Metal Gear Solid V: 20 Things You Didn't Know You Could Do

6. Disarm Guards In One Quick Animation

You can get too used to sprinting up to guys and knocking them down or chokeslamming them through a well-timed counter. Thanks to MGS V's CQC controls almost all emanating from variations of how you control the right trigger in tandem with the left stick, there's a very understated disarm you can do on almost any enemy, by first pressing the right trigger as normal, then flicking to the left trigger and holding it. Snake will whip the rifle/shotgun/grenade launcher etc. out the enemy's hands and point it directly back at them - it's an awesome way of turning a Reflex Mode showdown into a silent hold-up, letting you keep your cover and then extract some secrets along the way.
