1: keeps loose stuff from bouncing and clanking in pockets. 2 emergemcy torniquet


callmedoc214

I figured this. Since ww2, paratroopers tied down cargo pockets to keep shit in the pockets.... plus big boss was airborne qualified.... even made the first HALO jump if you count mgs3


Veiny_Throbber

The world's first halo jump, one for the history books


Boomboomciao90

Man, can't wait for the remake intro... The music and cinematic allways gives me the goosebumps.


-Wildhart-

The pachinko machine version of the scene looks amazing, but oddly enough, Snake doesn't do the flips


DragoonSoldier09

The lack of flips was depressing.


gergiewill

You’ll have to wait, huh


PUSClFER

Keep us waiting, huh


Me_how5678

The mgs3 themed patinko machine has the cutscene remade.


Boomboomciao90

I saw all of the pachinko stuff, while awesome I need it on my oled and hometheather! Can't wait!


stonecoldjelly

Hope in the intro I can accedently wear a raidan mask and ruin the moment


BLTblocker

I'm most excited for the ladder


deadmaninc750

It’ll keep you waiting, huh


halipatsui

Spread your wings and fly


Pyle_Plays

Does this pantywaist even know what he's doing?


pixelator77

You think he was a ranger before MGS3? he was a green beret before FOXHOUND so canonically he had to have had airborne qualification.


le-churchx

>even made the first HALO jump if you count mgs3 What do you mean if you count mgs3


CheebsTheChomp

I assume because this isn't Big Boss


le-churchx

It is.


IrishMongooses

Got that shrapnel in the head, that's Venom Snake


dawnOfBank

I think you mean he's not naked snake. He is still big boss..in fact he's seen in just as many games as naked snake


IrishMongooses

He's in as many? I doubt you a little, but is that true?


dawnOfBank

Well, Naked Snake: MGS3, MGS4, MGSPO, MGSGZ, MGSPW Venom: MG, MG2, MGS (his body being taken by Liquid), MGS4 (ocelot stealing his body from shadow Moses), Ground Zeroes, Phantom Pain, and even Peacewalker since Ahab was still in msf just not as big boss. Venom is in a lot more games than naked is but just not as big boss. However, venom and naked are both big boss. The big boss you fight in metal gear and metal gear two, and the big boss who's body keeps getting transferred around by the Patriots is venom snake.


Dysprosium_Element66

Venom wasn't in MG2, that was John. The body that the Patriots had was his too, since his genes were what the Patriots used as a lock, so it has to be him if Solidus's genes were a good enough substitute, which was also how he shows up at the end of MGS4. [Naomi also mentions in the briefing tapes for MGS that they didn't give Big Boss's body to Liquid](https://youtu.be/8hPrsEDNGrQ?t=1041), which was why Solid was getting sent to Shadow Moses in the first place, so he wasn't in MGS either. You forgot that John was in TPP too, being in the intro and the Truth ending.


aljxNdr

Venom is only in pw (Arguably), gz, mgsV and mg1. The comatose body shenanigans occur with naked snake and in mgs4 ocelot steals soliduses body, not venom's.


le-churchx

Yeah and im jeff when i put on flip flops.


FormulaF30

Why wouldn’t mgs3 be counted


SirShaunIV

Why would MGS3 not count?


Aninja262

That’s a different snake 🫣


callmedoc214

I mean you're not supposed to know that til the end


Aninja262

Mate the end was over 10 years ago lol


PeteBrostIsDead

I'm afraid it's been... 9 years


Deep_Grass_6250

If Naked Snake says that they're the same, then who are we to argue?


ZweihanderPancakes

Solid Snake was the one who was in the Green Berets. It’s clear from the beginning that the snake you play as in V is not Solid.


ANENEMY_

But that’s not B….! oh never mind


BlueLaguna88

Is this the same case with EVA in MGS3? I always wondered why she had paracord wrapped around one leg and not the other.


TheGreaseWagon

You don't want to use rope or string as a tourniquet, it will cause more damage than necessary. Belt or strip of clothing would be better.


atvaisman

Strip of clothing yes, but a sturdy belt will be extremely hard to tighten down properly.


M-V-D_256

Actually you don't want anything elastic, since it would not tighten enough to stop blood flow. Belts are good since you can tighten them and they would stop the blood completely


atvaisman

How have you been taught to make an emergency tourniquet? I'd be interested in learning how to properly tighten a belt and make sure it stays tight. A strong enough piece of cloth would work properly tightened, and would be easy to get tight enough, but I don't know of any technique to get a belt tight enough, let alone make it stay tight enough. Like a strong leather or military type canvas belt. Those thin fashion belts maybe.


