-TimeSplitters for Playstation 2- Written by Shinya Email: kain_is_evil@yahoo.com ----------------------------- *Complete Challenge Mode FAQ* ----------------------------- -Introduction- Do to the amount of e-mails I have recieved, It seems to me that more people are having trouble or stuck in Challange Mode. I too suffered quite a bit when playing these challenges, so I want to make it a little easier for me to keep up with all of your e-mails by writing a Complete FAQ for Challange Mode. NOTE: For those of you who haven't gotten Challange Mode yet, all you have to do to aquire it, is beat 2035 Spaceways on Easy. You do not, I repeat, you do not have to complete every level on easy to unlock it, just Spaceways. There are 27 challenges in all, and I will go through each one step by step in order to answer all of your questions, as well as give you some suggestions on how I was able to beat that perticular challenge. I will also tell you what you get for beating that challenge. If you want to skip the whole walkthrough part and just want to know what you get for beating it, go take a peak at my other SECRETS FAQ. ---------------- *Challenge Mode* ---------------- You will start off challenge mode with challenges 1-A, 2-A, and 3-A open. You do not have to do challenge mode in any certain order, as long as you beat them all. In order for you to unlock other challenges you have to beat earlier challenges. All challenges come in sets of 3; A,B, and C. To unlock B you have to finish A and so on. Challenges will open up in numerical order 1-9. ----------------------- 1-A| Behead the Undead: ----------------------- Zombies are coming at you from all angles, and you have take 50 heads off in 2 minutes, what to do? Here what I do is manual aim at the zombies heads. This will give you the most accurate shot with your shotgun. Don't worry about dying you will respawn very quickly. Learn to strafe and manual aim at the same time, and accuracy is the key. And try not to spread the zombies out to much, if you clump them up, you can take off more than one head with just 1 shot. *What you get- The Living Dead bot set will be unlocked. All zombies are available as bots in Arcade. --------------------- 1-B| Putrid Punchout: --------------------- Now unarmed you have to take off 30 heads in 1 minute. This is what I noticed, when you punch, you punch right handed. So, strafe around the left side of the zombie and swing and if you miss, they won't hit you. Its almost like closelining them. It is also best to try to stay alive as much as possible to save time. *What you get- Green and Brown Zombies as Playable characters in Arcade Mode. ---------------------- 1-C| Dusk of the Dead: ---------------------- Oh boy! Zombies are flooding you and you have to score 10,000 points to win. The zombies that come after you come in phases, each phase of zombies is increased every phase. So, if you want to take some time and learn where the Zombies appear it will take you less phases to beat(It only took me 4 phases). The faster you beat a phase the more points you get. But, if you just want to try and go "GungHo", you can use the stairs to your advantage. Start off a phase upstairs and take out all zombies that appear up there, if you can. Then all of the zombies downstairs will just start to flock in the middle of the room. From here it will be easy to pick them off from upstairs, you will not aquire many points due to you taking more time in beating the phase, but it is a good tactic. If you wish to camp downstairs, by all means. And if you ever get to flooded with zombies coming at you, the best thing to do is strafe. Strafing around the zombies will almost 100% of the time be your life saver. *What you get- Police, Skull, and Jacket Zombies are now playable characters in Arcade Mode. --------------------------- 2-A| Flock Around the Dock: --------------------------- Getting those 100 ducks in only 5 minutes can get quite frustrating at first. What you will have to do first is locate the 2x Uzi ammo spot outside by stair case leading into one of the buildings. You will find that it reappears by the big grey crate. Keep resuppying your ammo, and stay in that general area of the stage. Do not try to follow the ducks around, you will waste to much time in doing so. If you stay in that stop and in between the 2 buildings you can kill the ducks as fast as them come, they will respawn quick and they can find you a lot easier. Like I said, let them come to you, do not chase them. And start killing them off the get go, dont waste any time, it could mean getting 99 or 100 ducks. *What you get- Arcade Bot, Duckman, will be unlocked in Arcade mode. -------------------- 2-B| Dock Duck Shot: -------------------- You're up against some competition here. You have to get 100 kills in 7 minutes. A Green and Red Alien are fighting against you, trying to stop you from winning. This challenge isn't to hard as long as you keep yourself healed, have plenty of ammo, and keep the dying down. The ducks that you fight here again will not take to much life out of you, but the Red and Green Alien will, so keep an eye on them both. Use your radar, it can come in handy. *What you get- All enemies are Ducks cheat is now unlocked in Story Mode. ----------------- 2-C| Crispy Duck: ----------------- This is one of 3 escort challenges. You have to cover Duckman Drake and get him to the dock without him dying. This is where your radar comes in very handy. Learn to use your radar, and stay out of the way of Duckman Drake, so when people try to shoot him they will not hit you instead. Most importantly, DO