Gameplay [edit]

Snake and an MSF soldier conducting a Co-Ops mission. The paradigm has Snake in Naked uniform hiding from a Peace Sentinels soldier, armed with an M60 GPMG. The player's partner is barely seen hiding on the other side of the truck.

Peace Walker consists of two primary gameplay modes: "Mission" and "Mother Base of operations".

Some Main Ops missions include illustrated cutscenes that involve bits of interactivity in order to go on. Extra Ops are optional missions that involve much more elaborate goals ranging from simple target practices to obtaining secret documents.

The Wi-Fi recruitment system from Portable Ops has been modified so that instead of tapping the Circumvolve button to obtain a strong enough indicate from an access point, the player will have to knock out soldiers using CQC to accept them. The cardboard box used to hide from enemy soldiers is at present available in two-human versions chosen Honey Boxes, which have different variants. The Surround Indicator in Portable Ops can also be used only when it is equipped in the particular box and players will as well develop and use an early version of the Soliton radar organization from the original Metal Gear Solid.

Before starting a mission, the player tin choose a character, forth with their weapon loadout, which is determined by the wardrobe chosen. Players can choose to command Serpent or any MSF soldier assigned to the combat unit of measurement, with male and female members both available to cull from. Each soldier has their own combat stats, which measures a soldier's offensive and defensive capabilities. Some of the main missions will only be available to Serpent, and likewise for MSF soldiers and certain extra ops. The player's carrying capacity is express and any excessive items that the actor obtains during a mission will be transferred over to Mother Base's inventory. In that location are four chief types of uniforms that can be worn past the actor character.

• Jungle Fatigues – The default uniform. A balance of stealth, defense, weapons, and inventory. Alternate versions of this outfit with different colors and camo patterns can be obtained throughout various missions

• Sneaking Suit – Resembling the sneaking conform worn by Solid Ophidian in previous Metal Gear Solid games, it allows players to motility without generating foot noise and have college camouflage compared to other suits while moving, but restricts them to v items and six secondary weapons. The blueprint of the Sneaking Accommodate worn past MSF soldiers differs slightly from Snake'south version.
• Battle Clothes – A heavily armored adapt that allows the histrion to carry a third main weapon and blot heavy firepower, but at the cost of a lower particular conveying capacity, slower mobility and a lower cover-up alphabetize. A variant outfitted with a metal headband for Serpent, or a helmet for MSF Soldiers, is also available, which increases the defenses.

Other outfits are likewise available, such equally t-shirts in various designs, swimsuits, a tuxedo and outfits inspired by the wardrobe of supporting characters.

The player can capture military vehicles that appear in the game every bit small-scale dominate opponents, such as armored personnel carriers, tanks, and assail helicopters. Upward to 350 soldiers can exist recruited; backlog staff caught in a mission must be discharged and upwards to 50 vehicles can be captured over the course of the game.

Items and weapons are non procured on-site, just rather they're adult by MSF'due south research and development partitioning based on blueprints obtained from missions. New items and weapons tin only be adult when the player has sufficient GMP (Gross Military Production, the player'due south currency) and sure MSF divisions have reached the required level. In one case development of an item has been completed, the R&D staff will automatically mass-produce them for the entire army.

The latter style has gameplay relevance, beingness host to quick-time events that have differing effects on the consequence of missions, ranging from contribution to mission rankings, recruitment of personnel, determining mission success, and affecting the outcome of a subsequent mission. The 3D-rendered cutscenes are available with either text-but narration, or with the inclusion of voice interim—the latter requires the decompression and installation of audio data to the PSP storage media, to allow simultaneous audio playback and game rendering without real-fourth dimension decompression overhead; this feature too permits voiced radio calls during missions. 2d cutscenes are bachelor with full sound support without installation to media.
