Learn how to find the secret Camera item in Metal Gear. This guide details using the Level 6 card, C4, and chaff grenades to access this useful inventory item.

Alright, so you've got the Level 6 card from Otacon, which means we can finally open up all those high-security doors, including the ones in the Nuke Building. Now, there's a pretty neat item you can grab called the Camera. It's one of those handy things to have in your inventory. Here's how we get it:

First, we need to head back to the armory in the Tank Hanger. Remember that wall hole we used to get to where we fought Revolver Ocelot? We're going back there. But this time, look for an extra spot on the right wall where you can place C4. It's right next to where we blew up that wall to get to Kenneth Baker. If you don't have any C4 on you, don't sweat it – you can grab some from the rooms in the armory itself.

Once you blow that spot open, you'll find yourself in a small hallway. Keep your eyes peeled, because there are two gun cameras in here – one at the north end and one at the south. You'll also see two doors, both locked with Level 6 security. To get past these gun cameras, pop a chaff grenade. This will temporarily disable them, giving you a window to act. Each of those Level 6 doors actually has another gun camera inside, so you'll need to be quick.

Now, one of those doors will be stuffed with stun and chaff grenades, but the other one? That's where you'll find the Camera. Grab it and you're good to go!

Heads Up: You can actually use this camera to take pictures of pretty much anything, just like you're looking through the Scope. Just remember that each picture you take uses up one block on your memory card, so try not to waste them!

PC Players: If you're playing the PC version, don't hold back on using the camera. The pictures take up hardly any space on your hard drive, and they're all neatly organized. So go nuts!

Oh, and one last thing – this camera actually carries over into the next game, so it's definitely worth grabbing.
