| Hints, Tips & Tricks |
Go to the "Reservoir" arena level. At the beginning of the match, boost backwards to the point where your AC is almost out of bounds (indicated by the red line on your radar). Most arena opponents will try to get in behind you to attack. Using this trick will cause them to go out of bounds. You may take a little damage, but most fights will be over within ten seconds. Keep in mind that some opponents will not fall for this, but most will.
Inflict high damageEquip your AC with the gun with 1000 ammo and the flamethrower. When in an AC battle, hold Square + Circle at close range to inflict high damage. It is difficult at first to keep them in range, mostly when they jump a lot.
Spread BazookaIn the mission where you have to find a sinking ship's cargo, look in one of the cargo rooms on the ship to find a Spread Bazooka
Leg partIn the "Garage" section, achieve a "S" rank in both the AC tests. You will unlock a leg part called MLH-MX/VOLAR. It is a heavyweight humanoid leg part that is good for balancing weight and performance.
Defeating ExileOnce complete the main game and defeat Ace in the arena, you will have to fight Exile. His skills are not that great, but his mobility will kill you. Get a heavy AC, go to the parking lot, and let him get right in your face. Then, use the flame thrower and big bazooka to attack. You will get 1,500,000 credits for defeating him. You will also gain access to the "Extra Arena" mode. In this mode, you and a teammate of your choosing can go up against two enemy Ravens at once.
In the "Parking Lot", as soon as the match begins, boost backwards (into the corner). On occasion the enemy will get caught-up on the wall and you will have up to a minute worth of free shots. Since the part of the wall covers the R arm weapon, there are only a couple of Arena opponents that this trick will not work on.
Buy and equip the machine gun with 1000 ammo (R arm weapon), and the hovering legs at the end of the list (it is a long shaft). Strafe around your opponent in the arena while firing the machine gun. This trick usually works up until rank A-3.
There is a hidden head part on the mission "Defend Naire Bridge". Eliminate all enemies on the first half of the bridge. However, before crossing the incomplete part of the bridge, fly underneath the middle section of it towards an alcove. It resembles a road that just stops. Look on the ground of the alcove and you should see a very small circular object. Press Circle to pick it up. It is the hidden AC head part.
Mid-sized Rocket LauncherWhen the mission where you have to disarm a poison starts, stay on top of the reservoir dam and travel east (to your left) and you will find a back Mid-sized Rocket Launcher.
Parrying BladeImmediately when you start the "Destroy Massive Weapon'" mission, look down. You will see a destructible floor section. Blow it up. Go underneath the platform and look towards the enemy. On the railing surrounding the area is a part. Press Circle to grab it. It is a Parrying Blade that does 3,100 damage. It can be sold at the shop for 59,000 C.
Spread BazookaIn the mission where you have to find a sinking ship's cargo, look in one of the cargo rooms on the ship to find a Spread Bazooka.
StealthIn the "Disable Pulse Generators" mission, you have to disable four Pulse Generators. After you have disabled the first two Pulse Generators (in the first part of the structure), get to the second part or the other side. When you get there, ignore the Raven that you are facing and disable the third Pulse Generator. It is located all the way at the bottom. Note: You should be on the other side, where the other Raven is located. Then, get to the fourth Pulse Generator. This Pulse Generator is in one of the doors with the air vents. Once you are in the room where the fourth pulse generator is located, destroy the vents on the top. Look up to find it. When you get to it, do not disable it. Look up again to see that there are air vents that are already open. Go to it and turn left to find the Stealth extension part.
Bonus partsGet an "S" rank on every mission. Depending on the mission, you will receive various parts that cannot be earned by getting a lower rank. Each mission is based on speed, damage taken, and ending price.
Easy completion: Reservoir missionThis trick works against slow/large weapons with low ammunition (Ox, etc.). Go over to the dam. Fly up onto the first little door. Land there, then target the opponent and learn how much ammunition they have remaining. Look up and to the left (or right). There should be another door in that direction. Fly to it while zig-zagging to avoid getting hit, and having them waste ammunition. Then, go back down. You are likely to get hit once or twice. Repeat this they are out of ammunition, then kill them. Do not use this trick against machine guns or rifles. It will appear as if the dam is out of area, but it is not.
