Section I: Introduction
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've seen many a topic on the message board, demanding help on a Challenge or
Arcade League match. There have been FAQs for the Arcade League mode and the
Challenge mode separately, but none for the Challenge mode and the Arcade
League mode together. So, now you have one.

-----| Glass Smash |-----
+-------------+
---Pane in the Neck---
Information
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Briefing: Those Russian soldiers aren't that bright! Today's military training
involves breaking all the glass in the Siberian compound. Nikolai managed this
in one minute flat. Beat his time or you'll be the laughing stock of the
barracks for weeks!
Character: Lt. Frost
Level: Siberia (Outside)
Bronze: 1:00.0 Silver: 0:00.30 Gold: 0:18.0 Platinum: 0:11.0
Rewards: Rotating Heads (Cheat)
Strategy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are a few variations to get a good time here. I'll be relating mine. From
the start, run to the small stairs and strafe up them. Fire a grenade at the
windows near the metal stairs. Fire two grenades in the top floor windows of
the large building. One should bounce to the back and destroy the door window.
The other should stay near the windows. It will destroy the top floor and
bottom floor windows. Run between the small building behind you (the one that
has a Med Kit in Golden Thighs) and the lower dam area. Fire a grenade through
its windows so that it takes those four out. Run along the edge until you get
to the area between the two small buildings on the edge. Fire a grenade through
its window and get those four. Run between the buildings, fire a grenade
through the last door, and let it take the other windows out.
---Bricking it---
Information
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Briefing: After Private Poorly's incident with a grenade yesterday, all
ammunition has been confiscated until further notice. This is no excuse to miss
training though, so you'll have to improvise!
Character: Lt. Frost
Level: Siberia (Outside)
Bronze: 1:30.0 Silver: 0:45.0 Gold: 0:35.0 Platinum: 0:27.9
Rewards: Brick (Weapon)
Strategy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You'll have to be quick and nearly perfect to do this well. From the start,
immediately run up the small stairs. Throw bricks and knock out all of the top
floor and bottom floor windows on the large building. Run down the side, hit
the three windows near the stairs, and then go up the stairs. Hit the window on
the door, and then drop down to the side of the small building. Hit its
windows, then the door, and then move to the small building near the entrance.
Hit its door and windows, then move to the last building. Hit the windows as
you approach. When you are destroying the last windows, try to throw a brick so
that it hits the door window as well. It takes a little practice, though.
---Stain Removal---
Information
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Briefing: The life of a zombie would be far more pleasant if it weren't for the
Hunchback spoiling the Wednesday morning sacrifices. Get your own back on him,
and knock out as many stained glass windows as you can within the time limit.
Character: Undead Priest
Level: Notre Dame (Upper)
Bronze: 23 Silver: 28 Gold: 32 Platinum: 32 & 0:47.9
Rewards: The Hunchback (Character)
Strategy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As soon as the match starts, back pedal to either side. As you do, shoot the
three lower windows near where you start. Look up as you go and take out the
windows as you strafe by. Use incendiary grenades to take out the far windows
and the ones in the side cavities. As soon as you shoot all the glass, run
around to the other side and repeat the process.
+-------------------+
-----| Behead the Undead |-----
+-------------------+
---Fight Off the Living Dead---
Information
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Briefing: Another one of Khallos' attempts to take over the world has failed at
the hands of Harry Tipper. As usual, Khallos has fled the scene, leaving a
henchman to deal with the consequences (lots of zombies in this case). See how
long you can keep him alive for...
Character: Henchman
Level: Compound
Bronze: 10,000 Silver: 15,000 Gold: 20,000 Platinum: 145,000
Rewards: Sewer Zombie (Character)
Strategy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This takes more patience and endurance than skill. You can try punching the
zombies during the first few waves, as punching them will net you 100 points a
hit, while shooting them only gets you 75. If you're not good at punching,
though, just shoot them, and try to get Perfect ratings for the first four or
five waves. Know the starting patterns. After the first few waves, two zombies
will always start in the lower right room, then one will come from the left
hallway, then they'll do it once again before the main swarm arrives. Grab the
Shotgun as soon as you need the ammo. When the room starts to get crowded,
circle around, shooting them. Don't get trapped in corners, and always use the
crosshairs; they guarantee a head shot.
---Sergio's Last Stand---
Information
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Briefing: The last act performed at the circus tonight, this will star our very
own Sergio the Strongman. We feel privileged to welcome our guests, a time
traveling troupe of flaming zombies. Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands
together for Sergio's Last Stand!
