Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is a remix of the original Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, and it comes with the same number of weapons, and they are found in the same locations as well. However, this time around, the weapons do not contribute to any achievement or trophy, so you will be collecting them for your own use and not for achievement or trophy hunting. Our Metal Gear Solid Delta Weapons Guide details how you can acquire all weapons in the game easily.
Weapons Guide – Metal Gear Solid Delta
Before we begin with the guide, you should know that not all weapons in the game can be acquired later for the same playthrough. Since the game does not come with any sort of mission select, you only have that particular playthrough if you want to acquire a specific weapon for that playthrough. This also makes each weapon in the game highly missable unless you have a save file closer to its location. Each location has some weapons to find, and once you acquire them, they will remain in your inventory. Let’s look at the weapons in the game and how you can acquire them. They are sorted according to the sequence in which they appear in the main story of the game.
