Begin the Virtuous Mission - Get to the Elevator
Welcome to the original stealth classic! Whether you are diving in on an original console or as part of the Master Collection, this guide has you covered. After the initial cutscene, you'll gain control of the Snake and stand on some steps. Go directly behind you into the water and pick up a ration. Use the radar to keep track of the guards and make your way to the upper right corner of the room. Be sure not to run through the puddles of water; the sound will attract guards. You can hide near the back of the forklift to stay out of sight. After the cutscene plays, two guards will exit the elevator, and you should be able to slip inside unnoticed.
Sneak Into the Heliport Base
After another cutscene and brief tutorial, Snake will be given three possible entrances to begin his rescue mission. You will start by standing in front of a large metal crate. Enter the large fenced-in area directly in front of you with the two big spotlights. Head left and hug the wall to avoid them. Carefully time running between them to grab the Chaff Grenades, which will help you disable cameras.
You can hug the wall to avoid the lights, but it will fit tight. If you trigger the alarm, take out the two guards to reset it. If you go to the left of the spotlight enclosure, you'll find a side room guarded by a security camera. Use your newly acquired chaff grenades to disable the camera. Run inside to grab some stun grenades. Directly to the right of the spotlight area, you'll see two metal crates. If you haven't removed the guards, they will notice your footprints in the snow. You can also find a ration in the snow, but you might not need it if you have been playing stealthily.
Get the SOCOM Pistol Early
After leaving the security room, head north past the camera. Be careful of the guard patrolling and head towards a cargo truck. If you crouch behind a crate covered by a tarp in the back of the truck, you'll find the SOCOM PISTOL EARLY. To the right of the car, there is a metal staircase. Slowly walk up the stairs, and avoid or disable the camera. Slowly follow the guard and use the indents in the walls to hide. Optionally, you can wait for the guard to re-trace his steps and take him out. Crawl through the vents until you the upper floor. Grab the ration before proceeding out of the vents and onto a ladder.
Rescue the DARPA Chief from the Tank Hanger
Going down the ladder will lead you into the Tank Hanger. Head Left to grab the Chaff Grenades. Usually, you'd be able to wall hug past the camera, but its awkward angle makes it difficult, so use your grenades. Head to a side room with another camera and grab the Thermal Goggles. Head downstairs and use the tanks for cover. Keep an eye on your radar and get to the elevator.
Head to the B2 Basement. You can still go to the first-floor basement, but it will be useless since you don't have the card key. Head up the ladder into the vents. Go left to grab some SOCOM AMMO and then turn around. Keep going until you find the vent with the Cheif's cell, and drop down.
