Add defeated AC emblems
Press [Select] + [Start] when the victory message appears in the arena to add the defeated AC's emblem to your list.

Steal Emblems
If you see an emblem in the arena that you want to use, select the appropriate AC and press [Triangle] to display the spec screen. Then, press [Start] + [Select]. A sound will confirm correct code entry. Select "Edit Emblem" to view it.

Temporary invincibility
Press [L2] + [R2] + [R3]. A "Limiter Released" system error message will appear, and you will have unlimited energy during this time. After approximately one minute, the "OB Down" system error will appear. It will last as long as the previous error, but you will not have any energy. After "OB Down" is completed, your AC will recharge and return to normal. Make sure you finish off your enemy before you become vulnerable.

Plus cheats
Intentionally lose the first mission after the Raven test, then die with -50,000 credits or less to activate the "Plus" cheats. The game will restart from the first level with all items gained in the previous game. Your pilot name will vanish from the "Pilot name" slot. The more times this is done, the more cheats you will unlock. Some examples are better radar (grid system that detects incoming missiles), fire projectiles from laser swords (press [Circle], then quickly press [X]), cooling twice as fast, being able to fire rear weapons while in motion, and double available energy.

Overweight cores
Successfully complete the game in mission mode and allow the credits to complete to be able to have cores that are overweight.

Unlimited energy, weight, and arm weight
Successfully complete the game and allow the credits to complete. You will now be able to play with unlimited energy, weight, and arm weight.

Control replay view
Go to the Arena and fight anybody. If you win, there will be an instant replay. Press [Circle] during the replay and the view will change to what your opponent is seeing. Press [Circle] again, and the view will change into an overhead view of the battle.

Defuse Explosives: Extra money
Select the Defuse Explosives level and equip yourself with the Karasawa MK II. Stay far away from the flame throwers and destroy them with the Karasawa. You should not get hit very much and get an easy 43,000 credits.

Destroy the main computer: Hidden AC part
On the mission given by LCC to destroy the main computer, you will play in the same starting area as the radar destroying mission. However, you will start at the place just to the right of the secret part. From here, move left two containers and blow the third one up to receive the part. The part is an extremely fast lock on missile launcher that fires 12 in just 6 to 7 seconds with 60 rounds.

Destroy Containers: Hidden AC part
When you have to destroy the crates during the snow mission, enter the crack to the right of the starting location. Destroy part of the airplane to open a small cave. It contains a part that makes your left arm weapons or shields power up.

Eliminate Leos Kline: Hidden AC part
On the mission where the Earth Government sends you to kill Klein, but requests that you keep their surrounding system intact you can find a new set of energy weapon type arms. Note: This turns out not to be the real Klein but an unmanned AC. Equip a head with a hacking of 4 or greater. In the last hallway before entering the chamber where you will do battle with the fake, you will encounter two side doors. The first door will be on your right and the second will appear on your left, just a few feet before the door to the main chamber. On the floor of the small room behind that left door is the hidden AC part. The AC part's description states that they are considered to be a more energy-based version of the modern slug gun.

Ground Based Assault: Hidden AC part
Go to the opposite side of the map. Fly underneath the bridge to find a ledge that has a hidden AC part, which is the highest armored head available.

Infiltrate Radar Base and Destroy Radar Base: Hidden AC parts
There are two AC parts in the same building on both of these levels. Get outside, then move all the way to the right to find three buildings with doors on both sides. Shoot the door on far side of the building furthest to the right to find a different part on each of those level.

Infiltrate STAI Battleship: Defeat massive MT
Get a lightweight Bipedal Humanoid Core, equipped with the Karasawa MKII (or other high powered weapon) and the small Grenade Launcher. Find a good place that you can lie and wait. As the MT approaches from behind, face the opposite direction so you will not get hit by the cannon blasts. When it passes over, aim for the big middle part of the MT and fire away at it. It resembles a human torso.

