Dempsey 190 'Equalizer'- Semi-automatic, used by Los Muertos, Volk and Shai-Gen gang members. Takes 8 shells with 80 in reserve. Excellent stopping power, poor rate of fire and accuracy. Very short range.

Shotgun damage is very dependent on range, expect damage and accuracy to drop sharply as you get further from the sweet spot of around 8ft.

Watson HE99-X 'Firefly' - Rocket launcher with heat seeking capabilities. Semi-automatic. Used by Shai-Gen gang members. Takes 5 rockets with 15 in reserve. Tremendous stopping power, decent rate of fire. Very long range. Hands down the most powerful weapon in the game.

The 'Firefly' has a slower moving rocket than the "Hothead'; however, The effect of this on gameplay is (for the most part) negligible.

Grenades

Grenade - Starting grenade. Used by Los Muertos, Volk and Shai-gen gang members.
    
Colby 'Limpet Charge' - Available from supply points. Not used by any NPC. Sticks to just about anything (other than bodies) and its detonation is remote controlled, hold RB to detonate.

Shrapnel Grenade - Used by Los Muertos gang members. Releases shrapnel which can cause additional damage.

Cluster grenade - Used by Shai-Gen gang members. Releases a cluster of smaller grenades when detonated.

The blast damage and blast radius of grenades and explosive weapons are the same, they will increase as you level up your explosive ability (from killing gang members with explosive weapons and grenades). The distance you can throw grenades increases with your strength.

Achievements Guide by Lothrian

This is a guide for the achievements of Crackdown, i will do my best to give tips and hints on how best to unlock them.

1: Take Me To Your Supply Point: This achievement is very easy and will most likely be the first one you unlock, make your way to a supply point and press Y to enter and unlock it.

2: First Blood: Each of the 3 gangs have 6 members and 1 kingpin, killing the members will weaken the defenses of the kingpin and the entire gang as a whole, kill your first gang memner to unlock this achievement.

3: High Flyer: You will need to have either a 3 or 4 star agility to be able to climb to the top of the agency tower, there are multiple routes to get there but you shouldn't have too much trouble getting to the top.

4: Base Jumper: Once you have made your way to the top of the agency tower look over the edge to find a small pool of water below, jump from the tower and land in the water.

5: Airtime Assassin: Kill enough gang members and they will send hit squads after you which means there will be larger groups of enemys, if you have a high agility throw a grenade or two at a group of enemys then jump into the air, if you don't have high agility then stand on a buildings roof and throw grenades at enemys below then jump off the roof before they explode, if you have either of the two rocket launchers then this achievement is much easier.

6: Bare-Knuckle Brawler: An easy achievement, simply beat enemys to death with the B button.

7: Roadkill King: Another simple achievement, simply mow down enemys while driving a vehicle.

8: Untouchable Agent: Later gangs are tougher and will kill you faster so this achievement is much easier to unlock with the Los Muertos gang, just kill over 200 enemys without regenerating.

9: Shot-Putter: You will need a 3 or 4 star strength rating for this achievement, once you have high strengh pick up any object other than a grenade and carry it to a high building or structure and jump off the building with forward momentum and throw the object, immedietly hold down on the movement stick to move your character farther away from the thrown object while falling, the lighthouse on the north Los Muertos island works very well for this achievement.

10: Chain Banger: Near the ferris wheel is a beach with a wodden pier and at the end of the pier is a ring of explosive barrels, there are many more explosive barrels in front of the houses along the beach front, shoot the explosive barrels on the pier to start a chain reaction then immedietly run to the beach front houses and throw grenades at the many barrels there to start another chain reaction, this has to be done within 60 seconds so if your fast enough you will unlock the achievement, the barrels also respawn so you can try as many times as you like.

11: Double Trouble: A very easy achievement, simply host of join a co-op game and take out any one of the 21 gang members to unlock this achievement.

12: Tag Teamer: To unlock this you need to kill all the 21 gang members while in co-op, it can be hard unlocking this if you have completed the solo game or are joining somebody else game since you cannot control what gang members they have already killed and what ones you need to kill, a much easier way to do this is partner up with a friend and play co-op time trial which means you can select what gang members you want to kill and in what order, the time is also displayed which can help in keeping track of which members you have killed, kill all 21 with a co-op partner in the game and this achievement will be yours.

