I'm playing MGS for the first time and like the game said, I'm saving by calling Mei Ling on the Codec. But even though I saved the game, AFTER getting the SOCOM and some different types of grenades, I get spawned back to the start of the zone. Not only that, but all the items I picked up are gone. Is this normal?

I pressed continue and even went back to the menu to load the game file (just to make sure it was using the right one). But it was all the same. Spawned at the start of the zone without the items I had gotten.

By the way, I'm playing on Duckstation, if that's important.

So far I've maxed out air and speed, but is there anything else I should level up?
