Armored Core 2 - PlayStation 2
Add defeated AC emblems
-----------------------
Press Select + Start when the victory message appears in the arena to add
the defeated AC's emblem to your list.
Steal Emblems
-------------
If you see an emblem in the arena that you want to use, select the
appropriate AC and
press Triangle to display the spec screen. Then, press Start + Select.
A sound will confirm correct code entry. Select "Edit Emblem" to view it.
Temporary invincibility
-----------------------
Press L2 + R2 + R3. A "Limiter Released" system error message will appear,
and you will have unlimited energy during this time. After approximately
one minute, the "OB Down" system error will appear. It will last as long
as the previous error, but you will not have any energy. After "OB
Down" is completed, your AC will recharge and return to normal. Make sure
you finish off your enemy before you become vulnerable.
Plus cheats
-----------
Intentionally lose the first mission after the Raven test, then die
with -50,000 credits or less to activate the "Plus" cheats. The game will
restart from the first level with all items gained in the previous game.
Your pilot name will vanish from the "Pilot name" slot. The more times this
is done, the more cheats you will unlock. Some examples are better radar
(grid system that detects incoming missiles), fire projectiles from laser
swords (press Circle, then quickly press X), cooling twice as fast, being
able to fire rear weapons while in motion, and double available energy.
Overweight cores
----------------
Successfully complete the game in mission mode and allow the credits to
complete to be able to have cores that are overweight.
Unlimited energy, weight, and arm weight
----------------------------------------
Successfully complete the game and allow the credits to complete. You will
now be able to play with unlimited energy, weight, and arm weight.
Defuse Explosives: Extra money
------------------------------
Select the Defuse Explosives level and equip yourself with the Karasawa MK
II. Stay far away from the flame throwers and destroy them with the Karasawa.
You should not get hit very much and get an easy 43,000 credits.
Destroy the main computer: Hidden AC part
-----------------------------------------
On the mission given by LCC to destroy the main computer, you will play in
the same starting area as the radar destroying mission. However, you will
start at the place just to the right of the secret part. From here, move
left two containers and blow the third one up to receive the part.
The part is an extremely fast lock on missile launcher that fires 12 in just
6 to 7 seconds with 60 rounds.
Destroy Containers: Hidden AC part
----------------------------------
When you have to destroy the crates during the snow mission, enter the crack
to the right of the starting location. Destroy part of the airplane to open a
small cave. It contains a part that makes your left arm weapons or shields power
up.
Eliminate Leos Kline: Hidden AC part
------------------------------------
On the mission where the Earth Government sends you to kill Klein, but
requests that you keep their surrounding system intact you can find a new set
of energy weapon type arms. Note: This turns out not to be the real Klein but
an unmanned AC. Equip a head with a hacking of 4 or greater. In the last hallway
before entering the chamber where you will do battle with the fake, you will
encounter two side doors. The first door will be on your right and the second
will appear on your left, just a few feet before the door to the main chamber.
On the floor of the small room behind that left door is the hidden AC part.
The AC part's description states that they are considered to be a more energy-based
version of the modern slug gun.
Ground Based Assault: Hidden AC part
------------------------------------
Go to the opposite side of the map. Fly underneath the bridge to find a
ledge that has a hidden AC
part, which is the highest armored head available.
Infiltrate Radar Base and Destroy Radar Base: Hidden AC parts
-----------------------------------------------------------------
There are two AC parts in the same building on both of these levels. Get
outside, then move all the
way to the right to find three buildings with doors on both sides. Shoot the
door on far side of the
building furthest to the right to find a different part on each of those
level.
Infiltrate STAI Battleship: Defeat massive MT
----------------------------------------------
Get a lightweight Bipedal Humanoid Core, equipped with the Karasawa MKII (or
other high powered
weapon) and the small Grenade Launcher. Find a good place that you can lie
and wait. As the MT
approaches from behind, face the opposite direction so you will not get hit
by the cannon blasts.
When it passes over, aim for the big middle part of the MT and fire away at
it. It resembles a human torso.
Protect The Train: Hidden AC part
-----------------------------------
Play the "Protect The Train" mission. When the train arrives, destroy the
second to last train car to reveal
a hidden AC part. This results in an automatic mission failure, but you get
to keep the part. It is a Back
Booster extension part that speeds up backwards boosting.
Rescue Research Team: Hidden AC part
-----------------------------------------
Go approximately halfway through the corridor with the floating platform.
Repeatedly shoot the different
colored disk at that location. Fall all the way down the opening that
appears to find the LS-Moonlight,
the most powerful laserblade in the game.
Safeguard Secret Information: Hidden AC part
-----------------------------------------------
Equip a head with a hacking of at least 4 . Turn left in the room before the
elevator, then open the
doors. Shoot the crates in the center to uncover a panel in the floor. Shoot
the panel to find a hidden
missile launcher AC part.
Stop The Surface Weapon: Hidden AC part
---------------------------------------------
Go past the weapons to find the Karasawa MK-II near some rocks.
Training room: Hidden AC part
--------------------------------
Repeatedly shoot the circle in the ceiling until it breaks. Enter the hidden
area and follow the
shaft to find a part for your radar.
Underground Railway: Hidden AC parts
----------------------------------------
Follow the right-side branch of the tunnel to the end. Destroy the panel at
that location. There is another
panel in the ceiling above. Shoot the ceiling panel to find a hidden AC
part, which is the best shield available.
Zio City Suppresion: Hidden AC part
--------------------------------------
Quickly search the urban area to the right to find a hidden AC part. Note:
You have to leave one of the
Special Forces alive until you find it.
AC Test area: Hidden AC part
--------------------------------
Blow up center of the ceiling and fly up there. Look around to find a hidden
AC part.
Defeating Matthais
-------------------
Unlock Matthais, choose the Battle Dome and use the Karasawa and a well
armored AC. Fight by
keeping him under fire until he takes to the air. Activate the Limiter
Release, keep with him, and do
not let up. To make it easier, have the Energy Weapon Amplifier and
Accelerator.
Defeating Nine Breaker
------------------------
Before getting to him, he will give you a Sniper Rifle. On the way there you
should have collected a lot
of credits. Use this to buy the Pursuit Missile launcher. Make a Core with
AP higher than 9Breaker's,
with the Missile Launcher, Sniper Rifle, and Missile Interceptors. You
should be able to defeat him in
the crater. After that
-----------------------
Press Select + Start when the victory message appears in the arena to add
