Unlock rare recruits and multiple Stealth Camo items in Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops by mastering the AP scanner and online battles. Learn enemy dazing tactics.

The AP scanner in Portable Ops identifies access points by their wireless MAC addresses. Routers have a MAC address clone option that allows you to change the wireless MAC address to anything you want. A standard MAC address has six pairs of numbers (in hexadecimal, so digits 0-9 and A-F are valid); just cycling the first pair from 00 to FF will give you 256 recruits. This is a great way to get rare characters if you live in places where APs are scarce.

Getting More Than One Stealth Camo [TIP18]

To be able to get more than one stealth camo, you will need to be able to go online. When online, there is a match that if you win against the opponent, you get that soldier. Now, if that soldier has stealth camo on them and you win, you will get the stealth.

Make The Enemy Dazed [TIP19]

To do this, you have to shoot the blue exclamation mark or question mark when an enemy notices something. This can be tricky since the marks only appear for a second or two and then go away.

An easy way to do this is to have the GA-KO doll and if you want stealth camo. Use the GA-KO doll and put it in the direction of the enemy but not too close. When the doll starts walking, equip a gun and aim it at the guard's head. Once the doll reaches the guard, it'll spark an exclamation mark on his head. Since you already have the gun aimed at their head, you should be able to shoot the mark with ease. You'll see the guard in a daze and kind of acting like he's drunk. It'll only last for a little while, but it's long enough for you to lay the smack down on them.

Getting More SVDs [TIP20]

To get more SVDs, you can go into the Airport and shoot one of the guards. Don't kill him, just make him notice it, and then he'll call for backup. The backup will be carrying the SVDs. Knock them out and recruit them to get the snipers.
