==Active Sonar==
==Active Sonar==
A special radar that sends out a sonar ping to detect local wildlife. Press L3 to send out a sonar ping. Be warned though - each ping takes a small portion of your batteries, and the noise it makes may alarm nearby guards. It wards off attacking vampire bats.

The Anti-Personnel Sensor, like the AP Sensor from MGS2, will beep and cause the controller to vibrate at different strengths depending on proximity to an enemy, and is now far more important due to the Soliton Radar's absence in this game. If you use it in First-Person View, it will only scan the direction you are facing.

sensors, it'll let you ignore animals and focus only on the enemy. It will
even detect enemies that are not moving, and you won't have to worry about it
giving away your position. But, it will not tell you the exact location of the
target either, so be smart when using it. Much like the AP Sensor from MGS2, this will cause the controller to vibrate at different strengths depending on proximity to a guard, and is now far more important due to the Soliton Radar's absence in this game. If you use it in first-person View, it will only scan the direction you are facing.

body's regenerative processes and causes injuries to heal faster. The only way to instantly restore Snake's Life Gauge is to use the rare Life Med syringe. They work just like the Rations from previous MGS games - Hover over the Life Medicine in the L2 menu, and press Circle to heal yourself. Since Stamina Gauge governs Life recovery rate, Life Med is rare, but you can find it in various places throughout the game and can be obtained by shaking down enemies. Save some for The Fury as it is hard to avoid damage in that fight.

==Stealth Camouflage==
An electronic device that renders the user invisible by bending light. Obtained by either beating the game without triggering alert mode or shooting all 64 kerotans in one playthrough. If paired with Spirit Camo enemies won't hear your footsteps making you completely undetectable.


==Thermal Goggles==
==Thermal Goggles==
Thermal goggles work by detecting heat signatures. However, in Metal Gear Solid 3, they can also be used to detect, mines, hidden food, and traps. Although designed for dark areas, they will work just as well in bright areas. The only major downside is that the player will have trouble seeing the terrain, so they may use them on-and-off every now and again. They also rely on battery power to operate.

The thermal goggles are vital against bosses such as The Fear and The End, who both use camouflage along with enemy soldiers while EVA is with you. Make sure that a stun grenade doesn't explode while using the thermal goggles as the image will burn into the screen for a few seconds (the time it takes depends on how far away the grenade explosion is from the player).  
They are very useful against The Fear and The End, who both use camouflage. The enemy soldiers lying in wait when escorting EVA are much easier to see with these equipped. Stun grenades will burn the image into the screen so unequip the goggles before they explode.  


During the Virtuous Mission, they can be found in a hollow log; in the area just prior to Dolinovodno.
