Sam’s HF Blade was made from a weapon crafted by the famous swordsmith Murasama, and it has a faster vibration rate compared to Raiden’s HF Blade, making it more powerful.

Players will be able to play as Samuel ‘Jetstream Sam’ Rodriguez, a samurai character from Metal Gear Rising.

While playing as Sam, you cannot buy any upgrades – in exchange for that, while playing, you will find many more of them scattered all around the map, than in the case of Raiden.

After making a few swings at Armstrong with his sword, Sam paid close attention to the speed at which Armstrong’s nanomachines form his armor. Then, after taking a few punches, he made use of the explosive charge in his sheath to sever Armstrong’s right hand.

Jetstream only takes about 90 minutes to finish…and even less if your Revengeance skills haven’t gotten rusty in the months since the game’s release. I wouldn’t complain if those 90 minutes were any good, but it’s all just retreaded the same ground with a slightly different protagonist.

Sam is the first (and only, so far) Brazilian character in the Metal Gear series. Sam’s design was made to directly contrast Raiden’s: he wears a white exoskeleton while Raiden dons a black exoskeleton following their first duel.

Samuel Rodrigues, also known as Jetstream Sam and Minuano, was a cyborg mercenary involved with the Desperado PMC group who fought against Raiden during the events of 2018. He was a master swordsman of the “Rodrigues New Shadow School” technique, which had derived from the “Yagyu Shinkage-ryu (Yagyu New Shadow School)” of Japan.

Collect everything and go towards the gates that the marker points you to but, do not open it yet. Note the ledge on the right. Climb onto it and collect the Data Storage, and then cross the abovementioned gate. A VRM computer and a reward that will appear after the end of the mission.

However, the reward is often some upgrade for Sam. In this mission, you need to deal with 5 enemies – at first you will have to fight 3 cyborgs and, after you kill them, 2 Gekkos will appear. An effective method of eliminating the robots is using the Avalanche attack (a propelled aerial attack).

As Sam, you cannot use Ninja Run – Sam’s counterpart of this ability is, simply, quick run. You can also use it in the air, to bounce off obstacles. Sam has no AR mode – instead, you can taunt enemies, thanks to which you deal more damage to them. There is a catch though – they also deal more damage then.
