Out Of Bounds Kick Back
Recreation
- Crawl backwards against a special step.
- Stand up (while also leaning into the step other snake will refuse to stand up)
- Go prone.
- On step 3 snake does a kick back into the steps. This kickback was removed in Intergral so he just lays forward.
So far it only works on Nuke Bldg 1, Tower A/B roof, and Blast steps.
!! To actually go OOB in Nuke and Blast, the stand up animation has to be “cut in half” !!
- Snake needs to stand up but before being fully upright, go prone.
- The PSG1 makes this simple. Box is needed for Nuke bldg because Campbell said so
Version Limitations
Further testing done by BigBossSnake assumed to be working on the following releases:
- PAL
- NTSC-U
- NTSC-J (OG JP)
Reason why the following slips won't work is because the step animation was changed for the Integral release as sort of bug fix (presumed).
not working for:
- NTSC-J Integral
Video Examples
Texture Slip in Blast Furnace as found by BigBossSnake
“Stairs glitch in blast furnace. Makes use of the little kick back snake does on NTSC.” - BigBossSnake 08/27/2024
Texture slip in Nuke Building 1F as found by BigBossSnake
“It uses the same kick back trick as last one showed in Blast Furnace. However this time cannot use PSG1 to cancel standing up animation.” - BigBossSnake 09/10/2024
Heliport OoB Glitch by BigBossSnake
“It's very precise on these steps as the kickback only happens when going prone on the very edge of the last step.”- BigBossSnake 09/12/2024
Similar, this is how the Tower A Out of Bounds was done in the NTSC-U version of MGS by Magnum66 prior to the Docks finding.

Wrong Warp found by iLL_Pazzo on MGS PC Integral
See wrong warp page
Hind-D skip level up sequence for an IGT time save (banned under current ruleset)
found by iLL_Pazzo applicable for all difficulties:
- Take the Stinger ammo box before the Hind ladder
- Take the ladder and start the Hind fight
- Kill the Hind WITHOUT (very important) using GME
- When the Hind reached 0 health, just suicide
- Take the ladder again and leave the roof
- Go down the stairs and go to Wolf2 using GME2
- Congratulation, you just saved 25 to 30 seconds (depending on how fast you suicide) on every category without even using GME or area reload 🙂
