I am playing MGS for the 2nd time, and I can't remember where I found the flack jacket!!

I'm gettin' creamed going up the tower stairs. Help!

i think (may be wrong) theres some body armour in the sperate rooms in the basment of the nuclear warhead storage building (close to where you fought ninja)

Well I think Fox Die is right..You need level 6 or 7 card I think to acess the room.....

FoxDie is correct.

Any chance, this being your second go through, that you have the bandana? If you do, let me know and I'll let you in on the absolute easiest way to go up the tower. Done it many times, and it's a hoot!

my favorite way to get up that stairway is to just keep tossing Stun Grenades and running. *i hardly ever have to kill anyone that way. *the soldiers behind me never get close enough, and the ones on the stairway are just lying there as Snake jogs by. *once in a while i stop at the top floor before the ladder and take them out one by one as they're catching up, but it's not so good if you're going for a good grade to be killing soldiers.

and yeah, Fox Die is right. *the Body Armor is one of the doors in the area that had the electrified floor and poison gas.

Allright! Thanks for the help guys (Fox Die, ER & juggleknot)...I got it!!

ziffgone: Yes, I have the bandanna…what's your secret??

:P Not much of a secret, as juggleknot pretty much described it. With the bandana, you can toss an unlimited amount of stun gernades. All you have to do is, once you're on the staircase, just press left on your controller. This will keep you running up the stairs. Toss a stun gernade everytime the flash just starts to dissipate, this way you find a nice compromise between being able to see and keep stunning the guards. Have fun! And don't get elbowed on the way up, eh.:thumbsup:

If you've got the bandanna, them my favourite method of negotiating the stairs is to use the FA-MAS. First, nearly empty the clip and when you're down to the last few bullets – they fire as ‘tracer rounds’. Equip the bandanna (so that the clip does not refresh) and just leg it up the stairs blasting the crap out of anything that moves with tracer rounds flying everywhere – maximum violence - sweet :thumbsup:

It may be my old age showing but I didn't think you could exit this building the way you came in anyhow, so going back to the other area isn't an option is it? *One tip is not to bother trying to get the stuff at the bottom of the stairs, as you'll only waste ammo and health doing so. *Just run and shoot your way to the top. *Somewhere up the top I think there's some goodies. *(Not that it's any help if you can't get there!)
