best camo for boss fights due to its damage-reducing properties. However, if you have the Digital Deluxe edition, the Battle Dress (PW ver.) is a superior option, since it allows you to pick a different bonus camo.

Later on, both can be replaced by the Sneaking Suit as it cuts damage to half and minimizes stamina loss. Camos that reduce damage are helpful for achieving the FOX and FOXHOUND ranks, which have a low damage requirement.

Grenade Camo

Grenade
How to Get: Choose I like everything in the MGS series when starting a new game. Also unlocked after finishing the game once.
Effect: Wearing it allows you to use grenades limitlessly.

The Grenade Camo allows you to use grenades infinitely. This is a good alternative when you run out of ammo for your guns during boss fights. To get the Grenade Camo, choose the answer “I like everything in the MGS series!” when starting a new game.

Cold War Camo

Camouflage How to Get and Effect

Cold War
How to Get: Defeat Volgin non-lethally.
Effect: Enemies from the Soviet side will hesitate to attack.

The Cold War Camo prevents enemy soldiers from shooting you from the front. This is especially useful during the motorcycle sequence near the end of the story, as many soldiers will be chasing you. Note that the Cold War Camo only works on normal enemy soldiers, not bosses. You can obtain it by defeating Volgin non-lethally.

How to Get Cold War Camo

Camouflage How to Get and Effect

Gold (DLC)
How to Get: Purchase the Digital Deluxe Edition.
Effect: Significantly lowers the Camo Index while boosting movement speed.

Maintenance Uniform

Camouflage How to Get and Effect

Maintenance
How to Get: Looted from one of the lockers in the Groznyj Grad Weapons Lab: East Wing 2F. Only spawns in if you revisit the location after getting tortured.
Effect: No CQC.

Enemy soldiers wont notice you if you wear the Maintenance Uniform in Groznyj Grad Weapons Lab: East Wing. However, fellow maintenance crew can tell you're in a disguise so still try to avoid them. Wearing the Maintenance Uniform will make it much easier to install the C3.

The Maintenance Uniform only spawns after the torture sequence in Groznyj Grad. Head back to the 2nd floor of Groznyj Grad Weapons Lab: East Wing and it will be inside one of the lockers.

How to Get Maintenance Uniform
