Discover Metal Gear nanomachines, tiny MEMS-created machines including a transmitter and radar, injected into Snake.

Nanomachines are microscopic machines created using MEMS (Micro Electrical Mechanical System) technology. They are employed in ultra-small transmitters and medical DDS's (Drug Delivery Systems). Despite their micrometer scale, they are called nanomachines because their individual transistors and synergy ceramics utilize nanotechnology.

Snake receives an injection of these nanomachines at the start of his operation. This injection equips him with a transmitter, a radar (minimap), and an anti-NBC (Nuclear, Biological, Chemical) defense system.

Tips
  • The nanomachines are essential for gameplay, providing vital information via the radar and protecting Snake from environmental hazards.
  • Understanding the function of these machines can help you better appreciate the technological aspects of Metal Gear.
