Unarmed Combat
You can do quite a lot of damage without weapons. You can choke enemies to knock them out, snap their necks, or just beat them up if you need to make a quick getaway.
- (repeatedly): Snake unleashes a three-hit combo. Raiden unleashes a four-hit combo.
- (repeatedly, while standing still): Grabs a nearby enemy and eventually snaps their neck.
- (once, while running): Grabs and throws an enemy. Useful for quick getaways, or throwing people over ledges.
- (hold): Grabs an enemy so you can drag them away. If the enemy is dead or unconscious, this will grab their body to drag around. Grabbing and dropping a body repeatedly may cause it to drop ammo and supplies, but doing this too often to knocked-out enemies will cause them to wake up.
