What level of regen is this?

[Twellas]

In Metal Gear Solid 3 Naked Snake breaks his limbs numerous times, but canonically immediately regenerates after applying a splint and some bandages, same goes for burns and gunshots, even to the head. What kind of regen is this? I thought it might be mid-low, but I'm not sure

 

[Ogbunabali]

If the limbs were only broken it would maybe be High-Low. However if he can regenerate from a legit bullet through the head then it would qualify for Mid regen, however you'd need to specify it on the power.

 

[Twellas]

nah, the gunshots to the head definitely don't hit the brain, they probably just damage the skull. Also, even without them healing Snake is not hindered in the slightest, what would this be? An ability?

 

[Ogbunabali]

Hmm, depends on how much damage he has received. It maybe type 2 Immortality if he has suffered enough damage without being hindered by it, but if it's not significant enough, it would just be a stamina feat.

There was some talk about creating a pain tolerance/endurance type of power, but I don't think anything came of it. If it gets made in the future, I think this would qualify for that power.

 

[Twellas]

got it. Now that i think of it, wouldn't it rather have healing? Healing medium and heavy injuries, that is

 

[Ogbunabali]

Since it's done by bandages and stuff, yeah that would be more appropriate.

High-Low/Low-Mid healing for Big Boss

 

[Twellas]

yeah, it's better also because if Naked had regen, then Solid and Liquid should have had it too, and in MGS4 we see that Snake doesn't regen from having his face burnt, which pretty much debunks him having the regen he technically should share with Naked. Thanks for the help

 

[SpookyShadow]

Didn't Snake have his face burned when he was already getting very old because of being a clone? Maybe that nullifies the Regenerationn.

 

[Twellas]

it's a big assumption. Also if he had either high-low or mid he would have regenerated his eye

 

[Twellas]

But I'm looking through the various cutscenes, and Volgin is definitely going to get at "least low, likely mid" regen, he has a gunshot hole right in the middle on his forehead during the Shagohod fight
