  Snake's customized .45 caliber pistol. A reliable and powerful sidearm for both lethal and non-lethal (via tranquilizer darts) engagements.
• AK-47: Assault Rifle
  A common assault rifle carried by Soviet soldiers in the region. Effective in open combat but noisy, compromising stealth.
• SVD Dragunov: Sniper Rifle

  An integral part of the Close Quarters Combat system, used for silent takedowns, interrogations, and as a last resort in combat.

• Standard Firearms: Various (Pistols, Rifles, SMGs, Shotguns, Sniper Rifles, LMGs)
  Conventional weapons found and used by both FND and guerrilla forces. Extensive customization with mods, scopes, and ammo types (Soft-Target, Armor-Piercing, etc.).
• Resolver Weapons: Unique/Gadget
  Improvised weapons with powerful, often unique functions. Examples: Tostador (Flamethrower), Zeusito (EMP), Discos Locos (CD Launcher). Crafted at workbenches using Uranium.
• Supremo Backpacks: Gadget/Ability (Ultimate)
  Backpacks granting powerful, tactical ultimate abilities on a cooldown. Examples: Exterminador (Homing Rockets), Volta (EMP Shockwave), Triador (See through walls and allow La Varita to shoot through). Each has custom gadget slots and mods.
• Bows: Ranged (Stealth)
  Silent ranged weapons ideal for stealthy takedowns. Different arrow types (standard, explosive) can be crafted and used.
• Melee Weapons: Melee
  Used for close-quarters combat and stealth takedowns. Often tied to gear perks.

• Camouflage Uniforms: Instead of armor, Snake's defense is his stealth. Players collect a variety of camouflage uniforms (e.g., Tiger Stripe, Leaf, Water) that must be equipped to match the current environment, increasing the 'Camo Index' and making Snake harder to see.

• Camouflage Uniforms: A key gameplay mechanic. Players can access a menu at any time to switch Snake's uniform to match their surroundings (trees, grass, rock, water) to increase their stealth effectiveness.
• Face Paint: Similar to uniforms, players can apply various face paints (e.g., Black, Splitter, Woodland) to further increase their Camo Index.

• Gear Outfits: Modular system where players equip headwear, upper body, lower body, foot, and wrist gear pieces. Appearance of each piece is distinct and contributes to the overall look. Full gear sets offer themed appearances.
• Cosmetic Outfits: Full body outfits that change Dani's appearance completely. Do not affect gear stats or perks. Acquired through editions, progression, or store.

Ability progression is tied to collected Gear pieces and weapon modifications rather than traditional skill trees tied to player XP. Players increase their rank by earning XP, which unlocks access to better gear and weapons from vendors. Resolver weapons and Supremo backpacks provide unique, powerful active abilities and are crafted/upgraded at workbenches using gathered resources like Depleted Uranium.

• OFFICIAL AND EXTRAPOLATED SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. This information is based on the official PC specifications from Konami, adapted to the requested JSON structure. As a ground-up remake in Unreal Engine 5, the requirements are significant, particularly the GPU, with an RTX card being the minimum. Laptop and future-generation GPU listings are extrapolated based on performance benchmarks.
• Laptop Performance Note: Laptop versions of the listed desktop GPUs require comparable performance, which is highly dependent on the laptop's TGP (Total Graphics Power) and thermal design. For a visually dense game like MGS Delta, a laptop with a powerful CPU and a well-cooled, high-TGP GPU is crucial for a stable and immersive experience in the jungle environments.
• Laptop Consideration: G P U T G P: A high TGP is essential to prevent GPU throttling and maintain a consistent framerate while rendering the detailed foliage, lighting, and effects of the Unreal Engine 5 world.
• Laptop Consideration: Cooling Thermals: Unreal Engine 5 can heavily tax both the CPU and GPU. A robust cooling system is necessary to prevent thermal throttling during long gameplay sessions and graphically demanding cutscenes.
• Laptop Consideration: C P U Power Limits: A strong CPU with good power delivery is important for handling the game's world streaming, physics, and AI without creating a bottleneck for the GPU.
• Laptop Consideration: M U X Switch Optimus: A MUX switch or NVIDIA Advanced Optimus is highly recommended to minimize system latency and ensure the smoothest possible gameplay, which is important for the game's stealth and CQC mechanics.
• Optimization Detail: Upscaling Tech: As a modern Unreal Engine 5 title, the game is expected to support the latest versions of NVIDIA DLSS, AMD FSR, and Intel XeSS to help achieve higher framerates, especially at 1440p and 4K resolutions.
• Optimization Detail: Key Settings Impact: Performance will be heavily impacted by settings related to Unreal Engine 5's features, such as Lumen (Global Illumination and Reflections), Nanite (virtualized geometry), and Virtual Shadow Maps. The dense jungle environment will be particularly demanding.
• Game Name: Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater

• Official system requirements from Ubisoft. Performance can vary depending on specific hardware, settings, and background applications. An SSD is strongly recommended for optimal performance, especially with the HD Texture Pack, which requires 12GB of VRAM. For 4K configurations, 16GB of VRAM is recommended.
• Laptop Performance Note: Laptop models of listed desktop GPUs may work if their performance is comparable. Performance on laptops is also heavily influenced by cooling and the GPU's TGP. The estimated laptop specs below are approximate and reflect performance tiers. Modern laptop GPUs (RTX 30/40 Series and beyond) will comfortably exceed the original recommended desktop specs.
• Laptop Consideration: G P U T G P: Higher TGP in a laptop GPU generally correlates with better sustained performance.
• Laptop Consideration: Cooling Thermals: Good cooling is essential to prevent thermal throttling during demanding gameplay.
• Laptop Consideration: C P U Power Limits: Laptops with higher CPU power limits can maintain boost clocks longer.
• Laptop Consideration: M U X Switch Optimus: Using a MUX switch or ensuring the dedicated GPU is active is recommended for better framerates.
• Optimization Detail: Upscaling Tech: Supports AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR).
• Optimization Detail: Key Settings Impact: Texture Quality, Shadow Quality, Volumetric Clouds, and Environmental Detail, as well as Ray Tracing, heavily impact performance.