Character: Sergio
Level: Circus
Bronze: 5,000 Silver: 15,000 Gold: 25,000 Platinum: 35,000
Rewards: Sergio (Character)
Strategy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As with Fight Off the Living Dead, use your crosshairs for guaranteed head
shots. Also make use of the quick switch to instantly reload your 12-Guage. As
soon as the math starts, run behind either post and grab the fire extinguisher
on the ground. If you catch fire at any time, simply arm the fire extinguisher,
point it at the ground, and fire it until you're extinguished. The same basic
strategy from Fight Off the Living Dead applies here. Don't be afraid to stray
from the area to avoid damage, but don't get counted out.
---Day of the Damned---
Information
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Briefing: It looks rather like curiosity got the better of Nikolai. Gunshots or
no gunshots, he'd have been better off steering clear of the research center
altogether, and he should definitely have taken his gun. Keep him alive for as
long as you can, using just his fists!
Character: Nikolai
Level: Siberia (Inside)
Bronze: 10,000 Silver: 15,000 Gold: 20,000 Platinum: 25,000
Rewards: Feeder Zombie (Character)
Strategy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first few waves are pretty tame. Try to clear the first few waves with
Perfect ratings. Once things pick up. You'll want to constantly spin your view,
since monsters appear on all sides of you. Going out of the area is okay, but
try to go through open panes if possible, since jumping through glass hurts
you. If the area gets crowded, run around the outer area. The zombies will
damage each other. Whenever you hear them getting hurt, jump in and knock a few
heads off, then continue circling the area. You won't get points as quickly
this way, but you'll last longer.
+--------------+
-----| Infiltration |-----
+--------------+
---Silent but Deadly---
Information
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Briefing: Even highly dangerous mercenaries like Gregor Lenko need to use
stealth when outnumbered. Destroy the radar and enter the dam, without being
detected by any of the Russian guards.
Character: Gregor Lenko
Level: Siberia (Outside)
Bronze: 0 Silver: 700 Gold: 1,000 Platinum: 1,000 & 0:39.9
Rewards: Viking (Hat)
Strategy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A couple of tips first: if you don't hit a guard in the head, restart; try and
use only one shot to knock out the camera. From the start, run up and grab the
Silenced Pistol and Sniper Rifle. Aim up toward the guard on the railing before
you switch to your scope. Take out the guard and the camera. Slide left a
little and shoot the guard that patrols between the buildings. Move forward and
left until you see the female guard. Shoot her, and then run through the fence.
Run toward the metal stairs. As soon as you see the guard between the stairs,
take your shot. Run up the stairs and activate the switch in the building. Run
across the bridge to the hole in the ceiling. When you fall in, activate the
door, then back up and grab the mines. Run out the door and around the left
corner. As soon as you pass under the wooden plank, throw a mine up at the
dish. Switch to the Temporal Uplink. Run right up under the camera, then along
the side of the small building on your right. Run down the stairs and into the
dam.
---Trouble at the Docks---
Information
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Briefing: It's 3am and a new shipment has just arrived by barge, so there are
goons crawling all over the docks! If you want to get through the Falucci Bros.
warehouse alive, particular care will be needed.
Character: Lady Jane
Level: Chicago (Beginning)
Bronze: 0 Silver: 700 Gold: 1,000 Platinum: 1,000 & 0:24.9
Rewards: Pirate (Hat)
Strategy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strafe right, and then jump off the ladder to the left. Kill the guard, then
turn right and get off the barge. Go up the stairs and peek around the corner.
As soon as the guard turns his back, run up the stairs. Hug the right wall at
the top, and then go around the corner. Kill the guard at the top of the
stairs, and then run down the stairs. If you're fortunate, the last guard will
have his back to you. Shoot him, and then run out the door.
---Escape from Neo Tokyo---
Information
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Briefing: It's late past curfew, and Chastity Detroit has ended up stuck in a
rough district of Neo Tokyo. If the police find her, she'll spend the night in
a cell, so get her out without being spotted! The temporal uplink should come
in handy here.
Character: Chastity
Level: Neo Tokyo (Streets)
Bronze: 0 Silver: 700 Gold: 1,000 Platinum: 1,000 & 0:19.9
Rewards: Big Ears (Hat)
Strategy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the level begins, hold forward to start running. Run straight forward to
pass the first camera, then slide right a little to avoid the second. Now
here's the tricky part. As you pass the second camera, there's a small alcove
that the third camera is about to block. You need to duck inside before it's
blocked if you want the platinum. As the camera sways by, run out to the alcove
near the corner. As soon as the police car's side is facing you, make a break
for the end, avoiding the cameras.
+--------------+
-----| Banana Chomp |-----
+--------------+
---Gone Bananas---
Information
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Briefing: Jojo the Monkey has been causing mischief around the village, and the
villagers have had enough. To teach him a lesson, they've thrown his bananas
away. Help him get them back!
