Pupa is one of the second flavor of boss in this game: the AI Weapon. AI Weapon battles have no stealth element; they always know where you are. Since camouflage is not a consideration in this mission, you may as well go '''Naked''' to maximize your speed, weapon damage, and Heroism yield. An aggressive loadout would consist of the '''RPG-2''' and the '''LAW''' as your two Primary Weapons, with the '''Supply Marker''' as your secondary weapon. A conservative loadout would swap the '''LAW''' for the '''M60''' machine gun. Your top item should be the '''Ration''' while the '''Mate''' should be brought to restore your Psyche, as all AI Weapons have attacks that damage Psyche.

At the beginning of the battle, Pupa will speed up and travel along the curved walls. It will move to fast for rocket launchers at this time, so focus on preparation. On the edges of Crater Base are three nooks that open into tunnels. You cannot access the tunnels, but the nooks are good places to retreat to when you need to reload, heal, or call in a resupply. You will start just outside one of these nooks. Run in while Pupa starts moving around the curved wall. Immediately equip the '''Supply Marker''' and hold down {{control|{{psp|l1}}|{{psx|l1}}|{{xbox|LT}}}} and press {{control|{{psp|r1}}|{{psx|r1}}|{{xbox|RT}}}} to place the Marker at your feet. Do so at a place within the nook, but at some distance from the walls. While the Supply Marker is equipped, press {{control|{{psp|r1}}|{{psx|r1}}|{{xbox|RT}}}} again to confirm the supply drop at the location of the marker. Go ahead and do it now, but don't pick up anything yet.

With the Pupa destroyed, the scientist - Dr. Huey Emmerich - will reveal and introduce himself. He will join MSF as S-Ranked R&D staff. Putting him in the R&D team will trigger the '''Metal Gear''' option to be unlocked when you complete the next mission.
