Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater offers plenty of activities beyond just playing through the main story. There are different difficulty settings that significantly alter gameplay, as well as various challenge runs that reward you with unique items and perks.
In the game’s dense environments, you’ll find numerous collectibles, including frogs and ducks. A special group of guards carry film reels, which are tricky to obtain. Getting these reels isn’t as simple as just grabbing them—they require some strategic effort.
### How to Get a Film Reel from an Enemy
Enemies holding film reels look slightly different; you’ll notice the reel sticking out from their uniform. These enemies cannot be damaged or else the reel will be destroyed, and you’ll lose that item for good (or until your next game).
To retrieve a reel without damaging it, you need to hold them up. Sneak up behind them while holding the sneak button (L1 on PlayStation, LB on Xbox), then aim down your sights when you’re in close combat range. The enemy will surrender their weapons and hands and will give you items, including the film reel, once you’re in position.
### Locations of All Film Reels
The game contains 15 film reels scattered across different areas. You’ll find them gradually as you progress, but it’s crucial to pay close attention so you don’t accidentally destroy one. If that happens, you’ll have to reload an earlier save to retrieve it.
Here’s a list of the locations and their names:
| Location | Reel Name |
|————|————|
| Dremuchij North | The Beginning Is The End |
| Dolinovodno | Gotcha This Time |
| Bolshaya Past South | Get Down |
| Bolshaya Past Base | Payback |
| Ponizovje West | Cat-Like Behavior |
| Ponizovje Warehouse | The Quick Version |
| Graniny Gorki Lab Exterior (knock and wait) | The Joy |
| Svyatogornyj East | Metal Gear S… |
| Krasnogorje Mountain Base | Diehard |
| Krasnogorje Moutaintop (second visit) | The Ultimate Weapon |
| Groznyj Grad Weapons Lab: West Wing | Made In The USA |

| Groznyj Grad Northeast (second visit) | Close Call |
| Groznyj Grad Weapons Lab: Main Wing (second visit) | He’s Still Got It |
| Zaozyorje East | Metal Gear Raiden: Snake Eraser |
Take your time exploring each site and planning your approach carefully. Rushing or making mistakes can be costly, often requiring you to reload an earlier save. Prioritize eliminating other enemies in the area who pose a threat before attempting to take the reel from your target.
