All MGS Delta Camo and Face Paint: Locations, Effects and Best Camo

Camouflage is the heart of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. The right uniform and face paint raise your camo index, keep guards from spotting you and some even give special abilities like silent footsteps or infinite grenades. Here is every camo and face paint in the game, what it does and where to get it.

Best camo for every situation

Grass and forest: Moss (up to 95%, 100% with Woodland face paint) and it restores stamina outdoors in daytime.
Almost everywhere: Spider or Snake camo, with Spider using a lot of stamina.
Urban areas: Splitter.
Desert and mountains: Choco Chip.
Swimming: Water camo with Water face paint.
Rain: Raindrop.
The Boss fight: Snow camo with Snow face paint.
Silent approach and CQC: Spirit.
Boss fights: Sneaking Suit, which halves damage and reduces stamina use.

In New Game+ equip the AT-Camo on top of your uniform to multiply its camo index. You get it by shooting all 64 Ga-ko: see all Ga-ko locations.

Special camo

Camo	Effect	How to get it
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.