13: Global Impact: Drive out from the agency keep through door 2, once you are outside get out of your car and turn left, jump over some rocks and you will see a big dome building in the distance, this is the observatory and the globe is located in the parking lot at the front, kick or shoot the stand the globe is held in and it will roll free, simply throw or kick the globe at 15 gang thugs and this achievement will unlock.

14: Over Our Heads: Rooftop races are marked with big green beams of light, simply complete all 12 of these races under the par time to unlock this achievement, if you are having trouble finding the locations of these races then use an online guide map or the map from the official strategy guide.

15: Road Warrior: Road races are marked with big purple beams of light, simply complete all 14 road races under the par time to unlock this achievement, if you are having trouble finding the locations of these races then use an online guide map or the map from the official strategy guide.

16: Ring Leader: To unlock this you have to drive a vehicle through all 39 of the round purple stunt markers, the agency SUV at 4 star driving is best for attempting these since you can use the jump button to get alot of height, there are also trucks dotted around the game that can be used as portable ramps to get even bigger jumps for the more higher stunt markers.

17: Los Muertos Intel Master: When you get near to a gang members location your agency PDA will udpate with the exact location and infomation on your next target, after uncovering all 7 gang members locations for Los Muertos you will unlock this achievement.

18: Volk Intel Master: Exactly the same as Los Muertos Intel Master, uncover all 7 Volk gang member locations and this achievement will unlock

19: Shai-Gen Intel Master: Exactly the same as the previous two.

20: Los Muertos Cleanser: After killing all 7 gang members of Los Muertos including the kingpin you will have one final fight, after this fight you will unlock this achievement.

21: Volk Cleanser: Kill all 7 gang members from the Volk and then complete the final fight to unlock this achievement.

22: Shai-Gen Cleanser: Kill all 7 gang members from the Shai-Gen and then complete the final fight to unlock this achievement.

23: The Trifecta: After completing the previous three cleanser achievements you will unlock this achievement.

24: It's Good To Be Connected: Locate and retake all of the agency supply points from the entire city to unlock this achievement.

25: Repo Man: To Commandeer a gang controlled vehicle simply press Y next to a gang car that is flashing red to pull out the driver, an easy way to do this 100 times is to go into time trial and select Diaz from Los Muertos, once you spawn make you way inside the stunt arena and ignore Diaz, 5 or 6 gang vehicles will try to mow you down so simply commandeer all of these vehicles then kill Diaz and choose to retry the mission, do this as many times as it takes to unlock the achievement.

26: Stunt Driver: The 5 stunts include a left and right barrel roll, a front and back flip and a long jump which has to be more than 205 feet, the agency SUV at 4 stars is best suited for these stunts, use a portable ramp truck for the long jump and the stunt arena where you met the boss Diaz for the other 4 stunts.

27: Front Flipper: Either use a portable ramp truck with the 4 star SUV for the 2 forward front flips or drive off a high cliff and perform two front flips to unlock this achievement (make sure to land on a flat surface and not water).

28: Driving High: You only have to be in a vehicle which is 115 feet above sea level for this achievement to unlock, simply drive the SUV upto the gang statue on the north Los Muertos island and this should unlock.

29: Timed Stunt Driver: On the beach near the ferris wheel there are life guard huts with ramps, simply drive back and forth over them in the SUV performing barrel rolls and flips and you should unlock this if your fast enough, you have to perform 6 stunts within 60 seconds, remember to use the SUVs jump ability to your advantage.

30: Hazardous Hangtime: Place a portable ramp truck infront of the exit of either tunnel 1 or 2 of the agency keep and use the 4 star SUV and its jump button and you should stay in the air for more than 6 seconds easily.

31: Car Juggler: This is much easier if you have the 5 shot homing rocket launcher from the shai-gen, once you have the rocket launcher drive the agency supercar out of tunnel 1 and get out (make sure no gang members are around), now place some limpet charges (timed bombs) onto the car and back off, hold RB to detonate and the car should fly into the air, quickly run forward and fire your 5 rockets at the car in the air to keep it up, you do not have to use limpet charges and can simply fire a rocket at the car to lift it up then run underneath it and fire your other 4 rockets, the car has to stay in the air for seven seconds.