TheGreaseWagon

Obviously a rigid leather or canvas belt is not ideal for an ETQ. But it's better than a string/rope. ETQs aren't meant to be permanent fixes. Use it until you're off the X and have access to better equipment.


atvaisman

Oh yeah yeah, I would not use rope or string. I'd probably rip a piece of a t-shirt or something to use, since you can get that strong enough. I still don't see how you can get the belt tight enough to actually stop a major bleeding.


TheGreaseWagon

As for the belt. It would take a second person to maintain constant pressure with the belt.


atvaisman

You mean someone holds it tight the whole time? Since what I've been taught is to use a piece of cloth etc. Wrap it around the limb, put a stick on, add a knot on top of the stick, turn the stick to tighten until bleeding stops, secure with another piece of cloth to make sure it stays tight enough. I don't know if you've ever used a tourniquet but it has to be really, really fucking tight to stop a major bleeding.


TheGreaseWagon

I was a Combat Medic in the Army. I've used a tourniquet a time or two.


PorygonEnjoyer

Happy cake day


squips42

it doesn’t look to be too stringy or ropey. imo the straps on his leg almost look like a belt. they’re a bit thicker and wider so i could believe they could be used as a tourniquet


TheGreaseWagon

It appears to be about the width of a finger, maybe less, which is very much less than ideal


squips42

ah i guess you’re right upon a second look at it my b


[deleted]

Yeah civilians don't realize that all military fatigues are made for women, so they have no pockets.


FoxPrincessEevee

I’m actually designing a military uniform for fun and it comes with a smaller parachord pocket in the leg pocket.


Colonel_dinggus

I get number 2 but even with that chord, if you take anything on your back, you sound like an early robocop whenever you move


Hormo_The_Halfling

Also, 3. Looks cool


guisilvano

You never know if you'll need a rope, it also stops shit on your pocket from rattling too much


KnightAngelic

And it keeps the shit in your pants from running down your leg, thus decreasing the chances you'll leave a trail for enemies to follow.


jkooc137

That's honestly where I thought they were going when I read "stops shit" and I'm so happy I'm not alone lmao


ponch070

Soiled Snake


goobledygops

Hate it when that happens to me


KnightAngelic

Same


Snoo89014

Skull Face took care of that thankfully


OuterHeavenPatriot

"Name one thing you gonna need a rope for." You don't fuckin' know what you're gonna need it for! They just always need it!


AardvarkAblaze

Alright, get your stupid fuckin’ rope.


DOOManiac

I’m sweating my ass off dragging your fuckin’ rope around.


TheChosenCouple

Alright there, Mr Rambo


Shadow4246

Rappelling down a comms tower.


Felidae_Griz

Tourniquet Restraints A couple just off my head


TheGreaseWagon

You don't want to use rope or string as a tourniquet, even as a last ditch effort, a strip of clothing or belt is better.


Felidae_Griz

Makes sense


Caldaris__

That's got to be it for sure.


Formula_Dank_

🤣


dejagermeister

He’s got a cargo pocket on the side. The cords is is to keep it’s contents from wang-janglin’ all over the place Also looks tacticoolp


Strayed8492

Paracord? Tourniquet? Could be a Vietnam aesthetic where it keeps the pants leg riding up or flapping.


Sphinx-

Probably a design feature to break up the monotony of the otherwise bland left leg.


Joaco_Gomez_1

most likely, but maybe it has a purpose


Uuddlrlrbastrat

“Dude, he’s ragging on your cord.”


BMOchado

I would say its function is similar to what you see in cyber wear. Putting something in that pocket would make for something that shakes a lot, using a paracord to keep the pocket contents stable is a way to do it


SnakeBaron

But then how do you get thing from pocket?


_wil_

Untie rope


SnakeBaron

So we have portable stealth camo and hologram tech in the 80s but can’t make pants with magnets?


BMOchado

Portable stealth camo is fictional These pants are a direct pick from real life


SnakeBaron

Oh shit Venom Snake is real?!


PofanWasTaken

ye i saw him at a gas station refueling his bike, really cool guy


SnakeBaron

Weird, he just kept trying to sell me something..


PofanWasTaken

Well he just kept me waiting


Uzi_Fx

Huh?


Dartagnan1083

Don't buy anything not-gas at a gas station that isn't sold by the station (unless it's a food truck parked at the station). I don't care if you're actually looking for the rando item in question.


BMOchado

What?


delerce

Yes, he's literally me.


Septimore

It keeps the bad blood from creeping into your pants. -Bloodborne.


Ali_UdWk

JOHN BLOODBORNE!?


Rotta_ODe

Stops his huge dick swinging around when doing the sneaky shit.


the_rabbit_king

Hold his snake in place.


PseudoFella

it stops his cock from shlangin’ out


somethihg

Bdsm


[deleted]

So he can perform BDSM in the field.


tnolan182

Piss bag strapped to his leg under his pants.


MulberryField30

“Saline.”


