 +**Q: How does the Nuke Bldg skip work?**
 +
 +**A:** Due to how animations work in the MGS2 engine, you can move Snake through the door and avoid crawling underneath the door. Equip a weapon (ideally the M9 on Very Easy or Easy, the Chaff or the Book), crouch by the door, and begin moving in the opposite direction of the door. While moving, quickly unequip and re-equip the weapon to move past the door. This allows you to skip the Colonel Campbell call, saving about 7 seconds.

 +**Q: How does the prison skip work?**
 +
 +**A:** When exiting the prison, Johnny is supposed to be knocked out in some way or back in the bathroom through an unskippable cutscene. However, if you pick up the gear with a very precise roll, a bonk setup with a more lenient roll, or throw Johnny to the ground and immediately exit the room and re-enter the room, you will skip a story flag. This story flag skip allows you to avoid the cutscene and codec at Meryl's bloodstain in the Underground Passage
 +
 +**Q: How does the girder glitch work?**
 +
 +**A:** By placing Snake in a particular position next to the girder, the game thinks Snake is on the opposite side where he can walk when in reality he is not. This causes Snake to fall to the bottom, saving time.