32: Body Juggler: Kill a gang member and pick up his body, look up and throw the body into the air, quickly fire your 5 rockets at the body and it should easily stay in the air for 10 seconds (a high strength is recommended so you can throw the body high into the air before shooting it).

33: Firing Squad: Use any type of gun (minus grenade & rocket launchers) to kill 500 gang thugs to unlock this achievement.

34: Mad Bomber: Use grenades, the grenade launcher or rocket launchers to kill 500 gang thugs to unlock this achievement.

35: Agency Athlete: Collecting green agility orbs, completing rooftop races under par time and shooting enemys from high rooftops will all give you agility stat orbs towards your agility ability, reach level 4 to unlock this achievement.

36: Agency Brawler: Kicking enemys and meleeing them with your gun to kill them will give you strength stat orbs towards your strength ability, kicking or meleeing civilians will take stat orbs away, reach level 4 to unlock this achievement.

37: Agency Marksman: Use guns (minus grenade & rocket launchers) to kill enemys will give you marksman stat orbs towards your firearms ability, the smaller the reticle becomes the more accurate your shots are and the faster you will kill the enemy, shooting civilians will take stat orbs away, reach level 4 to unock this achievement.

38: Agency Wheelman: Mowing down gang thugs, jumping cars through stunts markers and performing jumps and stunts will give you driving stat orbs towards your driving ability, mowing civilians down will take stat orbs away, reach level 4 to unlock this achievement.

39: Agency Explosives Expert: Use grenades, grenade & rocket launchers to kill gang thugs and you will be given explosives stat orbs towards you explosives ability, killing civilians will take stat orbs away, reach level 4 to unlock this achievement.

40: Master Agent: Once you have reached level 4 in all five abilities you will have to continue getting stat orbs for those abilities until the stats metre for each one reaches 99, once it reaches 99 obtain a few more orbs and it will change to --, this symbol means you have finished maxing out that stat and from now on when you die or kill civilians you will not have stat orbs taken away, fully max out all five stats until they show -- and you will unlock this achievement.

41: Orb Hunter: These hidden orbs will for the most part require the map from the official guide or an online map simply becasue they are hard to find and are hidden in/under and on the side of buildings and rocks/cliffs.

42: Free Runner: Collecting all 500 agility orbs won't require a map becasue these orbs are bright green and are placed in easy to see locations like on top of building and rocks, most people will have difficulty finding the last 5-1 orbs becasue the game world is so big so if you are having difficulty then you can use the map from the guide or an online map.

43: Rampage: This achievement is broken down into 6 sub-achievements, you will have to complete the 6 sub-achievements in order for the main achievement to unlock, the sub-achievements are as follows...

- Blow up 25 gang controlled vehicles in 60 seconds

- Kill 15 gang members with your bare hands or thrown objects in 60 seconds

- Shoot and kill 15 gang members in 60 seconds

- Use explosives to kill 25 gang members in 60 seconds

- Use a vehicle to kill 10 gang members in 60 seconds

- Pop 20 tires on gang controlled vehicles in 60 seconds

Most of those are self-explanatory but some people have trouble with the pop 20 tires sub-achievement so here is a tip, once you have killed Diaz the peacekeepers will take over the stunt arena, the gang cars will still be inside though, there will be 4 cars parked at the back and one at the entrance, quickly aim and shoot all the tires on the 4 cars at the back then run to the entrance and shoot the final 4 tires on the car parked there and if your fast enough you should unlock the achievement.

Car Juggler and Body Juggler Guide by ICEMANVGD

Ok, first off you will need the following weapons that are located on the island of Shai-Gen:

1. HE99-X"Firefly" (This basicly is the homing Rocket Launcher)

2. Cluster Grenades

Now what you need to do is to find yourself a nice sized wall away from enemy gangs. Any size wall will do fine it is just better to have a straight one to help guide the vehicle or body better in the air.

Car Juggler: Find a car near your location. Take the car an place it by your wall. Switch to Cluster Grenades and throw it underneath the vehicle. Once the vehicle is up in the air lock on to it using the L - Trigger and shoot it with your HE99 or "Homing Rocket Launcher". Shoot it several times but make sure to pace yourself you must keep this vehicle in the air for at least seven seconds.

*Tip to Car Juggler* - It really helps to use smaller vehicles rather than big trucks or vans.

