SNEAK

Learn how to effectively build and utilize your Sneaking Units in Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops. Understand soldier types, skills, and sense (SNS) for optimal team composition and enemy detection.

Each sneaking unit can have up to four members. There are three main features to look for when selecting members for your team; type, skills, and sense (SNS).

Guards will ignore soldiers that are of the same type as themselves. Later stages of the game will have mixed types patrolling the area so you should have suitable soldiers in your unit. If you do something out of character for a patrolling soldier (running around with you gun in position, roll, sneak, hanging etc.) you will lose your cover.

Sense shows how far a soldier can detect the area around him. By pressing the start button a map of the area will be displayed. The circle around the soldier represents the area they can sense. Guards show up as red dots with a smaller dot inside to show which direction they are facing. Soldiers can detect even while within a box so it is helpful to hide your extra soldiers on patrol routes.
