From there just walk into the load zone trigger and move on as usual. Note: You won't have the m1911, the mk.22 and the scientist uniform because you effectively skip the eva cutscene that triggers receiving these items. A Very Easy Example Timing Comparison\\ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jgxu0NJRULA === The Pain Skip === The Pain can also be skipped with the Fake Death Pill as shown by Apel here:\\ {{youtube>EHDpdZbFZMc?}} Comparison side by side timing wise of both methods:\\ {{youtube>qLiiTnCZoEM?}} === Lab + Fear Skip === We can use the camo swap at the first set of stairs (or other sets) in the warehouse during our first visit to go behind the locked door.\\ Full explanation by Jaguar King:\\ * https://www.twitch.tv/jaguar_king/clip/FlirtySavoryBaguetteMoreCowbell-qgaUi5ZoK02BbAei Note that Metsa is swapping between two guns to get a boost on the stairs to save swap animations and not needing too long to get over the wall. {{youtube>l1XWxziAv30?}} While the first successful lab skip was done by MarlonH8, Jaguar King was the first person to slowly unlock the method to reliably make this subarea load properly so we can leave the level:\\ https://www.twitch.tv/jaguar_king/clip/FlirtySavoryBaguetteMoreCowbell-qgaUi5ZoK02BbAei One full execution from entering Warehouse 1 to doing both tricks to leaving the level by Hau5test:\\ {{youtube>h0ypmbsjia4?}} Notes about the sequence:\\ * You can do this skip on PC and console, there's no version difference! * For the stairs going up you want to swap between two guns, this will give you a small boost, * off that small boost you want to begin your camo swaps, around 30 times is enough to skip from the first set of stairs over to the other side of the wall * once you're in the other room, you need to cook a grenade (any grenade type works) or any other throwable item (like a fish) * while walking into the corner for 2-ish seconds, once done, quickly lean against the door, * then you can go up the stairs and the load zone should be active so you can leave the area and effectively skip the lab and the fear boss fight.

As shown here by Mayoness\\ https://www.twitch.tv/mayoness/clip/CrowdedFancySlothRuleFive-rRsNcwOXflq3N8aT The loadzone towards the ladder is not active yet during the fight. (plus we'd not get the Mosin Nagant afterwards which is another downside for some strategies) === Vent Glitch in Bolshaya Past Cave === We can camo swap over this little hill inside the vent and then are able to stand up (OOB) and walk the vent itself. Found by Hau5test\\ https://www.twitch.tv/hau5test/clip/GlamorousDifferentChowderGingerPower-Wd3GzI7Nbec9iHI1 === More Possible Skips === Naturally not worth doing over just skipping through the codec or cutscene, nevertheless it can be done. Dremuchij North\\ Allows to skip the ocelot unit without missing out on the M1911A1. {{youtube>-hXuTKO41xA?}} Chyornyj Prud {{youtube>CmseRJCW2Vc?}} Svyatogornyj South {{youtube>I0BXKxZgEfo?}} ==== Sky Walking Glitch ==== {{youtube>urp7U0Vi0UY?}} found by Apel on 09/19/2025 {{youtube>0PsfnQClOFs?}} Reported on by Hau5test https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOMPdMI6JkA \\ Compilation from the Stream with plenty of recreations as examples MetalGlennSolid managed to Sky Walk with a sleeping body on the rooftop in Rassvet \\ https://youtu.be/Kw0OEfTOpTU ==== Air + Sky Walking Glitch ==== On September 28th 2025 MetalGlennSolid shared this curious clip with the community:\\ {{youtube>Kw0OEfTOpTU?}} It shows him using the camo swap to Airwalk Glitch to then skip the Ocelot Unit fight, but instead of falling down after having stopped the camo swapping, he stayed in the air, similar to sky-walking. Seemingly the sleeping sniper body allowed Snake to perform the sky-walking glitch and stay in the air. This was then attempted to be recreated by SuaveBeardson with some degree of sucess however it seemingly still was very low on the successrate itself. {{youtube>YjwRNyUWkHM?}} At this point in time, there was no reliable way to recreate this setup that allows fewer camo swaps and getting this sky-walking state. It would mean another significant time-save over doing the boss fight itself, but alas - further testing required. ==== Sleepwalking / Dead Man walking Bug ==== {{youtube>8HljHeIehpw?}} Utilizing the Spatsa and while hanging, we can achieve that Snake is asleep and hanging at the same time.\\ This state causes the game to be permanently confused and allows for interesting follow up situations.\\ Such as guards being unable to alert on Snake. Snake being able to walk past load triggers into other areas and more.\\ by Apel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ykz6VzJmdKY \\ Warehouse 1 top floor mini zip based on FDP ledge grab by Hau5test \\ ==== All Versions ==== The Fear Bug by DRK\\ https://www.twitch.tv/outerheaven/clip/YummyPatientHyenaBigBrother-T0hNt3kAeA0BzfDb The Fear Bug by DelfinoPlazaGuy\\ https://www.twitch.tv/delfinoplazaguy/clip/FitEntertainingDonkeyDAESuppy-iUxDyppISA-LHX5E Another Fear stuck in animation bug example by BIGHAM\\ https://fixupx.com/BIGHAM_vt/status/1961308926965686441 Similar The End can also be stuck in a permanent walking animation has multiple people have found out since release.\\ Potentially this can be enforced by standing in the box in front of the boss when he wants to run away.\\ Here's a clipped example:\\ https://www.twitch.tv/antibigboss/clip/MushyBloodyPeanutHeyGuys-tkeW3E0eSWfOuSVN\\ https://discord.com/channels/104726474271002624/1405883668840579104/1410908084724961414\\ https://discord.com/channels/104726474271002624/1405883668840579104/1410905292119478353 Box Trick with ledges by DelfinoPlazaGuy {{youtube>5KdF2irLjdY?}} Eva Turbo during Shagohod by MrDan23\\ https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkxd5WyEROUagA89mAcD3LTPuofpIPzFmv4?si=SatsH-9fDeb9f_lJ Vulture stuck in air due to flying platform guard by MarlonH8\\ https://youtu.be/cfTm42EvWB4 Getting spotted through wall by MarlonH8\\ https://youtu.be/AnpkISIx_ZE Snake getting electricuted until dead glitch by MetalGlennSolid\\ https://www.twitch.tv/metalglennsolid/clip/FilthyAdventurousPheasantSoBayed-kPJh3YAtbKJZ1BLs?filter=clips&range=7d&sort=time Shaghod Cutscene Glitch replicated in MGS Delta Legacy Style by Hau5test \\ https://www.twitch.tv/hau5test/clip/AuspiciousPolishedPidgeonAMPTropPunch-mSNuFQryCdFiNdyO Snake can CQC behind him?