Body Juggler - Find yourself a random body or a enemy gang member and place him on the same or a different wall that you personally used to get the Car Juggler achievement. Repeat what you did in the Car Juggler achievement, switch your weapon to Cluster Grenades throw at body. When body is in the air lock on using your L- Trigger and shoot the body with the "Homing Rocket Launcher". You really shouldn't have to pace yourself on this one, but just incase I would do the same routine that you did with the Car Juggler Achievement just to be safe. For this achievement to work however you must keep the body in the air for at least Ten seconds.

*Tip to Body Juggler* - If you are having problems getting this achievement, try placing the body next to a ledge with a good drop area and try it there. This way you have a further fall distance then on the ground.

I hope this little guide helped you. This is my first guide I have ever written so comments would be appreciated.

Thanks guys! Icemanvgd

More Car Juggler tips (Il Naste, Ollie Stacey, Malbozia Viatti)

I did this last night. Get the limpet charges and a light car (the smart car lookalike for preference, there's one near the entrance to the agency tunnel link to the first island). You don't need to be high up, just cover the car in the limpet charges then throw it straight up and lock on immediately, detonate the charges and then hit it with the five firefly rockets. When it comes back down again you should get the achievement.

1.go on co-op

2.find a truck with a ramp on it

3.you and your mate will need the homing rocket launcher

4.one person pick up the car and stand on top of the ramp

5.other person stand next to it

6.jump and throw the car, as soon as the car has been thrown switch to homing launcher and blast away

7. other person also blast away at the airbourne car

NOTE only the person who throws the car will get the achievement, this has worked every time for me and i have helped many people

This is the easyiest of the easy ways to get it.....no hassle...

beat the game...turn crime off...then go to the oil rig....on the rig there is a yellow platform...on that platform is explosives....and 2 golf cart looking things....

this is how you will know where it is...

Now pick up one of those really light weight golf cart things....make sure you have your heat seaking rocket launcher...

jump and throw the cart stright up in the air....lock onto it with your laucher...and comense shotting it with the launcher...i counted all five rockets....hitting at 1 per second...the way i was shooting...by the time it hits the water it will take at least 2 seconds if not more...

BOOM....You get your car juggler....super easy...

Rampage Achievement guide by WhiTeDragoN 47

There are a total of 6 different things needed to do in order to get this achievement

      1) Blow up 25 gang controlled vehicles in 60 seconds

               I know it says 25 cars but I did it with 16.  first, start a co-op time trial with a friend on the Diaz  mission.  Next eliminate all of the enemies outside and on the balcony.  Then have your friend stand outside where the 3 cars are and have him put them next to each other.  After he has done that, let him stand there and watch the cars so they don't dissapear.  Now you keep running in and out of the stadium, getting one car at a time and place them right next to each other.  When all 16 cars are next to each other, blow them up and you will get the sub-achievement. * don't know if this a a typo or glitch but I got it at 16 cars and my friend recieved it at 14 cars.

   

      2) Kill 15 gang members with your bare hands or thrown objects in 60 seconds

               Very easy to do, just go to the diaz mission again and punch and kick the enemies until you get it.  If you've been playing, you should have it.

 

     3) Shoot and kill 15 gang members in 60 seconds

              Very easy. Just do it at the Diaz mission while you are here.  Shoot and kill 15 gang members.  If you've been playing, you should already have it.

 

     4)  Use explosives to kill 25 gang members in 60 seconds

               Very simple, play the Diaz mission again, bring a "firefly" or other rocket launcher and blast away.

 

     5) Use a vehicle to kill 10 gang members in 60 seconds

            Play the diaz mission or just roam around the city and hit 10 gang members under 60 seconds.  Its very easy

 

      6) Pop twenty tires of gang controlled vehicles in 60 seconds

            Start up a co-op game with a friend and turn crimes off.  Go to the stadium where the Diaz misson takes place.  Take 5 cars and line them up next to each other, with the fronts and backs of each car is touching the fronts and backs of the other cars.  Once all 5 cars a line up, shoot out all the tires. *Gang members don't need to be in the car for this to work

 

After you have completed all of this you will unlock the Achievement  "Rampage-Wreak havoc in 60 second increments"

Alley of the Den Race (Seb656, BlancoXXX 3, WRATH UK, Cloud7654)

Use the car that looks like a BMW Z Coupe. There should be 2 of them sitting in the garages right next to the start of the race.

