This is a walkthrough for Armored Core (4): Nine Breaker. This is a very different game from the past installments... there are no missions at all... just training and an Arena. Well, this is the ninth AC game to date... and the Arena is all the same, I am not covering it in this FAQ... only the Training. The purpose of this guide is strictly to get all of the Gold ranks, nothing more. But here are some things you most follow: 1. You will be converting data if you want to follow this FAQ. This is because you can start with every part from Armored Core Nexus. If you don't have this game, buy it... otherwise I don't know how you could even grasp the new gameplay concepts with just training missions and arena fights. Also make sure you convert Nexus data ONLY if you have everything from Nexus... has any part still unbought or any part still hidden will never EVER be there... there is no shop... If you don't have everything, then you should start over. 2. I do not care about anything but gold... top ranks could mean little to me... like I mind being beat in the Lock on skill trainer from a guy that uses just rockets... (Not joking) 3. You must have previous knowledge of the game... no controls or explaining how to hop boost... 4. You beat the standard Arena before even the first training mission. 5. I do not use dual analog, if that effects anything. 6. When reading a 5th mission guide, make sure you read all the ones before it... That means read the 1-4 as well. 7. One more thing, I swear... I do tune every part I use... but since I work too much, I'm not bothering to mention jack about it. Time issues, **** happens. In my opinion, this is the hardest AC game to "ACE." Some training missions are ungodly hard... so don't expect to get a gold rank on your first try all the time.

No need to worry about defense, as nothing attacks you. [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] ~Accuracy 1 * Area ----- Ark-Center Location - Range_Pit-04 Breifing: Shooting Accuracy - D This exercise is designed to test SHOOTING ACCURACY. You have 65 SECONDS in which to accomplish the task. Objective: Destroy 30 targets Gold Rank : ~45 seconds Silver Rank : ~60 seconds Bronze Rank : ~65 seconds Overview: In this training mission, you have to shoot slow flying targets out of the air as they travel. I used the Linear Rifle as my main weapon as it kills in one hit. Remember, none of these MTs attack you. Set up used: Head ---------- H05-HORNET Core ---------- C05-SELENA Arms ---------- CR-A88FG Legs ---------- LH-07DINGO2 Booster ------- B05-GULL FCS ----------- KOKUH (This is your choice really...)

All you have to do is pick off the targets as fast as possible. When you see a latch open, start shooting your left arm weapon, as it has a start up time. Then right after you shoot, readjust a little lower or higher with your other weapon. Use your exceed orbits as a helper.

You have 80 SECONDS in which to accomplish the task. Objective: Destroy 35 targets Gold Rank : ~55 seconds Silver Rank : ~70 seconds Bronze Rank : ~80 seconds Overview: This is the same thing as the last exercise, only the enemies move a lot quicker... Set up used: Head ---------- H05-HORNET Core ---------- C05-SELENA Arms ---------- CR-A88FG Legs ---------- LH-07DINGO2 Booster ------- B05-GULL FCS ----------- KOKUH Generator ----- FUDOH Radiator ------ RAGORA Inside -------- NONE Extension ----- NONE Back Unit R --- NONE Back Unit L --- NONE Arm Unit R ---- CR-WR93RL Arm Unit L ---- CR-WL85RS Hanger Unit R - NONE Hanger Unit L - NONE Op Parts ------ CR-079+ 003-CODON MARSHI What I did: Do the same thing as in the previous trainer... only you have to be more accurate to adjust to their speed. This one is actually easier since targets are more frequent. Personal Rank: 00'45'52 [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] ~Accuracy 3 * Area ----- Ark-Center Location - Range_Pit-04 Breifing: Shooting Accuracy - B This exercise is designed to test SHOOTING ACCURACY. You have 150 SECONDS in which to accomplish the task. Objective: Destroy 30 targets Gold Rank : ~60 seconds Silver Rank : ~100 seconds Bronze Rank : ~150 seconds Overview: This is exactly the same as the first training exercise in this block, only one small change -- there are four little columns in the way... all you have to do is... actually move a bit to hit the targets... nothing too extreme. Set up used: Head ---------- H05-HORNET Core ---------- C05-SELENA Arms ---------- CR-A88FG Legs ---------- LH-07DINGO2 Booster ------- B05-GULL FCS ----------- KOKUH Generator ----- FUDOH Radiator ------ RAGORA Inside -------- NONE Extension ----- NONE Back Unit R --- NONE Back Unit L --- NONE Arm Unit R ---- CR-WR93RL Arm Unit L ---- CR-WL85RS Hanger Unit R - NONE Hanger Unit L - NONE Op Parts ------ CR-079+ 003-CODON MARSHI What I did: You should know how to take out these guys by now... only try to strafe to a side where they come out of... be sure to note the color of your lock box... if it's green, don't shoot, but once it turns red, fire! Also these are only the slower ones... but still, to ensure a hit at a akeard angle, kill the closer ones first.

