Metal Gear Solid Delta How to Interrogate
Interrogation in Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is one of the best ways to gather intelligence without relying only on radios or trial-and-error. By sneaking close and using CQC, you can extract patrol routes, hidden items, and even secret radio frequencies from guards.
How to Get in Range
Use Stalking Mode (LB/L1). Snake moves slower, footsteps are silent, and the screen gets a black border.
Approach guards from behind. If they notice you, the chance to interrogate is lost.
Stay in stalking mode until you initiate CQC to avoid alerting them.
How to Grab and Interrogate
Once close enough, hold RT/R2 to grab an enemy in CQC.
With the enemy held, press the Left Stick to threaten and start interrogation.
You can repeat threats multiple times. Some guards only reveal useful information after several presses.
Be careful not to move the stick while grabbing, or you might throw the guard instead of interrogating them.
What You Can Learn
Interrogations give varied intel depending on the guard and location.
Enemy patrol routes
Navigation tips for the current area
Locations of items, warehouses, or supplies
Hints about bosses and hazards
Unique radio signals
Radio Frequencies from Interrogation
Certain guards reveal radio codes that can be entered manually from the radio menu. These include:
Healing Frequencies – Relaxing music that restores stamina. Codes can be reused across playthroughs, though effects only trigger once per run.
Air Support Codes – Lets you call in air strikes in specific outdoor areas. Must be learned in your current playthrough. Once used, they cannot be reused.
Abort Codes – Calls off pursuers if Snake is being hunted after detection.
Facility Access Codes – Unlock certain electronic doors earlier than usual.
Final Blurb
Interrogating guards in Metal Gear Solid Delta is one of the most effective ways to gather intel. Use stalking to sneak into range, CQC to grab, and repeated threats to learn patrols, hidden items, and rare radio codes that can change how you approach missions.
