Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain – 15 Things You Failed To Notice

Distracting Skulls With Water

The Skulls soldiers are easily one of the most difficult enemies to dispatch in Metal Gear Solid 5, thanks to their nimble yet aggressive nature and large pools of health. However, players can use the Water Pistol to momentarily stun the enemy, giving a chance to close the gap and perform CQC or deal damage using other firearms. The reasoning behind this behavior can be chalked up to the fact that parasites get distracted with water. This is the reason why Skulls can be rather easily defeated in rain, where water is of course – in steady supply all around.
