Combat may not be the focus of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, but that doesn't mean you have to stick with boring gear the entire time. There are over two dozen weapons to collect in Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, and some of them won't even ruin your nonlethal run if you use them correctly.
Keeping with the pulpy spy theme of Snake Eater, conventional weapons only make up a small portion of the game's arsenal. You can find unique items like Cigarette Gas Spray and a bunch of grenades that can be used to dispatch your enemies without killing them. Don't worry; there are still flashy revolvers and powerful rocket launchers on the list too. Here's where you can find every weapon in Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater.

If you miss them during the main story, however, you can test them out in the Fox Hunt multiplayer mode later on.
