This guide shows all weapon locations in Metal Gear Solid 3 Delta Snake Eater (2025 Remake). Weapons are not needed for any trophies/achievements in the Delta Remake, but they were needed in previous versions.
This guide is updated for the 2025 Delta Remake of MGS3 on PS5, Xbox Series X/S & PC. The unlock requirements are the same as in the previous game versions.
All collectibles are missable in MGS3 Delta. There is no chapter select. However, you can work around this by keeping a manual save every 2-3 areas. There are 31 manual save slots and roughly 70 areas.
To get all collectible types and trophies in one playthrough, follow our chronological guide by area:
