In Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, players navigate the treacherous complexities of Groznyj Grad as they pursue their mission objectives. Upon reaching the Krasnogorje Mountaintop and conversing with EVA, you will learn that Sokolov resides in the West wing of the Groznyj Grad Weapons Lab. Your path, however, is obstructed by formidable challenges, particularly your confrontation with The Fury, the supposed final member of the Cobras.
Yet, the most significant challenge lies in acquiring Major Raikov’s uniform. This task necessitates not only stealth but also strategic planning. You will need to don the Scientist camouflage while keeping a spare outfit handy for close-quarters combat (CQC).Below, we provide detailed steps on acquiring Major Raikov’s uniform and acquiring the necessary door frequency for your progression.
Acquiring Major Raikov’s Uniform in Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater
To obtain Major Raikov’s uniform, first subdue him and transport him to the changing room located on the first floor, which connects to the Main Wing of the Groznyj Grad Weapons Lab.
Utilizing the Scientist camouflage allows you to blend in while searching for Raikov. However, beware that this disguise may not fully prevent others—guards and scientists alike—from recognizing you. Keep your distance and act inconspicuously to avoid raising any alarms.
As you explore, familiarize yourself with the layout, paying attention to open doors and common patrol routes of both guards and scientists. Scientists typically remain stationary, with one often found in the library and others in the research areas. Meanwhile, expect at least two guards patrolling the ground floor and another outside the research room.
There are two methods to locate Major Raikov. The first is a more passive approach where you track Raikov as he finishes his patrol in the east wing, which might take longer. The alternative, albeit riskier, involves triggering the alarm and then hiding in the bathroom while still in your Scientist disguise.
By taking refuge in the stalls, you can watch as Raikov rushes into the bathroom.Wait for the Caution meter to reset to zero, and listen for the comms to signal guards to return to their posts. This is your cue to pursue Raikov as he exits, but remember to keep a respectful distance to avoid detection.
Ascend the stairs cautiously and observe whether he heads toward the locker room. Before approaching, ensure your hunger level is managed; a growling stomach could give your position away. It’s wise to consume some food before proceeding.
When Raikov is within your field of vision, make your move. Conduct a final check for any nearby guards.If the coast is clear, switch into a combat outfit suitable for CQC and incapacitate him. Drag him into the nearby lockers to activate a cutscene where Snake effectively acquires his uniform.
Before proceeding to the West Wing, ensure you equip both Major Raikov’s uniform and face mask. Wearing only the uniform risks being recognized by nearby guards, which could quickly escalate into a dangerous situation.
Obtaining the Door Frequency in Groznyj Grad Weapons Lab: East Wing
To access restricted areas, interrogating guards is key to obtaining door frequencies. Upon your initial exploration of the Groznyj Grad Weapons Lab: East Wing, you will encounter locked doors that require special access codes. EVA will prompt you to obtain this code, though she may not clarify how.
The solution is straightforward: sneak up on an unwitting guard. Once you ensure the area is safe, approach quietly from behind and initiate interrogation by pressing L3 or using the Left Stick on your controller. Be cautious to hold the button until you acquire the door code; releasing too early may alert other nearby guards.
After securing the frequency, it’s advisable to neutralize the guard to avoid future complications. Next, head to the locked door and press down on your D-pad to access your radio. Navigate to the tune tab and set the frequency to 145.86 or 148.13 to gain access.
Note that even if you are aware of these frequencies, you must still interrogate a guard in your gameplay for it to function correctly.
Finally, hitting send should unlock the door, granting access to the armory where the Scorpion SMG is located. Furthermore, successfully navigating this will allow you to open additional doors on the first floor, facilitating your mission ahead.
