1.1 Version History VHIS
==================================
Version 2.02 March 20, 2005
I have removed all contact details. I no longer want to receive
tips, questions, and the like. Thanks to those who have put the
effort in e-mailing me, but now is the time for me to end all
this.
Version 2.01 June 29, 2004
Just after the big update has been uploaded, I spotted a couple
of big mistakes. My apologies.
Version 2.00 June 29, 2004
I haven't touched this in over a month, and after browsing
through version 1.06, I thought "this needs some serious
formatting" and now this is the result! The table of contents
looks prettier and so do some of the headings. I have also added
some extra tips from e-mails which I have received from as early
as January, and I have re-shuffled the order, most notably in
sections 1 and 4. I have also done some other formatting changes
which you may or may not have noticed, and I have re-written
some sections and strategies. Oh, and I have added some
reference codes too. As a result of all these changes, the
filesize has gone up by over 30kb!
Version 1.06 December 9, 2003
I have made quite a lot of small changes. More tips have been
added, thanks to some e-mails, and also some small formatting
changes. Questions and tips are still welcome!
Version 1.05 September 7, 2003
I have added a question in section 4.1. That's about it.
Version 1.04 August 24, 2003
Ah, I haven't updated this in a while! Thanks to Andy, there is
an extra tip to help you complete Dam Bursters! This can be
found in section 3.2.
Version 1.03 April 25, 2003
An even smaller update, just correcting something small in
section 4.2.
Version 1.02 April 23, 2003
Another small update here. I have updated sections 1.3 and 3.2.
Version 1.01 April 22, 2003
I have noticed a couple of mistakes in sections 1.3 and 4.2, so
I have now corrected them.
Version 1.00 April 21, 2003
This FAQ is now done! I have finally completed section 3.2.
Additionally, I have updated section 4.1 just randomly.
Version 0.95 April 18, 2003
I only have a couple more strategies left to write about and
that's it! I have almost completed section 3.2 and section 4 is
done.
Version 0.85 April 15, 2003
Nearly there now! I am about half way there composing the
Challenges strategies. I have also updated section 4.2.
Version 0.75 April 11, 2003
A quick update here, I have started doing the Challenges
section, completing section 3.1, the introduction. I have also
done a quick formatting change, updating the section bars.
Version 0.70 April 10, 2003
I have finally completed section 2 after finishing off writing
about the Elite League and I have done some extra work on
section 4.2.
Version 0.50 April 9, 2003
I have continued working on section 2, completing writing about
the Honorary League. I have updated section 1.3, the websites,
and I have also updated the table of contents. Section 4 has
been added to and so more work is needed to finalise section 4.
Version 0.25 April 8, 2003
Sections 1, About the FAQ, and 4, Finishing Off, have been
completed. I have started composing section 2, the Arcade
League, managing to finish sections 2.1 and 2.2.

1.3 Introduction INTN
===============================
[ This section has been re-written for v2.00 because it previously sounded
rather stupid and dull ]
This FAQ will primarily try to give you useful tips to conquer the Arcade
League and Challenges. All these strategies have worked for me, except the ones
stated, and they have all helped me with a gold, or even platinum, trophy in
every single arcade match and challenge.
To find a section quickly, just find the reference code given in the table of

===============================================================================
2.0 Arcade League ARCD
===============================================================================
===============================
2.1 Introduction AINT
===============================
[ Like the Introduction, this section has been re-written for v2.00 ]
Arcade matches are considered to be easier than Challenges. This may seem like
it in the Amateur or Honorary Leagues, but some challenges in the Elite League
will have you ripping your hair out and breaking some controllers...OK, that is
a tiny exaggeration, but it won't be an easy ride!
I have updated the headings of each strategy, and so new headings are starred
[*] beside them in the brief description below. So, here is are the headings,
along with a description of what they mean:
Title This is simply the title of the arcade match.
Type Is it deathmatch, capture the bag, zones? Well, this heading
will tell you.
Description* Here, a few details will be given on the match or what you
have to do.
Location* This is where I tell you where the arcade match will take
place. I hope it's not in the cramped nightclub!
Rewards* This new addition will tell you what you get if you have
earned a trophy in that particular arcade match.
Score for Gold The score needed for that elusive gold is listed here.
Platinum scores may also be added at times.
Difficulty This is an indication on how hard I think it is to get GOLD,
not platinum. Also remember that this is MY opinion, and
no-one else's.
Strategy How did I get that gold? Well, this is the part you need to
look up on then!
Remember, these strategies are NOT guaranteed to get you a gold straight away.
Good luck!
===============================
2.2 Amateur League AMTR
===============================
1) Beginner's Series
=====================
Title: Adios Amigos!
Type: Deathmatch
Description: None
Location: Mexican Mission
Rewards: Hector Baboso, Lean Molly
Score for Gold: 10 kills in 3 minutes (Platinum: 40 seconds)
Difficulty: 1/10
Strategy: No real strategy here. Wait outside by the fountain and just
kill anyone you see. Stick with the Lugers x2 unless you pick
something else up. Don't bother wasting your time to search
for better weapons as the Lugers will do fine.
Title: Casualty
Type: Deathmatch
Description: None
Location: Hospital
Rewards: Dr. Peabody, Crypt Zombie
Score for Gold: 15 kills in 3 minutes 30 seconds (Platinum: 1 minute)
Difficulty: 2/10
Strategy: Slightly harder, but nothing to worry about. The best weapons
to use are the Lasergun or the Plasma Autorifle. Get one of
them and you should do fine. The Electrotool works well too.
Title: Top Shot
Type: Elimination
Description: 6 Lives
Location: Hangar
Rewards: Hangar, Sgt. Shock, Elimination
Score for Gold: 1st in 3 minutes (Platinum: 1 minute 10)
Difficulty: 4/10
Strategy: Fairly simple. Always target Capt Snow. If you don't there
is a good chance that you will end up running out of time
trying to get rid of his three or four lives left. Of course,
that doesn't mean you should ignore the rest. If you meet
someone else along the way, be sure to kill him! Use the
minigun to help you eliminate your rivals if you wish.
2) Mode Madness
================
Title: Chasity Chased
Type: Regeneration
Description: One-on-one
Location: Compound
Rewards: Regeneration
Score for Gold: 10 kills in 3 minutes (Platinum: 1 minute 10)
Difficulty: 2/10
Strategy: Very simple. Just find a stronger weapon than your starting
one, then hunt her down using your radar! She tends to run
away until she finds a decent weapon.
Title: Shrinking from the Cold
Type: Shrink
Description: None
Location: Siberia Dam (Outside)
Rewards: Private Sand, Sgt. Slate, Shrink
Score for Gold: 10 kills in 3 minutes (Platinum: 50 seconds)
Difficulty: 2/10
Strategy: Very simple again. I would get a stronger gun like a
Tactical 12 Gauge, which is in one of the buildings, or a
Minigun, which is found on top of a building, to kill your
opponents. If you are having difficulty killing them when
they are small, why not crouch?
