Red Blaster

Red Blaster (レッド・ブラスター) was a Zanzibar Land mercenary who specialized as a grenadier. He was an elite assassin who earned his special operations degree from the Patrice Lumumba University of the former Soviet Union. He once served as an explosives expert for Spetsnaz.

Red Blaster fought against Solid Snake, during Operation Intrude F014, on the 30th floor of the Tower Building. He ambushed Snake as he left the elevator, with wired traps set up all over the room. These traps restricted his movements, leaving him open to attack by Blaster's grenades. However, Snake was able to outsmart him and, in a twist of irony, defeated him using the same weapon.
