* [[Demonic Spiders]]: You will learn to HATE riot suited soldiers and child soldiers.

* [[Foil]]: XOF is this to Diamond Dogs, being an amoral [[Private Army]] that answers to Cipher. Or rather, Skull Face.

* [[Heel Face Door Slam]]: {{spoiler|Zero}} is revealed to be [[The Atoner]] and had been trying to undo what he helped set in motion. {{spoiler|Only for Skull Face to intervene, ultimately reducing him into the vegetative old man Snake sees in ''[[Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots]]''.}}
