How to Heal in Metal Gear Solid Delta Snake Eater
Healing in Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is more complex than most action games. Snake recovers health over time using stamina, but you’ll also need to manage wounds, eat food, and sometimes use rare medical items.
Healing Through Stamina
Snake has two bars: a short Health bar and a longer Stamina bar.
Damage slowly regenerates into health as long as you maintain stamina.
Eat food (rations, animals, plants) to keep stamina high.
If stamina is too low, Snake will not regenerate health.
Major wounds like bullet injuries, poisoning, or broken bones reduce stamina and block natural healing. Use medical supplies or herbs to cure these before relying on stamina recovery.
Healing Quickly With Items
Life Medicine (LF MED) is the main instant-heal item.
Found by exploring, looting buildings, or shaking down guards.
You can carry up to 10 at a time.
Equip it from the Items menu and press the confirmation button (A on Xbox, X on PlayStation) to restore health instantly.
Because Life Medicine is rare, save it for emergencies such as boss fights or long combat encounters.
Healing with Radio Frequencies
Some enemies can reveal healing radio frequencies during interrogation.
These play special “relaxing” music that restores stamina, which in turn regenerates health.
Codes vary depending on your difficulty and playthrough, and effects only trigger once per run.
Final Blurb
To heal in Metal Gear Solid Delta, keep stamina high by eating food, cure serious wounds with supplies, and save Life Medicine for emergencies. Stamina is the foundation of Snake’s regeneration, so managing it properly is just as important as avoiding damage.
