The latest iteration of Metal Gear Solid, titled Delta, showcases the beloved feature where users can make use of time manipulation to defeat foes. This means that players can choose to wait for the sniper boss, The End, to succumb to old age or cheekily adjust their console’s clock to skip the waiting period entirely.

“This was a problem when it came time to square off in a sniper duel with The End, a legendary Cobra Unit marksman who is 100 years old…”
This combat approach highlights a quirky yet strategic layer to gameplay that is often missed by newer players.

A nostalgic nod to old-school mechanics invites both seasoned fans and newcomers to engage with Metal Gear Solid Delta in unique ways.

The game not only resurrects this iconic feature but also remains faithful to the legacy of the original PS2 classic, igniting a sense of joy in players who can revisit familiar territories. To make The End meet his demise, players can simply save the game during the fight, leave it paused for a couple of weeks, and return to find him out of the scene due to the passage of time.