Title: Scrap Metal
Type: Vampire
Description: One-on-one
Location: Scrapyard
Rewards: Scrapyard, ChassisBot
Score for Gold: 10 kills in 3 minutes (Platinum: 1 minute 5)
Difficulty: 3/10
Strategy: Slightly harder, but it shouldn't pose any problems. Get a
decent weapon, preferably a Lasergun, use your radar to find
the ChassisBot, and kill him. Remember, if your life span
is empty, you die, so keep killing it quickly to stay alive!
3) It's A Blast!
=================
Title: Night Shift
Type: Leech
Description: None
Location: Robot Factory
Rewards: SentryBot, Leech
Score for Gold: 1st with 25 kills (Platinum: 50)
Difficulty: 4/10
Strategy: This is slightly harder than previous matches. Your opponents
can be a bit tricky to spot in the Robot Factory. Homing
Launchers are very useful in this. Keep moving, everyone has
rockets, and don't be scared to kill an opponent when you
are literally touching him - it's leech!
Title: Spoils of War
Type: Thief
Description: None
Location: Ice Station
Rewards: Meezor Mox, Thief
Score for Gold: 25 points in 4 minutes 30 seconds (Platinum: 2 minutes 40)
Difficulty: 4/10
Strategy: It is useful to get the Homing Launcher. On this fairly open
level, aim at your opponents' lower body instead of the head.
Try not to run in a straight line and remember to get the
coin that the dead body leaves behind. If you are lucky, you
may spot some easy coins lying around. Be sure to pick them
up!
Title: Demolition Derby
Type: Deathmatch
Description: None
Location: Scrapyard
Rewards: Male Trooper, Female Tropper, Vampire
Score for Gold: 1st with 25 kills
Difficulty: 3/10
Strategy: To kill ChassisBots, one rocket is enough. To kill
SentryBots, make sure you fire three at a time using the
alternate fire. Since you are R109, it will take more than a
rocket to kill you. There's a Homing Launcher in the middle
and there's a damage power-up lying around. If you get a
chance, get them, but otherwise, Rocket Launchers are fine.
4) Too Hot to Handle
=====================
Title: Monkey Immolation
Type: Virus
Description: None
Location: Mexican Mission
Rewards: Crispin, Flame Tag
Score for Gold: Survive for 2 minutes (Platinum: 3 minutes)
Difficulty: 3/10
Strategy: Quite simple. Get outside in the courtyard and go to the top
of the building with the ladder. Watch out for the monkeys
and jump off the building if a monkey comes up. Go around the
fountain in the courtyard then go up the ladder again. Repeat
until you get caught. There is a glitch which may occur if
you are lucky. Sometimes the infected monkey can get trapped
under the ladder. If you get this, you're on for an easy
platinum.
There's also another tip, as Ryan Wardell tell you:
+-----------------------------------------------------------+
| "Another way is to go to the colunm where the cloak |
| power-up usually is and stand there. If you're lucky, the |
| virus will be trapped under the column, running around in |
| circles." |
+-----------------------------------------------------------+
Cheers Ryan! This method has been tested and works at times.
Title: Disco Inferno
Type: Virus
Description: None
Location: Nightclub
Rewards: Louis Bignose, Lt. Wild
Score for Gold: Survive for 2 minutes (Platinum: 3 minutes)
Difficulty: 5/10
Strategy: This is a lot tougher. Go outside and run up the metal
stairs. Find the Tommy Gun on the top level, not the side
with the max damage power-up, and position yourself facing
the ramp. When anyone is trying to make their way up, kill
them. Should you have difficulty, run backwards and you will
manage to go across the gap between the two sides, picking up
the max damage power-up at the same time. Now use this to
kill them with ease and make your way back to the side with
the Tommy Gun. Repeat until you get infected.
Title: Burns Department
Type: Virus
Description: None
Location: Hospital
Rewards: Nightclub, Undead Priest, Virus
Score for Gold: Survive for 2 minutes (Platinum: 3 minutes)
Difficulty: 6/10
Strategy: Go up to the balcony with the Shotgun. This is a useful spot
as there are two exits with only one entrance. When an
infected opponent comes in, try to kill them. If you can't,
drop down from the balcony, running backwards, then go to
your right, then left, up the stairs, then go back to the
balcony to wait for them. You may want to practise this route
before trying this strategy.
There is an alternate strategy. Go into the bathroom and wait
for an infected bot to come in. Now circle around the room to
avoid getting caught. This only works if only one opponent is
infected and if no-one else comes in and gets caught.
5) Team Series A
=================
Title: Club Soda
Type: Team Deathmatch
Description: None
Location: Nightclub
Rewards: Slick Tommy, Jimmy Needles
Score for Gold: 20 kills in 3 minutes (Platinum: 1 minute 30)
Difficulty: 2/10
Strategy: Very easy, get the Tommy Gun and kill everyone you see. Your
teammate will help you to rack up your score. Try not to
stick with your starting weapon.
Title: Station Stand
Type: Zones
Description: None
Location: Ice Station
Rewards: Lt. Shade, Zones
Score for Gold: 1000 points in 4 minutes 30 seconds (Platinum: 3 minutes 15)
Difficulty: 3/10
Strategy: Get a decent weapon and go round securing every zone you see.
One is on the metal platform, two are in the two small
buildings in the corner and the fourth one is underground.
Use the speed power-ups to help you patrol faster and kill
anyone in your way.
Title: Men in Grey
Type: Assault
Description: Reach the waterfall, destroy all six fuel drums, then destroy
the computers inside your opponents' base!
Location: Training Ground
Rewards: Accountant, Lawyer, Assault
Score for Gold: Completed in 3 minutes 30 seconds (Platinum: 1 minute)
Difficulty: 5/10
Strategy: This is probably the hardest match to get gold in the Amateur
League. Get a Soviet then approach the exit. Before you do,
there is a ramp. Go up it and get the Homing Launcher. At the
top is a Minigun and body armour. Fall off, then stay on the
right until you see an autogun. Use the Homing Launcher to
get rid of that. Proceed to the waterfall, and switch to the
minigun. Blow up the two barrels that are in the open. Get
your Soviet out and destroy the one behind one of the
buildings. Go to the far left to grenade another one. Go
inside your opponents' base and up the ramp to find another
one. Drop down from the left to find the last one. If you are
still alive, that's good. If you die at any point before all
the barrels are destroyed, respawn and use the Homing
Launcher. You should have some rockets left for the homing
launcher. Go inside your opponents' base to find some
computers. Use your rockets to destroy them!
==================================
2.3 Honorary League HNRY
==================================
1) Maximus
===========
Title: Cold Corpse Caper
Type: Gladiator
Description: None
Location: Hospital
Rewards: Cyberfairy, Gargoyle
Score for Gold: 1st with 15 kills (Platinum: 40 kills)
Difficulty: 3/10
Strategy: Very simple, get Tommy Guns x2 or Shotguns x2, hunt the
gladiator down (with the radar, or follow someone who is
searching for him), kill him, and kill everyone you see. You
can run to the toilets if you want to camp.
Title: Killer Queen
Type: Gladiator
Description: None
Location: Aztec Ruins
Rewards: Leo Krupps
Score for Gold: 15 kills in 3 minutes (Platinum: 1 minute 50)
Difficulty: 3/10
Strategy: Get the double Tommy Guns on the log over the grassy pit, or
by other means, and kill the gladiator. After that, try to
find a comfortable place to rack up your kills. This is
really simple. The only problem is the Stone Golem with a
high stamina, but if you have the Tommy Guns, you should be
able to kill it. 15 kills isn't a lot.
