Explore the essential moves and techniques for Sam Fisher in Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. Master mantling, ledge hanging, split jumps, and more to succeed.

This is a list of some basic moves Fisher can do that will help along the way.

Mantling
Climb onto ledges or objects by pushing towards them and pressing triangle.
Close Attack
When in close to an enemy, use L1 for a non-lethal attack or R1 for a more lethal solution.
Ledge Hanging
To hang from a ledge, carefully drop off the ledge. From there Fisher can shimmy left and right, climb back up or drop down by pushing O.
Hanging Throw
While on a ledge below an opponent, push X to grab him and throw him off the ledge. If he falls a sufficient distance, he will die.
Bar Hanging
Under a horizontal bar, jump up to grab onto the bar. Push X to tuck in Fisher's feet. Push O to drop down/untuck. Can draw a weapon while hanging tucked or untucked.
Inverted Neck Snap
While bar hanging from a tucked position over an enemy, push L1 to choke the victim unconscious or R1 to snap his neck.
Water Kill
When in water close to an enemy, use the interaction menu to kill the enemy by drowning him.
Zip Line
Under a sloped wire, jump to grab hold and slide down. X tucks in Fisher's feet and O drops off the line.
Rolling
While standing and running, hold O to engage in a roll.
Split Jump
In a narrow corridor, face the wall and push triangle. While split jumped, Fisher can draw a weapon or drop down on unsuspecting foes.
Rappelling
While near a hook point, use the interaction menu to start rappelling down the wall. Press triangle to kick off the wall or down to climb down slowly. Fisher can draw a weapon while rappelling.
Switch Shoulder
When aiming a weapon, use L3 to switch shoulders for better coverage around corners.
Grabbing
Get behind an opponent and use the interaction menu. Some enemies can be interrogated by pressing X. Fisher can draw a weapon while grabbing to use the enemy as a human shield. Push L1 for a silent knockout or R1 for a lethal takedown. Using R1 near ledges will throw the body off the ledge.
Force Cooperation
While grabbing, move an enemy near a retinal scanner to make them open the door.
Move Body
Near a downed body, push X to pick up the body. Pressing O while carrying a body will cause Fisher to stand up but remain silent. Press X to silently put someone down or triangle to drop them in a hurry.
