directory where the game was installed. Change the Max_FPS=30 line to Max_FPS=9999.
Disable opening videos:
-----------------------
Enter the "\BMGame\Movies" in the game directory. Rename or move the "Intro_BM3Logo_fire.usm"
and "nv_logo.usm" files.
Freeze Blast hidden gadget:
---------------------------
The Freeze Blast is the only gadget in the game that you do not get through natural progression.
Unlike other gadgets, you actually have to find and collect it. The Freeze Blast can be found
in Panessa Studios in the room after exiting the elevator. It is required to get some of the
Riddler Trophies. Thus, it is required to reach 100% completion and get the full Knightfall
Protocol ending. As the name suggests, you can freeze enemies with it to render them immobile
for a short time, making it useful for combat encounters. You can also freeze steam pipes with
it to reach certain riddler collectibles that are otherwise inaccessible.
The Ghost in Gray:
------------------
In several areas of the game like Oracle's Clock Tower and Panessa Studios, posters can be seen
for The Gray Ghost. This is a reference to the Batman Animated Series episode "Beware the Gray
Ghost," where Batman must solve a crime spree reminiscent of an old TV show who's main hero
(voiced by Adam West) operated much like Batman.
Batman: Arkham series references:
---------------------------------
Enter the Gotham City Police Department, and explore the Evidence Locker to see weapons and
items confiscated from villains in previous Batman: Arkham series of games.
Superman reference:
-------------------
Listen to the messages on Bruce's answering machine at Wayne Tower to hear several messages
from Lex Luthor. Additionally, some thugs can be heard referencing Superman.
GCPD Evidence Locker:
---------------------
When in the GCPD, Batman can view the Evidence Locker, which contains weapons an gear
confiscated by villains throughout Batman's adventures in Arkham Origins (note elsewhere also
the references to the Blackgate Riots that took place during that game), Arkham Asylum, and
Arkham City - all of which have voice recordings from Aaron Cash. You can find Talia's sword
in the Evidence Locker, and inspecting it will cause Batman to have a private moment of
reflection. Any additional enemies apprehended during the course of Arkham Knight will see
their weapons and items added to the Evidence Locker.
New Story + mode:
-----------------
Successfully complete the game to unlock the "New Story +" option at the main menu. In New
Story + mode, you will retain your WayneTech upgrades and experience points and will play
on the Knightmare difficulty.
DC Universe References:
-----------------------
Throughout the game, many of the thugs Batman encounters will discuss other cities and heroes
in the DC universe, including Metropolis, Bludhaven, Keystone and Central City. There are also
several buildings owned by other DC heroes and villains.
Catwoman makes reference to having burgled Queen Industries, which is the large corporation
owned by Oliver Queen - A.K.A. Green Arrow.
There are several billboards advertising vacation packages to Santa Prisca, which is the home
country of the villain Bane. Many Militia members can also be heard referencing the South
American country.
Other thugs reference the fact that Gotham beats out Keystone because you can at least see
Batman coming, unlike The Flash, who hails from Keystone.
Superman References:
--------------------
Superman has been one of Batman's best allies and greatest foes throughout his career as
the "World's Greatest Detective." In Arkham Knight, many in-game items refer to the line
between the Man of Steel and the Dark Knight.
* Listen to Bruce's answering machine in Wayne Tower to hear several messages from Lex
Luthor, who is interested in purchasing the Applied Sciences division of Wayne
Enterprises - apparently Bruce has been avoiding his calls.
* Scattered all over Gotham are billboards for the mega-corporation that serves as the
main infrastructure for Clark Kent's nemesis Lex Luthor.
* Several thugs can be heard lamenting the state of Gotham, adding that all it needs
now is for a certain caped freak to come flying in.
General Tips:
-------------
* Remember to dodge in the Batmobile. It can take quite a bit of damage, but the game
throws a lot of enemy vehicles at Batman in the latter half of the game.
* Use your special weapons with the Batmobile. The level 2 missile barrage is particularly
effective, as you can take out three vehicles at once with it.
* Mix up combos to get the most XP from combat encounters. Also, use dual takedowns
frequently when fighting with one of Batman's friends.
* The supervillain side missions contribute to the true ending, so focus on those in your
playthrough.
* The disruptor is perhaps the best gadget in the game. When you're in a room full of
enemies, use detective vision and disrupt a few devices before you get started on stealth
takedowns.
* The multi-fear takedown is one of the best abilties in the game. If you see a few henchman
all alone, you can sneak up on them and take all three out. Execute a regular silent
takedown to recharge the multi-fear takdown.
* Be on the lookout for areas to attach the Batmobile's Power Winch to. You might find
some secret goodies such as Riddler trophies.
* Remember to tap X multiple times to enact Batman's grapple boost and gain maximum height
when flying throughout Gotham.