Title: R109 Beta
Type: Gladiator
Description: None
Location: Ice Station
Rewards: Ufopia, Lt. Chill, Roman Hat, Gladiator
Score for Gold: 1st with 40 kills (Platinum: Beat your gold score)
Difficulty: 8/10
Strategy: In my opinion, this is one of the hardest matches you will
face in the Arcade League. It took me a while, but the
strategy that worked best for me is to hunt down the
gladiator and go inside the big building in the middle. Keep
moving while shooting rockets at every robot that you see.
Alternatively, if that didn't work, retreat to the
underground tunnel and use your radar at the three-way
intersection to get to your target.
2) Elimination Series
======================
Title: Baking for the Taking
Type: Elimination
Description: 7 Lives
Location: Chinese
Rewards: Chinese Chef, Gingerbread Man
Score for Gold: 1st in 3 minutes (Platinum: 2 minutes 20)
Difficulty: 2/10
Strategy: This should be a piece of cake. Get the Minigun and killing
all the Gingerbread Men shouldn't be much of a problem. Don't
worry if you keep dying, as long as you are gunning them down
fast enough.
Title: Brace Yourself
Type: Elimination
Description: 7 Lives
Location: Nightclub
Rewards: Braces, Trooper Brown
Score for Gold: 1st in 1 minute 45 seconds (Platinum: 1 minute 20)
Difficulty: 4/10
Strategy: This one can be tricky depending on your luck. Get the Luger
Pistol x2 and then search for someone to kill. As long as you
don't keep getting killed, you should get gold quite quickly.
Title: Starship Whoopers
Type: Monkey Assistant
Description: None
Location: Scrapyard
Rewards: Trooper Black, Monkey Assistant
Score for Gold: 1st with 25 kills (Platinum: 30 kills)
Difficulty: 4/10
Strategy: Try to stay outside for the whole match. Your only problem
is the monkeys. Only kill them if you need to as they do not
count towards your kills. Make sure you use your radar to
help you track down the bots and if you can, get the Homing
Launcher.
3) Burns 'n' Bangs
===================
Title: Chinese Burns
Type: Team Deathmatch
Description: None
Location: Chinese
Rewards: Calamari, Chef Hat
Score for Gold: 20 kills in 2 minutes (Platinum: 1 minute 45)
Difficulty: 2/10
Strategy: This isn't that hard at all! Just get the Flamethrower and
burn anyone you see! If you have trouble burning them, punch
them and if you are set on fire, run around manically trying
to set as many Calamaris on fire as possible before you die.
Title: Snow Business
Type: Team Deathmatch
Description: None
Location: Ice Station
Rewards: Snowman, Trooper Grey
Score for Gold: 20 kills in 2 minutes 30 seconds (Platinum: 1 minute 50)
Difficulty: 4/10
Strategy: Run after all the Snowmen and flame them as fast as possible.
If you catch on fire, you die fast! Still, it is possible
to set another Snowman on fire. One thing which you should
use to your advantage is that you have a slightly longer
range. With a bit of practice, this shouldn't pose you too
many problems.
Title: Rocket Man
Type: Team Deathmatch
Description: None
Location: Streets
Rewards: Venus Starr, Capt. Sand
Score for Gold: 40 kills in 1 minute 30 seconds (Platinum: 1 minute 5)
Difficulty: 6/10
Strategy: This can be quite tough, considering you have to rack up
those kills fast. Go inside any building with only one floor.
Now kill everyone that even tries to enter! This match is
more based on luck, so keep trying until you conquer it.
4) Outnumbered but Never Outpunned
==================================
Title: Someone has Got to Pay
Type: Team Deathmatch
Description: None
Location: Hospital
Rewards: Duckman Drake, Capt. Night
Score for Gold: 60 kills (Platinum: 80 kills)
Difficulty: 8/10
Strategy: Whatever you do in this tough match, never run around the
level trying to find some ducks. So how are you suppose to
get gold? Well, there are a couple of good rooms to camp.
The toilets and the shower room is a great place to hide and
the balcony has double Shotguns and is another great area.
My advice is to run to the nearest of these two areas every
time you die and respawn. Oh, and always always aim for head
shots. The ducks die so much more easily. And make sure you
always have double Shotguns.
Title: Time to Split
Type: Team Deathmatch
Description: None
Location: Compound
Rewards: Barby Gimp, Scourge Splitter
Score for Gold: 15 kills in 2 minutes 30 seconds (Platinum: 1 minute 20)
Difficulty: 6/10
Strategy: This one may be easier because there are less opponents, but
your character is weak compared to the Scourge Splitters!
Despite this, you should get through this fairly easily.
How? Go to or spawn in the tunnel-like area and pick up the
SBP90 Machinegun and the body armour. Now kill the Splitters
as fast as you can, staying in this area. Don't let them get
any extra health (you can tell when they want some by them
running away) and if you need any health yourself, get the
body armour, when it spawns.
This isn't the only way, as Dave suggests another way:
+-----------------------------------------------------------+
| "Go to the room upstairs inside the building. There is a |
| SBP90 Machinegun x2 and some health. Camp here and kill |
| the Splitters." |
+-----------------------------------------------------------+
I've tried this method and it works great, so try it out!
Thanks for the tip Dave!
Title: Can't Handle This
Type: Team Deathmatch
Description: None
Location: Nightclub
Rewards: Chasm, Hatchel Sal, Handyman
Score for Gold: 40 kills in 3 minutes (Platinum: 2 minutes 40)
Difficulty: 8/10
Strategy: This match has been known to be one which a lot of people get
stuck, but once you have completed it once, it's surprisingly
easy! Head over to the dead end that has the Tommy Gun x2,
where you enter in the Chicago mission in Story mode. Now
turn around and go to the right glassed dead end. In there
should be a health pack. Crouch in front of it and aim up,
then kill all the Handymen that are coming! Don't leave this
area. If you want ammo, move forward to pick up the ammo left
by the dead bodies. If you want health, just move back and
forward again to run over the health. As long as you don't
use the Luger Pistol, you should be fine. Practice makes
perfect, as they say.
5) Team Series B
=================
Title: Hack a Hacker
Type: Team Deathmatch
Description: None
Location: Compound
Rewards: Krayola, Milkbaby
Score for Gold: 20 kills in 1 minute 20 seconds (Platinum: 1 minute)
Difficulty: 6/10
Strategy: Find the SBP90 Machineguns or the Lasergun, then use your
radar to find everyone. Try to go for enemies which your
teammates aren't going for to rack up the kills more quickly.
This match requires a lot of luck and help from your
teammates, but it is possible, and within a few attempts, you
should have cracked it.
