Find the C4 in Strut E and collect seven Claymores on the EF connecting bridge in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Equip Sensor A. The yellow cloud is north by the Harrier jet. Lie down and look underneath to find the C4 near the rear wheel under the wings. Freeze it with the Coolant.
  2. 2
    Head back down the south stairs. Continue west around the corner to encounter a guard. Encourage him with the M9 if he is not sleeping. Just past him is a CLAYMORE.
  3. 3
    Head back east to the Strut E Parcel Room. Run along the east wall to the south to avoid being seen by the guard. Exit through the southeast door.
  4. 4
    Run down the hall and onto the EF connecting bridge. You will receive a mysterious Codec call.
  5. 5
    Equip the Mine Detector if you have it. If not, go back to the southwest of the parcel room, down the stairs, to retrieve it.
  6. 6
    The Mine Detector will show the location and blast direction of each stealth-equipped Claymore mine. Crouch down and crawl over them to safely collect all seven CLAYMOREs.
  7. 7
    At the west of this bridge is a narrower bridge leading to the Shell 1 core, locked with Level 2 security. The floorboards will drop away if you attempt to cross. Do not attempt this now. If you do go over, hang on the railing or shimmy while pressed against it to return.
  8. 8
    Head south and enter Strut F warehouse.
  9. 9
    If you do not have the M9 tranquilizer, check the southeast room on the upper floor.
  10. 10
    From the upper level entrance, head down the stairs to the east to find the node. Press against the wall and crouch by the boxes near the railing. Move on the guard downstairs when he is looking away.
  11. 11
    Be aware that one of the guards upstairs will periodically come down to check on the situation. Hide the guard you dropped if necessary.
  12. 12
    At the end of the stairs directly to the west is STUN.G. South of the stairs on a box is SOCOM BULLET X 12.
  13. 13
    Head south to find a hallway and grab the CHAFF.G at the end. In the east room here, some items are on the other side of obstacles. Duck down and get the M9 BULLET X 15 under the shelf to the right.
  14. 14
    Enter the west room in the hall and use the node there. BOX 2 is in the corner. A RATION and PENTAZEMIN can be found in the lockers.
  15. 15
    Crawl through the vent hole in the southwest to reach the other side of the east room and claim the SCM.SUPR (SOCOM Suppressor) and SOCOM BULLET X 12.
  16. 16
    To attach the SOCOM Suppressor permanently, equip the SOCOM from the weapon window and the Suppressor from the item window.
  17. 17
    The C4 cloud is at the west of the main room. The C4 is pulsing inside stacked boxes on the floor, out of reach from below. You need to drop down from above to access it.
  18. 18
    If you did not take out the guard who checks both floors, you can do so now. Alternatively, take out the guard patrolling the east side upstairs and hide his body behind the box in the mideast of the upper level (where SOCOM BULLET X 12 is located) to prevent a missed status report and fewer guards.
  19. 19
    Investigate the upper level freely when the status report guard is downstairs, or take him out and act quickly. Freeze the C4.
Tips
  • The Mine Detector is a helpful tool for now and later.
  • The SOCOM Suppressor is a must-have item.
  • Hiding the body of the guard who patrols the east side upstairs can prevent more guards from arriving.
