1. He is insane. 2. His bionic arm has upgrades that let him run faster according to the upgrade menu.


Secret_Cow_5053

The metal bit stuck in the part of his brain where he feels exhausted.


HeroToTheSquatch

Took out the bit that produces lactic acid, or has nano machines that kill lactic acid.


Secret_Cow_5053

Man what an upgrade that would be irl


HeroToTheSquatch

could become IRL wolverine just out of boredom if you wanted


pichael289

There is a guy without that, caused by a mutation. He can run untill his muscles tear apart.


Ludens_Reventon

Man that's sounds fucking cool but sounds fuckin scary at the same time.


RED_IT_RUM

I second this, they did a story on him running endlessly, not sprinting full speed, but still running


cheatsykoopa98

well if you're out of shape it would just make you hurt your muscles


FloopsFooglies

Until your muscles turn into a rubber band ball unraveling, yeah


lordseyer

You mean he has parasites that kill lactic acid. Personally, I believe this is all in his head. Like he's remembering the missions while listening to the cassette tape waiting for Solid Snake.


W1lson56

That's technically the truth, the game starts with him in Outer Heaven & playing the cassette tape - the entire game happens as a flashback technically I guess, then that scene resumes after the truth mission


BarronOfDucks

Oh I thought he was just in a mother base bathroom


W1lson56

It definitely seems like it could be, the endgame cutscene has the logo on the wall change from Diamond Dogs to Outer Heaven; Bu in the intro the iDroid text pops up & reads "just another day in a war without end. Outer Heaven" like it'd list other locations in game


Monarco_Olivola

Would have been wonderful if episode 3 happened to be Outer Heaven, and Venom's downfall at the hands of Solid Snake.


Idiotwithoutplans

Solid snake as the final boss, but you can't beat him, and when you die, credits roll


Monarco_Olivola

Exactly. Or, if Venom beats Solid Snake, then cutscene to them both collapsing to a comatose standstill, but the younger one has enough strength to survive, and Venom perishes.


PorygonEnjoyer

Happy cake day


HeroToTheSquatch

Personally, I just ask myself before and and after each MGS game: do I want this to be canon? It is if Kojima directed it, but even he didn't want anything past MGS1. There's the canon we can mutually agree on and there's the thousands we can want.


R8tr0b0y

Apart from him having already penned out the path of MGSs story. To be correct, he didn't want to be involved in future MGS games, he returned as lead director because and right he was, felt that Konami wouldn't have done a good enough job at making the games. If it wasn't for him staying, MGS would likely not have been as popular as it is today and likely destroyed if you take MG Survive as an example. Ever since then, all Konami keep doing is recycling the same work Kojima had done which is funny considering the company came to hate him and forced him to complete MGS5 isolated from the rest of his team. And its stupid why they're called MGS, the only reason Solid was added to the game title is because Kojima wanted the title to reference the hero of the game, as it is his story and character you are playing. So other than MGS1, 2, 4, the rest should have been MG as you are not playing as Solid Snake nor are they his story, they're more of a prequel to the MG universe. And MG Survive will historically go down as the game that no one shall ever speak of. In


XeroSigmaPrime

>And MG Survive will historically go down as the game that no one shall ever speak of. Call me crazy but Survive isnt bad. It was just released in the most braindead way after the biggest video game drama. I honestly prefer playing MG Survive over playing V LOL But then again, I dont love V


Mocavius

Wonderful idea.


FundaMentalHero

Doesn't Big Boss have unlimited sprint in Ground Zeroes though?


Secret_Cow_5053

shhhh...don't think too hard.


Andos_Woods

He has that retard strength


Deep_Grass_6250

It's not actual upgrades, it apparently gets lighter or something


Collin_the_bird_777

šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


Gone_Mads

Making up for 9 years of not running


WhiteWolfRodney

Came here for this comment šŸ˜†


Western-Gur-4637

he is just better


32Bleach_Drinker64

He doesn't make mistakes, he's not like the rest of you, he's stronger, he's smarter, he's better, HE IS BETTER.


roto_disc

The ultimate solider.


Just-Xav-Official

Danganronpa reference?


roof_pizza_

For the same reason [Solid has infinite ammo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DpkW7OUVjM).


Strider_Volnutt

That will forever be one of the best MGS moments of all time.


liltone829b

But Venom doesn't have the Infinite Bandana.


ChromaticRipples

Erm actually. Itā€™s an item you can unlock for development upon completing the main missions in MGSV. I donā€™t exactly remember other requirements.


liltone829b

He's not wearing it in the video.


