DISC 1: SUBSISTENCE - LIFE GAUGE & CAMOUFLAGE
LIFE GAUGE
When Snake's LIFE is reduced by enemy attacks, you can hide and wait for it to recover naturally, save the game and take a break, or take some LIFE medicine.
Recovery
Snake's LIFE will recover naturally over time. The speed of recovery depends on how full the Stamina Gauge is; higher stamina leads to faster recovery. LIFE will also recover more quickly when Snake is in a crouching or prone position.
Wounds
If Snake falls from a high place or is hit by a powerful attack, he will be wounded. When wounded, a red meter will be displayed in the LIFE Gauge. Select "CURE" from the Survival Viewer to treat the wounds.
Poison/Disease
During the mission, Snake may be poisoned or become sick. Leaving poison untreated will cause the LIFE Gauge to decrease, while leaving colds or leeches untreated will drain the Stamina Gauge. Select "CURE" from the Survival Viewer to treat these conditions.
Rest
Saving the game and quitting for a while will give Snake a chance to get some rest. LIFE
