Infinite Chafe Grenades:
Go from the snowfield after Otacon opens the door to the helipad at Shadow Moses.  Always respawns on the helipad.

Note: For both the Bear and the Bee emblems, you can use the same enemy.

Ant: Hold up an enemy while they are crouching so that they lay down.  Body search them 50 times in a row without fear of knocking them out or being knocked out.

Metal Camo:  This camo increases damage resistance.  I believe this is a downloadable camo.

Items necessary for Big Boss Emblem (BBE) run:
Anti-Material Sniper
2 chaff grenades minimum
50 Tranq bullets for each gun
50 V-ring bullets


Time Saving Tip in Act 3 in BBE:

While tailing the resistance member, follow him until he walks into the next map.  Instead of following, save the game and reload it.  The rebel will be on the next map, but time spent will not be saved.  Do this until finished with the tailing scene and you will only use about 5 minutes instead of 30-40.

Solar Gun:

This is a very useful weapon for the Act 3 bike chase scene during BBE.  It will insta-knockout any who get hit by it.  NOTE:  the Act 3 bike chase scene is the hardest scene in BBE.
