In Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, camouflage makes up a lot of stealth. There are many different camos and face paints, and some even grant you bonuses like infinite battery or unlimited grenades. You start out with a small number of camo patterns, but as you traverse the jungles and complete objectives, you’ll unlock more, some of which are accessible if there is a MGS title that you prefer at the beginning. This guide outlines all camo patterns, face paints, and how to unlock each one.
Camo Patterns
There are a total of 61 camo patterns. DLC and Digital Deluxe skins do not count towards the “A Snake Has Many Skins” trophy. You can also ignore the Stealth or AT-Camo because those are not required for trophies, just other achievements.

So during your first run, you only need to actively go after a small selection.
