By “Giok90” Giovanni Di Mare

Special Camo:
AT-Camo: multiply the camo index of the equipped camo in a NG+ run. To acquire this item, it is necessary to find and shoot all 64 Ga-ko. (for all locations see All Ga-ko Locations Guide)

Moss: replenishes your stamina in outdoor areas and gives you significant camo index (up to 95%) in the grass. Combined with Woodland face paint, it is possible to reach the 100% camo index in the grass. You can obtain the camo by sneaking up on The End and holding him up. One efficient way to achieve this is by using thermal goggles to see his reverse footprints to locate him. Freeze The End moving toward him very, very slow (if you are on NG+ using the Spirit camouflage helps significantly) and then aim at his head until he will say “I don’t think so” twice.

Spirit: makes your footsteps noiseless and when you wear it, using CQC on guards restores your stamina. This camo is very useful to get the Moss camo from The End during a NG+ run. You can get it touching The Sorrow at the end of his boss fight.

Snake: allows you to get significant camo index in many areas. You can acquire it defeating The Boss by tranquillizing her.

Animal: prevents you from shaking while using guns also when your stamina is low, this can help you avoid consuming food in those circumstances. You can obtain the camo defeating Ocelot in a non-lethal way.

Spider: allows you to get significant high camo index in most areas but consumes a lot of stamina, and can be alternated with the Moss camouflage in outdoor areas. You can get the camo tranquilizing The Fear.

Fire: makes you immune from fire. It is very useful against The Fury in a NG+ run. You can obtain this camouflage defeating The Fury in a non-lethal way.

Cold war: this camo is very useful during bike chase. Wear it immediately after it drops following The Volgin battle, so many soldiers won’t shoot you during the bike chase. Moreover, if you don’t aim at a zero alerts run, during normal gameplay wear this camo to have the advantage that enemies shoot you only from behind and not when you face them. You can obtain it defeating Volgin in a non-lethal way.

Hornet Stripe: equipping this camo, when you shoot a hornet’s nest, the hornets harmlessly follow you while attacking enemy guards. It is very useful against The Pain in a NG+ run because it reduces the damage taken from him. You can get it defeating The Pain in a non-lethal way.
