Cheat Codes/Hints
Hint: Defeating Baby Skedar
To defeat Baby Skedar, run directly up to them. They will not attack you because they usually jump at you from a distance. They may just try to back off slightly before attacking, so you can just hit them with a weapon. This trick also works on the Skedar that use Slayers on the last level.
Hint: Defeating simulants
Simulants do not know how to detonate controlled mines. Switch all your weapons to them and set a group of dark simulants.
Hint: Detonate Remote mines easy
Press A + B to detonate a remote mine without changing the remote mines function.
Hint: Disarm option
Leaving disarm on indefinitely is not always a good idea, as disarming an opponent with a weapon does no damage. If you are low on health or need to take an opponent out quickly, punch them instead.
Hint: Earn cheats easier
Turn on fast movement to make earning cheats easier.
Hint: Easy kills with the Slayer
When you have your opponent in your sights and you cannot turn the fly-by-wire missile around in time, press Z again to self-destruct it.
Hint: Easy knockouts
This trick allows you to easily incapacitate enemies. Sneak up on an enemy undetected, and instead of shooting them and wasting ammunition, pistol-whip or punch them for an easy "kill".
Hint: Exploding elevator
Enable the "All weapons" code. To make the elevator explode in the first three levels, place a couple of timed mines on the doors just before you get in. If timed correctly, you can make them explode immediately after Joanna pushes the elevator button to make it look like a bomb. You can also do this on other levels.
Hint: Farsight at firing range
Use the Farsight at the firing range and aim through the walls. You can blow up chairs and computers in other rooms of the Carrington Institute. You can also shoot the classic 007 weapons in the hallway outside the firing range.
Hint: Fast running
Turn left until your cursor is approximately 30 degrees to the left of where you want to run to. Then, simply hold Analog-stick Forward (Up) and hold C-Right. You will run diagonally, but once you get used to it, you will be able to get to places faster. This is useful for running from friends in multi-player mode and also for meeting target times in single player mode. This can also be reversed. Simply swap the left and right directions.