Title: Rice Cracker Rush
Type: Capture The Bag
Description: First to 5
Location: Streets
Rewards: Riot Officer, The Master
Score for Gold: Score 5 in 4 minutes (Platinum: 3 minutes)
Difficulty: 5/10
Strategy: When you start, pick up the invisibility power-up after a
corner or so. Then run and grab your opponents' bag and run
back as fast as possible. There is one thing worth pointing
out, at their base is a Minigun. You would be well-advised to
pick it up to make killing bots a lot easier on your way
back. Score with your opponents' bag and start heading out to
their bag again. By this time, your power-up will have worn
out, so after a couple of corners from your bag, be aware of
the building with a flashing yellow sign. See it? Well, then
go in to collect the speed power-up! Now just run to your
opponents' bag then run back to your bag and score. By now,
the invisibility power-up should have respawned. Get it and
repeat the process until the gold is yours!
Title: Superfly Lady
Type: Assault
Description: Destroy all the perimeter guns, open the hangar door, then
destroy all three fuel drums
Location: Hangar
Rewards: Capt. Pain, Hangar (Assault)
Score for Gold: Finish by 2 minutes (Platinum: 1 minute 30)
Difficulty: 6/10
Strategy: This is one of my favourite Arcade matches and I still
sometimes come back to it to try to improve my time. Start by
exiting the current room and turn left. In front of the box
on the left is a Soviet. Get it and run behind the box and
grenade the autogun that you see shooting at you. Turn around
and look at the mounted gun at the top through the slit. Look
down (parallel to the gap) and bounce the grenade up to
destroy that gun. Do the same to the other mounted gun. Then
turn around and shoot two grenades at the autoguns beside the
next door. At this point, you are free to die.
Continue with the Soviet. Now here comes the hardest autogun
you have to destroy. If you want to do it safely, go round
the back of the mounted gun (on the box) and shoot at it
until it has been destroyed. Alternatively (but risky),
you can bounce a grenade at it and hopes it destroys the
autogun. Enter the next room and immediately turn right
behind the box to get the body armour. Continue running and
aim a grenade at the autogun on the far right. Now stand
against the wall, parallel with the two mounted guns on the
ceiling. Look down and bounce one parallel to it to destroy
the mounted gun further away from you. Do the same on the
other side. Now there's one more left. Look in the opposite
direction of the stairs to see another one. Aim a grenade
there and you should get a new objective. If not, you are
missing an autogun, and I suggest you restart.
Now go upstairs, ignoring everything that is shooting at you,
until you come to a switch. Activate it, then die. Respawn
and get the Soviet (beside the stairs) and enter the final
room with the planes. Grenade two of the barrels between the
tyres of the first plane you see. Turn right to see another
plane, and between the tyres of that one is another barrel.
Grenade that one to finish it and get a respectable time.
If you are aiming to get platinum, aim to destroy all the
perimeter guns by 45 seconds, or 50 by the most.

2.4 Elite League ELTE
===============================
1) One Shot Thrills
====================
Title: Babes in the Woods
Type: Shrink
Description: One Shot Kills
Location: Aztec Ruins
Rewards: Jo-Beth Casey
Score for Gold: 1st with 20 kills (Platinum: 25 kills)
Difficulty: 6/10
Strategy: Before you start, remember that body armour is useless! All
the matches in One Shot Thrills are one hit kill matches!
Stay around the pond area, and make sure you keep watching
and moving. Just one shot will kill them only. Try not to die
a lot and you should do fine.
Title: Double Bill
Type: Thief
Description: One Shot Kills
Location: Chasm
Rewards: Beetleman, The Impersonator
Score for Gold: 20 in 3 minutes 30 (Platinum: 2 minutes 30)
Difficulty: 7/10
Strategy: This is a bit harder. Try getting the speed and shrink
power-ups if you can. The shrink is quite important as Big
Tony, the character you are using, is huge and the Beetlemen
are tiny. Never stop moving and it would help if you plan a
route around the level which allows you to pick up both
power-ups.
Title: Nikki Jinki Bricky
Type: Team Deathmatch
Description: One Shot Kills
Location: Chinese
Rewards: Nikki, Jinki
Score for Gold: 20 kills in 2 minutes (Platinum: 1 minute 30)
Difficulty: 5/10
Strategy: This is easier compared to the other two in the category.
Spawn or make your way to the basement. Grab some bricks and
keep your eye on the stairs. Use the secondary fire to kill
your opponents and be careful of bots spawning near you and
taking you by surprise. One advantage you have is that your
teammate is very helpful and will contribute to your kills.
2) Duel Meaning
================
Title: If I'm Ugly - You Smell!
Type: Elimination
Description: 5 Lives, One-on-one
Location: Mexican Mission
Rewards: Mikey Two-guns, Jared Slim
Score for Gold: 1st with 4 lives (Platinum: 5 lives)
Difficulty: 5/10
Strategy: All matches in this series are one-on-one, so you have to be
alert. Get the Garrett Revolver x2 as quick as possible. Its
spawn point is somewhere underground in the building. Now
make your way outside, wait for your enemy, and kill him five
times!
Title: Golem Guru
Type: Elimination
Description: 5 Lives, One-on-one
Location: Site
Rewards: Kypriss, Fat Characters Cheat
Score for Gold: 1st with 4 lives (Platinum: 5 lives)
Difficulty: 6/10
Strategy: You are facing a Stone Golem. Grenade Launchers, Shotguns and
most other things are useless against him. The solution?
Rockets. Your first target has to be getting the Homing
Launcher. To find it, go up the ramp of the building in the
corner (there is also health there if needed) and you will
see the Homing Launcher lying on a beam. Take it and fall
down. It takes two secondary fires (or six rockets) to kill
the Golem. Once you do kill him, your ammo is bound to be
low, so get the Rocket Launcher under one of the ramps.
Again, use the secondary fire to kill him, then go back to
find the Homing Launcher.
Title: Golden Thighs
Type: Deathmatch
Description: None
Location: Siberia Dam (Outside)
Rewards: High Priest, Aztec Warrior
Score for Gold: 5 kills in 2 minutes (Platinum: 1 minute 30)
Difficulty: 7/10
Strategy: Jungle Queen is very strong, and so the best method is
grenading her. Get the Soviet x2, which is on top of one of
the buildings. Jump off, and be aware of the Jungle Queen.
Once you see her, fire grenades at her until she dies.
Replenish your health if needed and get more ammo. Now repeat
until you have killed her five times. If you want to camp, go
to the entrance to the dam and face the stairs and grenade
her when she comes.
3) Frantic Series
=================
Title: Hangars Hats Off
Type: Team Deathmatch
Description: Frantic Mode
Location: Hangar
Rewards: Henchman, Dark Henchman
Score for Gold: 30 kills in 1 minute 30 seconds (Platinum: 1 minute 15)
Difficulty: 8/10
Strategy: This is very similar to Hack a Hacker but the time
requirements are much harsher! You have to heavily rely on
your teammates for kills. The most important weapon is the
Soviet. Henchmen sometimes come in groups. If that's the
case, grenade them and earn a few quick kills. Another very
useful weapon is the Rocket Launcher (upstairs). Don't get it
unless you spawn near it as you will waste time. Another
reason why this is harder than Hack a Hacker is that the
Hangar level is way bigger. Keep trying and you will
eventually succeed.
Title: Can't Please Everyone
Type: Zones
Description: Frantic Mode
Location: Hospital
Rewards: Maiden, Changeling
Score for Gold: 800 points in 3 minutes (Platinum: 2 minutes 30)
Difficulty: 5/10
Strategy: This is surprisingly easy once you know what to do. Firstly,
you will have noticed that one disadvantage against you is
that the Undead Priests' stamina is a lot higher than yours.