You have 155 SECONDS in which to accomplish the task. Objective: Destroy 35 targets Gold Rank : ~70 seconds Silver Rank : ~105 seconds Bronze Rank : ~155 seconds Overview: If you combine the second and third accuracy tests together, it will look something like this. All that has changed is that you have the fast enemies again with pillars in the way. Set up used: Head ---------- H05-HORNET Core ---------- C05-SELENA Arms ---------- CR-A88FG Legs ---------- LH-07DINGO2 Booster ------- B05-GULL FCS ----------- KOKUH Generator ----- FUDOH Radiator ------ RAGORA Inside -------- NONE Extension ----- NONE Back Unit R --- NONE Back Unit L --- NONE Arm Unit R ---- CR-WR93RL Arm Unit L ---- CR-WL85RS Hanger Unit R - NONE Hanger Unit L - NONE Op Parts ------ CR-079+ 003-CODON MARSHI What I did: Keep up the same work as in the previous trainer. This one shouldn't be hard at all... Remember to kill the closer targets first... and don't kill yourself if one flies by... use this miss to start up your sniper rifle for a farther one... (as you can hit them from more places).

There are a few changes though. The enemies are the same as in the 1st and 3rd, only they appear smaller, faster, and move up and down. The walls also move back and fouth, which isn't too much. Set up used: Head ---------- H05-HORNET Core ---------- C05-SELENA Arms ---------- CR-A88FG Legs ---------- LH-07DINGO2 Booster ------- B05-GULL FCS ----------- KOKUH Generator ----- FUDOH Radiator ------ RAGORA Inside -------- NONE Extension ----- NONE Back Unit R --- NONE Back Unit L --- NONE Arm Unit R ---- CR-WR93RL Arm Unit L ---- CR-WL85RS Hanger Unit R - NONE Hanger Unit L - NONE Op Parts ------ CR-079+ 003-CODON MARSHI What I did: Turn on your EO's ASAP. This is so you can get two uses out of them through out the practice. Now here are the changes you'll have to make: Go for the bonus targets. Now to make one appear, you'll have to kill three targets in 10 seconds. Which by ALL means isn't a hard task in this mission. This really isn't too hard, but make sure to go for bonus targets.

For the first one, only use your blade, dash high if it is higher... For the second, you'll want to shoot out the top with your rockets, then blade the bottom for an easy four. Now for the third, only attack one side, save time and don't bother side stepping to the other side. Try to be in the middle of all the walls, so you can hit two with both your rockets. Don't forget to drop your rockets once they are empty. However, with your blade, it's better if you stand a little right to the middle, as your blade swing covers much more to your left than right. P.S. There is much more than 60 walls.

Remember, a little to the right. Also, you're rockets should still only be used on the yellow walls as the grey ones will break from two shots...

ALL of the hard walls. ALL of the bombs. If it is a slipt wall with two bombs, skip one of them. Always stay a tad right of the middle, and shot your rockets to only destroy yellow walls before you get to them... Try to traval as far as possible, but remember, 4 bombs and the hard walls are the only things worth it.

Destroy the designated number of targets within 120 SECONDS. Objective: Destroy 16 targets Gold Rank : ~80 seconds Silver Rank : ~90 seconds Bronze Rank : ~120 seconds Overview: This exercise is suppose to test you up against two types of combat extremes. Faster flying types, where accuracy is more more important and slower more defensive targets. This trainer sets you against both types.

The enemies will spew out in sets of 4. Two flying and two sliding. First things first, destroy the two flying enemies. Use your sniper rifle at mid range. Keep in mind, I'm using that Narrow and Deep FCS for the quicker lock time, as those flying bastards will probably float around your fire if you are too far away. Now once they are out of the way, use your grenade launcher to kill each of the other MTs in one shot each. You should not miss! Through out the training, make sure you use your EO's for a wave or two... you might kill a grounder without while going for the flyers!

