Extra lock ons:- Equip your core with the laser sword and missiles. Begin
game play and approach an enemy from a safe distance. Draw the sword and
press Up, Down, R1, L1 to gain an extra lock on.
Note: Up to six additional lock ons may be accumulated.
First person view:- Press Square + Triangle + Start. Game play will be
paused. Press Start to resume game play with the new camera
angle. Substitute Select in the code instead of Start for the Japanese
version of the game.
Fixed camera view:- Press Circle + X + Start. Game play will be paused.
Press Start to resume game play with the camera fixed at the
present location. Substitute Select in the code instead of Start for the
Japanese version of the game.
Return to default view:- Press Start to pause game play, then press Start
to resume. Substitute Select instead of Start for the Japanese version
of the game.
Alternate emblem backgrounds:- Highlight an emblem and enter the edit
screen. Then, hold L1 + R1 and press Select.
Edit pilot name:- Highlight the "A.C. Name Entry" option, hold Select,
and press X.
Continue from Armored Core:- Successfully complete the original Armored
Core and save the game. Load that game into Armored Core: Project
Phantasma to start with your previously obtained parts and money.
You have to load a save from the first game to start with the Plus
enhancements you had in Armored Core. It is not known if you can get the
Plus enhancements by loading a save in Armored Core: Project Phantasma
that does not have any of the Plus enhancements.
Hints:
Overweight override:- When you build your AC, you will
notice that there is a weight limit on the selected legs. To override
this, just finish the game so the overall % under system reads 100%. To do
this, just complete every mission. Keep in mind that while you can load
any leg type with whatever you want after you get 100%, your speed will
decrease about 2 1/2 for every hundred pounds that you are overweight.
Sword wave:- Get Human Plus mode a few times. Then, draw your sword
and press X (jump) just before the downslash. If done correctly, you will
fire the fabled "wave" that all of the higher ranked ACs use. To fire the
"blue wave of mass destruction", simply
do this trick with the Moonlight blade. It can do over 1000 AP worth of
damage.
Taking missions:- When taking missions, check the sender. If you take too
many from one company, others will stop sending you missions. However,
after you complete the game you can still play the missions and get the
money. Then, all the missions will be
available to replay as many times as desired.
Defeating Phantasma Stinger:- Buy the arms that are bazookas. Dash on the
ground while holding L1 or R1 and fire a continuous volley of shots.
You should defeat him in less than a minute.
Glitch: Shoot through city building:- Equip either one of the grenade
launchers, and go to the City Map location in two player split screen
mode, arena battle, or linked play. Move right next to a building and face
directly at it. Fire a grenade at the other player's AC unit.
The projectile will pass through the building without
immediately exploding, and you will have the protection of a building
from enemy fire. Note: This will not work if you are at an angle -- you
must be facing the building directly, with the tip of the gun touching the
wall. |
