8 Video Games That Reward You For Showing Mercy
6. Infinite Ammo - Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriots
Hideo Kojima sure did love to use the Metal Gear series to teach us that killing is wrong, and while it would be easy to wax lyrical on how Snake Eater makes the player literally witness every death they've caused in a boss battle with The Sorrow, today we're going to talk about a weird situation in which a more peaceful run actually ends up rewarding players with a devastating bit of killing kit.
In Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriots, players are given multiple tools in order to make it through sections without killing a single soul, V-Ring Ammo, stun grenades, tranquilizer darts, and of course that old man kung-fu that Coughing Snake over here loves to bust out. If you can make it through the entire game without sending anyone to the big man in the sky, you'll be rewarded with...
The Infinite Ammo Bandanna.
What an odd reward right?
Well, it will feel less so for those who actually went through the game in this manner, because in some places it's a right slog, so now the thought of being able to murder everything with a pulse in short order really is quite appealing. Mercy leading to murder. Brilliant.
