Hi there. This guide has been created to assist you in completing
the Variety mode of Metal Gear Solid: VR Missions. This FAQ deals only
with the variety mode, and what you need to use for the variety mode.
If you have made it this far in the game, then you know that the
Variety mode will be no walk in the part. I will try to make it easier
for you to complete it. However, I will not include ways to defeate the
level in the Time Trials.
In case you don't you, I figure that you need at lead %60 in the
VR Mission.
I have created this FAQ, because i have not seen a walkthrough
that explains the method of clearing the Variety mode in depth. My FAQ,
however, will do so.
Now, without further ado, lets move on to the FAQ.
Here are a list of Techniques you should have mastered before attempting
the Variety mode. These are advanced Techniques, you are expected to
know everything else.
Leaning: Hold the directional button towards the wall that you
want to lean against. You can press the button to the
left or right to move in that direction while leaning.
Quick Reload: Tap R1 twice, and you will reload your weapon quickly.
Run & Shoot: Hold the shoot button (default is Square) while holding
X. You will run while shooting
Wall Knock: While leaning against the wall, tap the O button. You
will knock on the wall. Note that this will get the
attention of the guard
01: Choke and drag the guard to the slab of glass down the walkway,
than kill him while standing on it. Be carful not to bump into the
guard when you go up to choke him. Head for the goal!
02: Choke the guard, the dragon him to the pit. Have you and the
guard facing the pit, and pushed right up to the pit. Drop him.
DON'T KILL HIM. Now, push yourself as far away to from the pit
as you can, directly behind the guard. When he wakes up, punch
him three or four times, and he will fall into the pit. Head for
the goal!
03: Run forward. Don't worry about the guards, they won't see you.
Keep running forward until you see a group of 3 guards. First,
position yourself directly behind the middle one. Punch him, and
he will fall into the pit. Now, position yourself behind the
guard on the left. Punch him, and he will fall into the pit.
Do the same to the guard on the right. Now, go back to the
intersection. Position yourself directly in front of the PIT.
The moment that the guard walks in front of you (don't worry,
he won't see you) punch him. He will fall into the pit. Now,
do the same to the guard directly right. Head for the goal!
04: This one may require some work. First, run around to the other
side of the wall. Lean up against the wall, push left until you
get in between the first two guards. Quickly place a C4. Next,
Lean up against the wall until you get in between the next two
guards. Place another C4. Do the same until your reach the end,
Make your way away from the C4, and Detonate it. With any luck,
you will kill each guard. If not, choke the life out of the
remaining ones. After you kill them all, head for the goal!
05: Run up, until you reach the intersection. There is two ways that
I have heard of to complete this mission, they are:
#1. Make your way left, until you can't go anymore. As soon as the
guard stops to move, run and throw him out of the way. Head
for the goal!
#2. As soon as the guards stop run... Run directly behind the guard
in front of you. Make sure you don't hit him, though, but make
sure you get as close as possible. Head quickly for the goal!
Both of these ways may take a lot of practise to get right. I think
that this is the hardest of all variety mode missions.
06. This mode is quite hard, unless you know what to look for. There
six guards, spread out around the map. They are placed in random
places. You can spot them, because you can see a faint shadow where
the guard is standing, you can see that they cause the tile on the
floors and walls to change a different shape (so much for stealth),
and you'll also see their breath from time to time. When you
spot one of the guards, make sure you stand far enough away,
because the radar cant show you how far they can see. Fire three
shots when you see the laser on the guard. Make sure you conserve
ammo for the last few guards. After your done killing them, head
for the goal!
07. Use your stinger missiles to destroy each red crystal. Make sure
destroy the ones that are closest to you first, because one hit
from them, and you are instantly annihilated.
08. Head to the top floor, collecting the Diazepam along the way. Once
at the top floor, fire at the crystals on the other platform. Be
sure NOT to kill the guards, or it'll be game over for you. When
you get to the last guard, you have to wait for the guard to wake
up, and move out of your way. Blast the last crystal, then head
down to the bottom floor, then head for the goal!
(*NOTE*: The reason you cannot shoot at the crystals from the
bottom floor is that when you get to the last crystal, the last
guard will still be in the way, even when he moves. :*NOTE*)
09. Just run trough this level shooting EVERY crystal. Its that simple.
just make sure you conserve as much ammo as possible for the end. A
After you destroy the last crystal, head for the goal!
10. This is a bit more easier. Just your FA-MAS to blow apart those
pesky crystals. Use Run & Shoot and quick reload (see section 2)
for this level. After destroying the last crystal, head for the
goal!
11. Destroy 20 of the red crystals with your stinger missiles. Again,
make sure you get them, before they get you, because they are
lethal. After you kill 20 of them, they will all blow up, and
out comes the real challenge of this level! The U.F.O! Just fire
away like mad at the U.F.O, and you should be ok. You don't
have to lock on, just make sure your stingers are pointed at it.
After you defeated the U.F.O, head for the goal!
12. In this level, you have to defeat a huge Soldier, before he kills
Meryl. You have to fire your stingers at its head, then it's
mid-section, and then, finally, its knee. It will fall down after
it takes enough damage, Repeat. After it falls down 5 times,
head for the goal!
13. This time, you have to fight 2 guards, before they kill Meryl. Just
use the same strategy as above, but try to do it more quickly,
since your fighting two of the guards. Knock each of the guards
down 5 times, then head for the goal!
