Complete your collection in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots by finding all Special Items, Camouflages, FaceCamos, Dolls, and Weapons with this comprehensive guide.
This section details the various items Snake can acquire throughout Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, excluding items automatically obtained like the MGS1 Snake face camo.
Special Items:
- Bandana — Grants infinite ammo. Earn by playing without killing anyone or buy from Drebin for 5 million Drebin Points.
- Digital Camera — Found near Sunny's desk during Act Two's mission briefing. Allows viewing photos in the main menu's album.
- Scanning Plug — Purchase from Drebin for 10,000 Drebin Points after playing Metal Gear Online for over ten hours. When equipped, scanning PMC soldiers in a CQC chokehold reveals the locations of all SOP-registered soldiers in the area.
- Stealth Camouflage — Makes Snake invisible (100% camo index). Gekkos and Scarabs can still detect Snake, and enemies can still hear him. It deactivates if Snake runs through an enemy, during alert phases, or boss fights. Obtain by completing the game without any alerts or buy from Drebin for 5 million Drebin Points.
Camouflages:
- Altair — Earn the Assassin emblem. Has a decent camo index, though OctoCamo is superior.
- Corpse Camo — Obtained after dying too many times. Useful for fooling electronic enemies like Scarabs or Gekkos; lying flat makes enemies assume Snake is dead, ending their investigation.
- Middle East Rebel Disguise — Found in a locker in the northeast section of the rebel headquarters in Act One.
- South American Rebel Disguise — Found in a locked building against the starting wall in Cove Valley Village, Act Two. Draw the soldier out to access it.
- Suit — Earned by completing the game once.
FaceCamo:
- Big Boss — Earn the Big Boss emblem. Enemies become terrified or pass out when they see you.
- Colonel Campbell — Stun Campbell with the MK.II during Act One's mission briefing.
- Crying Beauty — Defeat using non-lethal tactics.
- Drebin — Acquire sixty weapons in one game.
- Laughing Beauty — Defeat using non-lethal tactics.
- Otacon — Stun Otacon with the MK.II during Act Three's mission briefing.
- Raging Beauty — Defeat using non-lethal tactics.

Note: For FaceCamos earned during Mission Briefings, the entire sequence must be watched for them to register.
Dolls:
- Haven Trooper — Complete the Advent Palace portion of Act One non-lethally. Found in the underground parking garage. Shooting a Haven Trooper while it hangs and falls counts as a kill.
- Laughing Octopus — Defeat using non-lethal tactics. Found on a bed in the lab during the Beauty fight.
- Raging Raven — Defeat using non-lethal tactics. Found on the highest floor of the tower during the Beauty fight.
- Crying Wolf — Defeat using non-lethal tactics. Found against the wall behind Snake's starting position during the Beauty fight.
- Screaming Mantis — Defeat using non-lethal tactics. After hitting and picking up the Psycho Mantis doll, finish Screaming Mantis and her Beauty form, then head to the north exit to find the doll.
- Psycho Mantis — Shoot the doll hanging from Screaming Mantis' right hand to force her to drop it. Equipping this doll allows Snake to control enemies' actions.
- The Sorrow — Shoot the other doll hanging from the string in Screaming Mantis' left hand to force her to drop it. Equipping this doll allows Snake to control dead soldiers and see ghosts in Act Four when the camera is equipped.
Note: The Haven Trooper, Laughing Octopus, Raging Raven, Crying Wolf, and Screaming Mantis dolls, when all collected, unlock the Solar Gun, which knocks enemies unconscious and causes them to drop items. It is also effective against Vamp and charges in sunlight.