Protect The Train: Hidden AC part
Play the "Protect The Train" mission. When the train arrives, destroy the second to last train car to reveal a hidden AC part. This results in an automatic mission failure, but you get to keep the part. It is a Back Booster extension part that speeds up backwards boosting.

Rescue Research Team: Hidden AC part
Go approximately halfway through the corridor with the floating platform. Repeatedly shoot the different colored disk at that location. Fall all the way down the opening that appears to find the LS-Moonlight, the most powerful laserblade in the game.

Safeguard Secret Information: Hidden AC part
Equip a head with a hacking of at least 4 . Turn left in the room before the elevator, then open the doors. Shoot the crates in the center to uncover a panel in the floor. Shoot the panel to find a hidden missile launcher AC part.

Stop The Surface Weapon: Hidden AC part
A mission that may pose a problem to some is the destruction of the Surface Weapon. There is a hidden weapon that can be a great addition to your Core as well. The weapon is the Karsawa MK II, and it is found directly over the Surface Weapon near some rocks. To battle the surface weapon effectively, but still have time to get the weapon, make sure you have at least 9000+ AP. This is not a definite requirement if your Core is fast and agile. Next, equip the Grenade Rifle (a right arm weapon), and a Grenade Launcher as a back unit. This may cause your Core to be overweight. An additional back unit may be the Chain Gun (not the Double Barrel Gatlin Gun.) With this type of configuration, select the mission and begin. First, destroy its right side weapons. Note that there are two massive guns toward its front. Do not skip them. With the right side of the first destroyed, destroy the second weapon's right side. You should now have at least 20 rounds total between both grenade weapons. Quickly fly over both weapons and back a ways to some rocks. Retrieve the weapon on the ground. Turn around and quickly boost back (overboost if desired) to the weapon(s) and finish off the remaining sides. This may require some practice.

Training room: Hidden AC part
Repeatedly shoot the circle in the ceiling until it breaks. Enter the hidden area and follow the shaft to find a part for your radar.

Underground Railway: Hidden AC parts
Follow the right-side branch of the tunnel to the end. Destroy the panel at that location. There is another panel in the ceiling above. Shoot the ceiling panel to find a hidden AC part, which is the best shield available.

Zio City Suppresion: Hidden AC part
When fighting during the Zio City Suppresion mission, leave a special forces unit alive and go towards the green buildings in the urban area. The part is the Orbital Cannon. It is near the wall. Search carefully and do not get destroyed.

AC Test area: Hidden AC part
Blow up center of the ceiling and fly up there. Look around to find a hidden AC part.

Bonus AC parts
Successfully complete all of the following missions in the indicated series to unlock the corresponding part:

Emeraude: ELB-XXE/LAPIN
Balena: HOY-B1000
Zio Matrix: ZLR-ZIO/MATRIX

Defeating Leos Klien
When entering this level, go to the hallway that has three doors in it. Be sure to use your thrusters "the strong ones" and blow through the mines. You will not get hurt. Check the doors in that hallway. There should be the best generator in the last one.

Build a heavyweight AC and equip it with the pursuit missile pod. You can take him down in less than thirty seconds. Point the sights straight up, or close to it. When you fire, most of the missiles will hit him. Tap [Fire] rapidly so they fire as fast as possible. After he is "destroyed", he will change into a white disorder unit/AC. With conventional weapons, this is next to impossible to lock on to, as he zips back and forth too quickly. However, by using the the same tactics above, Kline is easily overcome. After this mission, you can use overweight ACs.

Defeating Matthais
Unlock Matthais, choose the Battle Dome and use the Karasawa and a well armored AC. Fight by keeping him under fire until he takes to the air. Activate the Limiter Release, keep with him, and do not let up. To make it easier, have the Energy Weapon Amplifier and Accelerator.

Go to the Falna Craters level. Matthias has a tendency to get in back of you. When the battle starts, do the "Limiter release" trick and fly backwards to where you are about to leave the mission area (near the red line on the radar). Matthias will try to get in back of you, and he will step out of the mission area.

