[ The buddy system is necessary, seeing how Snake is no expert at exploring this kind of terrain. Give him any high-tech facility and he'll be sneaking past the security system in no time, but caves? He hasn't had a mission set in a place like this since he was in his twenties, probably.
Not that it's deterred him in the slightest. After that encounter with 76's rival mercenary, with the two of them working together to chase the ghost off, Snake has to admit that he trusts 76 more than most people here. That might seem pathetic, but the easiest way to earn that trust is by being competent in a situation like that.
All the same, Snake completely understands that not getting shot at is a feat worth mentioning. In their line of work, it's easier said than done.
76's comment about the mercenary draws his attention, though, and Snake risks a quick glance over his shoulder at him. He keeps it brief; if he's taking point, he needs to be hyper aware. ]