NOT DIE. There are a few drone guns on this stage, I suggest you find them and run ahead of Drake and destroy them before he gets there. And keep a good ammo supply. This may take a few tries, don't worry. *What you get- Duckman Drake as a playable charater in Arcade Mode. ------------------- 3-A| Tin Man Trial: ------------------- A good ol' game of bag tag. Robofish has gotta hold on to that bag for a minute. Just get yourself a good weapon, shoot everyone you see, grab the bag and camp on one end of the level and just wait for guys to come get you, then just pick them off as they come. This is pretty simple since you can shoot when you have the bag. *What you get- Arcade bot Robofish is now unlocked in Arcade Mode. ----------------- 3-B| Lobster Run: ----------------- Gotta get those lobsters back to your cirlce and you need 15 in 5 1/2 minutes. Your cirlce is in the middle. Just use the path that leads you straight to the docks that will be behind you when you first start. Key here is shoot everyone and get those lobsters back fast! Use the other way through the house instead of taking the street, it will save you tons of time and gunfire. *What you get- All enemies are Robofish cheat unlocked in Story Mode. -------------------- 3-C| Bowl Them Over: -------------------- Gotta get those heads off of those mutants, 40 of them, in under 5 minutes. You can use a really cheap trick to beat this one. If you know the Castle level really well, there is a cellar with an Assualt Shotgun and health. If you camp there and keep getting healing, the Mutants will come to you very fast. Just be sure to manual aim at there heads, if you miss they will die and you will have to wait for them to respawn again. You need heads not kills. *What you get- Robofish as a playable character in Arcade Mode. ----------------------------------- 4-A| Shame if Something Got Broken: ----------------------------------- Its pay back time. Break every single pane of glass you see in 1 miutes 10 seconds. There are 69 panes in all, 4 in the building behing you, one of which is very hidden. In order to get this hidden pane, look through the bottom window and look to your upper right, you may have to move back a little, you should have a clear shot at it. There are 4 in the building ahead of you and 61 of them over on the huge wall just ahead of you when you start. Some small panes are black, be sure to get each and everyone of them. *What you get- Nothing. ----------------------- 4-B| Don't Wait Around: ----------------------- Time to just break everything in the Chinese level, and you have to do it in 3 minutes. There are no secret panes of glass in this one, just be sure not to over look any when you shoot. Sometimes the smoke can make you miss 1 or 2 panes. There are 140 panes total and they are in these locations. -5 windows when you first start in the door entry. -18 windows up high in the gong room. -4 railing glass in the gong room. -28 windows in one room. -5 misc panes in the same room. -28 windows in the other room. -5 misc panes in the same room. -47 plates in the kitchen. Grand total of 140. *What you get- Enemy Bricks cheat unlocked in Story Mode. ---------------------- 4-C| Brick Flung High: ---------------------- Same thing as challenge 4-B except you have to do it in 4 minutes 30 seconds with just Bricks. Aiming the brick can be very tricky at first, and be sure to use the seconardy fire for the windows that are up high. Also be sure to break the plates at an angle. Sometimes the brick can be very mean to you, and will hit the wall and bounce back and hit you. If you get hit with the brick, IT HURTS, so be very careful when breaking the plates. It also helps if you break the small windows with just your fist instead of taking extra time in aiming the brick to break them. *What you get- The Brick is now available as a weapon in Arcade Mode. ----------------------- 5-A| First Impressions: ----------------------- Help the King get 10 kills in under a minute. All you have to do in this one is cover the King and have him win with 10 kills. The Compound is a small level, and the King should make quick work of these guys. Just kill anyone you see. You should be able to get this one in your first or second try. What you get- Arcade bot Impersonator is now unlocked in Aracde Mode. ------------------------- 5-B| Lasting Impressions: ------------------------- Help the King this time get 1st place with 25 kills in 1 minute 15 seconds. You can't let the King die in this one, or its failed. A good tactic to do is learn where the other 3 opponents start. Work your way toward them, killing them as they come out of there little room. The King will pack some great fire power and never miss most of the time. Work your way closer to where they start and you should be sitting right infront of there respawn point. Try not to die, its a time saver and you need to cover the King. This one may take a few tries to learn where the other team starts. *What you get- All enemies are Impersonators cheat is unlocked in Story Mode. --------------------------------- 5-C| Who's he Trying to Impress?: --------------------------------- Same rules apply as in 5-B, but you can't personally score more than 3 kills, if you do, you will fail. What you can do, is let the King do everything, work your way toward their respawn point, and If you need to shoot someone, count how many you have shot. This one can be a pain, because the Kings AI can be really dumb sometimes. A lot of time, this challenge is luck. *What you get- The Impersonator as a playable character in Arcade Mode. ------------------ 