and makes you harder to hit. Use crouch whenever you
can, especially in low cover. Lying down amplifies
the effects of crouching. You will be even harder to hit
and even more accurate than when crouched.
)
SPRINTING—Sprinting is a great way to get around the
battlefields of Vietnam quickly. You can only sprint in short
bursts as it is tiring and drains your stamina. When you run
out of stamina, you stop sprinting. Stamina recharges while
you are walking or resting.
)
INVENTORY—The Inventory button displays your entire
Inventory so you can select any item quickly. When you release
the Inventory button, the Inventory is hidden.
)
QUICK SWITCH—Pressing the Quick Switch button stows your
active weapon and equips a grenade. Press it again and you
stow your grenades and re-equip your active weapon. If you
use all your grenades, your original active weapon will be re-
equipped automatically. Being able to switch quickly between
grenades and guns will save your life.
)
PEERING—Hold the 
4/3 directional buttons to peer left/right.
Release the button to return to a normal stance. Peering
around a cover object such as a rock or house lets you benefit
from the protection of cover while targeting enemies.
)
THROAT SLIT—You won’t be taught this move until your arrival
in Special Forces. Equip your knife. Sneak up quietly behind an
enemy until you are within grabbing distance...then use your
knife to silently slit the enemy’s throat.
)
BEADING—Beading describes the process of getting your
leading eye down the line of the gun sights. Beading mode
gives you a slight zoom—a better view of the distant
battlefield. However, Beading mode reduces peripheral side
vision and prevents you from moving anywhere quickly. With a
scoped weapon, activating Beading mode displays Scope view.
CHARACTER ABILITIES
Use the left analog stick to move and the right analog stick to
look around. Notice that you can control the pace of your
movement in relation to the pressure applied to the left analog
stick. Push it slightly and you’ll move slowly, push slightly harder
and your character's movement speed increases. The right analog
stick has a weaker ramping up effect that assists your aiming.
)
ACTIONS—When you are near an interactive object, an Interact
icon describing the action appears on screen. When two

the

LADDERS—Press the Action button to climb onto the ladder.

automatically.
CONVERSATION—Press the Action button to initiate a
conversation. Highlight the 
CONVERSATION icon with the

person has finished talking—they might have more to say!
MOUNTED WEAPONS—Weapons can be mounted on helos,
jeeps or simply on tripods on the ground. Press the Action
button to use the weapon, fire and aim as usual, and press
the Action button again to cancel the weapon use.
DISARMING TRAPS—This icon appears when you are close
to a trap that can be disarmed. Press the Action button
to enter Disarm mode. Using the directional buttons,
follow the prompts to make a successful disarm. You have
only a limited time to successfully disarm the trap.
PICK-UPS—When you are standing over an item that can
be picked up, an icon appears on screen. Sometimes
several pick-ups are available in close proximity. Press and
hold the 
x button to initiate the interaction, use the 4/3
directional buttons to scroll through the pick-ups and
release the 
x button to select the pick-up.
C4—You can only place and use C4 when this icon appears.
Select the C4 from your Inventory and press the 
x button
to prime and place it.
)
CHANGING STANCE—Most veterans will tell you that their
preferred stance in Vietnam was as low as possible. You will
quickly discover that a standing soldier is a dead soldier.
Crouching is a flexible stance to adopt in Vietnam. You can
quickly ramp up into a full sprint, and immediately return to
crouched when you stop moving. It increases your accuracy 
Your home in Vietnam is the Base Camp. You can hang around
camp for as long as you like listening to the DJ spin some tunes—
shooting his mouth off about this or that. Maybe some shooting
practice is more your bag, or even chewing the fat with your Base
Camp friends. All this, and more is available at Base Camp!
)
EARNING CHITS—Chits are the form of currency the U.S.
military paid its soldiers in Vietnam. They’re basically military
money vouchers and they can be earned in several ways. 
Surviving your missions—Simply surviving each mission
means the Army will pay you a modest wage.
Above and beyond—Doing things above and beyond the call
of duty will often be rewarded with extra chits.