Defeating Nine Breaker
Before getting to him, he will give you a Sniper Rifle. On the way there you should have collected a lot of credits. Use this to buy the Pursuit Missile launcher. Make a Core with AP higher than 9Breaker's, with the Missile Launcher, Sniper Rifle, and Missile Interceptors. You should be able to defeat him in the crater. After that is done, you will have Stealth Units.

Play the Crater level with the crashed spaceship. As soon as the battle begins, turn around instead of fighting. Over boost to the very corner of the red out of bounds line, without going out. Wait for Ares to approach you. Do not shoot him because he usually lets you get the first shot. Ares will the start circling you and moving around. He will probably step out of bounds and you will automatically win the match while taking little or no damage.

Note: A lot of patience is required for this trick. Pick the Falna Craters level and have a good booster. When the level starts, immediately fly on top of the spaceship in the middle of the crater. You should have a set of Multi-Warhead Missiles on each shoulder. Ares will hide under the spaceship, so you may want to finesse him slightly, or taunt him. Fly off the ship, but do not land. Try to lock on to Ares in the air and shoot immediately. Ares will launch his Karasawa MKII at you -- move around in the air. Once you have shot the missile, fly back to the top of the ship. Repeat this several times and you should take minimal damage (if you have a mobile AC) and Ares should be Defeated. This also works with Prisoner B-24517, Suave, and almost every AC in the Arena. You may have trouble with this if you are fighting someone with Multi or Vertical Missiles.

Use an AC with vertical missiles on both sides of the back and go to the Abandoned Highway level. Stay on the building you are first on and shoot Ares. This may take awhile, but it works. If you run out of ammunition, do not worry. He will not have much remaining if done correctly; just attack him head on.

Defeating Werehound
Note: This trick can also be used against other ACs. First, equip your AC with the Bazooka Arms and Multi-Missile Warheads. You also must have legs that are suitable for flying. Once you have gone into the Arena, select Werehound as your opponent and Etal Base (with all the towers). Fly up to the platform on one of the towers. He will not hit you that well there. Switch to the Multi-Missile Warheads. Try to keep him within the target as long as possible. Keep firing. Occasionally, he will suffer a system error. This is good. As his AP goes down, keep firing at him until you have no more missiles. If he is still alive when you run out of missiles, confront him with the Bazooka Arms. This also causes a system error sometimes.

To defeat Werehound easily with only a little damage, equip your AC with Hover Craft Legs (cheap), Missile Arms (medium price), and Nighteye Head (medium price).Use the cheapest Core, the Vertical Missiles (high priced), and any other parts as desired. Choose the Ruined Highway and wait for him to boost to the building that you are on ,Note: He will use his small rockets. He cannot lock on; use the Vertical Missiles and keep firing, no matter what. He will not fire his arm weapons. If you need to use the [R3], boost to the other tall building across the arena and fire your arm missiles. When he lands, press [R3] to boost back to the other building. Keep repeating and he will not be able to keep up. He will eventually overheat and his AP will decrease quickly.

Easy money and Nine Breaker
Equip an AC with multiple missiles, then challenge all opponents in the fourth stage (the one with the high towers). Immediately fly all the way up to one of the towers, look down, and pick off your opponents. You will rarely ever get hit. If you use auto-fire with quick lock-ons, you will be a Nine Breaker in no time. After reaching Nine Breaker, buy all the AC parts you can, then intentionally die with -50,000c to restart with all AC parts. Get back to Nine Breaker and repeat as needed to build your credits.

Easy money
An easy way to make money once you have completed the game is to do the Rescue The Research Team mission with the 46000c reward. First, go to the garage and put on the altimeter on the Cockpit Arrange section. Then, do the mission. As you are falling down the pit, watch the altimeter. As soon as it reaches -1800 ft., then press the button for Over Boost. Try to aim your AC into the tunnel and you should not get shot by any disorder units. Run to the end of the tunnel and open the door. Over Boost to where you found the research team. You should have not been hit many times and the entire process takes about a minute.

