09/19/2025 - community notes that going into FPV seemingly changes some animations or straight up skipping them.
Q: Did movement change in MGS Delta? Is the box still required on slopes to have Snake run faster?
A: The movement in MGS Delta compared to the original MGS3 releases has changed in a couple of ways:
Q: What is the fastest movement method?*
A: Here are the fastest movement options listed by situation
In general the order of speed on even ground is as follows:

Note: Apparently going FPV before the game forces you into FPV makes snake move faster?

It seemingly does not matter at which angle you swim to be fast.
it takes 5s less to climb on 60fps vs 30fps

Q: Do the bullet bees not hit you still if you go into FPV during the Pain's 2nd phase of the boss fight?
A: No, the bullet bees have been fixed in MGS Delta and will hit you if you're in first person view or not.
Q: Does the Fear boss still take non-lethal damage from lethal weapons if being hit by stun first?
A: No, the Fear does no longer take non-lethal damage from lethal weapons like the knife, patriot, traps or other lethal weapons if he's hit by a stun. However you can only in legacy mode still do the fdp near the traps in the top right corner. if you throw a stun there and let the trap hit the fear, then the fight ends quickly in a non-lethal matter. This does not work for new style unfortunately.
Q: Does the time spent in The Sorrow's boss fight get counted towards the IGT?
A: No, just like in the original game, the Sorrow's boss fight sets a checkpoint before the segment begins and as long as you get out of the segment without pressing continue once you died, the IGT does not get added towards the total and instead gets reset to the checkpoint from the start of the fight. Effectively you can walk the entire segment to get the Ghost camo at the end and it will not matter towards the IGT of the game score screen.

Q: Can the End be manipulated in MGS Delta?
A: The arrow manipulation of the old MGS3 games seems to be gone, now the End can spawn in the starting area of Sokrovenno South in one of 2 locations. Additionally, similar to the old MGS3 game, the force teleport to the lower sniping location in Sokrovenno South still works. So you can have him run away after some Mk.22 or EZ Gun shots and he will return back in Sokrovenno South similar to the old game versions.

Q: Can I still enter the Konami Code on the map view to reveal The End's location?
A: MGS Delta acknowledges the Konami code when you enter it during the fight with The End on the map screen, however the game will not reveal The End's location anymore. Instead it will play one of many voice line's by The End, mocking you for the attempt of utilizing this easter egg. For reference, the Konami code can be input as follows:
Q: Did the Mosin Nagat get its damage output lowered?
A: As of now, we can confirm that the Mosin Nagat in some boss fights does less damage towards enemies compared to the original MGS3 releases.