But, believe it or not, you can turn it into an advantage.
How? Well, find a Grenade Launcher (there is one lying under
one set of stairs) and use the secondary fire to set them on
fire! They take a long time to die, due to their high
stamina, and will not secure any zones as they make their way
to the shower room! Meanwhile you can secure all the zones!
Alternatively, you can follow the Undead Priests and
continuously set them on fire while your teammates secure all
the zones. Because your agility is fast, if you are on fire,
try to set the Undead Priests on fire and let your teammates
rack up the points. Simple, huh?
Title: Big Top Blowout
Type: Deathmatch
Description: Frantic Mode
Location: Circus
Rewards: Mr. Giggles, Stumpy
Score for Gold: 1st with 35 kills (Platinum: 45 kills)
Difficulty: 7/10
Strategy: This is a tough one. Your best bet is to find a Homing
Launcher and blast everyone while strafing and moving to
avoid getting killed. Use your high speed to your advantage
and dodge some of the rockets. Don't be tempted to chase
individual bots and go for groups instead. This will be a
long match, so sit tight.
4) Team Series C
=================
Title: Bags of Fun
Type: Capture The Bag
Description: 7 Minute Match
Location: Ice Station
Rewards: Ringmistress, Big Hands Cheat, Slow Motion Deaths Cheat
Score for Gold: 7 bags better (Platinum: 10 bags better)
Difficulty: 9/10
Strategy: This is one the hardest in the whole game, so keep patient.
Seven minutes is a long time and if you mess up during that
time, you will have to start again. There are two strategies
I can give you. First, I will tell you the one I use. Go to
the right side approaching the TimeSplitters' base, getting a
Rocket Launcher and the speed power-up along the way. On your
way back, go to your right again and grab the half-armour. Go
upstairs and score. On your second run, go to the left side.
There will be another speed power-up. Repeat the process,
making sure that the Splitters don't grab your bag. This
strategy has worked for me, but only after a lot of attempts.
It is even possible to get platinum with this method, as I
have, but you need a bit of luck.
The second strategy is going to the little building in the
far left. In that building there is a Homing Launcher and
full body armour. Go there every time when your Homing
Launcher ammo runs out. This doesn't seem to work for me, but
who knows, you might have better luck with it.
There are a couple of things that I will note. Don't score
with your opponents' bag after the time runs out. Apparently,
this can lead to all sorts of problems. Also, when you are
trying to improve your trophy, you must also improve the
number of bags you score as well as your lead.
Title: They're Not Pets!
Type: Team Deathmatch
Description: None
Location: Circus
Rewards: Baby Drone, Bear
Score for Gold: 1st with 40 kills (Platinum: 55 kills)
Difficulty: 6/10
Strategy: Another team deathmatch. As long as you are prepared, you
shouldn't have any problems at all. I usually try to either
stay in the main circus area where there is a SBP90
Machinegun x2, or if I spawn outside, get a decent weapon and
run around outside in circles, killing everything I see.
Avoid using the Flamethrower and the Plasma Autorifle's
primary fire, as it takes too long to kill someone.
Title: Nice Threads
Type: Assault
Description: Breach the airlock, then secure the cooling towers, before
seizing the control room
Location: Scrapyard
Rewards: Scrapyard (Assault)
Score for Gold: Finish by 5 minutes (Platinum: 2 minutes 40)
Difficulty: 7/10 or 9/10 depending on luck
Strategy: I couldn't decide, 7, 8 or 9 out of 10, and you will see why
as you have to depend on your luck. But either way, I must
admit this is harder than Superfly Lady. There is one weapon
that will make life a hell of a lot easier to complete: The
Lasergun. Get the Lasergun and turn the shield on (using
secondary fire), charging through towards the left side. Aim
your shield towards the top left laser threads, then when you
get nearer to the door, the ceiling of the hallway as there
are two laser threads there. Just before you enter the
hallway, there is a full body armour on the left. Be sure to
get it! After going past the hallway, immediately turn left
to the next door (under the ramp). Continue going down and
your first objective, to breach the airlock, is complete.
Keep running down and you will come to another laser thread.
Remember to turn and face the laser thread in the small
opening on your top right when you get to it. After this one,
there are a quite a few threads as you go down the ramps.
Point your shield to the top right, running on the inside of
the path. You will then come across a rocket turret. Step
into its view, then step back. A rocket will be blasted and
should miss you. Enter the next room (the cooling towers) and
progress from here and you should have completed your second
objective. If you die once before you reach this second
checkpoint, restart. The main reason being that bots will be
in your way trying to kill you and you can't defend off the
laser threads and the bots at the same time.
Continue through, getting the half armour. You will then
enter a room with two rocket turrets, one infront and one
behind. Run in a zig-zag, left to right, to dodge the
rockets. Continue through until you get to a grated walkway.
Turn right in the 'T' intersection. There is another turret
(plasma) which will start firing. You can dodge left and
right or just keep running forward (you won't lose much
health). The next room has more plasma turrets. If you are
fast enough, you can avoid them by running to the next room,
opposite the entrance. Eventually you will come to a blue
hallway. Go up the stairs on the right, go up and immediately
take a left. Turn your Lasergun shield on because there is
one more laser thread. Turn the next right and aim at the
last laser thread towards the top to avoid dying at this late
stage. Run to the dead end to finish this assault!
Remember, the Lasergun shield cannot protect you against
rockets. It is possible to complete this without a Lasergun,
in fact, I know someone who has a platinum on it without
using one, but getting gold, or even platinum, is a lot
easier with a Lasergun.
5) Sincerest Form of Flattery
==============================
</pre><pre id="faqspan-2">
Title: Aztec the Dino Hunter
Type: Team Deathmatch
Description: None
Location: Aztec Ruins
Rewards: Dinosaur
Score for Gold: 70 kills (Platinum: 90 kills)
Difficulty: 5/10
Strategy: This is slightly different to most matches you have played in
because of the fact that your score does show up until the
end. This can be very frustrating when you are one or two off
gold. The Dinosaurs only take one crossbolt to kill, so find
an area that you feel comfortable to stay in (maybe the pond
area) and kill all the dinosaurs to see. Try to reload when
you see nothing rather than reloading when you have to as the
reload time of the crossbow takes a while.
Title: Half Death
Type: Team Deathmatch
Description: None
Location: Hangar
Rewards: Drone Splitter
Score for Gold: 20 kills in 2 minutes 30 seconds (Platinum: 2 minutes)
Difficulty: 6/10
Strategy: The only tip I can give you is to use the Plasma Autorifle or
the Soviets. Why? Because grenades will help you a lot. If
you use your grenades wisely, you should be able to get a
gold pretty quickly.
Title: Dead Fraction
Type: Team Deathmatch
Description: None
Location: Chasm
Rewards: Jebediah Crump, Small Heads Cheat
Score for Gold: 20 kills in 3 minutes (Platinum: 2 minutes)
Difficulty: 5/10
Strategy: As long as you find somewhere good to camp with a good
weapon, you shouldn't have too many problems with this. One
good camping spot only has one place where enemies can shoot
through and enter, and on top of all that, a SBP90
Machinegun x2 and a health pack is provided nearby!
