Defeat Vulcan Raven in Metal Gear using missiles or C4. Learn strategies to avoid his minigun and exploit his blind spots.
Walkthrough
- 1This is your final encounter with Vulcan Raven. He is equipped with a mammoth minigun and has a huge field of vision, so you should take cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) (a position to hide behind).
- 2Do not get in front of Raven; stay behind him or hidden. Do not try to finish him using hand-to-hand moves. Do not use small arms like the FAMAS or Socom on him.
- 3Use only missiles (Stinger or Nikita) or C4. Use Stinger missiles wisely, as you may not have many.
- 4Raven patrols the warehouse quickly and often turns around. Hide behind containers and fire when his back is turned.
- 5With the Stinger missile: Wait for Raven to run ahead of your position, then quickly come out of hiding and fire a missile. Quickly unequip the Stinger and get back behind a container.
- 6With the Nikita missile: Ensure his back is turned. You can control the Nikita missile to navigate around corners if you miss. Keep an eye on the radar (your minimap with nearby blips and threats marked) (a display showing enemy positions) to avoid being spotted while controlling the missile. Do not make the missile move too much, as it slows down and Raven can shoot it down with his machine gun. If Raven is directly in front of you, let the Nikita go straight; it will detect if the missile is near and turn around, but you might still get hit.
- 7With C4 or mines: Set traps in his path. C4 does a good amount of damage.
- 8When his health bar gets smaller, he moves quicker and turns around more often.
Tips
- Always stay behind Vulcan Raven or hidden.
- Do not stay around after firing a missile, as he will immediately look at you.
- If using Nikita missiles, try not to change direction often to maintain speed and avoid him shooting them down.
- C4 is an effective method for dealing damage.
