=====Easy Info=====
Easy difficulty is Ghost Babel with training wheels. 

  *More resources spawn 
  *Some bosses become easier
  *Snake is built like a tank, needing a ration is fairly unlikely.
  *Fewer guards and cameras
  *One of the awkward aspects of Easy is that Alerts and Evasions clear faster than other difficulties.
  *Guards without body armor die in 1 bullet, 2 bullets with body armor. 
  *Guards without body armor will die immediately if you triple punch them.

Tutorial of Stage 11, Stage 12, and Stage 13
====Stage 01====
  *Differences are irrelevant compared to Normal.
====Stage 02====
  *Do a one punch buffer to get past the guard in the first screen of the fortress, like on Very Hard.
  *To avoid getting hit by the second guard in the first screen of the fortress, you can perform the Tony Tap. There is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhK1pLDJtdQ|a slower but easier version]] and [[https://clips.twitch.tv/RealCarelessKiwiRuleFive-4MGHxAG1M7SrCzbj|a faster but more precise version]] 
  *There is no guard after the Chris codec.
  *There is no guard before the ID card truck.
  *You'll need to equip the ID card due to the lack of alert opportunities.
====Stage 03====
  *First screen's margin for error is gone due to the top guard being absent.
====Stage 04====
  *There is one fewer turret before the chaff, but isn't worth the trouble picking up.
  *Oddly enough, the screen after the first dogs screen has more guards than Normal difficulty.
  *If you are confident in your play, skip the rations near the end and pick up the ration in the first screen of Stage 09.
====Stage 05====
  *There is no camera at the end of the first drop, meaning the margin of error or need for a camshot as a back up is gone.
  *There is no guard in the room after the ID card upgrade.
  *There is no guard after the blue box drop.
  *It takes multiple grenades to bring yourself near death before the death abuse. This is where Snake being a tank becomes a liability.
  *There are no guards after the double camera screen during the C4 run.
  *[[https://clips.twitch.tv/EntertainingGoodOpossumBrokeBack|Hound C4 Return]]
====Stage 06====
  *There is no guard at the basement elevator, so use a stun to open the doors.
  *Marionette Owl does not speed up after being shot the first time, requiring a different approach compared to higher difficulties.
  *[[https://clips.twitch.tv/SnappyAbrasiveYogurtHassaanChop|Owl Setup 1]]
  *[[https://clips.twitch.tv/WrongSassyEchidnaTBTacoLeft|Owl Setup 2]]
====Stage 08====
  *There is no guard after the vent crawl.
  *There is no guard in the ID card room.
  *You still want to camshot to avoid getting shot by the one turret after Nikita skip.
  *The fast alert clearing makes the second Nikita skip awkward.
  *Pyro Bison has less HP.
====Stage 09====
  *There is no guard in the gas room.
  *There is C4 in the topleft corner of the Bison room.
  *There is no guard in the East wing of 1F.
====Stage 10====
  *Havoc helicopter does not shoot for long when on the West or East sides.
====Stage 11====
  *Kill the guard after the Nikita, remember they take two shots.
  *Pick up the R5 ammo after blowing up the wall.
  *There is no guard in the west area by the door from the entrance.
  *There is no camera in the floor 50 laser room.
  *There is no guard around the noisy floors on floor 50.
  *There is no guard after the elevator on floor 98.
====Stage 12====
  * Metal Gear never deploys its UAVs
