In case you’re something like us, then chances are high you have been replaying Steel Gear Stable 2: Sons of Liberty on and off for practically 25 years. But regardless of this, evidently new issues are nonetheless being found in Hideo Kojima’s 2001 stealth masterpiece.
Take these pesky guards, for example. MGS2 affords up a smorgasbord of choices to keep away from or take out your enemies, together with tranquilising them within the gonads, distracting them with noise, or straight up somersaulting into them. One participant has came upon, nevertheless, that if you happen to’re notably decided to finish a non-lethal run of the sport, you’ll be able to recruit a number of seagulls to ship your foes packing (thanks, Automaton).
Effectively, we are saying “recruit”… you may see what we imply:
Sure, as highlighted by BadHumans on social media, if you happen to’re in a position to line up your shot simply proper, you’ll be able to tranquilise a seagull in order that its limp physique comes crashing down on high of a guard, thus taking out two birds with one, uh, tranq dart.
It does not seem to be the seagulls “comply with” the guards (through which case, we in all probability would have found this loads sooner), however somewhat you’d have to both be taught their flight patterns and patiently wait till their paths cross with the guards under, otherwise you merely depart it within the arms of luck.
It is troublesome to think about that nobody had stumbled throughout this within the a long time since MGS2’s PS2 launch, nevertheless it’s actually the primary time we have seen it in motion. If you wish to strive it out your self, then you’ll be able to with the HD re-release on the Change eShop. Launched towards the tip of 2023, we awarded it a rating of seven/10, praising the story and gameplay, however criticising the diminished body charge and fiddly mechanics.
