INTRODUCTION
===============================================================================
On this guide, I'll be covering how to attain 100% completion in the game,
through Mission Mode. This means all secret weapons and 100% of Career Rating.
First, to unlock Mission Mode, you have to clear at least one mission on Story
Mode. After that, that mission will become available in Mission Mode. The
missions are scattered through 8 chapters, each chapter having between 2 and 5
missions.
There are 7 Story Mode chapters and 1 Bonus Chapter. The Bonus Chapter features
5 special missions unlocked through various tasks.
===============================================================================
MISSION MODE GUIDE [MS1]
===============================================================================
On Mission Mode, you replay through already completed missions. You can select
the weapons before starting, and you only need to play that mission, not the
whole chapter. When the mission is over, the word COMPLETED! will appear on
the screen and you'll see your ratings on that mission. These ratings reflect
various tasks that can be done inside that mission, divided into 7 items.
1) Stealth Kills: killing enemies without being seen.
2) Knife Kills: killing enemies by knifing them in the gut.
3) Dart Kills: killing enemies using the special darts from the sniper rifle.
4) Survival: if you finish the stage without retrying.
5) Environment Kills: killing enemies using the environment (drum cans, etc)
6) Headshots: killing enemies by headshots. Only on Hard Mode.
First, a few notes on each aspect:
1) Stealth Kills
Stealth Kills are kills where you remain undetected by the enemy. If the enemy
alerts other enemies, their kills also won't count as stealth, because they
were alerted of your presence. On a nutshell, kills only count as stealth if
the enemy doesn't see you, neither he's alerted of your presence by other
enemies.
There are enemies that can't be killed this way - these are the enemies that
will be already alerted and know where you are, more knows as "enemies that
appear screaming out of nowhere".
2) Knife Kills
Walk over to someone and knife them in the gut with the Knife weapon. Since the
knife is a 1-hit kill, it's one less thing to bother you. However, some special
enemies can't be killed with a knife. Just to mention a few: the flamethrower
guy, the EMP armor enemies and most bosses. And don't even try to knife kill
someone with a shotgun. Just don't.
3) Dart Kills
Your sniper rifle has three kinds of darts: Explosive (EXP), X34 Gas (X34) and
EDT. Note that the kill has to be caused directly by the dart, or it won't
count. If you shoot an explosive dart on a drum can and it explodes, it won't
count as a Dark Kill, but as an Environment Kill.
Now, a few notes on each dart.
- EXP: explosive dart. You can shoot it in the middle of enemies and take them
all down with one explosion. The explosion has a pretty good range, so don't
think the puny explosion is just what appears onscreen - it's a little more
wide than that.
- X34: X34 gas dart. You can also shoot it in the middle of enemies to take
more than one down. Note that killing any enemy with this dart also counts as a
Stealth Kill, because it doesn't alert other enemies nearby. X34 darts don't
work on enemies with masks (most enemies on Chapter 4), since it's a gas.
- EDT: taser dart. This dart can only hit one target at a time. It also counts
as a Stealth Kill, the same as X34.
None of these darts work on the flamethrower guys and EMP armor guys. The EDT
can nullify an EMP armor, but a subsequent shot of any kind of dart won't kill
that enemy.
4) Survival
Finishing a stage without retrying. If you die/fail a mission by any means,
you can choose Restart on the pause menu to restart the level. It won't affect
your Survival score.
5) Environment Kills
You have to kill the enemy indirectly - by shooting an object or activating a
trap so the enemy dies because of it.
Examples include: shooting things that explode - like tripwire mines and drum
cans, activating traps - like the ones on Chapter 3, shooting something nearby
the enemy - like the vases on Bangkok Part 2, or killing them with another
background object - like pressing the button on the beginning of level 3-2.
6) Headshots
These only count if you play on Hard difficulty. Just shoot the enemy on the
head portion. There are two kinds of enemies where headshots don't work: the
flamethrower guys and the enemies with helmets.
*Rant: This is pretty weird - you can't kill enemies with helmets even with a
very strong weapon (like the .50), because the protection of their helmets is
seemingly infinite, whereas the protection from their Flak Jackets isn't.
