This page is a list of glitches currently known in Metal Gear Solid 2: =====Speedrun Relevant===== The following is a list of glitches that are currently useful for the speedrun itself. [[MGS2 Emma Zip]] [[MGS2 Ladder Glitch]] [[https://youtu.be/7gKSDDSRb58|MGS2 Prez Parkour]] + [[https://youtu.be/7gKSDDSRb58|PP Zip]] [[MGS2 SOL Elevator Glitch]] [[MGS2 Swim Glitch]] [[MGS2 Tengu 1 Skip]] [[MGS2 Tengu 2 Skips]] [[MGS2 MC Cutscene Glitch]] =====All Glitches===== The following is a list of all known (by the community) glitches in the game that do not necessarily have a usecase in the speedrun. ====Camera/Scope/Box into Ladder/Railing Glitches==== The following are a list of know out of bounds glitches that involve equipping a camera/scope prior to entering the animation for hanging onto a railing or ladder: * [[https://youtu.be/y6cZCwj2XRQ | Hold No.1]], please refer to [[MGS2 Ladder Glitch | Ladder Glitch]] for more information on this. * [[https://youtu.be/dugYZn0EqkQ | Navigational Dock]] found by magnum66 * [[https://youtu.be/xnxrbsp_7mE | Strut A Deep Sea Swim Glitch]] found by magnum66 and TheThrillness ====Door Glitches==== It was first found by KikujiroChan. Door Glitches allows for Raiden to hit the load trigger behind a locked door. In most cases, this leads to a softlock as the game can't open the door on the other side after the load transition. Currently, this is only useful for Tengu 1 (and Bomb Disposal 05 in VR Missions). Refer to [[MGS2 Tengu 1 Skip | Tengu 1 Skip]] for more information on this. Here are the steps on how to perform this: - Press against a locked door (with a load trigger behind it). - Go into First Person View and let go of door. - Perform a punch-punch-kick combo while still in FPV. - When Raiden begins kicking, let go of FPV. Door Glitch can also be done with the HF. Blade * [[https://youtu.be/zDtU7ktEG1o | Strut D Sediment Pool]] found by KikujiroChan * Strut E Parcel Room, 1F found by KikujiroChan * [[https://youtu.be/Pgs9LoLZlJg | Strut E Parcel Room, 2F]] found by KikujiroChan * [[https://youtu.be/4m-fmq7DgZo | Strut F Warehouse]] found by KikujiroChan * [[https://youtu.be/gOhFgLJw3XA | Arsenal Gear-Ileum]] found by KikujiroChan * Raiden Bomb Disposal 05 found by Stealth_Edge * [[https://youtu.be/7rPHoCdP-ro?t=79 | Using the HF. Blade]] found by PurpleStuffedWorm === Prozac Skip === An alternative Door glitch that can be performed with either Snake or Raiden. Based on extending your hitbox\\ after throwing an object like a magazine or grenade, you can turn into a closed door to touch the load zone behind it.\\ This trick finds particular use in any% runs where we play in the Tanker chapter, after having beaten Olga and going into\\ the engine room to move on. With this trick we can enter the engine room from the left door and skip having to walk through\\ the entire engine room. {{youtube>MSQnL8tBy2A?}} ====Elevator Out Of Bounds==== It was first found by KikujiroChan. This glitch is exclusive to //Sons of Liberty// and was patched out of //Substance// and the //HD Edition//. It allows for Raiden to fall out of bounds. Refer to [[MGS2 SOL Elevator Glitch | Elevator Glitch]] for more information on this. Here are the steps on how to perform this: - Go next to the elevator button from the outside. - Crouch and press the elevator button. * Shell 1 Core, 1F * Shell 1 Core, B1 * Shell 1 Core, B2 Computer Room * Shell 2 Core, 1F * [[https://youtu.be/v8Mat6qae9U | Shell 2 