Deck-A, Crew's Quarters
Upon boarding the tanker, your primary objective is to navigate Deck-A and locate the Metal Gear RAY. This area is patrolled by numerous guards, and stealth is paramount. Begin by moving cautiously along the exterior of the tanker, utilizing cover and the shadows to avoid detection. Your initial goal is to reach the interior access points.
Once inside Deck-A, you'll need to make your way through the crew's quarters. These narrow corridors and rooms are filled with guards. Use your tranquilizer gun or CQC (Close Quarters Combat) for silent eliminations. Pay close attention to guard patrol patterns; they often move in predictable routes. Look for ventilation shafts and other hidden passages that can offer alternative routes and bypass heavily guarded areas. Remember to save frequently, as the guards can be unforgiving if alerted.
