Metal Gear Solid Delta Snake Eater – Everything About Fox Hunt

During the Tokyo Game Show, the Fox Hunt which is a multiplayer game mode in Metal Gear Solid Delta Snake Eater was revealed along with clips of gameplay, UI, and the release date. The live stream was unfortunately missing the caption which had made many viewers wondering what to expect in Fox Hunt.

The objectives, gameplay, how to unlock new character skins and AT-Camo was shown in the live stream. For all fairness, the cross-platform matchmaking will not be supported. If you have missed it, then do not fret as we have mentioned and explained everything in this post.

Metal Gear Solid Delta Snake Eater Fox Hunt Objective & Gameplay Expectation?

First and foremost, the Fox Hunt will be launched on October 30th 2025. According to the image shown above, this will be the loading screen when players have accepted the Fox Hunt and timer will be going down. There will be 12 players who can participate in a match and 2 players can form a team. This concludes that there would be total of 6 teams in a map.

The name of the players will be shown under the character portrait. The character skin which you have equipped will be shown in the loading screen. The animal rank will be shown in your portrait to let others know who will be the bigger threat.

Gameplay And Objective

There are 2 game modes that are selected randomly. The Survival Capture mode allows players to capture the green Kerotan. Each team should have 2 Kerotan or specifically, each players must possess a Kerotan to avoid elimination.

The Fox Hunt has infinite Respawn system, however, all the items in your possession will be dropped upon death. This makes the game much more tactical rather than team deathmatch.

When they enter the map, they will not have any weapon as shown in the image below. Instead they will have a Knife which makes it important to scavenge the weapons and item quickly and stealthily. There will be weapons of different rarity. Players can even ping in the game to notify each other. Keep a lookout for your teammates HP bar which will be shown next to yours.

According to the image shown above, the minimap will be given. In the minimap, the general location of the Keraton will be marked in green circle. Under the minimap, the number of players alive in the map will be shown along with the objective, i.e., the number of Kerotan available.

As shown, the Backpack will have limited inventory space. So, players can choose to store certain items or even multiple Kerotans in their backpack to sabotage others to force them to fight and reveal their locations. You can even drop Kerotan or any other items for your teammate.

The second mode will be more of a control zone or defend the area type of objective where players can activate the Ga-Ko to create a zone. The number of Ga-Ko per phase will differ. Your objective would be to stay inside the yellow protected zone activated by Ga-Ko until the timer runs out. Multiple teams can share a single Ga-ko zone to avoid elimination.

Game Phase

There are total of Four Game Phases. Each Phase will have a timer shown on the top of the screen. If any player or team who do not possess the Keraton each will be eliminated. At each Phase, teams will be eliminated.

• Phase 1– Team elimination x1.
• Phase 2– Team elimination x2.
• Phase 3– Team elimination x1.
• Phase 4– Team elimination x1.

Ability

Players will have unique ability known as Naked Sense which consumes Stamina to activate. As the Naked Sense consumes Stamina quickly, rations can be used to fill up the Stamina bar. Naked Sense can reveal the items, objective, rations, or even enemies through walls. It also marks enemies in your mini-map.

When enemies are using Naked Sense, the Exclamation icon will appear on top of your head. To avoid Naked Sense, players are required to equip AT-Camo quickly. Even if you are in AT-Camo, when Naked Sense will be active; make sure that you do not perform actions to avoid making any sound.

Rewards

After completing the FOX HUNT, you will obtain reward boxes that might contain character skins, Radio Presets, taunts/poses, AT- Camo variations.

Certain Mask and Suits have bonus Life Regeneration and Stamina Recovery passive that can be viewed in your Loadout screen. The skins can only be obtained by grinding and playing through the game as there would be no in-game purchase option. This assures fairness to all players.