Listen up guys...

I did this on CO-OP.. have your teammate get a AGENCY SUPER CAR and wait for you past the yellow cone looking things... and then you go get yourself another SUPER CAR and start the race... you should be able to pass the first jump with no problem if you go with enough speed... when you get to the coned off alley.. jump out of your car and get in the car that your teammate had waiting for you... and go on your way... you should do it with no problem because of its significant speed and ability to drive literally THROUGH vehicles...

 

*The super car DOES fit through the cones... BUT, you will have to go in a really straight line in between them... or go through the left side of the RIGHT MOST cone (between the cone all the way to the right and the wall)*

or get a ramp truck and park it in from on the part which is blocked up by stumps , just fly ur supercar straight over it, managed to do it with plenty of time to spare that way

Took me four tries, but the last time was epic. I didn't notice that I had the Agency on my tail when I started (from running so many people over in previous attempts), but I got in the sports car and was off. I hit the ramp perfectly, went through the stunt marker and drifted right into the turn. I then floored it to the coned off area where I had a 4 Star Supercar waiting for me. At this point, I had about 12 cop cars after me. I flew right around the corners and managed to get into the tight little tunnel at full speed with no problems. I had no problems on the open area until I was just about to head into the docks area. That's when they popped my tire. I sluggishly rounded the corner with my popped tire and managed to get to the next checkpoint when they popped my other back tire! I continued through the checkpoints and when I hit the 2nd to last checkpoint, they popped BOTH of my other tires. So I tossed a grenade into a poorly made blockade of cop cars and jumped over it and into my next checkpoint. I ran as fast as I could to the finish line and right before I got there, a cop car hit me from behind and pushed me in. It was the hardest, but coolest race I've ever done.

Edit: I managed to finish in 1:32:069

Repo Man Achievement (KALIBER, Ace o4x,

they must be in the car, you'll notice it will flash red instead of the usual blue/purple colour.

it is Actually easier when you beat the game because you can turn on crime and it seems to make the gangs come out in full force all the time. Go to the volk and do it because they always have a million cars out and about.

If they hop out of the car just run away a little bit and they will get back in and follow you. ill private chat you and show you my way of getting it, i have not done it yet but it will go pretty quick with my method.

Base Jumper Tips (Mersonix, Flamitizer KO)

    You must be at the highest tower, and you will get the achievement when you are at that point.  You will get base jumper when you land in the water.  Don't aim for the ocean, the first time i bounced like 40 feet.

Theres a small pool of water infront of the ocean to the back of the tallest tower (where the spotlight is). Jump into and it is deep enough to live and it looks small from up top, but as you fall it gets bigger and easier to land in.

Shot Putter Tips ( TRU89x, melancholy43920)

The way i did it was i went to the top of cowells building the one with the red dome on it in shi gen and i picked up a chair climb to the top of the dome and just through it off.  also make sure you are throwing it and not accidentally pushing B to just drop it

this is the cheap way to do it, but toss a dead body into the ocean. it will sink to the bottom and several seconds after you toss it you get the achievement.

Hazardous Hangtime Achievement Tips (MostSuperDuper, jedipoox, cody gooden, CRIX 01)

This video should help you out, link

Its best to use a police car, I tryed jumping that far at level 3 driving with the SUV but kept hitting the front of the building, when I got a police car I was able to land on the beach and got the achievement


i got mine with the suv at 4 stars. i used the ramp truck and while trying to get 2x front flip i got this achievement too. i put the ramp truck at the top of a slight hill near where you pop out of at the start of the game. and jumped it and got my two achievements.

go to the colonel from the shai gen missions building... ride the elevator up with the suv and just drive off the balcony where u climb up to the boss... just lvl out and fall correctly and when you land you should get it...

if ur a level 4 you could have tried tunnel 2 the volk, when you see the ramp at the end of the tunnel hold B and let go just as you hit the ramp you will sail over the rocks and stuff for a good 9 secs i did it that way, it's also good for the 2 flip achievement

Time Car Stunts Achievement Tips (X mad X max X, Budweiser Man 1, l EcHo 360 l)

Go down south in the Los Muertos territory to the beach. There are about 4 buildings with ramps on the sides, just keep driving back and forth doing stunts.

