Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker/Walkthrough

The game is subdivided into individual missions with their own objectives and challenges, so the walkthrough will also be subdivided into pages detailing how to complete these challenges. Each page will start with a brief contextualization of the mission.
 * The mission objective will be in bold.

Mission Prep
The Mission Prep section will often suggest a very small array of weapons and equipment. Never be afraid to bring something else. If you feel the need to equip the Love Box over pressing against walls with the, or if you prefer the Sneaking Suit when the Tiger Stripe is suggested, those are valid alternatives. Whatever keeps you hidden from the enemy and allows you to complete your mission is what you should bring with you.

Areas of Operation
An in-game mission will be divided into smaller areas and so will the walkthrough pages. Each in-game area will have its own section, headed by a brief contextualization, followed by a map ripped directly from the game. The map will be annotated with dots and lines representing routes and places to stop. Red dots and lines are enemy patrols, with stationary enemies represented by dots with a cone representing the area they are surveying, a general no-go zone during any mission. Enemy soldiers are represented by letters (A, B, C, D...).

Orange lines and dots represent the route prescribed to the player. Dots are annotated by numerals (1, 2, 3, 4...).

Yellow dots represent pickups. White dots represent targets such as prisoners of war whom you should rescue or crates of supplies you should demolish.

Completion
When you achieve a mission's objectives, you will move to the "Completion" phase, during which you may encounter a graphic novel cutscene. Some are interactive, and the walkthrough will explain their objectives.

You will be made aware of what is received by completing missions, such as Design Specs or Battle Cries as well as any Costumes and Versus Ops Maps that will be unlocked.

There will be some brief advice on what to do in Mother Base and where your equipment development should be.

The walkthrough will advise you on any Extra Ops you should complete before moving onto the next mission.