Core, B1]] found by KikujiroChan ====Phone Glitch==== Originally discovered by magnum66, here are the steps on how to perform it: - Go near an area that causes the phone to ring, such as fire or the bugs in Shell 2 Core B1 with Emma. - Equip the phone and hold select to bring up the codec. - Tap select to leave the codec and then hold select again to bring it back up. **Note:** On the PC port of Substance, this can cause the game to crash. To avoid this, spam the pause button in between entering and exit the final set of codecs. * [[https://www.twitch.tv/exisidis2/clip/SilkyCrunchyScallionRickroll?filter=clips&range=all&sort=time | Calling the Colonel]] found by magnum66 * [[https://www.twitch.tv/exisidis2/clip/PluckyObeseCobblerMingLee?filter=clips&range=all&sort=time | Demonstration of Glitch]] found by magnum66 * [[https://www.twitch.tv/exisidis2/clip/WealthyGlamorousOstrichShadyLulu?filter=clips&range=all&sort=time | Glitchy Interface]] found by magnum66 * [[https://www.twitch.tv/exisidis2/clip/AthleticCalmKaleNotATK?filter=clips&range=all&sort=time | Partially-Invisible Start Menu]] found by magnum66 * [[https://www.twitch.tv/exisidis2/clip/AgreeableAcceptableCardBrainSlug?filter=clips&range=all&sort=time | Using menus in the Codec]] found by magnum66 ====Crawlspace/Vent Out Of Bounds==== ===Wall Clip via Weapon Shuffle=== This variant was first found by the MGS2 VR runner [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voyZyT6M2A0 |131913055]]. It applies to many areas in the game where you alternate between two weapons (for Raiden, it needs to be two throw-able weapons like grenades, magazines, etc.) and move in the opposite direction of a vent. * [[https://youtu.be/LZDJlH4lpmM?t=186 | Deck-A, crew's lounge]] found by ??? * [[https://youtu.be/LZDJlH4lpmM | Deck-C, crew's quarters, port]] found by ??? * [[https://youtu.be/10UeNBucUVI | Hold No.1]] found by ??? * [[https://youtu.be/BSisWfw1-go | Hold No.2, Left Side]] found by ??? * [[https://youtu.be/NymFhrP77AM | Hold No.2, Right Side]] found by ??? * [[https://youtu.be/_NX_4D6mEg0 | Hold No.2, Right Side modified]] found by Kent * [[https://youtu.be/_-Lt_7O5OzY | Hold No.3]] found by ??? * Strut E Parcel Room, 1F (Conveyor Belt) * [[https://youtu.be/WMHMtLXD4NA | Strut F warehouse]] found by ??? * [[https://youtu.be/JUspLvkZRtE | Shell 1 Core B1 Out Of Bounds]] found by magnum66 ===Upclip via D.Mic/Coolant Rise=== This variant was found by MarlonH8, as an extension of what made the [[https://youtu.be/My5naXwK0tA|Prez Parkour]] skip possible. It allows for wall and floor clips on //every single vent or crawlspace in the game//. Set your Coolant/D.Mic as your Quick Equip, then crawl into a vent or below an object and start crawling towards its exit. Before fully exiting it, keep mashing the R2 and X Buttons to trigger an Upclip. You need perfectly timed inputs and you need to hit a very precise "trigger zone". As this zone can easily be missed by moving past it, slower exits provide a better chance of successfully clipping up. You can turn left/right by just below 90° before fully exiting a vent/crawlspace to crawl out of it even more slowly. Putting Turbo/Auto-fire on R2 & X helps tremendously, but isn't strictly necessary. {{youtube>My5naXwK0tA?