6-A| Barrel Blast: ------------------ You have to use your Special Forces skills to destroy all the barrels in this level in under 6 minutes. To start this one off, it is best to get to know the Chemical Plant. It will be quite hard to do this challenge if you do not know where you are going and where to cut down time when running to a certain area of the level. This challenge is pretty straight forward, totally destroy all 72 barrels. To destroy a barrel, you must keep shooting it until it is completely gone and has stopped spraying toxic fumes. Using the primary and secondary fire don't make to much difference, but I have noticed that the secondary fire tends to spray the shotgun rounds more, this works when you are shooting a huge mass of barrels at one time. There is what they call a "hidden" barrel on this stage. It is located behind the big brick wall toward the back of the stage. To get to this barrel, make your way upstairs and outside onto the ledge that is facing the brick wall. Where you shoot the barrel that is in your way of fire, you will stand there and manually aim at the barrel. Be sure to watch your total barrels left to insure yourself that you did indeed destroy that barrel. *What you get- Nothing. --------------- 6-B| Bodyguard: --------------- This is the second escort challenge out of the 3. You have to cover Lt. Christine Malone and make sure she lives to reach the other side of the Chemical Plant. Same rules and tactics apply as in challenge 2-C. Key here is be sure to use your radar and look up and down when walking through the Chemical Plant, enemies can pop out of anywhere at any time. *What you get- Gasmask SWAT as a playable charcater in Arcade Mode. ----------- 6-C| Heist: ----------- Stop Fingers and his gang from taking 5 bags from the bank in 5 minutes. You will start on a ledge infront of the bank and be supplied with ammo and health, you cannot fall off of the ledge, if you do you will die and respawn. This is where the tactic "camping" comes in handy. Just keep yourself well supplied with ammo, grab the health when needed, and try to keep your deaths down. Also avoid anyone coming up to your camping stop, it can be a pain if you respawn and then just die right away. And also keep an eye on your radar, it can come in handy will all of those pesky bots trying to get those bags. Remember, they have to get 5 to make you fail, if they get 4 you will still win the challenge. *What you get- Veiled SWAT is now a playable charcater and bot in Arcade Mode. ------------------------ 7-A| Shop 'til you Drop: ------------------------ Another variation of Capture the Bag just as in challange 3-A, except this time you have some help from Peekaboo Jones and Mary-Beth Casey. You will have to bring back 15 items in 3 minutes. Now this isn't just you having to do this, its a team effort. Since you are playing in the Mall, don't forget that you can venture off to any spot as you wish, but the Items will be out in front of you in the isles. A good tip is to let the AI on your team do a lot of the work and try to keep yourself alive. All of the bots that are against you can be a real pain sometimes. Good way of avoiding them after you pick up a bag is to venture out of the main shopping area, run back around behind (away from the gunfire) and hit the target point from behind the action. This may take longer, I know, but it will save you plenty of time in that you will take less damage and keep your deaths way down saving you even more time that way. *What you get- Arcade bot Ginger is now unlocked in Arcade Mode. ------------------------------- 7-B| Sorry, Was That Your Bag?: ------------------------------- Help Dr. Graven and Dr. Nadir win this Capture the Bag challenge with 5 in 3 minutes. Again you will playing in the Mall with 2 other bot teams. Knowing where the other teams Bags are helps a bit but the Doctors will do a lot of capturing for you. You have to help them "WIN" so, even though you got 5 bags you could still fail because another team got more than 5. So guarding your bag and at the same time getting bags can be hard, so take your time and be quick if you are going to leave your bag to go get one. Also keep an eye on the others teams scores, if one is jumping ahead, go cause some trouble over at there base. *What you get- All enemies are Gingerbread's cheat is now unlocked in Story Mode. ----------------------- 7-C| Everyone Must Go!: ----------------------- Just a straight Team Deathmatch challenge. You will have help and you have to get 45 kills in 3 minutes. Just play it as if you were playing multi-player. Keep yourself alive, ammoed up, and use your radar. Be fast, you only have 3 minutes. Again this challenge is in the Mall level. *What you get- Gingerbread Man is now a playable character in Arcade Mode. -------------------- 8-A| Girls `n` Boys: -------------------- Farrah is here to help the girls team win with a score of 80 in 5 minutes. A historic team deathmatch with the Boys versus the Girls. This challenge takes place in the Cyberden, it again helps to know this level and be able to follow your radar. Try not to die, because your AI teammates can be really dumb and that leaves you to do all of the killing. You will also have to be very fast in order to obtain 80 kills in 5 minutes. Use speed strafing to get to the Boys and just let`r rip. Less dying, keeping ammo, and using your radar, this challenge will be cake. Also do not kill your own teammates, it will not help you when they are running around gunless after they respawn. *What do you get- Arcade bot Fun-bunny is now unlocked in Arcade Mode.