Character: Monkey
Level: Aztec Ruins
Bronze: 1:30.0 Silver: 1:00.0 Gold: 0:55.0 Platinum: 0:45.0
Rewards: Private Coal (Character)
Strategy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Run forward, and then follow the path until you reach the pillar room. As you
enter, you should have three bananas. Grab the bananas on the left, go around
between the pillars for three more, and then around again for the other two.
Grab two more, and then go across to the ramp for the banana. Go up the stairs
for two more, and then go in the doorway. Grab the one in the corner, and then
head right. Grab the three on the right side, and then grab the far left as you
head back out. Go around the corner, then left, into one of the early rooms in
Story mode. Grab the first one you see, then strafe right for one more. Go
forward and repeat. Grab the two in the back, then the one on the mound. Go
into the hallway until you get to the final stretch. Grab the two on the left
side, and then turn around for another. Go to the right for three more, and
then go back across the log. Grab the one you see, the one in the trench, and
then the one by the door.
---Monkey Business---
Information
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Briefing: Jojo's been up to his old tricks again, and the villagers are really
riled now. Not only have they taken the bananas, but they've conjured up some
zombies to stop Jojo forever. Keep that monkey alive!
Character: Monkey
Level: Aztec Ruins
Bronze: 1:30.0 Silver: 1:05.0 Gold: 0:58.0 Platinum: 0:48.0
Rewards: Private Poorly (Character)
Strategy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The strategy is exactly the same as Gone Bananas, except that you have to avoid
the undead as you go along. Learn where they are and avoid them as you move
along. A few areas can be frustrating, like the area just after the six
pillars. Just keep trying, as a bit of luck is involved where zombies pop up.
---Playing with Fire---
Information
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Briefing: Jojo shot The Wood Golem with a flaming crossbow bolt. The Golem's
not got long left but he's intent on getting his own back by eating as many of
Jojo's bananas as possible! Go for the burn, Woody!
Character: Wood Golem
Level: Aztec Ruins
Bronze: 18 Silver: 22 Gold: 24 Platinum: 24 & 0:00.9 left
Rewards: Wood Golem (Character)
Strategy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go forward to the corner, right, and then take the first left. You should have
two now. Grab the banana in front of you, then the one to your right. Grab the
five in the pillar room, and then move to the next path. Grab the three in this
hallway. When you get to the fourth, take a left. Grab five in the next room.
Don't bother with the one on the far side. Head down to the next area. Grab the
group of five in front of you, and then head to the right near the dead end for
the last.
NOTE: If you get a gold, don't allow the game to save. There is a glitch. If
you do get the gold, and let it save, you will be unable to get the platinum
medal.

-----| Cut-Out Shoot-Out |-----
+-------------------+
---Take 'em Down---
Information
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Briefing: Uh-oh! The small town of Little Prospect is under siege by some
vicious cardboard figures, and it looks like they have no intention of leaving.
Take 'em down!
Character: Elijah Jones
Level: Wild West
Bronze: 1,500 Silver: 2,500 Gold: 3,500 Platinum: 4,000 (4,300 MAX)
Rewards: Ample Sally (Character)
Strategy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You have to aim for body shots to get 100 points for a target. To start off,
shoot the alien against the far wall, since you have only one chance. Shoot the
two bandits on either side. Shoot the alien at the corner, then the bandit that
comes out of the house. Shoot the six cutouts on the roof of the sheriff's
building, and the three in the windows. Shoot the one hiding behind the old
lady, and then move on. Shoot the two that pop up in front of you, then the two
on the far roof. There are three that slide across the streets. Turn left just
before the barn and turn left. Shoot the cutout that appears, but make the shot
count; he only appears once. Shoot the three on the upper level of the barn,
and the two on the lower level. There are two on both the first and second
floors of the building across from the barn. On the building past the barn,
there are two on the upper level, and one on the lower level. There is one in
the bank, and two on top of it. There are two targets on the building at the
end of the street. Turn the corner and take the last three shots.
---Fall Out---
Information
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Briefing: After turning snitch on Big Tony, it seems poor Marco didn't have his
escape route planned. Tony's not the brightest of guys though, and he's sent
some cardboard cutouts after Marco. Help Marco through Chicago without killing
any old ladies...
