After throwing a stun grenade in close quarters, hide inside the cardboard box to avoid its effect on yourself.
When first starting the game, you will be asked to enter your birthday. When the game is played on that date, there will be a birthday party thrown for you at Mother Base, with a cake and cigars.
Stand near certain safety signs found in Mother Base and a box will fall on your head and knock you down. This only happens once per sign location.
When you die several times in short order, you'll gain the option to equip a special piece of gear called the Chicken Hat. While this is equipped, enemies won't engage with you no matter how obvious you make your presence. Instead, they'll pass out while standing. However, it only works three times in a given mission before disappearing on the fourth use, and you won't be able to rank higher than "A" on that particular run. You can enable or disable the special gear from the Options menu, while the game is paused.
Throw an empty magazine clip at a soldier's head to hear a "ding" sound.
Easy Way To Get The Foxhound Emblem
The requirements for the Foxhound Emblem are to do missions repeatedly with total stealth, and no kills. An easy way to bypass this is to replay Mission 11, CLOAKED IN SILENCE, a couple of times without executing Quiet.
Shoot and down power lines while it is raining to electrocute nearby soldiers.
Mission 04: Quick completion
Go to the Eastern Communications Outpost before starting Mission 04 and disable all of the communication equipment. Mission 04 will immediately end when you start it, and you will hear a secret message on the radio. Note: You will not receive score for this mission by doing this.
Mission 21: Easier completion
Before starting the mission, visit the airport and destroy the camera posts.
Find the a pig head near Eli's chair. Shoot the corpse and it will oink.
Mission 28: Varying candle luminescence
Enter the mansion basement and walk past the candles as Navajo and they get brighter. If Big Boss is near them, they will become dimmer.
