Learn how to effectively use Chaff Grenades in Metal Gear! Discover their jamming power against cameras, guns, and even the Cyborg Ninja.
Alright, let's talk about the Chaff Grenade. This is seriously your best friend when you want to get through areas without causing a huge fuss, and honestly, there aren't many non-lethal options in Metal Gear, so this one really shines. Using it is super simple: just hit the attack button to pull the pin, and then let go to toss it. Just a heads-up, don't hold onto it for too long – it blows up after about five seconds, and trust me, you don't want Snake to be anywhere near that blast!
When this thing detonates, it unleashes a cloud of electronic jammers. These are awesome because they mess with pretty much anything electronic. Think security cameras, those annoying wall-mounted guns, and yeah, even your own Soliton Radar. Seriously, always keep a few of these on hand; they're lifesavers.
Here's a cool little trick: these chaffs are also great for distracting the Cyborg Ninja during your big fight with him. If he's giving you too much trouble, toss a chaff grenade to throw him off balance, and then you can really go to town on him.
