Side Quests & Activities

While Metal Gear is primarily a linear experience focused on its main narrative, there are several optional activities and hidden elements that can significantly aid Solid Snake in his mission. These include rescuing additional prisoners, finding hidden items, and exploring areas off the main path. Engaging with these activities can provide valuable resources, intel, and even unlock alternative strategies.

Unlike modern games, there isn't a formal 'side quest' log. Instead, these are opportunities for exploration and resource gathering that enhance your gameplay. Always keep an eye out for suspicious walls, unusual item placements, or prisoners calling for help.
