Overview of the Fox Hunt online mode in Metal Gear Solid Delta

Fox Hunt is built around a hide-and-seek concept, focusing on camouflage and survival.

Two new features have been added to enhance both the mode’s engagement and its stealth factor:

At Camo

The At-Camo feature is an advanced camouflage system that provides an all-terrain suit capable of instantly adapting to the surface you walk on. Players will be equipped with it from the start and can change patterns on the spot, allowing them to blend perfectly with any environment. This adaptability is crucial for escaping, attacking, ambushing, or infiltrating stealthily.

Naked Sense

Another key feature is Naked Sense, which allows players to detect and pinpoint threats within a limited radius, as well as search for supplies. However, using it drains stamina.

Since this feature could be overpowered, balance is maintained by triggering an alert whenever a nearby player activates Naked Sense.

This mode will not support cross-platform multiplayer, and no in-game purchases will be available.

Additionally, players can create private matches with invited friends or by sharing the room ID.

Furthermore, the developers have noted that when the mode launches, players may experience temporary instability in performance and matchmaking if server traffic is high.