Also, I would make use of that EO on your back to kill a few of them. This shouldn't be any much harder... your EO's actually kill all of the flyiers pretty quickly.

But it is still an easy enough mission to Gold rank. The enemies are tricky if you don't know what you are doing, I suggest you take this mission the way I did it for a little bit a Armored Core history... The MTs jump, a lot... but what happens when something jumps high? It lands hard... This is the best time to hit them. This works VS AC's; AI or human as well.

It has a 10,000 point pay off, that's 2/3 of the points needed for a gold. Now while fighting him, try to use up only the laser cannon and EO's, and blade him while close. Now once he is easily out of the way, just pick off those jumps when ever they land in your lock box. I have the laser blade on because things like to always land in front of me... If you feel better with a second arm weapon, by all means, do it up. I chose to up a narrow and deep FCS to not get flustered with too many targets in a lock box.

Keep turning until you hear a grinding noise, then confirm the guns location with you RADAR and then face it. Now, it will stop, make a noise, then fire a linear rifle shot... Any ways, once the gun is moving you should boost parallel to it...

Remember that all this I'm telling you how to do happens REALLY fast... That's also why something will simiply just hit the ground in front of you if you are falling...

Now, you should all ready know how to dodge the ones that are on top of each other, they are pretty much the same as in the first trainer... and believe me, you want these. But the other ones... you can't really see both of them... so when dodging them, do the same thing as I drew out in the first trainer, only with two big differences. ______________________________ | % = Gun | | | _ | |\ | \ |% \ | \ | \ | That is the direction you should start boosting, but you may want to do it facing the corner...

Four guns will come out... either one on top of the other on two walls, or like this on one wall. -----------------------------%--------------%---------------------- --------------%--------------%------------------------------------- They also shot time for each time they roll their asses out. All though I really can't give you a good way to dodge the first type I mentioned on the twos walls... I can tell you that if you don't change direction twice, REALLY quick, you'll probably get hit. If you know you're going to get hit when it forms like this, it may be a good idea to at least dodge one wall... 2 hits is better than 4... and remember, there are two shots. Now if you are lucky (look at my score, I was very lucky), you'll get them all on one wall. This is waht you want, and here is what you do: <-- <-- <-- <-- / \ * <-- Cannon Fire should be here / \ / \ \ \(Instand you SEE the projectile) \ / X / (Strafe Boosting) / --> --> --> --> --> --> --> -->(Moment you here the noise) When you get to the X, you'll want to do another loop, if you don't do a big loop in the first place, simlpy do the same thing again, but you have to always remember the second shoot!

Any ways, it's pretty much the same as before, as long as you don't get hit by those guns.

Yea, I guess the breifing didn't mention that TITAN like missiles would be constantly launched at you... Well, this isn't hard to deal with, as they are slow and can be countered in many ways... pop open decoys whenever your about to get hit and use your extensions in the same manner. Put up your shield and NEVER boost if you don't need to. Also, you can lay out decoys in circles around the middle, this will make any missile head right to them.

First off, go to the "Playing ground" and do your usual circling, all the way avoiding missiles. Now hopefully, you didn't have to use much of your anti-missile extensions or decoys... Any ways, about the time the combs have fell where it is nearly point- less to try and dodge missiles on... take to one of the sides of the arena. Once you are here... ________________________________ / X X \ / \ / \ / \|/\|/ \ / / \/ \ \ This is a top view of the ledge... the X's are where to put a decoy and I think you can tell where the AC is... When a decoy gets hits, put a new one out... if one has been sitting there for a while, then replace it. Once you are here for over 3 minutes, you pretty much beat the trainer... so just milk it there as long as possible.

If you stay behind him, his bazooka won't do jack... When he uses his grenade launcher, he'll have to duck... use this to your advantage and get even more behing him.

First off, the AC now can turn better as well as fly... which isn't good... Any ways, try to stay behind him as much as possible... and if he starts backing off to get you in his lock box (Yes, notice you can't out turn someone if you aren't close... ), do the same and keep your distance... this will make dodging his grenades easier. Now to dodge his grenades, make sure you are boosting in one direction, then switch really quick to another direction. See, this would be extremely easy, but the match won't follow one flow... so you'll have to keep adjusting.