===============================================================================
3.0 Challenges CHLG
===============================================================================
===============================
3.1 Introduction CINT
===============================
Challenges are slightly different to arcades...why? Challenges are not arcade
scenarios. They are not something you can play in an arcade match for fun with
your mates. Challenges set in TimeSplitters 2 involve smashing glass, beheading
zombies, doing single mini-missions, shooting cardboard cut-outs, collecting
bananas and killing innocent-looking monkeys.
The format given will be the same as I have shown in my arcade strategies, so
you should be very familiar with it. One thing that will not be included though
is the "type" as it does not apply to Challenges. They are harder that Arcade
matches in general, but they shouldn't pose much of a problem if you have
completed all the arcade matches...should they?
=============================
3.2 Strategies CSTR
=============================
1) Glass Smash
===============
Title: Pane in the Neck
Description: Using Soviet grenades, destroy every glass pane
Location: Siberia Dam (Outside)
Rewards: Rotating Heads Cheat
Score for Gold: 18 seconds (Platinum: 11 seconds)
Difficulty: 6/10
Strategy: There are many ways of doing this, but in my opinion, this is
the most effective. Run up the stairs and aim two grenades at
the huge building in one of the windows on the second floor.
If you have done this right, the first grenade should break
the window, the second should go to break the door window at
the back. That building is now done. Run round the back of
the building along side the low wall (beside the entrance of
the dam) and fire a grenade in one of the windows there.
Continue forward until you can see the windows of the next
window clearly. Fire a grenade there - be careful not to hit
the lamp post. Now go in between the two buildings you have
just fired grenades at and this should take you past the huge
building again. Fire a grenade through the door window of the
final building (make sure it doesn't go through a window) and
you have done!
Title: Bricking It
Description: Same as the previous challenge apart from you have bricks!
Location: Siberia Dam (Outside)
Rewards: Brick (Weapon)
Score for Gold: 35 seconds (Platinum: 27.9 seconds)
Difficulty: 5/10
Strategy: A tip before starting...use the secondary fire - it fires
further! Run up the stairs again until you are facing the six
windows of the huge building. Break every single one using
the secondary fire. Run to the right of the building and
break the three windows there. Run up the stairs and strafe
to break the door window with ease. At this stage, you should
be at 15 seconds if you are going for a gold. Go on the
wooden platform and fall off from it to the right. Now
destroy the glass panes of that window and go to the left of
the building for the door window. Now proceed to the building
near the stairs. Destroy all those panes, then proceed to the
last one and do the same.
Title: Stain Removal
Description: Break all 32 panes using your grenade launcher
Location: Balcony in the cathedral, Notre Dame
Rewards: The Hunchback
Score for Gold: 32 panes (Platinum: 32 panes in 47.9 seconds)
Difficulty: 6/10
Strategy: This is slightly harder. When you start immediately run
backwards until you can see some huge panes above you. Use
the secondary fire to destroy all the panes on that side. Try
to shoot whilst strafing. When you run to the other side,
make sure you break the three in the middle, where you
started. Finish off the other side to complete it. This can
be frustrating, but don't give up!
2) Behead the Undead
=====================
Title: Fight Off the Living Dead
Description: Survive as long as you can against zombies with a shotgun
Location: Compound
Rewards: Sewer Zombie
Score for Gold: 20,000 points (Platinum: 145,000 points)
Difficulty: 4/10
Strategy: Try to aim at the zombies' heads and shoot them before they
enter the room you're in, if you can. If too many zombies
comes in, circle them and shoot them off one by one. The
zombies can also kill each other. Also try to survive as many
waves as you can, to collect bonuses. If you follow the tips,
you shouldn't have much trouble obtaining a gold.
Title: Sergio's Last Stand
Description: Exactly the same, but this time the zombies are on fire!
Location: Circus
Rewards: Sergio
Score for Gold: 25,000 points (Platinum: 35,000 points)
Difficulty: 8/10
Strategy: A lot harder, get the fire extinguisher(s) on the other side
of the poles - just in case you get caught on fire. Use your
crosshair if you can to get headshots. Use the quick-switch
method to reload your Tactical-12 Gauge instantly (switch
weapons then back). With a lot of practice, you will
eventually get that elusive gold.
Title: Day of the Dammed
Description: How long can you survive against zombies using only fists?
Location: Inner Siberian Dam
Rewards: Feeder Zombie
Score for Gold: 20,000 points (Platinum: 25,000 points)
Difficulty: 7/10
Strategy: This is slightly easier than the previous one, but when you
get to wave four or five, you better watch out. Keep looking
around for any zombies that happen to surprise you from
behind, and remember to circle them and run around them if
things get a bit too crowded.
3) Infiltration
================
Title: Silent but Deadly
Descripion: Infiltrate the first part of the Siberia mission!
Location: Siberia Dam (Outside)
Rewards: Viking Hat
Score for Gold: 1,000 (Platinum: 1,000 in 39.9 seconds)
Difficulty: 7/10
Strategy: This one took me a while to get pass. Remember - if someone
spots you in this level, nearly everyone else does! Try to
get headshots with all the guards you encounter with. Start
off by getting the Sniper Rifle and shoot the guard on top of
the stairs in the head. Then shoot the camera's lens nearby.
Continue a bit forward and wait until the guard patrolling
between the two visible buildings walks out of sight. Run
through the gates and stay to the right side of the right
building. Now when possible, shoot him in the head. Walk
forward to the next building (straight ahead) and shoot the
guy in the head through the door window. Go round that
building so you're behind the female guard (Lt. Frost) and
again shoot her in the head. Go round the next building and
you will see a guard (Capt. Snow) patrolling near the metal
stairs. When his back is turned away from you, kill him. Get
out your Temporal Uplink and get inside the huge building to
turn off the cameras. Go upstairs to open the dam, then walk
along the wooden planks into the locked building to get the
Timed Mines. Chuck a mine on the satellite dish, then run
inside the dam!
The route given above is a safe, but slow one only aimed to
get gold. If you want a platinum, you must take a different,
riskier route.
Title: Trouble at the Docks
Description: Infiltrate the first part of the Chicago mission
Location: Docks in Chicago
Rewards: Pirate Hat
Score for Gold: 1,000 (Platinum: 1,000 in 24.9 seconds)
Difficulty: 5/10
Strategy: Run to the ladder, fall off. Approach the guy moving on your
left, then shoot him in the head or punch him there. When the
guy walking along the walkway goes past the next bit, run
straight ahead until you reach some stairs. Run up them and
shoot the next guy when you get to the top (through the
windows or from the side). Go down the stairs, killing
another guy along the way, turn right then run out to
complete this challenge!
Title: Escape From NeoTokyo
Description: Escape from NeoTokyo without getting seen by the cameras
Location: Streets of NeoTokyo
Rewards: Big Ears Hat
Score for Gold: 1,000 (Platinum: 1,000 in 19.9 seconds)
Difficulty: 5/10
Strategy: Simple, just one piece of advice: TAKE YOUR TIME. The first
camera can be avoided by walking straight ahead. Then go to
the second gap, which should be safe from the second camera.
