Yeah. You need to rely on your skills as well as relying on your armour. If your armour breaks then you're pretty much finished. I opt for stealth instead of an all-out fire fight if I can avoid it.

[That's where cardboard boxes come in useful. Hide in one then spring a surprise attack against the enemy.]

Sounds good to me. You're pretty good, kid. [Spending a little too much time with Ocelot? Perhaps.]
