1. FA-MAS Rifle & SOCOM Suppressor
With your new Level 2 Keycard in hand, outfit Snake with elite operational gear:
Armory B2 & Hangar Cache- FA-MAS Rifle (B2): Unlock the Level 2 room in Basement B2. Light a cigarette to expose the invisible infrared tripwires with smoke and crawl underneath to secure the FA-MAS Assault Rifle and ammo.
- SOCOM Suppressor (Hangar Ground Floor): Take the elevator up to the hangar and unlock the Level 2 door. Neutralize the sentry and collect the SOCOM Suppressor. Screwing this onto your pistol enables silent headshots.
- Cardboard Box A & Mine Detector (Upper Walkway): Unlock the Level 1 and 2 rooms on the upper walkway to obtain Cardboard Box A and the Mine Detector.

2. Radioing Meryl & The Snow Canyon Minefield
Return to the hangar ground floor. Notice one of the two armored tanks has been moved. Approach the large Level 5 blast door:
- Tune your Codec transceiver to 140.15 to contact Meryl Silverburgh (the frequency printed on the back of the original game box).
- Meryl unlocks and opens the heavy blast doors from her terminal.
- As you cross the connecting hallway, light another cigarette: exhaled smoke exposes infrared laser beams that trigger lethal nerve gas. Crawl prone beneath the beams to exit into the snowfield.
- In the snowy canyon, equip your Thermal Goggles or Mine Detector: crawl prone over buried Claymore landmines to safely disarm and add them to your inventory.

3. Boss Battle: M1 Abrams Tank (Vulcan Raven)
Midway through the canyon, an anonymous informant named Deepthroat radios a warning. Immediately after, an M1 Abrams Tank commanded by Vulcan Raven crashes through the gate.
M1 Abrams Tank
Boss · MediumVulcan Raven's Armored Vehicle.
Strategy- Weak against: Fragmentation grenades lobbed into the open turret hatch.
- Continually toss Chaff Grenades to scramble the main cannon's automated tracking radar.
- Zigzag sprint toward the tank chassis to avoid heavy machine gun fire.
- When the top gunner pops his torso out of the hatch, lob Hand Grenades directly down the hatch opening. After eliminating the first gunner, a relief sentry takes his place; repeat the grenade tactic to destroy the vehicle.
Upon defeating the tank crew, pick up the dropped Level 3 Keycard, though Vulcan Raven escapes into the facility interior.

4. Infiltrating the Nuclear Warhead Storage
Head up the northern ramp of the canyon, grab the ration at the top, and slide beneath the partially open blast door of the Nuclear Warhead Storage Building:
Firearms Prohibited ZoneColonel Campbell and Nastasha Romanenko (141.52) will radio in with strict orders: all firearms are strictly prohibited inside the warhead building due to the catastrophe of puncturing an atomic core.
Navigate silently around the two patrolling sentries and climb the ladder behind the parked cargo truck to access the elevator.
