MGS 5 (opens in new tab) has been out for months, but we’re still discovering inventive new ways to mess with its AI soldiers. Apparently you don’t need a labyrinth of inflatable Big Boss dummies (opens in new tab) to drive enemy troops bonkers – all you need is a single smoke grenade:
My favorite part is how all the other soldiers turn to look at their panicked comrade, clearly wondering what the hell is wrong with him.
At first I thought Snake had dropped the grenade in the walker itself, causing its pilot to freak out – his cloned son does manage to toss a bunch of frag grenades into a tiny tank hatch two decades later, so they clearly have a talent for this sort of thing. But then you can see the grenade lying on the ground when Snake sneaks up to Fulton the extraction target, so I guess it’s just standard operating procedure to start cursing and running around in circles in response to smoke inhalation.