Wait for the second camera to turn away then run and wait
just before the corner. Wait until the police car goes past,
then avoid the final few cameras and run to the end!
4) Banana Chomp
================
Title: Banana Chomp
Description: Collect all the bananas as fast as possible!
Location: Aztec (Outside)
Rewards: Private Coal
Score for Gold: 55 seconds (Platinum: 45 seconds)
Difficulty: 3/10 or 7/10 depending on if you know the route
Strategy: Start by walking through the tunnel, collecting the three
bananas. Go to the left side of the pillar to collect a
couple, then go round the far end and come back to get a few
more. Then go round the next pillar for the last two in this
area. Continue through the next area getting one on the ramp,
then go up the stairs facing opposite the ramp to get two
more. Then proceed, turning left at the intersection to get
the banana in the corner.
Turn 180 degrees and follow the path until you come to a dead
end with a banana. Step back a bit and then turn left and
continue running whilst collecting a few more bananas. When
you have got those bananas, you should be facing the huge
hole on the right (or close to it). Run through that and go
round to corner you see grabbing another banana. Turn the
next right (not the stairs straight on). Grab the banana in
front of you, strafe right to get one there, continue then
strafe right again to get another banana.
Run to the back of the room to find two more, then get the
one on the mound. Run through the next pathway, collect a few
more on the way. When you get to the next room, grab the
banana in the far left corner. Go around the rock to see and
grab another one. Go across the log for a couple more, then
go left to get another one, then turn 180 degrees to get the
other one. Go back and cross the log again, then turn right.
Collect that banana then follow the path to collect the last
one there sitting at a dead end!
There are a couple of things I will say regarding this
challenge. Firstly, put away your Temporal Uplink. After
going through this challenge a few times, you should know
the route off by heart. The Uplink is relatively big and can
get in the way. Also, try to turn corners smoothly where
possible. You can cut off a few seconds if you can corner
near-perfectly.
Title: Monkey Business
Description: The same but avoid the zombies
Location: Aztec (Outside)
Rewards: Private Poorly
Score for Gold: 58 seconds (Platinum: 48 seconds)
Difficulty: 4/10 presuming you know the route
Strategy: Follow the same route as you did in Banana Chomp, but avoid
the zombies. There are a couple of places where you might
have some problems. The most obvious one is the swamp area
(the one with the ramp and stairs) as two zombies come in and
they might block your way. If this happens, restart.
Title: Playing with Fire
Description: Get as many bananas as you can before you die
Location: Aztec (Outside)
Rewards: Wood Golem
Score for Gold: 24 bananas (Platinum: 24 with 1 second left)
Difficulty: 5/10 or 8/10 depending on if you know the route
Strategy: [ Thanks to Cayene of Doma for this ]
Start off by running to the corner, then turn right,
remembering to take the first left. You should have two. Grab
the banana in front of you, then the one on your right. Grab
all five in the pillar room, then move to the next path. Grab
the four in this hallway. When you get to the fourth, take a
sharp left. Grab five in the next room, don't bother with the
one on the far side. Head down to the next area, grabbing the
group of five in front of you, then head to the right near
the dead end for the last one.
If you want a platinum but you have earned a gold, reset your
game before it saves! There is a glitch, and if you let it
save, you will never get the platinum on this profile.
5) Cut-Out Shoot-Out
=====================
Title: Take 'em Down
Description: Shoot cut-outs to get points, but not civilians
Location: Wild West
Rewards: Ample Sally
Score for Gold: 3,500 points (Platinum: 4,000 points)
Difficulty: 4/10
Strategy: This is really straight forward. Aim at the chest to get 100
points for each one. Make sure you thoroughly go past every
building and do not shoot any civilians (yes, that includes
the boy with the balloon). Follow it and you should get a
decent score with a gold. Cayene of Doma has made a more
detailed guide of this challenge.
Title: Fall Out
Description: Same as before, but in Chicago
Location: Chicago
Rewards: Marco the Snitch
Score for Gold: 1,650 points (Platinum: 1,700 points)
Difficulty: 4/10
Strategy: Again, very simple, but this time all shots are worth 100
points. Watch out for ones that decrease your score by one
(fairly quickly!) and make sure you check both sides of cars.
A more detailed guide can be found by Cayene of Doma.
Title: Pick Yer Piece
Description: From a window, shoot the cut-outs to gain points
Location: Compound
Rewards: Sgt. Rock
Score for Gold: 1,000 points (Platinum: 1,250 points)
Difficulty: 8/10
Strategy: Patience is what you need. Get ready to restart a LOT. I will
try to lead you through this nasty challenge, and like Take
'em Down, where you shoot matters (maximum for each cut-out
is again 100 points). Remember to use your rifle every time.
When you start, run up to the window. Aim slightly to the
right at the top of the blue crate. Shoot at the waist of
this cut-out. The next one appears lower and more to the left
of the first. Aim at the top right leg. Aim directly below
you in the middle, shooting at the backside, then
remove the sight, run backwards to the back right of the
room, and another cut-out should appear (aim for the
backside).
Run back to the window, and if you can, there is a demon to
the right. Shoot in the groin. If you missed, you have a
chance later. Aim to the low right of the blue crate you
aimed at first and another cut-out will appear. Aim at her
thigh. Aim down and left to the grey wall and aim at the
man's waist. Now aim for the far right corner and aim for the
backside again. Directly in front of you on the left hand
side of the crate should be another cut-out, shoot in the
groin. Aim down a bit more and to the left, and a moving
cut-out should appear. Shoot her in the backside. If you
missed the demon earlier (as stated), now's the time. Go back
up there and it should reappear. Shoot in the groin. If you
did previously shoot the demon, go back there anyway. There
is a woman to the right of where the demon was. Shoot her.
The next one appears right at the back, on the ground to the
left of those boxes. Shoot the cut-out, then stand on the
left side of the window and look to the middle right. Shoot
the man that appears, then quickly go to the right side of
the window and look all the way to the left. A target appears
almost side on. Now the next one is almost directly below (to
the right). Then quickly aim straight ahead, high on top of
the crates in the distance. Finally, aim down at the grating
to the left. Shoot the final one quickly before the time runs
out.
6) TimeSplitters 'Story' Classic
=================================
Title: Badass Buspass Impasse
Description: Collect the brain, then run back to the portal
Location: Streets
Rewards: Badass Cyborg
Score for Gold: 1 minute 30 seconds (Platinum: 45 seconds)
Difficulty: 6/10
Strategy: The best thing to do is run past everyone then run back to
the time portal, but that's a bit tricky. What I usually do
is with the pistol, kill the first guard with a head shot,
then kill the woman that jumps out of the corner with a head
shot too. Collect the Soviet, then kill anyone that's in your
way. Don't stop for anything. When you get the brain, there
will be Splitters which will make things harder - just keep
on running to the end.
If you have created a map (using MapMaker) and have played in
it, you will get some sort of medal. This is a glitch, but
you do not get access to the next challenge or get Badass
Cyborg until you have actually completed it yourself.
Title: But Where Did The Batteries Go?