Character: Marco the Snitch
Level: Chicago
Bronze: 1,200 Silver: 1,500 Gold: 1,650 Platinum: 1,700 (1,700 MAX)
Rewards: Marco the Snitch (Character)
Strategy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shoot the targets as soon as they appear to avoid losing points. Walk forward
and around the right side of the box for the first cutout. Go around the left
side of the car for the second. The third appears on top of the large crate you
see. The fourth appears out from between the wall and a dumpster. The fifth
pops up in front of Marco's hideout. The sixth and seventh are on either side
of the car. The eighth appears from behind the crate around the corner. The
ninth is in the newsstand and the tenth is at the corner. Go around both sides
of the large stack of crates for the eleventh and twelfth. The garage opens for
the thirteenth. The fourteenth is behind the car. The fifteenth is above the
next car. Approach the right side of the last car for the sixteenth, then go
around the left side for the seventeenth.
---Pick Yer Piece---
Information
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Briefing: A lawman needs a gun he can rely on. Elijah's gone down to the
Compound to test out the performance of some firearms. Shoot as many cutouts as
you can- but remember, accuracy will also improve your score.
Character: Elijah Jones
Level: Compound
Bronze: 700 Silver: 875 Gold: 1,000 Platinum: 1,250 (1,700 MAX)
Rewards:
Strategy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I suggest switching aiming controls to where the left stick aims, especially
for all those who played GoldenEye and Perfect Dark. The key here is to know
where to look. I suggest using failurewarning's strategy, located at:

-----| TimeSplitters 'Story' Classic |-----
+-------------------------------+
---Badass Bus Pass Impasse---
Information
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Briefing: Badass Cyborg is having one of those days. First of all he loses his
bus pass and now he's realized that his spare brain is on the other side of
town. It's not going to be easy going to get it back on foot. Especially when
Special Forces have been deployed... again!
Character: Badass Cyborg
Level: Streets
Bronze: 5:00.0 Silver: 3:00.0 Gold: 1:30.0 Platinum: 0:45.0
Rewards: Badass Cyborg (Character)
Strategy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This level is all about speed. Never stop for anything. Time is not your friend
here. First off, run straight forward and around the corner, staying along the
right wall. When the woman jumps out, go for a head shot. If you can, great; if
not, oh well. Grab the Soviet if you killed her and keep going. When soldiers
get in front of you, use the soviet to take them out. Run down the path,
weaving to and fro so you won't get shot. When you reach the brain, grab it and
high tail it back to the start. Again, don't stop, and ignore guards that
aren't in your way.
---But Where do the Batteries Go?---
Information
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Briefing: R107's therapist won't be pleased. Just when it looked like he was
finally cured, his will has crumbled. He's slipped on a dark lycra bodysuit and
donned the crudely crayoned cardboard boxes once again. I- am- Robot!
Character: R One-Oh-Seven
Level: Scrapyard
Bronze: 10:00.0 Silver: 7:00.0 Gold: 5:30.0 Platinum: 4:30.0
Rewards: R One-Oh-Seven (Character)
Strategy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Run straight toward the entrance, ignoring the Chassis Bots as you go. Head
through the doors and into the first room. Shoot the Chassis Bot just in front
of you, then the one to the left as you head left down the corridor. Shoot the
Chassis Bot that appears, and then continue on. Turn the corner, and then waste
R-109. Ignore the walker bot you pass and head to the spiral-like room. Try to
kill the Chassis Bots as they appear in front of you. At the bottom, run by the
walker and keep running. There's an automated turret to avoid, and an R-109 on
the right. Kill the robot, and take his minigun. Warm it up, and keep moving.
Grab the body armor. In the next room, try to get out of the turret's range as
you take out the three R-109's. Head down the hallway on your right, and take a
right at the end. Take out the Chassis Bots in this room, and head straight
across. Kill the walker in the hall, and then turn the corner. Waste the wave
of Chassis Bots that appear, and keep moving. Kill the walker you see before
you grab the disk. Grab the disk, and run like mad. Try to avoid stopping to
fight anything that isn't blocking your path. Just get out and make it to the
Time Portal waiting outside.
---Hit Me Baby One Morgue Time---
Information
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Briefing: It's autopsy turvy down at the Hospital, the corpses just won't stay
put and undead priests are roaming the corridors. Mr. Underwood can't believe
his luck- he's brushed up his bowler hat and grabbed his trusty shotgun...