I did it in the northern part of Los Muertos. There's a kind of stadium filled with dirt and ramps. I just went of each ramp and did something. Only hard part is the twisting ramp, but as long as you're going only 95~105 you won't bang against the girders above.

    It does not have to be six different car stunts, just 6 total.
The easiest way to do this is to have a co-op partner with level 4 strength to pick up the Agency SUV while you are in it, jump up and throw it, and land a barrel roll. Do this 6 times in one minute and you will receive an achievement. I found the Los Muertos beach an easy place to do this because there is a lot of room and not many civilians to accidentally kill. Good luck!

    You drive it in the elevator and ride it up to the top (tower opposite Wang's tower). If you sit in your car from when you push the button to go up, you can also get the "FLYING HIGH" Achievement too.

What I did was I went off a small rock shaped like a ramp that's facing the carnival ferris wheel in La Mugre island. As I went off I did a front flip and miracously flew through the spokes of the ferris wheel and landed on the beach. I wasn't even trying to get it.

If you've got 4 star driving, then go to Los Muertos beach with SUV. start your run on the beach near the bridge with the archways, launch off the lifeguard hut ramp using the B button jump as well. if you catch enough air to clear the pier walkway you'll get it.

 The beach here is also where you can get 5 stunts in 60 seconds (6 sec of air first, then others b jumping off the 2 hut's ramps)

Jump 200 Feet Tips (FURY1AN, ShotsRangOut, XxReckless1xX)

go the agency supply point. exit out of tunnel 1 with the SUV. follow the road from the exit, and take a left so your headed towards the ferris wheel, keep following that road til you go by the sports complex and the will be a rock on your right, its wedge shaped and kinda looks like an upside down V. thats the rock you wanna jump off, so just go down that same your on a ways to build up some speed, then head for the rock and make sure to us the SUV's jump when you go off the rock. you should land on the beach by the lifeguard huts close to the water and you should get the achievement. if you dont get it the first try just try a couple times, and i also found that it works better at night because theres less traffic in the way when your trying to get enough speed. and also if you want to gte the front flipper achievement (two front flips) this is a good spot to do it too. in case you didnt have it, i didnt check. hope that helps

if youre trying to do the long jump then just go out of tunnel 1 with the SUV and use the springloading at the end of the tunnel... you fly well over 200

Best way alone is just to get on the elevator that is inside one of the skyscrapers in Shai Gen territory that had the Black shai gen boss inside. All you have to do is drive in the the elevator, push the button to make it go up, then just sit in the car and eventually you will get the achievement.

Destroy 25 gang cars in 60 seconds tips (X mad X max X, Wyld Ryde)

I think I did mine in Shai-Gen at Comfortitude LTD supply. On the buildings near by there are gang members that respawn pretty fast. Use the Grenadier and Firefly to keep blowing them up until the hit squads come and just keep blowing their cars up. You never have to leave the rooftop so the supply is always right there for when you run out of ammo.

Crackdown FAQ: Version 1.0
Made by: l EcHo 360 l

With the U.S. release of Crackdown already behind us and the European and Asian territorial relases days away, I thought it would be a good idea for a guide about the game, what it has to offer and other information. This is for people interested in purchasing the game or newcomers to learn about the basics. I hope you enjoy it!

Please note: This guide is not intended to be a walkthrough on how to beat missions, just a detailed introduction about the game and how to play. Hopefully this answers any questions you have about the game.

A. Introduction:

    You are the last hope! The Agency is very grateful you have volunteered to help protect the members of Pacific City. The situation is that our capital is being controller by three violent gangs- Los Muertos, the Shai-Gen Corporation, and the Volk. In response to this outburst of crime, The Agency has discovered the work of the scientist (and Shai-Gen general) Dr. Baltazar Czernenko, who created a human-modification procedure, which is used to create Agents like yourself. Your abilities include amazing evolution and regeneration.

Your primary objective is to break the bonds of these gangs and eliminate all resistance and leaders. Doing this will restore peace to Pacific City. Good luck!

C. Game Modes

There are 3 difficulties- Tough (Easy), Ruthless (Medium), and Psychotic (Hard).

Solo Campaign:

In the Solo Campaign you take on the scum of Pacific City alone, improving your skills and getting the best information fed to you by the Agency Network.

Co-Op Campaign:

In the Co-Op Campaign, it is very similar to the Solo Campaign, but you can take on mission with another Agent.

