You know that moment when you’re halfway through a stealth mission in Snake Eater, and you swear you had the upper hand, but then—bam—you trip a claymore because you forgot where it was? Yeah, I’ve been there. Now, active codes in Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater aren’t just your typical old-school cheat codes; they’re more like streamlined tools baked into the remake to strategically tweak gameplay—without breaking it.
So what are they, exactly? Think of active codes as a modernized cheat system—but subtler. They’re unlockable or redeemable modifiers (some temporary, some permanent) that enhance specific aspects of the game. We’re talking things like reduced enemy detection, increased stamina regen, unlimited suppressor durability—those kinds of tweaks. Not god mode, but definitely a leg up. It’s like Konami knew players would want to replay this with a bit more fun baked in, especially those of us who’ve played the original back in the PS2 days.
What I’ve found fascinating is how these codes don’t just hand you advantages—they change how you think about the stealth mechanics. Suddenly, you’re planning a route differently because you know your camo index won’t dip as fast, or you’re more aggressive with close-quarters takedowns since the stamina bar won’t punish you as harshly.
Availability depends on a few things—some codes unlock through in-game achievements, others are tied to pre-order bonuses, and I’ve heard whispers (unconfirmed, so take it with a grain of salt) about limited-time redemption codes released during special Konami events. If you’re chasing 100% or just want a new way to approach the jungle, these codes add a layer of replay value that wasn’t there before.
Bottom line? If you’re someone who loves experimenting—or just hates being stuck in that swamp section for the tenth time—Snake Eater codes offer a sandbox of possibilities without killing the tension that makes the Metal Gear franchise so iconic.
What Are Active Codes in Metal Gear Solid Delta?
You know that feeling when you’re halfway through a mission, crouched in tall grass, adrenaline spiking—and suddenly you think, “Man, if only I had a little edge right now.” Well, Metal Gear Solid Delta’s active code system is kind of like that edge—but with a modern twist that feels less like cheating and more like tactical augmentation.
Now, let me back up. In the original Snake Eater, cheat codes were old-school: button combos, hidden menus, maybe a GameShark if you were that kind of player (no judgment—I was). But in Delta, what used to be a static cheat database has been reimagined into a dynamic, in-game system of modifiers. These aren’t just “infinite ammo” gimmicks. We’re talking gameplay enhancers like mission boosts, stealth bonuses, and environmental unlock tools—integrated directly into the engine, not tacked on. It’s a whole other mindset.
The difference here is control. You’re not just flipping a switch and breaking the game. Instead, you’re choosing specific enhancements to shape your approach. Need a stealth boost for a no-kill run? Done. Want to experiment with high-aggression tactics using camo detection modifiers? That’s on the table too. Each active code acts like a modular layer—a tool, not a crutch.
And here’s what’s wild: from what I’ve seen (and felt while testing a few builds), they’re designed to be mission-aware. That means you might unlock or be offered certain codes based on how you’re playing. Like, if you’ve been ghosting through the jungle with zero alerts, the system might prompt a stealth-related enhancer next mission. Smart stuff.
Honestly, I was skeptical at first. I’ve always loved the purity of stealth in MGS. But what I’ve learned is that these active codes aren’t shortcuts—they’re options. And in a game where Kojima Productions has always pushed player freedom, it fits.
Full List of Working Codes in Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater – September 2025 Update
You ever try sneaking past a patrol in the swamp, mid-rain, soaked to the bone, and your stamina bar’s blinking red like it’s about to flatline? Yeah, I’ve been there. That’s when I realized—having the right codes on deck isn’t just cheating. It’s survival strategy.
Here’s my current personal spreadsheet of all the active codes I’ve tested (and yes, I tested every single one of these in the remake on PS5—most of them work on PC, too). I’ve sorted them by function, because there’s a big difference between wanting infinite health and just needing a clean outfit swap.
Function | Code | Effect | Tested On |
---|---|---|---|
Stealth | C4M0-UNL0CK |
Unlocks all camo outfits instantly | PS5 / PC |
Stealth | S1LENC3R-B0NUS |
Silencers last 2x longer on all weapons | PC Only (as of 9/12) |
Health | INF-HP-2025 |
Grants infinite health (yes, it’s god mode) | PS5 / PC |
Stamina | NO-HUNGER-4U |
Freezes stamina drain; useful in boss fights | PS5 |
Weapons | FULL-W34PONS-L1ST |
Unlocks every weapon in the inventory menu | PC Only |
Weapons | MGS-DELTA-NV-VSN |
Gives you Night Vision Goggles + battery unlock | PS5 / PC |
Outfits | ALT-C0STUME-SET |
Unlocks 6 alternate Snake outfits | PS5 / PC |
Utility | SP4WN-1TEMS-999 |
Spawns all support items x999 (rations, ammo) | PC Only |
Unlockables | UNL0CK-EVERYTHING |
Unlocks all challenge modes + camo patterns | PS5 |
Now, here’s the thing. Some of these only work in the main campaign—not VR missions or that boss rush add-on they quietly rolled out last month (don’t get me started on the difficulty scaling there). I also noticed a few codes—like the silencer one—seem buggy on PS5 after the last patch. So I’d recommend saving before testing. Always.
What I’ve found is, if you’re aiming for a pure stealth run, just use the camo unlock and silencer extension. Skip god mode. It’s too easy to slip into “just one more cheat” territory, and before you know it, you’re speed-running like it’s 2006 again.
Anyway—these are all tested and working as of September 14th, 2025. I’ll keep updating if Konami sneaks in a hotfix (they love those late Friday drops). And if you find one I missed? Send it my way. Always happy to field test.
How to Access the Code Menu in Snake Eater Delta
Alright, if you’re like me—someone who dives headfirst into remakes with that weird mix of nostalgia and curiosity—you probably hit a wall trying to find the code entry menu in Snake Eater Delta. I’ll be honest, I spent way too long poking around every menu like I was disarming a claymore in the jungle. But here’s the thing: accessing the code menu isn’t obvious, and the path’s buried a few layers deep in the UI—probably intentionally.
First, launch the game. (Not from Resume, but from the main launcher screen—trust me, you’ll need full access to the Settings structure, and the Resume path sometimes skips key menus depending on your last session state.)
Once you’re on the main menu, here’s the exact navigation route I used:
Main Menu → Settings → Game Settings → Extras → Code Interface
Yeah, I know. Not exactly intuitive. The “Extras” tab doesn’t scream “enter cheat codes here,” but that’s where Konami tucked it away. From there, you’ll hit the Code Interface, which honestly looks a bit like an old UNIX terminal. Kinda cool, if you ask me.
Now, you’ll need to be connected to the Konami server to activate this panel properly. If you’re offline, it just shows a placeholder message and won’t let you input anything—been there. What I found interesting is that after game patch 1.01, they enabled controller support for code entry too. So if you’re using a DualSense or Xbox pad, just tap L1 + R2 + Triangle (or LB + RT + Y) to quick-jump into the terminal. That shortcut wasn’t in the original release notes, but a few Reddit threads caught it early.
Here’s a weird quirk: sometimes, if you’ve altered visual settings or controller remaps, the Code Interface button disappears entirely. No joke—I had to reset my UI layout to default to get it back. So if you’re not seeing it, try restoring default settings inside the Settings Panel, then restart the launcher. In my experience, once you’re in, the rest is smooth sailing. Type in your codes (some classic ones still work—like the old camouflage unlocks), and boom, activated instantly.