Character: Mr. Underwood
Level: Hospital
Bronze: 8:00.0 Silver: 4:00.0 Gold: 2:00.0 Platinum: 1:00.0
Rewards: The Cropolite (Character)
Strategy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the most part, you'll ignore the zombies if necessary. If an Undead Priest
gets in your way, shoot him; otherwise don't waste your time. Run forward and
into the left door. Run down the hall and ignore the zombies that rise to greet
you. Take the corner at the end wide to avoid the two zombies that try to
surprise you. Run through the large room toward the door. When the zombies
come, fake to one side, and then run around the other side past them. Run
straight through the next room with the stairs. Go down the hall until you get
to another room. Take the door right, into a hallway. Turn right and go in that
door, then left across the room with all the cots. When you approach the
stairs, you'll hear a Crispin. Walk up the stairs a little ways, and when he
falls off of the corner, run up the stairs. Go past the balcony and into the
other room with cots. Use the broken cots to avoid the Crispin, if they
appeared. Go out to the balcony, grab the Bones, and turn around. Work your way
back across the second floor to the other balcony. Leap of and into the Time
Portal.

-----| Monkeying Around |-----

---Simian Shootout---
Information
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Briefing: An unscrupulous merchant is trying to flood the market with imitation
clay monkeys. Use your trusty shotgun to dust those cheap replicas and put him
out of business!
Character: Mikey Two-guns
Level: Mexican Mission
Bronze: 600 Silver: 1,000 Gold: 1,800 Platinum: 2,000
Rewards:
Strategy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When the match starts, run up to either side of the fountain. Look up and
prepare for the monkeys. The key here is monkey combos. Another helpful thing
to do is learn where the monkeys come from. Use single blasts on the single
monkeys, and double blasts on the groups. You have unlimited ammunition, and
you don't have to reload, so don't worry about how often you fire.
---Monkey Mayhem---
Information
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Briefing: Some evil circus clowns have enslaved the performing monkeys and
forced them to carry their watermelons! Free the monkeys by shooting the
watermelons out of their paws, but aim carefully...
Character: Ringmistress
Level: Circus
Bronze: 1,000 Silver: 1,500 Gold: 2,500 Platinum: 3,000
Rewards:
Strategy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the start, center your crosshairs and zoom out all the way. Aim down until
there is just a small bit of area visible above the upper level barriers while
you're looking through the scope. You may have to fine tune to find the
position. Every single monkey runs by this spot. If you miss one of the monkeys
that runs from left to right, he'll swing back around, and you'll just have to
aim up a little to hit him. This challenge is mostly luck, as you'll need to
rely on many Monkey Combos to hit 3,000 points.
---Dam Bursters---
Information
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Briefing: The Russian Mafia object to the building of the Siberian Dam, and are
trying to destroy it through the tactical use of exploding monkeys. It's up to
you to save the villages downstream by blowing up the monkeys before they reach
the dam!
Character: Sgt. Shock
Level: Siberia (Atop dam)
Bronze: 4,000 Silver: 6,000 Gold: 8,000 Platinum: 9,300
Rewards:
Strategy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When the match starts, warm up your minigun with the secondary mode. Strafe
left and right as the monkeys come, trying to score combos as you go. Try to
shoot the monkeys that will hit the dam, and avoid the ones that fly high
overhead. If you're minigun overheats, do a quick switch, then when your weapon
comes back up, warm it up again.

Briefing: Everyone was enjoying a siesta at the mission until that dirty dog
Hector Baboso decided to liven things up. Now everyone's at each others
throats! Make 10 kills within ten minutes for a trophy!
Game Mode: Deathmatch Character: Elijah Jones
Level: Mexican Mission Target Rank/Score: 10

Rewards: Hector Baboso (Character), Lean Molly (Character)
Strategy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Getting the platinum here is based on a lot of luck and some skill. Try to
start in the outside area or somewhere near it. Your weapon of choice should be
the pistols (Luger x2) that you start out with. Hang out near the fountain
outside and kill anyone you see. If you die, you probably won't have time to
get the Platinum, so restart. Don't go hunting bots unless you only need one or
two kills. It takes practice and much luck to get under 40 seconds.
---Casualty---
Information
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Briefing: Dr. Peabody left the morgue door open and now zombies are running
loose all over the Hospital. Visiting time starts in ten minutes- try to kill
15 of the living dead before then!

Bronze: NTL Silver: 5:30.0 Gold: 3:30.0 Platinum: 1:00.0
Rewards: Dr. Peabody (Character), Crypt Zombie (Character)
Strategy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Try to start near the small hallway. (The one near the staircase.) Get a
LaserGun, Electrool, or Plasma Autorifle and stay in that general area. Again,
if you only need one or two more kills, go hunting, otherwise stay where you
are. It takes a lot of luck to get it in less than one minute, but it is
possible.