Eliminating Strung in the arena
Normally in the arena you have to fight Strung in tenth place. However, if you destroy him in mission during the sandstorm where he first recruits you to help him fight, he will appear in the arena.

Gain back mission lost arena opponents
Win over 220 arena battles and bet the Phobos mission. All arena characters (Strung, Brazen, etc.) will be available.

Easy Arena battles
When in the arena, get a form of vertical missiles. After that, challenge anyone in the arena at Etal Base. First, you will see a building to the left side of the screen. Strafe and go forward towards this building. After that, jump into a recess on the top of this building. This will provide you with cover for the moment. Wait for your energy to recharge, then jump northwest to the top of a large tower. (Northwest can be found by your radar -- forward and left from your starting position). There is a platform on the top of the tower connected to another tower by a catwalk. Stay on the platform. Load the vertical missiles and attack the enemy below. Wait for your vertical missiles to run out before you rejoin the enemy down below. You may have problems if the enemy has high AP -- get better vertical missile launchers (EWX-VL5241).

In the Etal Base arena, get the dual back mounted multi-missile launcher, the higher damaging missile reflection extension, the missile lock on speed up optional part, the missile fire as you lock optional part, the expand lock on range optional part, a very good booster (such as Athene), a good energy shield, a better FCS (such as DCS-ALM) and a high AP AC. The energy and shell damage reducing options are also recommended. At the beginning of the match, trigger the shield and hit the limiter release ([L2] + [R2] +[R3]). In the one minute of unlimited power, overboost to the nearest large tower (connected by a skywalk to another tower -- it is at 2 o'clock from the starting position). Thrust up to its top, and stop on it. From here, turn on the extension, and lock on to the enemy. You will fire four rockets that will split into ten close to the enemy. This can result in 3000AP in one hit, and almost always triggers overheat damage. The fire missile on lock part is for fast targets that duck out of lock too quick -- it maximizes the speed of your salvos. No anti-missile system can cope with this much firepower at once. With your energy shield, even those ACs with weapons that can hit you, will have their damage greatly reduced, since you are at an extreme angle to make a solid hit. The only AC that may give you trouble is the one with dual vertical missiles, but it may run out of ammo. Everyone else should fall before the limiter release fades. You can let most die from heat. If you run out of ammunition, take arms with wide spread damage. Your enemy should be pretty beaten, so just dump ammo at him until he caves (grenade launcher is recommended).

Select the Highway. Stay on top of the building at the beginning and start plugging a CPU opponent with missiles. Most of the time your opponent will leave the area if you stand on the part of the building the brings up the warning that you will leave the area.

Before fighting a tough Arena opponent, buy the Dual Vertical Missile shoulder weapon and the extension that fires four missiles. When you challenge the opponent, choose the Desert Arena with the big space ship in the middle. When you start, use the "Temporary invincibility" code and fly to the top of the space ship. Stand on or near one of the larger rocket engine objects, turn on your extension, aim straight down, and lock on to your opponent -- radar helps. You also may need the extension for fast lock-ons and longer range. With this method, you should only get hit when trying to fly up. The only person this does not work on is Funeral Mask. For this, go to the Battle Dome, and equip the flame thrower and shield. When you start, use your shield and the "Temporary invincibility" code then back up into a corner. He should jump on top of you. Aim up and hit him with your flame thrower. Make sure you are as far into the corner as possible so he cannot land behind you.

Go to the moon base (with the wall you go out slightly). Use the Super Boost immediately before you get to the opening. Stop, turn left or right, then boost again. Your opponent will try to follow and go out of bounds. This tactic works on everyone except your last opponent.

Make sure you have powerful missiles and the Cannon Recoil optional part. When you have to pick a battlefield, choose Etal Base. When you start the battle, turn left and fly to the ledge of the tower. Then, look down. When your opponent appears, keep shooting your missiles on every lock. If you have a lot of ammunition, he should hit heat every time and will be down in a matter of seconds.