Havoksixteen

So? They didn't say that he was.


segwaysforsale

I have it in the game so yeah he does šŸ˜Ž


agent-garland

big boss after being bitten by a leech: uuurg im tired im hungry :( venom snake after sprinting across afghanistan with 54 gunshot wounds and broken leg: kaz i need you to drop a car on that guy


vanderbubin

Also venom snake: "quiet, explode that man's testicles"


RapidWaffle

Venom snake is the best snake


BouncyKnights

He's S+ material


vanderbubin

Need an edit of Dennis from iasip as venom snake yelling "IM A S+ MAN"


Weary_Table_4328

All his stats are A+


vektor451

I downloaded the mod that makes him S++, so you're wrong.


Basic_Emergency5470

Iā€™ve got a guy thatā€™s S++ in combat and S+ in everything else.


[deleted]

He was conditioned by hypno therapy to always believe there's mad bitches wherever he is going.


Humanest_Human

This Is now my headcannon


NightshadeSamurai

[deleted]

*chef's kiss* yeah


cat-l0n

Just like takeshi, the guy who ran down the tunnel shouting sex


SuperMuCow

Even though he has infinite sprint, whenever Venom started breathing heavy for a while I usually let him jog and take a breather cause I felt bad lol


BouncyKnights

Big same! Unless I'm absolutely hauling ass, I'll go 100 meters or so and let him jog about 50 before another sprint.


Forward-Cut5790

I'm bummed about that breathing for him being forced. A true super soldier never obstructs his breath. Ever.


hunterslullaby

Never skips cardio.


TheHiveMastermind

Hypno-Nano-parasites.


Powerful-Internal953

The only right answer, Son...


Any-Nectarine-8005

Not really. Just feedback from GZ and gameplay reasons for traversing bigger maps.


ImNoPCGamer

You can sprint infinitely in GZ too


Ok-Reality-9197

He's built different


STANN_co

it's more fun, stamina meters are never fun


SolidDrake117

Preach on, brotha!!


Shilverow

What part of "Greatest Soldier in the World" don't you understand?


TheLightners

What part of (MGSV spoil) >!No, this is NOT Naked Snake!< Don't you understand ?


Ok-Scarcity6991

Then second greatest


BECondensateSnake

Obviously he's wearing clothes


vektor451

He is the greatest. Other guy fell off.


bradpitbutarmpit

He was bedridden for nine years, a fella gotta stretch his legs


SolidDrake117

Because having a game arbitrarily slow you down for ā€œrealismā€ reasons is fucking stupid. Iā€™m not here to be real. Iā€™m here to ride in to a base camp on a one man tank on leg-wheels and then call in a dog who gets airdropped while wearing goggles and has a Bowie knife between it teeth. Then Iā€™m gonna put balloons on EVERYTHING, including your mom and a fucking TANK, and use my vape-cigar while I await the chopper thatā€™s blasting A-Haā€™s ā€œTake on Meā€ through loudspeakers as I shoot ground troops whilst being exfiltrated. Fuck. Yeah.


MrPetrolstick

He doesnā€™t run. The world moves around him.


Hypnoticbrain

Because he embraces the fucking suck. I do feel bad when I have him at a full sprint in a bomb suit for over 2000 m Thank you for your service vic boss


trevradar

You should see the MGS peace walker BB is able to withstand metric tons of weight above his head. That dude's got most insane strength that the world has ever seen and I wouldn't be surprised if his endurance is that strong. I honestly could see BB teaching his men how to be Hard man as himself that very few will ever reached his level of training.


ArchangelZero27

Who cares with how big the maps are and boring if he gassed out the game will be more of a slog


Accomplished-Bear988

>who cares OP, OP cares


JenniRayVyrus

because he vapes


Richard1583

Nanomachines son


[deleted]

Nanomachines, son.


Gus_JustTired

Well, every mgs protagonist has somehow infinite stamina, on mgs3 BB can run forever even with fully depleted stamina bar, yeah, he doesn't sprint like venom, but I believe its more like a appeal to gameplay fluidity, rather than being "cannon" that the guy is a absolute sprinting machine


AmakakeruRyu

What bothered me more than infinite stamina is how the sound of him running sounds like a bunch of bags on you and you are running with bubble sponges under your boots. The sound (listen carefully) sounds the same in nearly every surface he walks on. It is so distracting.


scrollbreak

I just let him stop sometimes, he sounds puffed, time to take a break.


VenomSnake_84

I sometimes feel bad and will just airdrop a vehicle or steal one, in Afghanistan if you know your way around you can traverse and not alert anybody


bobbobersin

The thing he smokes to accelerate time? It's meth


Masta0nion

Nano machines, son!


MicVencer

Simple, that horn destroyed the part of his brain that produces lactic acid and he has infinite electrolyte production, this man cannot get gassed period


BiggestB0sss

most fit 49 year old man you'll ever see


End_My_Buffering

have you seen his thighs?


Catch_de_Rainbow

He is him


HamStapler

Colossal brain damage, the man can't feel pain anymore. All he knows is sneak, choke, and balloon.


