Intentionally die with less than -50,000 credits. The

followed by three random numbers to confirm correct code entry.
The first time this is done, the radar will become a grid system

this is done, available energy will be doubled. Additionally,
a ball may be fired from the laserblade by firing the blade, then
pressing Jump.

Hint: 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.

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. 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.

Hint: 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.

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.
