Metal Gear Solid Hints
What is the SOCOM Suppressor for?
1 of 3: If you did not get the SOCOM Pistol from the back of the truck, you can find a SOCOM in one of the storage rooms on the upper catwalk of the Tank Hangar.
2 of 3: If you did collect the SOCOM earlier, you will instead find a SOCOM Suppressor.
3 of 3: When used in conjunction with the SOCOM, this will muffle the shot of the SOCOM Pistol, allowing you to take enemies out more quietly.
