Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater elevates health management beyond typical action games. Players must balance Snake’s stamina, treat injuries, and scavenge resources to survive.

Stamina-Driven Regeneration

• Two vital meters: Health (shorter bar) and Stamina (longer bar).
• Health regenerates slowly if stamina is sufficient.
• Consume food (rations, plants, or captured animals) to replenish stamina.
• Insufficient stamina halts health recovery entirely.
• Critical wounds (gunshots, fractures, poisoning) drain stamina and block natural healing—address these with medical kits or herbs first.

Instant Healing via Items

• Life Medicine (LF MED) provides immediate health restoration.
• Obtained through exploration, enemy drops, or environmental scavenging.
• Carry limit: 10 units.
• Use via the Items menu (confirm with A/X on controllers).
• Prioritize for high-pressure scenarios like boss battles.

Radio Frequency Healing

• Interrogate enemies to unlock secret healing frequencies.
• Activating these through the radio plays calming tracks that boost stamina—and indirectly, health.
• Unique per difficulty level and playthrough; single-use per run.
