Infinite Drebin Points From Dwarf Gekko
When you reach the tank hangar in Act 4, equip as many healing items as you can, alert the Dwarf Gekko to your presence, and start running around. The Dwarf Gekko are programmed to shoot at you, but are incapable of reloading. They merely throw their guns away when they run out of ammunition. These discarded guns can be collected and sold to Drebin for extra points. While the most common gun is the GSR, the Dwarf Gekko will occasionally drop an otherwise rare Desert Eagle, which earn 10,000 points each. As long as you don’t kill any Dwarf Gekko, you can keep this process going for as long as your patience or Snake’s heath allows.
Infinite Drebin Points In Outer Haven
Before you reach Outer Haven’s Microwave Tunnel, you have to run straight through a series of hallways that are infested with Dwarf Gekko. Instead of going forward, hang back near the door, equip The Patriot, activate auto aim, and start firing. You’ll earn Drebin Points for every Dwarf Gekko you destroy, and none of them will be able to get close enough to attack you. Since the Dwarf Gekko infinitely respawn in this area and The Patriot has infinite ammunition, you can keep this going for as long as you want.
Infinite Drebin Points In South America
After you’ve met up with Drebin in South America, spend some time attacking the Confinement Facility nearby. It’s surrounded by a watchtower and a perimeter wall lined with barbed wire, and has wood piled in front of it. Every soldier in this area is armed with an XM320, which earns 12,000 Drebin points each. However, it only earns this much if the weapon is dropped without the soldier being killed beforehand. The easiest way to do this is to stand near the entrance or the wood pile, and either hold up the soldiers at gunpoint or shoot them with Cry Ammo when they get close enough. Once you’ve safely gotten the XM320, kill the soldier and wait for his backup. Since soldiers respawn infinitely in this area, you can earn hundreds of thousands of Drebin points in only a few minutes.

Cheaper Prices In Drebin’s Store
Set the PS3 system date to a Wednesday or Sunday, and Drebin will have cheaper prices. Also, in Act 5 all prices are halfed.
Inheritence
You carry over your Drebin points, weapons, ammunition, items, and special items from a previous game upon game clear. However, Snake will need to encounter Metal Gear II in the first stage to get his stuff back.
Be sure to save your cleared data upon game completion to track your items. Load the cleared data to reap your benefits.
Vamp’s Light Weakness
When fighting Vamp, immediately equip the Solar Gun. A fully-charged blast from it can take Vamp out in a single hit. This leaves him wide open to be grabbed and injected with the syringe. This method can end the fight in a matter of seconds.
Easily Sneak Through The City
The Third Sun chapter involves following a NPC through a city, while avoiding enemy soldiers. They already know what Snake looks like, which makes getting through tricky. However, you can counter this by simply equipping any other characters’ FaceCamo that you’ve unlocked. The soldiers will see you, but won’t attack. They’re only looking for Snake, after all.