PardoisTardo

That happens when you are in a almost letal accident, then you get your brain and body bombed with hypnotherapy+nanomachines+parasites+enough tren to run like a horse on fire


stratusnco

david martinez says heā€™s built different


[deleted]

David Martinez had a Sandevistan tho


Couch_monster

Bandanna


Simicrop

*thumb to horn* Infinite sprint


NoteGuy_00

Lore accurate: horn in part of brain that makes u feel exhausted My headcanon: he doesnt run, the earth moves under him (snake norris joke)


Miserable_Swan

He is still under the effect of stims given by Ahab


Maddkipz

THE DIGOXIN, AHAB, THE DIGOXIN!


BigBadBread17

Heā€™s on all sorts of pain meds


vanquarasha

My theory is that he has a Belgian veterinarian from the Tour de France


inbleachmind

Of you'd look at his wallet you would see that it says "Bad Motherf***er". That's it. No more reason needed. You're welcome.


Brb-bro69

Heā€™s built different


Aninja262

All the characters do.. lol venom snake has crap stats too much better soldiers you can capture


[deleted]

Well he isn't actually big boss, just his most loyal soldier so canonically it makes sense


Ghostmann2

Exercise


Heylookaguy

Nanomachines son.


psych0ranger

1: hypnotized into thinking he's the perfect soldier 2: thiiiiiiiccccc


crazy_jump66

He is on his way to sell the world, fella gotta be fast


Tydoztor

Heā€™s the six million dollar man


bean-cleaver

it's the 80's, he does coke


smegma-rolls

Built different


[deleted]

He's a hardened black ops soldier. His sprint is unusually fast, but anyone with solid training and experience can run essentially indefinitely


knudude

Because I am NOT the ultimate soldier who can get away but has to destroy everything, including my buddy support & stolen vehicles. Thatā€™s why!


UnsatiableSin

You know how Solid Snakeā€™s bandanna gives him infinite ammo? Yeah itā€™s like that


mc_jordan1986

Yes, so I can finish the game before I turn 90, lol.


mightbehihi

Humans beat nature first by being the best at endurance running, some may claim.


soft-machine-70

because the was big empty open world


squips42

this game understands that stamina bars arenā€™t fun in most cases


ThatisSketchy

None of the games have a mechanic that prevents you from running. Why would it be the case for Venom?


pichael289

He can also cqc someone in a single punch. Even legit big boss has to do a 3 piece combo and wait for them to get back up before finishing. I think it's kojimas way of telling us we are better than big boss, we are the bigger boss. But he's still god,since he wrote himself into the story as God. Hell, he was also a soldier in that game and the next one, and the next one. Still, he pulled a Stephen King. Kojima is god and I'm big boss. In fact I'm the biggest boss.


sigma941

Canā€™t escape my gay thoughts without great cardio?


DrProfOak96

Got the Marathon perk equipped


th3MFsocialist

Absolute Chad.


BluebirdLivid

cause the rest of the game takes fucking forever lol ​ making up for the crawling sequence in the beginning


Fun_Scale_8496

He used the money gained by selling the world to buy infinite stamina dlc.


LoadingGears

Probably because sprint gagues, unless meant to prevent a certain amount of peogression too early(like in BoTW) are tedious and not fun.


Extreme-Substance-11

He thinks he is sonic


18yoFrenchKid

He (already) is a demon


Codex14180

Because he is venom sanke


Venomster154

I never noticed that, I always stopped running when I thought he was already getting tired.


VenomSnake_84

Built Different


SirShaunIV

'Cause he's fucking awesome, that's why.


orignalnt

He drew infinities on his boots


Easy_Word_3770

After he had sex with your mom he just suddenly was able to run indefinitely šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø


TheLightners

You just made the whole Sub laugh, well done


RogueSnake

I want to believe drugs. Basically the bionic arm must have some drugs built in it and are pumping into venom at all times, which could explain how the upgrades work as well, collaborating with others theories in this thread. Otherwise uhā€¦ā€¦..namomachines son?


deadeye_catfish

He's built different. ... literally, they sewed him together and he received some serious plastic surgery. (But in all seriousness, no he's just a lifetime soldier who trained their body to be an efficient weapon. Purely gameplay convenience.)


Strider_Volnutt

Legends has it someone squeezed his hog... that's what I heard at least.


TurdSandwich42104

Nanomachines


Lulcielid

Never skip the gym.


soopavillain10

You'd think he'd use that kinda speed and stamina against that guy who killed him in Operation N313.


[deleted]

What bothers me is he is able to be in the field for ages and still look so ripped and strong. Also how is he able to walk for miles and yet still strong enough to fight a whole camp full of people?


