 **A:** Hope. Get lucky. Get Skilled. Practice. Use the Solar Gun for NG+. Run MS if you hate resetting Big Boss attempts an hour deep. It sucks, not going to sugar coat it. **A:** Hope. Get lucky.

 +As for a real, actually helpful answer; Its highly HIGHLY suggested you learn exactly who can shoot you and who you must to shoot. Only some enemies are actually a threat, and some are just sometimes a threat, because of annoying bullet rng. A good example of this is the PMC on the Humvee turret EVA drives directly towards. He will never, ever, hit you. Or being sure to take out the right Humvee before the left because that is the one blowing up the white van.

 +Its not just who to shoot, but when you shoot and with what. There's a big difference between a stun grenade and a mark 2 round. If you can at least make it to room 2, setting your console ahead 24 hours real time will heal Snake to full. Additionally, when entering room 3, Snake's current weapon, even the solar gun, will gain full ammo and a reload, on top of Snake getting full HP and Psyche.
