DISTRACTING ENEMIES

Learn how to lure guards away in Metal Gear! Discover the wall-tapping trick to make noise and distract enemies, plus how it helps find hidden paths.

Hey there! So, you've probably noticed most guards in Metal Gear stick to their patrol routes, right? It can be a real pain trying to sneak past them. But don't worry, there's a neat trick you can use to get them to come to you instead.

Here's the deal: if you want to lure an enemy over, you just need to make some noise. The easiest way to do this is to walk up close to a wall and tap the action button a couple of times. Snake will tap his hand on the wall, and that sound is usually enough to make a nearby guard curious and come investigate. It's a great way to pull them away from their post so you can slip by unnoticed.

This same trick is also super handy for finding hidden paths. If you tap the action button near a wall and it makes a different sound than usual, you've likely found a hollow spot. Give it a whack, and you might just open up a new route!