If you aren't good at it, or never done it before, I don't think any word of advice would help... (Don't attempt this unless you MATCH my personal rank for the first two trainers in this block) Any ways, always stay to his left, you would rather get hit by his bazooka than his plasma... trust me... Another thing, when he flies, he will still shoot at you, so use his shadow to judge where he is facing. The good part about this trainer, is that you get a 40% leway.

First thing you must realize, he can kill you, and you can't kill him. Any ways, you should first start the match by heading left behind the wall, and try to milk in a bonus, but once that first wall gets destroyed, you'll want to try your best in dodging him with all those walls in the way. Now, if I'm not mistaken, he does drop his left arm gun after a while. Use he does this, his killing power is seriously lowered. You'll want to hind now, as his machine gun will take a while to break down a barrier. Other than dodging, you can make him run out of ammo by hiding, as he'll shoot with that. It only has 20 double shots, so good luck... this takes more luck and skill, than it does with a game plan...

You don't want to get hit by a plasma shot, rather a missile. Now there are two ways to do this, the right way and the cheap way. Too bad this FAQ only covers the right way... (Do not mail me any cheap ways to do this or the 4 following trainers). Any ways, stay on the outside and keep circling the middle... Now while you are doing this, make sure your shield and extentions are up. While you are going around, keep popping out decoys as well. Also, when circling the outside, boost/hop. This will make a large amount of the plamsa shots to ground out. If you really can't dodge, cancel, or destroy the few missiles coming your way, I don't know how you opened up this trainer in the first place.

But here is how you get the Gold! You can get about 75% and 4 bonus to get it, so you really can't screw around... So what is the best thing to do? Go for the bonus, they will help you greatly... When you are dodging, make sure you know where the missiles are coming from so you can face them, just look for fast moving purple dots on your radar. I didn't have trouble with this, but you pretty much need bonuses to beat this... this in sense, is just a cheap missile dodging test.

The amount of time you need to get a gold is about two and a half minutes... and there is no type of bonus. 2. The AC doesn't hold back... he's armed and you can't kill him.

Any ways, before you start, take a JIREN if you plan on crushing the gold rank and don't think you'll be able to save energy for that long. Now to actually evade him, you circle around him, naturally... Now here is the difference between this AC and the rest: He has a back booster that will shot him backwards... When you are cornering around the steps, and he boosts back, do not be afraid to edge the steps higher up. But you have to get the feel of how big your AC is. Also, make sure you are aware of those blocks in the air. Also, I found it easier to not pay attention to where he is, rather focus on just circling the room at high speeds. Remember, you get three hits and you do not actually have to last that long.

If you are too far, it could just go another way. Also, if you fly too much, it will fly too, even out of bounds... that isn't good if you are trying to stay up with him.

As I said in the overview, the target will move faster, and move out of range more often. Here is how I did it: If he's following you, just back off, FACING HIM. If he starts moving away, DO NOT CHASE STRAIT FOR HIM. This will more than not, cause him to just run right into you... you'll want to fly towards him, so you can change direction a little better. Now, if you are flying, chances are he will be going higher as well. Once he is high, drop back down... rememeber, his beeping counter works on the Y axis too. Now how to tell when he comes back down? Look at your radar, when the dot is turning red, that is when you should back off... generally in the direction farther away from a wall. Now, if you are a VERY alert person, which you should be in the first place, you'll never need to touch the ground... once he flies up, try to remain up there as long as possible... if you run low on energy, use the JIREN... if not, revert to using the underneath strat.

Read the 3 before this. 2. Have all at least 3 fingers on each hand (2 thumbs), and a chin. 3. The lights are off and you have no other distactions. It helps if you consume some liquer, Wild Turkey was my choice for tonight. Ok, here are the things you really need to worry about now... if you don't have these areas covered, I suggest you gold rank all the exercises in brackets. 1. You must look at the target at all times (Lock-On) 2. You must know how to boost in all directions, completely under- standing also how to fly (All move trainers, except Dex) 3. You need to learn how to dodge constant attacks (Evade) 4. You need to be able to react to beeping noises (Spacing) If you can't do all of those mentioned, don't even bother... when I say do, I mean at least come close to my projected score... any ways... You'll need to do the same thing as in the second part of this trainer... but instead of just paying attention to the pod, you also need to avoid it's fire not to get held up. Again, I'm done with the basics... you can read the three before this. But one thing you really should get used to is staying underneath him for a while... because with the chance of you getting hit with grenades and overheating... you'll probably need to regain from energy even with 3 JIREN reloads. Now another thing... and sorry it's not actually help once more... This exercise takes luck or skill. Skill if you have the reflexes to dodge and keep the distance, or luck, if it doesn't just fling itself too close or too far... So in other words, if you fail, just try again. It you may of gotten unlucky. You need to pay attention to your radar, so you'll know when he is above you or when he is moving away. Two more things. Good luck lasting a minute and a half, if I was at your house right now, trying to beat this mission, looking at this FAQ, and you didn't know I wrote it... I would say "Good ****ing luck, this ***-**** didn't say anything good..." So in conclusion, I also hate this mission... I beat it once...

