How to make the 1-2 Connecting Bridge jump in MGS2 (AK Suppressor location)

You can get a bonus item - the AK Suppressor - by making the bridge jump on the 1-2 Connecting Bridge following the Harrier fight. Here's exactly how to make the bridge jump in Metal Gear Solid 2, and find the AK Suppressor location that follows.

I remember trying this dozens of times as a kid and failing 😆

[@MattyPS]

Damn, I missed this since I thought "how the hell am I supposed to get there." Oh well.

[@Crazyreyn]

Took me a few replays to work it out!

[@michaellong814]

It worked like a charm for me! Thank you!

[@Crazyreyn]

You're welcome!

[@Obsidian8R]

this whole section of the game is where i flat out gave up and quit playing

[@Crazyreyn]

If I'm honest, everything up to the Harrier fight is my favourite.

[@sicilyeverywhere]

I hate this damn part. I die all the time 😡😡😡😡

[@tyb8999]

You could also just go on the ledge and shimmy across

[@CannaToker420]

Aww man. I have died 8 Times trying to do this. I’m going to say screw it for now. I’m doing a no kill play through for second time anyway. Now I have horrible ocd about dying on this part bunch of times. Why did I have to be so damn ambitious

[@xCorzo650x]

unfortunately didn’t work for me

[@Crazyreyn]

How so? Fell short, or wrong angle?

[@dopcry]

I thought everyone knew this.

[@Ebstarrunner]

Doing this jump while going for Big Boss rank on extreme difficulty after making one of your 8 saves BEFORE the Harrier fight is when it gets tense hahaha

[@Crazyreyn]

Did you make it??

[@Luchii]

I actually didn’t use this way my first playthrough if you time your somersault well enough then you can make it on between the ledge gap from the right side.
Just be careful not to walk too far to the right because I think fire starts from the smoking vent where you would land.

[@Crazyreyn]

Interesting! This is the only way I could get it to reliably work.