Equip your AC with the Vertical Missile Launcher Back Unit and the Arm Mounted Grenade Rifle. Then, select your opponent. Select the Highway fighting arena. When the battle begins, you will start out on a tall building. Stay on this building. Select your missiles and lock onto your opponent from the rooftop. You may need to walk around to get a lock on your opponent, but you will not lose. If you sometimes stand at the far corner which is almost considered out of bounds, your opponent will sometimes go out and you will win. This works better with the Auto Missile Firer and the Wide Range Radar.

Build an AC with the caterpillar legs (extremely high load capacity) and equip it with heavyweight cores, two large powerful rockets and bazooka arms. An AC similar to this can easily defeat nearly every opponent in the Arena. When you get to the higher ranks, you may want to change the bazooka arms to grenade launching arms.

This trick requires about 150,000 credits. As soon as you can, buy the blue double back weapon that is a double vertical firing missile launcher (takes up both back slots). Also, buy some extensions that are fire support missiles. After equipping those weapons, go into the Arena and fight. Only go to the Abandoned Highway area (where you start on a high building). With your extensions on, fire at your opponent whenever he comes in range, but stay on top of the building at all times. You should be able to easily defeat all of the ACs in the arena. Because you are so high, your missiles have plenty of time to get a precise lock on your opponent.

To defeat any Arena Boss, use the best possible booster and generator, equip the longest range FCS and/or optional part and the EWX-BL4 warhead missiles. Play Falena Crater, fly up to the top of the spaceship, then stay in the air while you fire rockets at the enemy AC. Your AC should not get hit.

Boosters
Contrary to popular belief, the H4/T Boosters are just as strong if not stronger then the Artere and GEX3000 Models. The statistics lie. This can easily be proven by going into split-screen mode with two of the exact same ACs with the exception of the boosters. Pause game play, tape down the [X] and resume the game. Whoever rings out first has the better booster. The same is also true with the generators. In actuality the HOY-B10000 is the best booster in the game. It also recovers much faster than the others.

Extra Arena fights
If you occasionally look at the "Bottom Feeders" of the Arena, eventually there will be three new ACs to battle.

Rank #51. Chris Miura (AC-Vex)
Rank #52. Co-op (AC-Millionaire)
Rank #53. Lost Lamb (AC-Stray Sheep)

Extra tough Arena fights
If you are lucky enough to become the fabled "Nine Breaker" and you complete the entire game, you can get some bonus Arena fights. Even though they may look easy because of their rank, look at the stats for pilot rank and you will realize the are no joke. Also, the lower you go, the harder they become.

Rank #54. Scarlet (AC-Wild Honey): Not too much of a threat.
Rank #55. The Veteran (AC-New Dawn): Tougher, but can be handled.
Rank#56. Falcon VIII (AC-MK VIII): Tough opponent; likes to fly.
Rank #57. Riot (AC-Gallows Bird): Very strong; may take a while to defeat.
Rank #58. Matthias (AC-Funeral Mask): Very hard match.

Also, if you look through the line up after completing the game, a few more people will challenge you.

Rank #34. Castor (AC-Universal Star)
Rank #20. Bulk (AC-Mass)

Light, fast, and powerful AC
To create a light, fast, and powerful robot use the following parts. For the core, use the Mobile-type Core (sixteen slots). For the arms, use the ones that are dual grenade launchers. For the legs, use the Fast, mobile hover-type (found at the bottom of the list of legs in the shop when you start a game). For the extension, use the high quality missile interceptor. Use any other parts as desired, as long as it does not make the AC overweight. Statistically, this AC is "Poor" as it only has one weapon with 20 ammunition for two, and its AP and defense are bad. It should not be used in missions, as the ammunition is expensive. It can be used in the Arena.

You can interchange a few parts if desired, but have the overall weight below 7000 to keep your rising ability respectable. Remain airborne and constantly unleash the vertical missiles on your opponent. When they run out, remain airborne and pick him off with your arm-mounted missile launchers. Even if the enemy has a jammer and/or missile interceptors, you will still have enough ammunition to waste even the most heavily armored behemoth. Note: This AC is useless in regular missions due to the reliance on missiles.