}} * 12, 21, 45 & 59 are confirmed Speedrun-relevant options. ====Miscellaneous=== * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mi0N4D5pEVo | Freeze Glitch found by AzulBlitz. go into first person, while prone and you look up and throw a mag and stand up, snake will freeze in place]] * [[https://youtu.be/yWv-ri3EVfo | Assault Team unit spawn without an Alert/Evasion/Caution (Sons of Liberty NTSC-U only)]] found by Waffle Corpse Productions * [[https://youtu.be/nYqkAPEA_uk | Assault Team unit spawn without an Alert/Evasion/Caution (Sons of Liberty NTSC-U only)]] replicated by PlatonicGuy * [[https://youtu.be/NtdDulE8cRM | Buffered Item/Weapon Menu Glitch]] found by MarlonH8 - Weapon Menu steps: Wall shuffle while holding L2+R2, get hit, let go of L2, press L2 * [[https://youtu.be/a3uL79zIvkY | Conveyor Belt Glitch]] found by magnum66 * [[https://youtu.be/qegBrENfhSE | D-Mic to Ames]] found by Stealth_Edge * [[https://youtu.be/duG5StSdMBc | Damage Cancel Mines]] found by ??? * [[https://youtu.be/liIrIOc9r1M?t=34 | Damage Cancel with R2/L2]] found by ??? * [[https://youtu.be/hfA6uY0s-PI?t=14 | Dav Drop]] found by davWILDSTAR-TBM * [[https://youtu.be/RDkDbsJwekE | Dav Drop (FPV)]] found by MarlonH8 * [[https://youtu.be/10xdLHjx6Og | Deck-B Guard Clips]] found by MarlonH8 * [[https://youtu.be/fTJ45R85-74 | Deck-D Out Of Bounds]] found by PlatonicGuy * [[https://youtu.be/Y5ruSSNL-9g | Emma Out Of Bounds in Shell 2 Core, B2]] found by magnum66 * [[https://youtu.be/3Sv_P5_M2Bc | Emma Throw Cancel]] found by PlatonicGuy * [[https://youtu.be/yBiKIGMQPjg | Emma Damage-less Death]] found by PlatonicGuy * [[https://clips.twitch.tv/RelievedDifferentDogeGOWSkull-z9rpiwlIOXmIaCMR | Emma Zip]] found by Misschelseaz * [[https://www.twitch.tv/exisidis2/clip/AliveOddWombatItsBoshyTime?filter=clips&range=all&sort=time | First Person View Glitch via Coolant]] found by ??? * [[https://youtu.be/LHbvxnNf5DI | Forced FPV/Invisibility Glitch via any FPV-locking Item/Weapon]] found by MarlonH8 * [[https://www.twitch.tv/videos/44777178 | Fortune Out Of Bounds]] found by Drixq * [[https://youtu.be/3PJKbn-zjSw?t=78 | God Mode Exploit 0.5]] found by J-N * [[https://youtu.be/GHOGsXlkNjg | Item Deletion (MGS2 Substance PC) for BDU]] found by Hau5test - recreated by PlatonicGuy for Body Armor, Door Card, the NONE slot * [[https://youtu.be/rIdZNhgo86o | Ledge Glitch]] found by magnum66 and TheThrillness * [[https://youtu.be/42QMZmnLl3c | Locker Guard Clip]] found by magnum66 * [[https://www.twitch.tv/exisidis2/clip/DiligentHappyAxeBrainSlug?filter=clips&range=all&sort=time | Locker Guard Clip]] found by magnum66 * [[https://youtu.be/zr8O2-LWHtU | Node Out Of Bounds]] found by magnum66 * [[https://youtu.be/HfmjIzjov78 | Perimeter Out Of Bounds]] found by Adnan Kauser * [[https://youtu.be/nmDfuRX5ByE | Perimeter Out Of Bounds]] found by magnum66 * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzK9bGsi8YA | Shell 1-2 Connection Bridge Codec Skip]] found by Hau5test * [[https://youtu.be/temVrQ1kg98 | Shell 2 Core 1F Electrified Floor Skip/Permanent Deactivation]] found by MarlonH8 * [[https://youtu.be/3ra0t15f79M | Silent Shot]] found by ??? * [[https://youtu.be/MxIN7c-cMYY | Socom Stepover]] found by ??? - also works with USP * Stair Glide found by ApacheSmash * [[https://youtu.be/neiWsl3ClSk | Strut A Deep Sea Dock elevator softlock]] found by Apel * [[https://youtu.be/BbIOsI7DfzA | Strut A Roof out of bounds]] found by Ddoser Fox (?) * [[https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm10576391 | Strut A Roof Elevator Softlock]] found by Nac (?) * [[https://youtu.be/L0on-bXHcus?t=167 | Strut B Out Of Bounds.