Now the way I dodge basic missiles... is the same way I told you in evade... <-- \ \ \ \ / / (Strafe Boosting) / --> --> --> --> --> --> --> --> By boosting to the side, you'll get the missile to follow you in that direction, after wards, when you go in the air and turn, they can't turn fast enough to react... But these missiles will come very close to hitting you, but they won't if you keep this up. and remember to try to do it at the last second, as their is a second missiles right behing it. This is what you have to do for each and every one of these five missile trainers. Oh, and don't forget to get in the back of the room...

Only now, they come out faster (more often). Feel free to pop out extra decoys... and after you dodge a missle come strait down and start again, when you come down, you'll most likely screw up another flight pattern of a missile that's on its way. But remember, there is little on to how I can help you here... It's mostly skill and quick reflexes.

There are three things different with this exercise. 1. There are blocks in the way. They really don't do anything but block missiles a couple times if you are in the back of the room like I told you to be. 2. Missiles can come from any turret, not like the others where if it came from one side, the one with it came from the opposite. 3. All turrets CAN shoot off all at once... screwing up here can instantly ruin your score. This is the time you really need decoys... Not that they are any harder to dodge, but just in case. You're extensions will run out very quickly, make sure you drop them. Otherwise, this mission shouldn't be too much harder than the others.

Fly up real high, actually touching the ceiling... the missiles will not even reach you. 2. Since you can't stay in the air forever, ground boost in circles, sort of like the opposite way I said to dodge missiles in the first exercise of the evade and missile evade. 3. Look at them and just dodge them like any other missile, only you'll have to fly a little higher. This is the one you'll need to use during the fifth exercise, because the 1st one will leave you dry of energy, and the second will leave you open.

Use a decoy in front of each launch, you'll have enough for each one in this exercise. 2. If you don't have decoys, I would do the same as regular missiles, only you'll have to do it a tad bit sharper to make both missiles curve the way they won't hit you.

With the SUIGETSU on, you'll not only have a very high chance of knocking a missile out of the air, but it will also disarm a multi missile before it splits. 2. Now, this is the fun to do, jump inside the missiles... to do this, boost forward then pop up where the single missile is before it explodes... this will make them ark around you and miss you completely... Remember to adjust for the higher ones, and also boost back to do it again.

There is only one good way to dodge these, as they come out different and in odd clumps... a decoy. Make sure you get good at using them.

Verts: Fly and look up, then treat them like any other missile. 2. Dual: Treat them the same as well, only after you lead them a bit more. 3. Multi: Jump through them, outlined in the 3rd trainer 4. Micro: This is what your decoys are for. Again, you should be able to stay alive for the time you need, you do have 12 hits.

So with your long ranged lock-box, you'll need to pan the room, by skimming by doors. Now, there can only be two MTs out at once. Once they are out on the field, they move fast, this is when you EO's will come in handy... not just for killing power, but it will help track them down. Also, when you are panning the doors (there are two next to each corner), if you see a MT, KILL IT RIGHT THEN AND THERE. Hey, it isn't anything if it can't move.

Using both your left arm plasma cannon and your sniper rifle. They should only take one of each max. Use JIREN to stay up in the air for a while. After those four are gone, drop your JIREN and your ETTIN... Now attack all the pods, there should be 8 of them. Then the tanks, just like in the two previous exercises. This isn't hard, but you still need to move very quickly for it to count. If you are having trouble, you can go overweight with that left arm weapon, but that will make the beginning slower... the reason you'll want to go overweight is to use an EO core instead of nothing for the pods. If you don't make the cut, try hitting tanks from a distance with your rocks, it will save you a load of time.

