When you need to be stealthy, D-Dog can be an invaluable ally. This obviously puts D-Horse in danger of being shot, but it's still a reasonably effective option if you need to thin the enemy ranks while also making your escape. If you are spotted while riding D-Horse, know that you can pull out a weapon and starting dishing out bullets while mounted. That said, you still don't want to get too close to enemies while in this position - simply trot past at a distance and stay hidden. This technique is great for navigating past smaller outposts that are dotted around the map, as guards won't be too suspicious of a horse that doesn't appear to have a rider. By pressing the crouch button while you're saddled up, Snake will lean in behind D-Horse, effectively using her as cover. Indeed, D-Horse can be useful when it comes to stealth.

It goes without saying that she's also far quieter than a jeep or truck. Especially near the beginning of the game, you won't yet have easy access to vehicles, so D-Horse is your only real option when it comes to travelling relatively long distances. For starters, D-Horse is your most reliable form of transportation. Although she isn't the most exciting of the game's four available buddies, she'll always have her uses. She's the horse that Snake is riding when you first enter Afghanistan.ĭ-Horse is a trusty steed that'll rarely let you down.

D-Horse is the only buddy that's unlocked at the start of the game, after you've completed the prologue.
