New Game+ Mode:
—————
New Game+ Mode – finish the non-plus mode of a game such a Normal to enable
Normal+ mode and the like. In Game+ mode, Alexs skills are unlocked at the
start.
Thermobaric Tank:
—————–
First you must unlock the Kill Event called Rolling Thunder, which appears between
the East Village and the Lower East Side (one block from the East coast). Right next
to the Event is a Thermobaric Tank. Jumping into it will activate the Event, but you
can back out of it before the Event begins. Do this correctly and youll have a free
tank.
Note: If you exit the tank it or use it to destroy a Hive or Base it will vanish. You
can grab it again at the Event point.
Platinum/Radical Events:
————————
To unlock the extremely difficult Platinum events, earn Gold in every event. There
are also Radical events to unlock which are almost impossible.
Mind the Crows:
—————
Infected water towers are always circled by squawking crows. This makes it easier to
track them down
Unlimited EP Exploit:
———————
On mission 22/31, where you get the first cell phone cut scene, youll be asked to jack
a Black ops helicopter. Once you have the helicopter, you are prompted to pick up a few
Black Ops guys and then destroy a Hive. Do not destroy the Hive! You now have a helicopter
with unlimited missiles, no time limit, and as long as you dont destroy the Hive, you
can blow up anything else without it kicking off the alert meter. This also allows you to
get out of the helicopter without it ending the mission (useful for collect Memory Strands).
The easiest way to get EP in this is to switch to your Infected Vision and fly around
blowing up infected water towers. You can save your game in the middle of this mission if
you need a break and do the same thing. You can max out your skills and then some using
this exploit.
Smooth Landing Speed Boost:
—————————
After jumping, avoid using both of your dashes while airborne and save one to
use just before landing. If timed correctly, you should hit the ground at near
full speed, which is very useful when attempting to evade the military or
during a timed activity. Note: This doesnt work for the highest of drops.
Helicopter jumping:
——————-
To do this trick you will need the ability to Jump Kick so that you can fly towards
the first helicopter of The Strike team. You can also use the Whipfists Grab upgrade
to latch onto an enemy helicopter. Double Jump can also be useful. To start, jump up
and Jump Kick or use the Whipfist Grab to latch onto the first helicopter. Do the
button event to kill the pilots. Fly up as high as possible and look for the next
target. Make sure to use the Lock On ability. Jump out of the current helicopter and
Jump Kick towards the next helicopter. You can keep doing this as long as there are
helicopters. If you fall, quickly use the Whipfist Grab.
Note: This can be very challenging but if done successfully you can attack numerous
helicopters without ever touching the ground.
Fly/Longer Gliding:
——————-
You need air dash and glide to do this. Jump into the air and glide, then when
you start descending, use air dash and press A twice to fly again. You can repeat
this until you run out of air dash, which is 2 max (glide then air dash, glide
again then air dash, glide again so… 3 glides and 2 dashes). You can glide for
3 times as long allowing you to cover more ground
Defeating the Time Square Boss:
——————————-
Submitted by: Arju
Contrary to popular belief this Boss battle is easy. Long before the battle, purchase
all upgrades that allow you to do +3 Devastator attacks, upon max health. It is also
a good idea to get all the upgrades you can via Consume. The Boss is massive. Notice
that under her life bar are other bars. These are some what the Boss stabilizers,
making her vulnerable only after you have severed them. At the beginning of the battle
she will do a scream attack. Be careful. Scale up a building or whatever else you have
to do. It is very easy to avoid. You will also have Hunters and Infected chasing you.
Use the full body armor and claws/blade. Max out your health by running around and
consuming. It is easy and the only issues you might have are Hunters, though with the
upgrades one hunter can nearly boost your life to max, allowing for maximum Devastator
attacks. This is one of your first Devastator attacks you will learn. Scale a building,
boost over to her, fall, and initiate the attack. You will see quickly that the Boss
stabilizers are being damaged. Note: Every round the stabilizers life will increase,
meaning that you have to follow the tactics in the same way, and it will just take
slightly longer. Strike her with the Devastator. You should have a chance for more,
unless she does multiple attacks (green orbs that track you, spitting concrete and
screaming). The armor reduces the amount of damage inflicted, allowing you enough
time in between attacks to initiate the Devastator again. Once the stabilizers are
done, she will fall and you can attack normally. She will then retreat (leaving you
plenty of red life orbs to consume) before shooting out of the ground again, with
more stabilizer life and backup. Ignore the backup. This tactic works nicely, but
if you get low on health, run away from her view and keep consuming. After she falls
a total of three times you will have defeated her.
Easy experience:

Note: You can most likely do this trick with any helicopter. Do the mission where you
have to steal a helicopter to find the right hunter. You are told to go fly over the
Infected area and scan the Infected water towers for a suitable enemy type. Instead of
doing that, fly to the Infected area and start shooting the Infected water towers that
are around all infected the areas. You get about 8,000 experience points for each. Shoot
25 of them and you will get the achievement or trophy Xbox 360 PlayStation3 for killing
the Infected water towers without them hatching. As long as you properly hijack the
helicopter and no one suspects you as an enemy, no one will attack you while this is
going on. One water tower requires one missile. Make sure to steady it so you do not
waste missiles. One flythrough with this helicopter can net you 1,192,000 experience
points, assuming you can find one water tower per missile. You can get even more than
that if you use your machine gun. After getting about 500,000 experience points, crash
the helicopter and repeat the process again from the checkpoint.
Note: This trick only works once you acquire the ability to hijack helicopters and
have Infected Vision, received later in the game. Hijack a helicopter. Once you do so,
activate Infected Vision. Look for the bright orange water towers scattered throughout
the level, primarily in the Infected areas. Shoot them with the helicopters weapons.
For each water tower you destroy, you will receive 10,000 experience points, which are
important this far in the game. Note: Water towers respawn continuously for unlimited
experience points.
An easy way to get experience points is to get a helicopter, preferably without alarm.
Go to any Infected area and search for water towers containing Hunters. These are easily
found by going to the area where the crows are circling. This indicates where an Infected
water tower is located. Lock on to it and blow it up with a rocket. It should only take
one with a direct hit. You will receive 8,000 experience points per water tower. With
200 rockets in an attack helicopter you can get 1,600,000 total experience points. Then
using the machine gun, destroy forty more towers. You can then use the remaining homing
missiles to blow up a hive for more points. Get another helicopter and repeat the process.
The water towers will respawn after a short amount of time.
Attack animations:
——————
When consuming enemies, use different attack powers such as the Whipfist or the Blade
to see different animations. Each attack power has a few animations to show off.
Defeating the final Boss:
————————-
Quickly switch to Armor and Blade after the cinematic ends. Having Infected Vision will
help. Stay away from the Boss until he starts to jump. After he lands, attack him with
an Air Blade Slash. He will become stunned after a few good hits. Grab him and repeatedly
punch. If you are taken down to critical level, use a Devastator move to stun him.
Finding Infected water towers:
——————————
* Squawking crows usually circle the Infected water towers, making them easier to find.
* As soon as you unlock the Infected Vision you can see the water towers that are infected.
They will glow the orange color like any other infected.
