Red Faction - PlayStation 2
Easy kills
----------
Throw a remote mine on an enemy. If it hits, they will scream and run around
instead of shooting you.
Let them run around and eventually they will try to find guards. When they
do, detonate the bomb to get two or more frags for one.
Take out your pistol with the silencer when you see a guard. Press R1 as
fast as possible until the guard is dead.
Secondary weapon function
-------------------------
When you have a weapon out, press R2 and it will usually change something on
the gun.
Avoid detection
---------------
In the single player game, there are two locations where you have to be
stealthy. One is when you pretend you are a businessman and the other is
when you have to pretend to be a scientist. To make it easier to avoid detection
from guards or other pedestrians, always look down or away from people. No one
will learn your identity until you look them in the face.
Getting items
-------------
When low on energy, kill worker doctors and even Red Faction men to pick up
more health and Environment Suits.
When Hendrix first starts talking to you, go down the catwalk away from the
APC. There should be a tunnel that leads to a miner and guard fighting. Shoot
that guard then shoot the one at the elevator. Stand in front of the elevator
and face the wall behind it. Look up slightly to see a hole. Enter the hole
and at the end is a pond or lake. At the bottom of the pond is a miner's
body, health, and an Environment Suit.
Saving ammunition
-----------------
When you have remote explosives, do not use up ammo for your other weapons.
It only takes one to a few remote explosives to take out enemies. When you
start the game and get to the part where you see the four troopers and the
enemy APC, throw a bomb down by the APC. Detonate it and the bomb will blow
a huge hole in the ground. If done correctly, the APC will fall in and
explode when it hits bottom. Take advantage of the geo-modification of this
game. This also works with groups of enemy soldiers.
If you are low on ammo in any level and do not have enough bullets to kill
an enemy, press Up to aim carefully, then shoot an opponent in the head.
They will automatically die in one shot, saving ammunition.
Badlands: Bottom of level
-------------------------
In this level, there are natural bridges over a giant pit which if you fall,
you will usually die. Use the following trick to get to the bottom without
dying. This will be difficult if you have more than two bots.
It is recommended that you try this alone first. Find the rocket launcher
that is next to a bridge. Go on the bridge and face the flat wall that leads
to the bottom. At a 45 degree angle, start blowing holes downwards until you
have almost reached the bottom. You now have to jump and try to make
it into the first hole you created. .You will lose some health here from the
fall. Once you are there, go backwards out of the hole and slowly drop down
to the next hole. Repeat this pattern until you get to the bottom. Save at
least 1 rocket so you can kill yourself -- the bots will not be able to get
to you. This is difficult to do when playing against bots because of them
shooting at you. Set the timer to 30 minutes. Take a lot of weapons such as
the Rail Driver and the Sniper Rifle with you. Start blowing up the natural
bridges from the bottom. Do not do it completely, but just enough to watch
all the bots plunge to their deaths.
Blasted Canyon: Sniper hole
---------------------------
You will start in one of the two blue boxes on the sides. Use a rocket
launcher to tunnel down.
Take about two shots in the back, then down about two to three shots. After
that, just shoot out the walls in front (that the windows on the blue gate
objects are) until you see light. Peek out and you can see the level below
your box. Note: You may die a few times before accomplishing this.
In multi-player mode, select the Blasted Canyon level. When the game starts,
look out onto the field and turn right at the wall. Get a rocket launcher and
begin blasting the wall. Soon it will be large enough for you too fit in. Get
inside, look down, and shoot a rocket (killing yourself). When you go back in,
you should be under the floor. Begin blasting out some of the rock under the
floor (killing yourself in the process.) After awhile you will have a cave
under the floor. If you wish to make a sniper point, blast (under the floor)
towards the field. You will soon see light, in which case you should blast
open more until you can see the field. Note: Always bring a rocket launcher
down with you, in the event you get stuck there is no getting out.
Feeding Area: Reach next level
------------------------------
When walking through the Feeding Area, go to the edge of the cliff. Look
down and you will see ice. You will not be able to jump down. However, blow
another hole in the ice closest to the edge, and then jump off. You will be
in the water and in the next level.
Installation XJ5: Hidden pit
----------------------------
In the deathmatch Installation XJ5, you can get outside to the pit. Grab the
rocket launcher and jump down, then turn left. Note the archway above. Blast
a hole in the wall below the doorway and start building a tunnel straight to
the open window. Just going to the archway above and blasting around the window
does not work due to an invisible wall. Once you make the tunnel all the way
through, you can look down into the pit below, If you drop down, you will always
die. Turn to the left or right and blast a hole big enough to jump into (make
the hole on the outside of the wall). Jump into the hole, then make another
hole directly in front of you but down slightly. Now that you have made another
hole, jump into it. Make sure the hole is not too far down, or you will die from
the fall. Repeat this process until you have reached the bottom of the pit.
Note: It is next to impossible to get back up once you are down there.
Lobby: Secret roof area
-----------------------
Go to the second level of the Lobby multi-player level and grab the rocket
launcher. Walk over to the edge of the balcony and start shooting up towards
the wall facing the lobby itself. After enough shots you will dig a tunnel to
the roof. Walk through and jump right up. You can shoot out the glass and snipe
people down on the second level. There also is a Fusion Rocket Launcher that you
can grab.
Lobby: Hidden items
-------------------
Go to the four corners on the first level of the lobby after you have obtained
the rocket launcher in the muti-player level. Use the rocket launcher on the four
corners to find health, enviorsuits, a fusionrocket, a flame thrower, and a rail
driver.
Mercs Base: Entering
--------------------
After the crash site, you will follow a system of tunnels and ridges filled
with enemies (most with heavy machine guns, some with fusion rockets and rail
drivers). When you meet the Red Faction miner in the caves, he will say that he
will watch your back. At this time you will follow a tall tunnel to a bridge --
you do not want to be on the bridge. Between the miner and the bridge is a turn
off that leads to a catwalk going over the bridge. Kill the two gaurds and follow
the catwalk until it stops at a hole in the wall. Jump from the catwalk into the
hole and follow it until you get the grenades. Use them to kill the turrets
and the fusion rocket carrying guard on the other side of the large rock by the
grenades. This saves time and health you would have spent trying to fight the guard
and the turrets.
The Shooting Gallery: Avoiding damage

When nearing the end of the game in single player mode, you will have to
catch the tram to proceed to the