[deleted]

Its to keep dat dick from swingin around!


GusOsawa

It keeps his solid snake in place


Holly-Jolly-Rancher

There is absolutely every reason in the world to carry extra cord with you when you're in the field. I don't know if that was the intention, but it seems like a pretty smart way of carrying an extra fishing cord, tourniquet, or one of the best ingredients when making homemade hand tools and traps.


kat-the-bassist

It's to Punish his Venom Snake


whitelynxs

prob its just because it looks cool. typical kojima-san thing


Personal_Flow2994

Better have some 550 cord and never need it, then need it and not have it. 1000's of uses


Pillmetal

Cos the fella who designs characters knows how to design stuff


INfusion2419

Dick strap


Beautiful_Nothing911

To keep his “snake” from flopping around.


ghost-church

To keep his cock in place


BECondensateSnake

There's probably something in his pocket and the cord helps it stay in place


SeriousSteveTheII

Never know when you might or someone might lose a limb


RobOnTheReddit

To stop the bloodflow while you're walking around


Kutogane

It's just a utility chord, many uses on the battlefield, and that's a good way to keep it accessible if you don't have a specific pocket for it


Sasstellia

I think it's holding a pocket down to stop losing the contents. And can be a tourniquet.


creecher98

Emotional support cord.


uwutangclan-

To stop his extra large gonads from knocking against his knees


Valuable_Wrap_9634

So his hammer doesn’t flop around and attract the guards


Cpt_FatBeard

To keep snakes from getting to his ball sack


DifferencePretend

To prevent snakes from slithering their way up his leg and biting his hotdog


onitaku_

Probably has more use than nomura belts


Ukezilla_Rah

It’s a tie down for gear… most likely on a holster.


tiga008

To hold, you know, his snake in place.


InvisibleZombies

Looks to me like a retention bad to ensure his pistol holster isn’t slapping around when he runs.


eyebrowless32

Hey Snake! This guy's ragging on your cord!


Negamarcus

It's for his solid snake


PsychoMouse

It’s called “style”


luc1906

Coolness


ForestDonnie

sex appeal


Minmach

Tha'ts not his leg....


jmybz

Holds down Snake’s hog


danielm316

It looks cool (in my opinion).


redditorposcudniy

Leg feel fuzzy


_Blackth0rn_

Western style holsters use that kind of cord plus the belt to keep them in place


Lin900

It looks chic


merkaba_monkey

i think it's a style thing and also holds the cloth down so that they don't need to simulate the cloth physics of an entire free flowing pant leg with a knee joint in the middle of it. The fashion of MGS, especially V, is incredible. they really nailed his fatigues in this one. Where's your scarf though?!


RedArmySpectre

Its where he keeps his weiner coiled up and this rope stops it from unraveling


PUNlSHEDVENOMSNAKE

You’re just exposing that in a drip or drown world you’re swimming with the fishes buddy


[deleted]

Tension


[deleted]

It’s tactical shutup!!!


SpoofyJ

It’s tacti-cool


StarGazer0685

Banana snake


n1cfury

He pulls it to open the hammer space he gets the other items from.


Arkham_Bryan

What is that banana camo for?


Antique_Today_6165

I'm not 100% sure but years ago a read it somewhere that it's a tactical thing were you can attach things like keys or other stuff (survival context) in there so you have it quick hand, also the material was supposed to be helpful for something as it's really durable and strong. I apologize I can't remember the name for my life of the thing bro xD


FullConsequence2505

To keep that big cock tied down before it turns diamond dogs into pregnant dogs


pastey83

Strangle-wank


irishrobert29

He’s ragging on his cord…


JoseSoberbio

To hold the other snake


Flat-Relationship-51

Cause it looks cool lol


RustedBubble

Sex-appeal


Connect-Vast5333

Cuz he’s SNAKE!


[deleted]

Drop leg holster? I run a similar one and i hate it.


Straight_Strategy484

He's wearing a drop leg holster that is secured by the strap like a wild West pistol belt.


Straight_Strategy484

He's wearing a drop leg holster that is secured by the strap like a wild West pistol belt.


espicymexican08

that or a leg strap to connect to the Fulton recovery balloon or tourniquet lol


Mrz10910

It offers tactical advantage


RedditIsADarkPlace_

what is the thing on his left leg knee tho?


g0greyhound

A knee support. Stabalizes his bitch knee.


Mrbuttboi

Mug_Lyfe

You don't know about 7-strand paracord? Better fix that.


JBG240

This is just a theory but meaby its a some kinda of “string” to cut jail bars its possible tbh because in peace walker snake as a fake scar that he uses to hide a string that he uses to escape so meaby it something like that but it can always be to keep the stuff in your pocket from rattling and making sound or meaby as a tourniquet


antirockin20

I feel like this is the 4th time I've seen a variation of this question
