CQC Basics
- Be quick to avoid getting knifed in the ribs
- Cannot be used while holding a gun other than a pistol. Knives and grenades are acceptable.
- Hold R1 to initiate grappling
- Press and hold R1 firmly to choke your opponent and render them unconscious. Releasing R1 will drop them. Continue to press R1 to complete the kill.
- After releasing R1, immediately press forward + R1 to toss an enemy to the ground. Point your gun at this enemy and they will obey your order to "freeze!". This is the preferred method of incapacitating an enemy without killing them as they will remain indefinitely unless hit or an alert sounds.
- While holding R1 to sustain a grab, tap X to crouch down and bring your opponent with you.
- From the crouch position, release R1 and immediately press forward + R1 together to roll the enemy over.
- Release R1 to pull Snake away from the enemy, and immediately point your gun to hold him up on the ground.
- Press and hold R1 firmly to choke the opponent and render them unconscious. Release R1 to release your opponent, or continue to hold the button to kill your opponent.
- Press X while running to perform an evasive dive roll. In addition to a defensive way of escaping enemy fire, this is a good way to launch an offensive attack against multiple enemies.
- Run up next to an enemy while pressing and holding R1 to quickly hip toss your enemy and slam him to the ground, knocking him out instantly.