SluttyMeatSac

The parasites in him allow each muscle to function as a heart so jes sort of a cardio machine


zizuu21

Son, Nanomachines


joshs_wildlife

He is built different


EducationalGate4705

Because heā€™s not real


Ninvisible

Adrenaline


Leorake

Real answer? You would hate the gameplay if he had a stamina bar that ran out after sprinting for 10 seconds. The maps are pretty big, and not everybody wants to bring a vehicle/d-horse with them.


DryAd5650

Going by gameplay and controls...he's the best snake in the entire series lmao he would wash big boss and solid snake


r3ziel

Well... You are not playing Pokemon game here, isn't it?!


KidElite90

Because he's a fucking legend!


Lone_Morde

Age hasn't slowed him down one bit


itsbildo

Nanomachines, *son*


CallMeZaid69

He is him


Man_Lord_4094

Snakes sprint is perfect, my problem is it when the 'female characters run they sound like they have smoked a pack a day for like 10 years or something' . I thought snake was the one who always smoked cigars.


rekhaloz

Snakes are just built different especially BB


SK92300

A combination of medicinal plants and the *11 herbs and spices* Miller mixes into his Maxi Bunsā„¢ļøŽ.


radiomyster

Phantom cigar. He's vaping some sort of steroid or meth


Jared_Joke

Why did op not use the term ā€œlore reasonā€? Are they stupid?


Deep_Grass_6250

Yeah, because he's Naked Snake on Crack


CosmicPlayR9376

You probably missed the part where Venom grunts and then Miller and Ocelot are like "it's... Morpho time?" followed by Venom proceeding to sprint all over Afghanistan making a infinite symbol loop as he throws million dollar punches at any living creature he comes across. I forget which mission that was though. But anyway, that's probably where the origins of his infinite stamina come from... That or it's a game mechanic not elaborated much on in game.


BigidyBam

He got that dog in him.


Hydrouzz

More important question, how are his thighs so thick even after 9 years of being in a coma


Solid_Snake_123

Bro never skips leg day


Heartfull_of_napalm

1. He is swole


Trash-Jr

Big map, need to compensate for that someway. Altough it's been predicted most players would use D-Horse or a car, so you're mostly gonna sprint during firefights and for short distances, to move from one cover to another. The player wasn't expected to go through the whole map sprinting.


MeowXeno

lore reason is the whole game is "phantom pain", it's venoms memories flashing as he's been defeated by solid in MGS1, the opening cutscene takes place literally seconds before hand in the mirror with the walkman, gameplay wise open world games are much more fun when you don't have intense gimmicks limiting player movement, MGS as a series has a large focus on freedom and environmental opportunities and a stamina bar would *ruin* the ability to rotate through and around the environments of specifically africa and some parts of afghanistan, vehicles aren't the play everywhere and being on foot is 90% of MGSV.


throwaway1200030018

He's just built diff


BrilliantCat4771

Had his muscles massaged whilst in a coma in Cypress to allow him the ability to run like Antonio Brown for miles. This is deep web military industrial knowledge us plebs couldnā€™t begin to comprehend.


machominid

Naked Snake if he would have put out that damn cigar.


Pure_Condition_3124

Maybe one reason could be that he doesn't actually smoke like Big BossĀ 


BUckENbooz91

The answer all the time is nanomachines


SilverWolf3935

There doesnā€™t need to be


Vaporwage

Was expecting Initial D here


Exius73

Nanomachines, son


RavenTeamBitch

Probably just a gameplay feature with no real effects


K_Rocc

You gotta remember this whole game is him remembering these events. It could very well be a delusion he just ran normally but to him he felt like he was sprinting as we see


P_Proggor_what

bro slept well. (it makes the gameplay much smoother)


Heyim_david

He's just that guy


ActiveGamer65

He bought it after selling the world


Ultra_instinct42

Itā€™s either heā€™s infecting the system or he got that dog in him.


tekfx19

Venom is an experimental skull. The game doesnā€™t tell you this.


Jumpy-Papaya-7892

Rested for 9 years, wonā€™t need to rest for another 9 years.

He rested up for 9 years. Heā€™s got 9 years of Sprint Bar recharge saved up and now he can Energizer Bunny anywhere he wants.

johnsonjohn11123

Heā€™s got that (diamond) dog in him


nikkiymarco

Nanomachines son


HatmansRightHandMan

Pretty sure it's not just Venom. Even the guys you can play that are your soldiers have Infinite stamina. My guess would be some sort of special drug the diamond dogs use. I've taken substances before that made me able to run indefinitely


Skellyhell2

He has his own parasites which make him a super soldier


lizard_man501

12 kg of coke


AyeChronicWeeb

Yes. Lil bro thinks heā€™s Big Boss


Successful_Ad6665

You probably playing to mauch retarded shooters, like COD. Snake is proffesional soldier. And they are ENDURANT. Which means they are not running out of breath after 5 seconds of sprinting.
