Additionally,a ball may be fired from the laserblade by firing the blade, thenpressing Jump.

Hint: Sword wave:
Get Human Plus mode a few times. Draw your sword andpress X (jump) just before the downslash. If done correctly,you will fire the fabled "wave" that all of the higherranked ACs use.

Hint: 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. PressCircle from a far distance. The lock-on square will disappear,come back, and lock on a second time. Do this a couple times untilit does not go any higher.

When you lock on four times andshoot, you will shoot four times as much as a normal shot.

Hint: Overweight override:
When you build your AC, you will notice that thereis a weight limit on the selected legs. To override this, justfinish the game so the overall % under system reads 100%. To dothis, you must complete every mission, get every secret part,and defeat every ranking Raven you encounter. Keep in mind thatwhile you can load any leg type with whatever you want after youget 100%, your speed will decrease about 2 1/2 for every hundredpounds that you are overweight.
