Given enough time, he can hack into anything, providing some extra support for Snake, letting him finish the mission with fewer hindrances. The codec is an almost entirely silent communication system between him and his support team one of his most consistent allies on missions is Snake's good friend, Hal "Otacon" Emmerich, a self-professed otaku and successful hacker and programmer. When he needs backup, he uses the codec system, which is regulated by the nanomachines inside his body that also enhance his body further. For his gear, Snake is outfitted with the Octocamo suit and his Solid Eye: the former is a camouflage system and allows Snake to blend in with his surroundings to an extent where even infrared-equipped Gekkos fail to spot him, while the latter is an eyepatch-like device that can provide real-time battle information, such as night vision and radar. With this, Snake can easily switch between melee and ranged combat quickly, aided by his master of almost any weapon he uses and his supplementary equipment. Snake's training with Big Boss, allows him to utilize CQC, or close quarters combat, a fighting style developed by Big Boss with his mentor, The Boss, another legendary war heroine. The two cross over when analyzing his arsenal Snake prefers to travel light for his missions, packing with him only a small handful of weapons: a Ruger Mk 2 pistol when lethal force is not required, a 1911 Operator pistol when it is, and a stun knife, the offspring of a combat knife and a taser. But even then, more and more and many more Metal Gears would pop up, and Snake would be involved in the destruction of them all.īut though the soldier of fortune known world-over is known for his expertise in infiltration and stealth, Snake has just as much expertise in combat proper. Alas, the dream was not meant to be he was soon pulled out of retirement to destroy another Metal Gear and confront the still-alive Big Boss before leaving again. To prevent nuclear war, Snake killed Big Boss and destroyed Metal Gear before leaving for an early retirement, relocating to Alaska to train his dogs. Not only that, but Big Boss was revealed to be the leader behind the terrorist uprising. After receiving training from Big Boss himself, his commanding officer, Snake was sent to the secret base Outer Heaven on a rescue mission, but soon discovered that the base housed a Metal Gear, a bipedal weapon capable of launching a nuclear strike to and from anywhere in the world.

He spent most of his young adult life fighting for the Green Berets, the US Army, the CIA, and eventually, the special operations group FOXHOUND his work in stealth operations in the very last of those being where he attained his now famous codename: Solid Snake. Luckily for David, he ended up being the good one. While the project originally had 8 children, 6 of them were scrambled to empower the remaining two, one was prophesied to save the world, the other to destroy it. His purpose in life was simple: being cloned from the greatest solider of the 20th century, Big Boss, the project was meant to empower David, turning him into the greatest soldier of all. To begin, Wizard and Boomstick take a look at the origins of Solid Snake, who was once but a child named David, born from the Les Enfant Terribles project.