Time Trials:

Once you trigger the dossier for a boss by getting near the mission area, that mission is playable in Time Trials mode. Here, you face any unlocked mission while being timed. Once you are involved in a Time Trial the surrounding area will be blocked off, then it will be you versus the Boss or Kingpin and their henchmen.

II. Abilities/Orbs

As an Agent, you have certain abilites that will increase over time, making you faster, stronger, or a better shooter. These are broken down into 5 main categories. The maximum rating you can reach is 4 stars. Once you have maxed out the skill the percentage to the next star will read "--" instead of a 5th star. Picking up icons around Pacific City known as Orbs will increase a certain stat, or if you pick up a hidden orb (?), it will increase every stat somewhat. These orbs are scattered everywhere, so get hunting!

i. Agility

Agility is perhaps the most important and most efficient ability. It allows you to jump higher and run faster than a normal person would. Make this your primary objecte. Here is a list of ways to increase this statistic:

• Kill enemies from high locations
• Find Agency Agility Supplements
• Find Hidden Orbs
• Complete Rooftop Races
• Take out Kingpins

ii. Driving

Driving is not a beneficial as the other abilites. You could go around the whole time afoot, but it is a good stat to have up in case you want to evade an area quickly. Here is a list of ways to improve this statistic:

• Kill enemies while in a car
• Complete driving stunts
• Find hidden orbs
• Complete road races
• Take out Kingpins

iii. Explosives

Your Explosives ability is very valuable. You can kill multiple enemies at once and get a chance to reload. Increase your Explosives ability by:

• Killing enemies with grenades, rockets, exploding vehicles, etc.
• Finding the hidden orbs
• Killing the Kingpins

iv. Strength

Strength can be a fun one to go for. You can lift objects such as people and use them to kill other people. Once you build up your strength you can even pick up trucks to cause mayhem! Here's how to level is up:

• Kill enemies with heavy objects and melee attacks
• Find hidden orbs
• Take out the Kingpins

v. Weapons

This is most likely the second most important ability. You will rank up quickly with this as using firearms is the primary way to fight crime. Your accuracy will increase and your range will as well. Here's how to rank up your Weapons ability:

• Kill enemies by shooting them
• Find hidden orbs
• Kill Kingpins

III. Supply Points and Markers

i. Supply Points

The premise of Supply Points are to give the Agents a place to restore health and ammo. They are scattered among Pacific City and can be used to move quickly around the city. When you get near one it is revealed by a marker, an orange beam on your HUD. When you take enemy weapons, return them to Supply Points and they will be added to your armory for later use.

ii. Markers

There are 3 types of markers- stunt, rooftop races, and road races.

1. Stunt Markers
1. These are the circles of light floating in the sky. Drive a car through them and your Driving ability will increase.
   
2. Rooftop Race Markers
1. Indicated by green beams of light, rooftop races are used for Agents to test their running skills and increase your Agility skills rating.
3. Road Race Markers
1. The purple gates of light are road race markers. If you beat the goal time your Driving ability will increase.

IV. Weapons

Previously in the Gangs sections they each had their own personal arsenal, now here is the complete list:

• Pistols:
• Colby "Master"
• Clip Size: 12, Max. Clips: 15, Max Ammo: 180

G. General Tips

• Concentrate on your skills before worry about trying to take on the Bosses and Generals.
  
• Search the area for the orbs and complete many Marker Challenges.
• Be well-rounded- kill your enemies with various techniques to get all your skills up.
• If you're getting hurt significantly, find cover or drive away.
• Your fists are as good as your firearms, so use them! Get up close and personal and show those gangs how an Agent rolls.
• Carry the world on your shoulders...kind of. When running low on ammo, use your surroundings. You never know what you may find to make your day easier.
• 2 heads are better than 1- co-op is not only more fun than playing alone, but you can get the job done twice as fast.
• Unlock Supply Points. These can be very helpful to replenish your health and ammo, and you can teleport between them to move around Pacific City quickly.
• Use what you're given- If you find a special weapon from an enemy, take it back to a Supply Point for later use.
• Use different strategies- you can take on obstacle from different angles and see what works best.
• Have fun and be ready for the Halo 3 Beta! If you don't have Xbox Live Gold or a Hard Drive, get one soon and don't be left out for the Beta.
