===Xbox hardware can't use this setup, further testing needs to be done===

To do - Series S/X:
  * have items set up prior just like on PS3
  * go into the backpack
  * remove dmic
  * remove grenade
  * add 3 food items
  * start to get out of the menu
  * hold food item in hand with R2
  * add stun grenade
  * add smoke grenade
  * add magazine

note: consistency varies

=== How To Video ===
{{youtube>AFD3Z6bCszQ?medium}}
====Pre-requisites====
  * have 3 food items
  * have 1 empty magazine
  * before entering the room you want to execute the zip in
  * Equip the DMIC, any grenade, any pistol and the knife, in this order
  * go into the area where you want to execute the food zip
  * make a save
  * Hard reset (recommended for EN US and EN EU versions)
  * (Hard reset on JP ver. 1.02 might not be necessary, proof: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGEdhauyDPg)
====Doing the glitch====
  * Load the game and unequip the DMIC and equip any 3 food items
  * Go to the spot next to the ladder, face the west wall and point the camera downwards
  * Hold R2 and equip the food item (any of the 3)
  * Start running forward in a slight right angle and pause the game
  * Equip the magazine and the DMIC, unpause, don't let go of forward
  * if snake has enough space to T-Pose: Snake will T-Pose and start going backwards, but you will continue to hear his steps
  * The camera will zip up
  * Roll forward as soon as you can see the railing, or else you'll fall from too high up
  * Done

====Reliability====
  * It's technically multisegment only because doing food zips in a full game run is extremely inconsistent, leading to freezes/crashes
  * the PS3 HD JP version 1.02 is less prone to freezing/crashing
  * the PS3 HD EN version 1.00 is inconsistent despite doing the same setup for the zip effect, leading to more crashes
  * doing the zip with not enough space surrounding snake leads to crashes, notably if snake touches the wall in t-pose state the game instantly freezes
==== Routing Notes====
===for Very Easy===
  * to grab an empty magazine, best to empty the mag on the roof guard in the ocelot unit fight
  * to grab the one additional needed food item, you can knife the snake in the cave going to the pain in the "vent" part

==== Further things to look into====
  * There are other positions to successfully launch Snake from (see compilation [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVq3b45pBvc|here]])
  * cancelling the fall damage would be ideal to not miss the timing when to roll