But the AC at the end uses the same back weapon I have, as with two high power machine guns. You'll have to play some good peek-a-boo at the end. Oh, and I also forgot, in my game, if the AC wasn't shooting at me, he also didn't take any damage... yes it was glitchly... I took him down with just the plasma cannon this time, but other times he wasn't even sparking from anything...

What you do is, pop up your exceed orbits, and shot with both your back weapon and left arm, extremely quick. Don't worry about him, he'll die first. Also, don't forget to keep pounding on JIREN.

You need about 3-5 shots, depending if you miss once and the amount of Eo's you hit him with. If you crap it up, just try it again, 15 seconds isn't too hard to perfect now...

Pop up your exceed orbits and keep on firing your back cannon. You'll get a big bulk of points for doing the mission fast, but if you finsih under 20 seconds, you'll alway get over about 10,000. Any ways, the AC isn't as tough as the ones before... and as you can see, didn't last too long either. Kill him like the others.

Any ways, the first part you will be just using the left arm sniper rifle. All the pods will take one hit, while the turrets will take two. Don't bother using anything else. At the end of the level, the pods will enter from the sky, good idea to fly, and use the JIREN to stay up there the whole time. Once you get the OK to go on, I would drop the sniper rifle... it will make you lock box smaller for the AC fight. Now during the AC fight, just use the energy shotgun and your exceed orbit, this will kill him quicker than he will kill you... make sure you are moving as well.

For the the level, it's the same thing as before. For the AC fight, keep the heat on him, better than you've ever did. When he pops out an ECM, jump into it... he doesn't but them often, but they can mess you up.

The pods will move more, and the grenade launcher turrets take three hits to kill. Other wise, you'll have to really track down the AC at the end, he likes to jump around a lot.

Now for the AC, you'll have to kill it very quickly. He will fly a lot for being a quad, but he will touch ground... and that's when you pump him full of all your lead. If you are having trouble, construct an AC that can move fast... and use weapons to take out: Small weak flying enemies Small stationary enemies An AC Then make sure you have the right FCS for the job.

Any ways, just don't charge and it shouldn't be too bad. Now, the part that makes this mission hard... the appearance of a remade Nineball... Now when I say remade, I mean instead of a pulse rifle with a three round burst, he has a Linear Rifle with a three round burst. Not to mention a grenade launcher... Now, not only will 9 annoy the hell out of you with his sky dancing sending out volleys of rounds that damaging, stun, and block your view... but he'll keep doing and never stop. I found the best way to take him out is with that back weapon I have equipped. Only about 4 shots, including EO's and random machine gun bullets. But you need to know when to hit him... I wouldn't suggest you hit him in the air... he is quite a good dodger this time around. You'll want to peg him when he is on the ground; just touching the ground is the best time and place. Also, when he is flying toward you, this is also a good time to try and hurt him. If you finish under 3 minutes and have more than half your AP left, you will surely gold rank this mission. If you can't get that, just try again... trust me, Nineball will let you get a hit or two if you pay attention. And don't drop your Machine Gun... it makes your lock box bigger. ***The AC in the end of this trainer cannot be made in which a way you can fire off grenades without kneeling or having an endless supply of burst Linear Rifle shells.*** Personal Rank: 19173PTS (02'44'02/ 47% AP) [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] ~Ending... If you have a question, feel free to ask me about it on the message board, I'm sure to be there (When new Armored Core games are released in the -->States<--, contact me somehow on the most recent board of it). You may also Instant message me at IWBDK on aim. My mail is also iwbdk@hotmail.com Oh yeah, Please rate :) Because of recent mails from other guides on Armored Core, I'm just saying this: Don't mail me about the second burst missile, or anything to do with PLUS/OP-I... I had too many mails that go like: "why can genobee fly and use the grenade rifles on his shoulders and we cant? is there something that i just hav'nt found?" "I am trying to get 100 percent iam on 87 percent right now and iam trying to figure out is there a way to fly or walk with weapons were you have to kneel down. i read your whole walk through on it. i couldn't find anything on. i just wanted to know is it possible" No, No, No, No, and No. Simple? Good, now use a quad or a tank. ~Credits... Thanks to the message board for some info. And thanks to CjayC for a great site! ~Copyright... No one can use this FAQ with out my permission.
