Ladder Zip by Apel
Food Zip to skip the ladder by Apel
done on RPCS3
Recreation on actual hardware: PS3 Super Slim - JP PSN HD version
Pre-requisites
- Equip the DMIC, any grenade, any pistol and the knife, in this order
- Go to the area you want to do the zip in and save the game
- Hard reset
- (Hard reset on actual PS3 hardware 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 and pause the game
- Equip the magazine and the DMIC, unpause, don't let go of forward
- (This part is not fully consistent afaik) 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
Warning
- It's technically multisegment only because doing food zips in a full game run is extremely inconsistent
- it's random and may crash your game
