📋 About This Mod

A recreation of the bionic arm that Ocelot gives Snake in the pre-rendered cutscene between Episode 0 and 1, without the pinky finger. About as accurate as I could get.

Replaces the default red bionic arm. Hopefully better mods coming soon. Like a playable Skull Face in a hat, I think I have a idea for that one.

Update 07102016: "Re"moved the vertices on the inside of the pinky finger. Added the 5 finger version

Update 09/02/2022: That's almost six years. I made a proper and more accurate texture, better referenced from the FMV, and made a better model edit with FMDL Studio v2, like removing the one digit from the ring finger. Now comes with replacers for the GOLD and SILVER arms as well.

Update 12/17/2023: Added Zeta version!

Special thanks to all these wonderful people for their generous donations for all these years!
