Hints
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, just complete every mission. 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.
Sword wave
Get Human Plus mode a few times. Then, 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.
Taking missions
When taking missions, check the sender. If you take
too many from one company, others will stop sending you missions.
However, after you complete the game you can still play the missions
and get the money. Then, all the missions will be available to
replay as many times as desired.
Defeating Phantasma Stinger
Buy the arms that are bazookas. Dash on the ground
while holding [L1] or [R1] and fire a continuous volley
of shots. You should defeat him in less than a minute.
The Final Battle: Defeating Phantasma
In order to quickly do away with Phantasma, the weapons
and back weapons equipped have to have high Offensive Rating.
Use the Large Missile Launcher acquired from defeating #3 in the
Arena. This unit has a attack of 9830 and the missiles follow
your opponent until it crashes with something. Hopefully about
three consecutive impacts will be enough. Be warned, the recharge
rate is 35 -- it is a good idea to blast away with a laser rifle
(WG-XFwPPk has 1120, 100 shots) or the hand-held grenade launcher
(WG-PB26 has 2200, 12 shots). Always remember to dodge his massive-light
attack, and return fire freely.
Glitch: Shoot through city building
Equip either one of the grenade launchers, and go to
the City Map location in two player split screen mode, arena battle,
or linked play. Move right 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 immediately exploding,
and you will have the protection of a building from enemy fire.
Note: This will not work if you are at an angle -- you must be
facing the building directly, with the tip of the gun touching
the wall.