Description: Get the batteries, then run back to the time portal
Location: Scrapyard
Rewards: R One-Oh-Seven
Score for Gold: 5 minutes 30 seconds (Platinum: 4 minutes 30)
Difficulty: 6/10
Strategy: This may seem hard, but there are two armours in this level
to help you. Run to the entrance, head through the doors, go
to the next room. Shoot the ChassisBot in front of you, then
the one on the left. Continue. Turn the corner and you will
see a R109. Kill him and get his Plasma Autorifle. For all
moving turrets, chuck a grenade into the black area to kill
it. When you get to the cooling towers (where you are on the
grated platform), turn a sharp right to see a R109 with a
Minigun. Take it. Just after this bit there is a full body
armour. Also take that. Use your Minigun to mow your way
through to the batteries. When you have, go back as fast as
possible. Near the start (where the R109 with the Plasma
Autorifle was) there is another full armour. Get that and get
into the time portal.
Title: Hit Me Baby One Morgue Time
Description: Grab the bones and run back to the portal
Location: Hospital
Rewards: The Cropolite
Score for Gold: 2 minutes (Platinum: 1 minute)
Difficulty: 8/10
Strategy: Try to ignore zombies if you can. When you start, go straight
forward and then turn left. Turn the next corner and keep
going straight forward until you reach the end of the
hallway. Turn the right corner then run across the large room
to the next hallway (several zombies will appear at this
point, try to dodge them). Then run to the next room (with
the stairs) and run straight across to the next hallway.
Continue until you get to another room. Turn right, going
into a hallway, then turn another right and go in that door,
then turn left across the room with the beds or cots.
You should now encounter some stairs. Sometimes a burning
zombie (Crispin) comes down the stairs. If this is the case,
stand right of the stairs, then when the zombie falls down,
run up the stairs. Go past the balcony (you'll come back here
later) and into the other room (with the beds). If more
burning zombies appear, climb onto the beds to get to the
other side. Once you have done that, turn left at the
intersection (usually another Undead Priest will appear with
his Shotgun), turn right around the corner, grab the bones
lying there, then turn back. Run back through the room with
the beds (if you catch fire here, keep going - you're
nearly at the end). Go back to the balcony, jump off it, then
run into the time portal in front of you!
Zombies and Undead Priests will respawn if you kill an enemy.
Try to minimise your killing to avoid Undead Priests with
Shotguns appearing - and wasting your health.
7) Monkeying Around
===================
Title: Simian Shootout
Description: Shoot as many monkeys as you can to gain points
Location: Mexican Mission
Rewards: Insect Mutant
Score for Gold: 1,800 points (Platinum: 2,000 points)
Difficulty: 8/10
Strategy: This best position to stand (in my opinion) is to stand just
in front of the fountain. Try to memorise where the monkeys
will appear so you know when to stand on the left, the right,
or aiming at the bell. Combos do help a lot. A lot of
monkeys appear towards the end, and so this is a good
chance to get high combos.
Title: Monkey Mayhem
Description: Shoot as many melons as you can!
Location: Circus
Rewards: Misfit
Score for Gold: 2,500 points (Platinum: 3,000 points)
Difficulty: 6/10
Strategy: When you start, run to the barrier then adjust the scope so
it is zoomed out all of the way. Aim slightly lower. This
might take some adjusting, but if you get it right, every
monkey with a melon will go through that spot. Keep shooting
those melons off, trying to get combos, and you will get the
gold needed for this challenge.
Title: Dam Bursters
Description: Same as Simian Shootout
Location: Siberian Dam (On Top)
Rewards: Robofish
Score for Gold: 8,000 points (Platinum: 9,300 points)
Difficulty: 9/10
Strategy: This is one of the hardest challenges. Try to stick to the
left side or the middle. Remember to turn the secondary fire
on and if it overheats too much, turn it off then turn it
back on. Auto-Aim helps a lot and try to concentrate on the
monkeys rolling into the dam. To get combos, try shoot to the
back in the distance and hope you shoot those monkeys. Don't
use the crosshair and keep moving in front of the monkeys if
you can. This challenge relies on luck a lot and also high
combos.
Another tip you might want to try is this: To get combos, try
waiting until you see loads of monkeys in your sight, then
shooting all the monkeys you see.
Andy also gives a tip to help you conquer this challenge:
+-----------------------------------------------------------+
| "Shoot like crazy at the fog in the middle because that's |
| where all the monkeys come from. By doing this I kept on |
| getting combos of eight." |
+-----------------------------------------------------------+
This helps a lot, but try not to overheat the minigun by
doing this. Here's another tip to help you conquer Dam
Bursters from Stuckinabox:
+-----------------------------------------------------------+
| "Instead of staying in one place, continuously strafe |
| back and forth across the dam so you can get a dead on |
| aim for each monkey. This will make them a heck of a lot |
| easier to hit." |
+-----------------------------------------------------------+
This gives you more of a chance to hit those monkeys and so
increasing your chances of a high combo. Thanks for the tips
guys.

4.1 Frequently Asked Questions FRAQ
=============================================
Q: Do you know a good strategy for Dam Bursters?
A: Take a look at the Dam Bursters strategy. A couple of people have also
submitted some of their tips! Keep trying and you will succeed. Good luck!
Q: What do I have to do in order to unlock Big Tony?
A: To unlock Big Tony, you have to complete Chicago in Normal (Story). This can
be done by yourself or in co-op.
Q: I've got many points on Fight Off The Living Dead but I can't get platinium.
How many points is required for platinium?
A: A lot of sources say it's 145,000, but I do not have platinum on this
challenge so I cannot confirm it.
Q: How many platinums and golds do you have?
A: I currently have 42 platinums and 24 golds, but now I only play it for
multiplayer fun. I do know quite a few people with better scores, including
a couple achieving all 66 platinums.
Q: What is surf time?
A: Surf time is where you move without doing so without using your controller.
The only example I can think of in Arcade mode is getting on the crane in
the Hangar level. Going up the lift in Siberia does not count because it is
in Story mode, not in Arcade.
Q: What Challenge do I have to complete to unlock TimeSplitters 'Story'
Classic?
A: To unlock TimeSplitters 'Story' Classic, complete three sections in
Challenges.

4.2 Some Final Tips SFTP
==================================
[ This section has been renamed and re-written for v2.00 ]
Before I close this FAQ, I will give a few more tips.
Remember, if you are in battle with another bot or human, keep strafing and
moving. You will be a much harder target to hit than staying with your feet
stuck to your ground.
When playing against humans, or bots in a lot of cases, search for a decent
weapon if you are constantly getting outgunned.
Regarding arcades and challenges, don't get too mad if you get stuck. Keep
restarting and putting the effort in and eventually you will be rewarded.
Sometimes a bit of luck is all you need.
Try to aim for heads rather than arms or legs. The exception is when using a
Rocket or Homing Launcher, where aiming at the legs is more wise.
I've ran out of tips to give you now. All I can now say is good luck.

4.5 Finishing Off FNHO
================================
This is my first FAQ I have written and I hope that this guide has helped you a
lot. Good luck on progressing through the game. I have had a couple of e-mails
asking if I am going to do a Story mode FAQ. Well, not at the moment. Don't
expect me to do a guide on Story mode, but you never know.