---Top Shot---

Try to find one general area to cover until right near the end. I suggest the
hangar or the area just off of it. (Not the side with all the crates.) Grab the
minigun closest to the start point, and then get to one of these areas. Kill
any bots that come to you. Most of them fall pretty easily, but there is one
Capt. Snow, who is much smarter and skilled than the rest. Don't be tempted to
run across the map to a group of bots. Most of the time, many of them will have
been killed, and will restart just where you left. When there are only one or
two bots left, and they only have a life or two, go ahead and chase them down,
otherwise, stay where you are. Avoid using the flamethrower, as the bots take
too long to die that way.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Briefing: Kitten Celeste is pretty miffed 'cause Harry Tipper has been spending
rather too much time in the company of the Jungle Queen. Kitten says too many
muscles look bad on a lady and her tan's fake anyway. So it looks like it's a
cat fight at the Dam!
Game Mode: Deathmatch Character: Kitten Celeste
Level: Siberia (Outside) Target Rank/Score: 5
Bronze: NTL Silver: 2:30.0 Gold: 2:00.0 Platinum: 1:35.0
Rewards: High Priest (Character), Aztec Warrior (Character)
Strategy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Try to get the spawn point on top of the building when you begin. Run over the
boards and grab the Soviet S47(x2) and make your way to the building with the
health kit in it. Face the door and shoot a grenade through the window every
few seconds. If she opens the door, fire the grenade, then move immediately to
the right. Whenever you kill her, if she managed to open the door, run out and
get the ammo, then come back in. Repeat as needed.

---Hangar Hat's Off!---
Information
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Briefing: The Henchmen think they're hard enough to beat a Special Forces' Team
in a shootout down at the old Hangar. They need to be taught a lesson.
Professional soldiers don't prance around dressed like bananas- and baseball
caps and IR goggles are so 90's.
Game Mode: Team Deathmatch Character: Sgt. Shock
Level: Hangar Target Rank/Score: 30
Bronze: NTL Silver: 2:00.0 Gold: 1:30.0 Platinum: 1:15.0
Rewards: Henchman (Character), Dark Henchman (Character)
Strategy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This can be a very frustrating challenge to do, mostly because you have to rely
heavily on your teammates for kills, much like Hack a Hacker. Get the Tactical
12-Guage or the Soviet S47 and head to the room under the crane. Most of the
Henchmen will swarm in this area or the area filled with crates. If the
Henchmen aren't near you, then run towards the biggest group you can find that
isn't near some of your team. This'll take several tries, but it is possible.
---Can't Please Everyone.---
Information
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Briefing: The Hospital needs redecorating. The Maidens like the idea of a
cheerful red but the Priests are dead set on blue. Test out your colour scheme
in key rooms to see what would be best.
Game Mode: Zones Character: Maiden
Level: Hospital Target Rank/Score: 800
Bronze: NTL Silver: 4:00.0 Gold: 3:00.0 Platinum: 2:30.0
Rewards: Maiden (Character), Changeling (Character)
Strategy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Use the incendiary shells from the Grenade Launcher to light the priests on
fire. They will burn for a long time since they have such a high Stamina
rating. Just capture the zones and keep the priests burning.
---Big Top Blowout---
Information
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Briefing: There's been unrest at the Circus since Stumpy hammered a tent peg up
Mr. Giggles' nose as part of last night's show. Mischief has cracked open a
crate of homing rocket launchers and now it's every freak for themselves!
Game Mode: Deathmatch Character: Ringmistress
Level: Circus Target Rank/Score: 1st
Bronze: NSL Silver: 25 Gold: 35 Platinum: 45
Rewards: Mr. Giggles (Character), Stumpy (Character)
Strategy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your character is reasonably fast, which is good. You'll be doing a lot of
running. You have one weapon to use: the Homing Launcher. As soon as the match
begins, find a Launcher. Start running toward large groups of enemies and blast
away. Avoid chasing single enemies, as they'll only slow you down. This can be
a long match, so get comfortable. Always stay moving, and aim low so that if
the rocket misses your target, it'll hit the ground, and do some damage if it
doesn't kill them anyway.

---Bags of Fun---
Information
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Briefing: When Cortez and Hart aren't knocking seven bells out of the
TimeSplitters they like to invite them over to the Ice Station for a friendly
game of capture the bag. The TimeSplitters are inclined to take it a bit too
seriously.
Game Mode: Capture the Bag Character: Corp. Hart
Level: Ice Station Target Rank/Score: 1st
Bronze: 3 better Silver: 5 better Gold: 7 better Platinum: 10 better
Rewards: Ringmistress (Character), Big Hands (Cheat), SlowMotion Deaths (Cheat)
Strategy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When the match starts, leap from the tower to the right side. Grab the Rocket
Launcher and speed power-up. Run to their bag, take it, and head back. If they
take your bag, simply blast the carrier on your way back. On the second run,
head left and grab the speed power-up and half-armor as you head to their bag.
Simply repeat the process until time expires.
