Background
Solid Snake, real name David, was a former spy, special operations soldier, and mercenary. A product of the Les Enfants Terribles project, Snake was a clone of world-renowned soldier Big Boss, along with his brothers Liquid Snake and Solidus Snake. Initially a Green Beret, Snake was later inducted into the High-Tech Special Forces Unit FOXHOUND in the mid-1990s while it was commanded by Big Boss. Repeatedly tasked with disarming and destroying the latest incarnation of Metal Gear, a bipedal nuclear weapon-armed tank, Snake would thrice avert potential nuclear catastrophe, becoming a famed war hero.

Snake is a member of FOXHOUND, which is known as the world's most advanced black ops unit and during his time there he mastered various skills including various paratrooper techniques, underwater invasion techniques, on ground sneaking techniques, jungle and desert survival, tailing, detonating, wireless communication, seizing and reusing enemy weaponry, information collecting, various martial arts techniques, emergency medical operations, linguistics and technology, and generally anything need for high tech special forces units[2]. As a full on newbie rookie Snake infiltrated the entire base "Outer Heaven" filled with trained soldiers and combat experts, while he unknowingly went into a base run by his own boss running the mission who purposefully put a rookie on this mission just cause he thought Snake would fail, purposefully sabotaging his mission and giving away Snake's position during this mission, yet Snake still managed to infiltrate this base.

Powers and Abilities
Standard Equipment
- SOCOM: The MK23 SOCOM is a .45ACP caliber semi-automatic pistol that can be found in the back of a truck at the Helipad or inside of the Tank Hangar, it comes with a pre-attached laser aiming module. Since its debut in Metal Gear Solid, the SOCOM has become one of Solid Snake's signature weapons. It is the first gun available to the player and is ideal for carefully placed shots with the help of the laser aiming module. Later on in the game, a suppressor can be found in the room on the ground floor of the Tank Hangar after finding Donald Anderson.
- FASMAS: A fully automatic assault rifle with a fast 1000 rounds per minute rate of fire and holding 25 bullets per magazine. It is the standard weapon of the Genome Soldiers, and used by both Liquid Snake and Solid Snake. The FAMAS can be found in the Armory after the battle with Revolver Ocelot after acquiring a Level 2 security card, which is guarded by infra-red lasers. The last few rounds have extra strength, thus causing more damage. This weapon is best used in gunfights against alert enemies or bosses as this weapon is not suppressed. It is not available in Metal Gear Solid: Integral's "Very Easy Mode", since the player starts with an infinite MP5.
- PSG-1: Semi-automatic sniper rifle holding 5 rounds per magazine and is a symbolic weapon of Sniper Wolf. It can also be used by Snake if a sniping approach is desired against Sniper Wolf and holds 5 rounds per magazine. The scoped view of the weapon tends to be unstable unless Diazepam is taken. Sniper Wolf's PSG-1 has a laser beam for targeting.
- Stinger: A man-portable surface-to-air missile launcher that can take out targets that emit heat signatures it is primarily used in the battles against the Hind and Metal Gear REX. This can also be used to take out cameras since chaff grenades only provide protection momentarily against them. Mobility is lost when deployed.
- Nikita: A remote controlled missile that travels at ground level with a low velocity. Snake uses it to ruin the control panel that is connected to the electrified floor that is preventing him from reaching Hal Emmerich's lab. It can be used in the second battle as an alternative weapon against Sniper Wolf so that Snake can attack from a safe location. The player can use the missile's own CCD camera to guide the missile from its view by looking in first person rather than the overview as well. Can be shot down by gun cameras.
- MP5SD: A silenced submachine gun with 30 rounds per magazine that reportedly can hold a maximum of 999 bullets but has unlimited ammunition. Mistaken as an assault rifle in the game description although it functions like one. An ideal general purpose weapon against the enemy forces in the game against Genome Soldiers and against some bosses, making it superior to the SOCOM. Note that this weapon is only available in Metal Gear Solid: Integral, which is only available in Japan in its PlayStation iteration and on the PC elsewhere, when selecting the (exclusive to Integral) Very Easy difficulty setting. It was also available on the PC demo of said version.
