No limit bonus
Complete over 100 sorties with a greater than 90% win record and an over all rating of 98% or more. Unlimited leg weight points, core weight points, and generator output points will be allowed. Note: Ignore the overweight warning.

Death bonuses
Intentionally die with less than -50,000 credits. The game will restart from the first level with all items gained in the previous game. Your pilot name will change to "Rebel" followed by three random numbers to confirm correct code entry. The first time this is done, the radar will become a grid system and will detect incoming missiles. The fourth time this is done, the rear weapon may be fired while in motion. The sixth time that this is done, available energy will be doubled. Additionally, a ball may be fired from the laserblade by firing the blade, then pressing [Jump].

Sword wave
Get Human Plus mode a few times. Draw your sword and press [X] (jump) just before the downslash. If done correctly, you will fire the fabled "wave" that all of the higher ranked ACs use. To fire the "blue wave of mass destruction", simply do this trick with the Moonlight blade. It can do over 1000 AP worth of damage.

Multiple missile lock
If you have a set of missiles or rockets, a laserblade, and an FCS with more than one lock-on, go to the test ,a mission, or vs. Mode. Lock onto an enemy with the rockets/missiles. Press [Circle] from a far distance. The lock-on square will disappear, come back, and lock on a second time. Do this a couple times until it does not go any higher. When you shoot, you will shoot more times at once. For example, if you have the TRYX-QUAD FCS,you can lock on up to four times. When you lock on four times and shoot, you will shoot four times as much as a normal shot.

Overweight override
When you build your AC, you will notice that there is a weight limit on the selected legs. To override this, just finish the game so the overall % under system reads 100%. To do this, you must complete every mission, get every secret part, and defeat every ranking Raven you encounter. Keep in mind that while you can load any leg type with whatever you want after you get 100%, your speed will decrease about 2 1/2 for every hundred pounds that you are overweight.

Rocket launcher
On one of the first missions when you are on a bridge to destroy some MCs, look behind you. Right around the out of area part is a green rocket launcher.

Moonlight sword
On the mission "Kill Struggle Leader", go to the part when the floor bursts open and you fall. Fall all the way in and move around the narrow path to find the last and final laserblade called the "Moonlight". This sword is particularly strong and can reach attacks up to 1500.

Head piece
On the mission "Guard Freight Train", blow open the boxes in the lot to find a head piece. Its the same one that Hustler One uses.

Missile launcher
On the mission where you destroy a lock for Marukomo, go to all four corners of the area. A missile launcher can be found in one of the corners.

Generator
On the mission "Destroy Plus Escapee" go down three levels from the building that you start in to find a generator. Its the best one in the entire game.

Guard Wharf Warehouse mission
On the mission "Guard Wharf Warehouse" do a breech of contract by destroying the warehouse door and stealing the radar.

Laser Gun Karusma
On the mission "Destroy Fuel Depot", go to the end of the second room where the fuel boxes are located. Look around on the top right corner for the Laser Gun Karusuma.

Back weapon missile launcher
On the mission "Retake Air Cleaner", go to a gate in the ceiling for a back weapon missile launcher.

Small FC's part
On the mission "Exterminate Organisms", look behind the queen organism to find a small FC's part.

Flame thrower
On the mission "Destroy Intruders", there is a flame thrower in a niche under the third or fourth bridge going down.

Glitch: Shoot through city building
Equip the grenade launcher in two player split screen mode at the city location. Move right up next to a building and face directly at it. Fire a grenade at the other player's AC unit. The projectile will pass through the building without exploding. The building will also protect you from incoming fire. Note: This does not work if you are at an angle -- you must be facing it perpendicularly.