NOTE: When improving your medal, you not only must increase your lead, but your
overall score as well.
NOTE: Avoid capturing the bag as time expires; it can lead to problems.
---They're Not Pets!---
Information
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Briefing: Mr. Giggles and Stumpy ordered a bunch of Baby Drone 'Splitters off
the Internet. When they arrived they bit the Bear's nose and ripped off Lola's
costume. The Ringmistress is not pleased- she wants rid of them! Watch out for
the Bear, though, he's pretty mad.
Game Mode: Team Deathmatch Character: Mister Giggles
Level: Circus Target Rank/Score: 1st
Bronze: NKL Silver: 30 Gold: 40 Platinum: 55
Rewards: Baby Drone (Character), Bear (Character)
Strategy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This can be a somewhat difficult challenge if you're not prepared. It's a
three-team match, which means it'll probably be easier to get 1st. You can use
just about any weapon (pick the one you like best), but I'd avoid the Plasma
Autorifle and Flamethrower, simply because they take so long to put the kill
in. Since you don't have a radar, you can basically wander around randomly,
looking for enemies. The easiest way to kill baby drones is to drop to a
crouch, then blast them with a 12-Guage. Knowing the map can be helpful, so you
can keep to well-traveled areas to maximize your kills.
---Nice Threads---
Information
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Briefing: United only by a passion for dressing up in silly costumes, R107 and
Leo Krupps join forces to storm the Scrapyard Control Room. It's a death
defying assault against the SentryBots- but watch out for those thread lasers,
Leo! Oops, too late.
Game Mode: Assault Character: R One-Oh-Seven
Level: Scrapyard
Bronze: 15:00.0 Silver: 10:00.0 Gold: 5:00.0 Platinum: 2:40.0
Rewards: Scrapyard (Assault Level)
Strategy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From the start, head right and grab the LaserGun. Put the shield up, and run
like a madman through the level. Whenever you pass by a drone gun or bot that
doesn't fire rockets, simply look at it with the shield, and keep running.
Disable it when you don't need it to conserve energy. (This is a quick
strategy. I'll have a more detailed one at a later time.)

---Aztec the Dino Hunter---
Information
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Briefing: Aztec Warrior just loves to hunt dinosaurs! The Aztec Priest has
tried to convince him otherwise by explaining all of the ethical and ecological
reasons which make it a morally questionable activity. Aztec Warrior ignores
him, he says the Priest's just a cerebral bore.
Game Mode: Team Deathmatch Character: Aztec Warrior
Level: Aztec Ruins
Bronze: 45 Silver: 60 Gold: 70 Platinum: 90
Rewards: Dinosaur (Character)
Strategy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Work your way to the room mentioned before in Aztec missions. (The one near the
room with the pond.) Keep moving and shoot Dinosaurs the second you see them.
You'll have to be quick and avoid dying to hit the platinum score.
---Half Death---
Information
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Briefing: The Scientists have been experimenting with reactor cores and
anomalous materials with the usual result- a trans dimensional rift and aliens
running amok. The marines have been sent in to shoot anything that moves. That
includes you, Dr. Peabody!
Game Mode: Team Deathmatch Character: Dr. Peabody
Level: Hangar Target Rank/Score: 20
Bronze: NTL Silver: 3:00.0 Gold: 2:30.0 Platinum: 2:00.0
Rewards: Drone Splitter (Character)
Strategy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Plasma Autorifle and Soviet S47 x2 are your best bets for armament. Stick
to the hangar area and use the grenades of either weapon to kill the bots
whenever you see them. Try not to fall far behind though.
---Dead Fraction---
Information
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Briefing: The Miners of the Ulcer Corp are dying of a strange Pox and the
company executives are running a cynical sweepstake on the mortality figures-
'Guess the Dead Fraction'. The Miners with the Pox are revolting, none more so
than Jebediah Crump!
Game Mode: Team Deathmatch Character: Jebediah Crump
Level: Chasm Target Rank/Score: 20
Bronze: NTL Silver: 4:30.0 Gold: 3:00.0 Platinum: 2:05.0
Rewards: Jebediah Crump (Character), Small Heads (Cheat)
Strategy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Get either a Rocket Launcher or SBP90 Machineguns. The flamethrower can also be
very effective. Find yourself a nice place to camp (there are several), and
make yourself comfortable. Whenever a bot runs in, kill him. You should be able
to get the platinum in a few tries.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section VIII: Frequently Asked Questions
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Can I do all those cool acrobatic moves like the bots do?
A: No. In the name of all that is good and pure, stop asking! It's not funny
anymore.
Q: The bot died and it won't respawn. What happened?
