Stealth Camouflage
From the Metal Gear Wiki
Stealth Camouflage
An electronic device capable of rendering the user "invisible", available in some games of the Metal Gear series, as an unlockable item. In all incarnations, when equipped, the space that user takes up looks to be distorted, allowing the outline, but not the user, visible. Equipments that are used are also visible (i.e. weapons).Although no one can see the person when activated the only weakness is that people can see you if they are equipped with thermal goggles.

[edit] Metal Gear Solid/The Twin Snakes
The stealth camouflage can be unlocked by giving into Ocelot's torture and clearing the game. Otacon will give the stealth camouflage. The same scene, if the torture is endured, is replaced by Meryl giving Snake the infinite ammo bandanna. Otacon uses the stealth camouflage though most of the game to avoid detection from the Genome Soldiers and mentions having made five of them. The other four are used by an unknown group of soldiers to keep an elevator in place during Snake's fight against Liquid's Hind D and later ambush Snake in the style of the Four Horsemen in the same elevator. Grey Fox also appears to have a built-in version of the stealth camouflage in his exo-skeleton.
[edit] Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty/Substance
The stealth camouflage is available to both Snake and Raiden as unlockable items. See Dogtags. In the opening of the Tanker chapter Snake uses stealth camouflage to infiltrate the U.S.S.Discovery but it breaks on landing impact from his jump onto the deck from a bridge.
[edit] Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater/Subsistence
In MGS3, the stealth camouflage can be unlocked for Naked Snake through two different ways:
- Beating the game with no alerts triggered.
- Shooting all the Kerotans in one save file.
Furthermore, the stealth camouflage in MGS3, Guards can still hear Naked Snake's footsteps, and if an alert is triggered, will be attacked regardless of stealth camouflage. A helpful way to get around this is, at the end of the game, use The Sorrow's Spirit camo to muffle your steps. Also, seeing as face paint has no use with this on, and only camouflages with special effects have any advantage over others, a good paint to use is the Infinity paint, obtained after catching the Tsuchinoko and keeping it until the end of the game.
[edit] Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops
In MPO, the stealth camouflage can be unlocked by attaining a tech level of 99. One account can only create one stealth camouflage, but more can be acquired via Wi-Fi.
The stealth camouflage in MPO is battery powered, and is also susceptible to footstep sounds and attack during an alert.