- M9: A non-lethal conversion of the 92FS Snake uses in Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake. Only available in The Twin Snakes and Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty.
- PSG-1T: A non-lethal version of the PSG-1.
- Chaff Grenade: Temporarily disables nearby electrical equipment such as security cameras. Also useful in boss battles where the enemy is mechanical (Raven's M1 Abrams Tank, Gray Fox, Metal Gear REX, etc.). It also has a double-edged sword effect by disabling Snake's radar as well upon explosion so it must be used with caution. Does not go into Alert mode when it explodes.
- Claymore Mine: Mines that are set off by a proximity sensor and are hidden from the naked eye by stealth technology and must be detected by using a mine detector or thermal goggles. They can only be safely disarmed and collected by being crawling over them when set, as they explode if the player is within its range. This weapon is also used quite often throughout the Metal Gear series and ideal against Vulcan Raven as a frontal assault is ill-advised.
- Grenades: Grenades that explodes 5 seconds after pulling the pin regardless if thrown or not. Triggers alert mode upon explosion.
- Stun Grenade: Flash-bang grenades used to disorient the enemy. Triggers alert mode upon explosion. Knocks out Meryl in one go during the battle against Psycho Mantis if regular melee attacks are not preferred.
- Bandage: A bandage is a piece of material used either to support a medical device such as a dressing or splint, or on its own to provide support to the body; they can also be used to restrict a part of the body, such as slowing the flow of blood during heavy bleeding.
- Book: A type of magazine that has girlie pictures. Can be used to distract the enemy by placing it on the ground. Is not available in the original game. Depicts Alexandra Roivas from Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem on the cover as well as the page centerfolds.
- Dog Tag: Dog tags are identification tags worn by military personnel. They are often worn around the neck. Their primary purpose is the identification of the wounded or dead as a result of battle. They are usually worn in pairs so that, in the event that a casualty cannot be moved, one tag can be collected while the other remains with the body. They are named because their function is similar to that of the permit on a pet dog's collar. Dog tags are approximately 5 cm in size and are often made of either aluminum or stainless steel. The identification includes the owner's full name, their date of birth, their gender, their blood type, the branch of the military they served under, their rank, their serial number, and their religion.
- Empty Magazine: A spent ammunition magazine. Can be used to distract the enemy by throwing it. Is not available in the original game.
Notable Techniques
- Close Quarters Battle: Close Quarters Battle (CQB) is a close quarters fighting style that centers around using hand to hand combat and small arms for limited space combat. The weapons used in CQB include stun grenades, hand grenades, submachine guns, pistols, and knives. Techniques in CQB includes hitting an enemy with a combo of punches and kicks, throwing an enemy on their back after grabbing them, placing them into a chock hold, and knocking them down by rolling into them.
Other
Standard Tactics: Snake opts for stealth based combat; while he is fully capable of taking an opponent on one on one, he will always use his surroundings and stealth to get the surprise attack on opponent, unless put in a situation where he has to fight an opponent. When put in these moments he will normally use whatever he has in his arsenal to the best of his ability, even utilizing grenades to take out a tank. He will also normally go for non-lethal weapons such as the tranquilizer gun or smoke grenades to take out his targets.
Weaknesses: The Radar won't be usable in an area with strong harmonic resonance. If someone is able to control the nanomachines within him, they can force him to not be able to use his weapons. Snake has an addiction to cigarettes to the point that when he uses them it damages his health slowly. The Night-Vision goggles will not work in complete darkness since it requires light to amplify. Snake suffers from PTSD, though it doesn't seem to affect him in the middle of battle.
Note: Snake, Gray Fox, and Liquid are not assumed to scale to the potency of the Metal Gears from tanking their explosions as they were not in the epicenter, and Gray Fox/Liquid are in a protective cockpit, meaning they more then likely didn't take the full brunt of the explosion. Along with this, the self-destruction of Metal Gear Rex from a large distance away nearly knocked Snake out while Liquid was perfectly fine, supporting that Liquid didn't take the full brunt of the explosion.