A: This is an unfixable glitch. Sometimes it just happens, usually in Virus and
Flame Tag modes.
Q: What are these Character Abilities?
A: If you set them to ON, you'll notice that characters have stats, measured by
little colored bars. They are Accuracy, Agility (Speed), and Stamina (Health).
Some characters, like the various robots, are immune to fire. Others, like the
Wood Golem take more damage from fire. If they're set to OFF, the only
differences between characters are their heights and models. See my Character
Abilities FAQ for a complete listing.
Q: Who's the best character?
A: There is no single best character. Some are fast, and others can take more
damage. Just pick the character whose stats reflect best how you play.
Q: There's a Platinum medal for 'Badass Buspass Impasse', and I haven't even
unlocked it yet. What happened?
A: By playing a created map, you immediately are given the Platinum medal for
that challenge. You can play the level after you unlock it to remedy the
problem.
Q: I got a Platinum medal on 'Playing With Fire', but the game still says I
have a Gold medal. What's up with that?
A: There is a lovely little glitch here. If you get the Gold medal, you are
unable to get the Platinum medal. If you do get the Gold medal, reset your game
before it saves. You must get all 24 bananas with at least a second left on the
clock.
Q: Is it possible to get all 66 Platinum medals?
A: Yes, it's very possible.
Q: Are all of the weapons available from the get-go? How do I unlock locked
ones? (If any)
A: All the weapons are initially available except for the brick. Earn a Silver
or Gold medal on the 'Bricking It' challenge to earn it.
Q: Silenced Luger?
A: It's available in a couple of weapon sets and Story missions, but it can't
be set to a MapMaker weapon set or custom weapon set.
Q: Help! How do I beat (insert Challenge or Arcade Challenge name here)? It's
impossible!
A: Nothings impossible. You may actually be trying too hard. There are FAQs
here, like Qbsean10's and mine. If that doesn't work, head to
www.mathgamehouse.com/ts2 and look there.
Q: How do I unlock (insert character name here)?
A: Again, check the FAQs. The latest version of mine has most of the
Challenge/Arcade Challenge Rewards. My Character Abilities FAQ has a complete
listing.
Q: How many Arcade Awards are there? What are they?
A: There are about 58, when I checked last. There's a thread at GameFAQs and a
list at Q's Laboratory that lists most, if not all of them. There's also
another site,
http://www.angelfire.com/ny5/t2arcadeawards/ that lists them all.
Q: The C-Stick is too sensitive. Can I fix it?
A: Nope. Try using the 'Switch When Aiming' setting. Set the left stick to aim
and you'll be fine.
Q: How do I unlock (insert anything here)?
A: By playing the Challenge, Arcade League, and Story modes.
Q: How do I use the silly hats?
A: Turn the cheat on and play a match in Arcade Custom. Characters will
randomly wear the hats you've unlocked. Not all characters can wear hats,
though.
Q: Can I play defense on Assault?
A: Nope.
Q: Oh God the sound! What is it?
A: The Minigun and LaserGun charging sounds occasionally stick. You're stuck
with them until the match is over.
Q: Random music isn't random. Huh?
A: Yep. It just plays Astrolander.
Q: I beat 'Bags of Fun' 7-2. Why didn't I get a Platinum medal?
A: You have to have 7 more bags than them. For example, if they got 3, you
would have to get 10. When you go back to improve scores, not only must you get
x bags better, you must also get more total bags than your last best score.
Q: Chilled, Normal, Frantic; What's the difference?
A: They are basically just how fast you move and how fast the game goes.
Q: Bot Stars?
A: Bot stars indicate how skilled a bot is. 1 Star is the equivalent of a
MeatSim (pathetic), while 5 Stars is between a HardSim and a PerfectSim. 5 Star
bots also have a large stamina increase. You can change the stars only when
Character Abilities are disabled.

Section IX: Closing
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First off, I would like to thank GameFAQs (www.gamefaqs.com) and The TS2 Map
Site (www.chriscomputers.com/ts2) for hosting this FAQ, the people at The
TimeSplitters 2 Network (www.timesplitters2.net) and the Plat Strats group
(www.mathgamehouse.com/ts2) for help on a few levels I had trouble on, the
people at NGC-Elites (ngc-elites.net and ts2strats.port5.com) for the drive to
get better, as well as several people on the message boards who gave me the
motivation to write this because I was tired of seeing the same questions every
day on the board.
Special thanks also go out to failurewarning and Stephen Chan, for providing me
with a few Platinum requirements I was a little off on. Failurewarning is also
the writer of the Pick Yer Piece Strategy I refer to in the guide.
If you would like to contact me with input about this guide, please email me at