NOTE: Environment kills also count as Stealth Kills if your opponent didn't see
you yet. The same is true for Headshots - they also count as Stealth Kills.
Most of the time, I'll only give a general advice of what to do to attain that
particular rank. I'll try to leave spoilers out of this as much as possible.
===============================================================================
EPISODE 1 [EP1]
===============================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mission 1-1
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stealth Kills: 05
Knife Kills: 10
Dart Kills: 25
Survival: YES
Environment Kills: 05
Head Shots: 22
Stealth Kills
-------------------
1) Either headshot the enemy when he inspects the body or wait for him to come
near the fence and kill him from behind.
2) You can see the commander from your starting position, he's up there on the
tower. Kill him with a dart.
3 and 4) To the right of where you start, shoot the drum can near the fence to
open a passage. Now, run through it and duck quickly behind the boxes. Two
enemies will come to look around - just wait until they go behind the big boxes
and go for the kill.
5) After shooting the gate open, equip your Thermal Googles and descend the
ladder. Don't let the enemy on the other side of the tower see you. He'll say
"The bastard is down here somewhere!". Just hide and wait until he stops. He'll
fire his weapon, but he's not seeing you. Circle the tower clockwise and
kill him when he's firing, so he won't see you.
Addendum: For an example of all Stealth Kills, take a look at this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DE2W5loH48
Dart Kills
------------------
You have to alert the enemies, because if you use stealth, there won't be
enough enemies to shoot with darts. To call a lot of enemies right on the
beginning, alert the commander on the tower.
Environment Kills
-------------------
There are two drum cans after the first corridor, and two more drum cans when
you have to protect Lian. Make sure to kill more than one enemy with the
explosion if possible.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mission 1-2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stealth Kills: 02
Knife Kills: 17
Dart Kills: 20
Survival: YES
Environment Kills: 02
Head Shots: 20
Stealth Kills
----------------
When you enter the computer room, there are two guards. Try to kill them with
darts, because they will notice if you use a silenced gun.
Enviroment Kills
-----------------
One of these is activated if you shoot the oil truck while an enemy is nearby.
Do it right when you start, since there's an enemy near it (the one on the
turret).
The second one is done after you use the second zip line. An enemy will come
investigate. Hide behind the wall and the enemy will start to climb down the
ladder. When he does so, get near him and use melee to knock him out of the
ladder.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mission 1-3
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stealth Kills: 04
Knife Kills: 10
Dart Kills: 10
Survival: YES
Environment Kills: 02
Head Shots: 08
Stealth Kills
-------------------
1 and 2) See Environment Kills below.
3 and 4) After the 2nd kill, there'll be two guards looking at the TV. Kill the
one near the table first, then the other one near the TV.
Note: If you activate the remote control (on the table), one of the guards will
get closer to the TV, so you can kill both with a X34 dart. Also, if you don't
alert any of the guards, the guard near the elevator will be drinking water,
instead of patrolling the corridor.
Environment Kills
-------------------
1) Right on the beginning, there's a guy looking at the switchboard. Just
activate the red button and electrocute him.
2) After you come out of the ventilation duct, there'll be a guy swearing on a
drink machine. Wait until he goes over to the pinball machine and melee him
from behind. The weapon icon will automatically change to "MELEE" when you're
in the right range.
Headshots/Dart Kills
---------------------
Alert the enemies of your presence or only 4 of them will appear.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mission 1-4
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stealth Kills: 01
Knife Kills: 07
Dart Kills: 15
Survival: YES
Environment Kills: 05
Head Shots: 14
Stealth Kills
----------------
After you get in the building and descend the stairs, four guards will be
looking around for you. Kill one of them before they see you.
Alternatively, headshot the guy that is aiming the gun at the engineer, at the
end of the stage.
Environment Kills
------------------
You get one automatically when the tubes explode at the beginning (if you're
lucky, you'll get two). After you get out of this first building, and the
soldiers are shooting on the other passageway, equip the IR googles and look
at the pipes. They'll turn yellow from time to time, shoot them to make them
explode.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mission 1-5
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stealth Kills: 04
Knife Kills: 06
Dart Kills: 10
Survival: YES
Environment Kills: 02
Head Shots: 10
Note: If you answer the radio at the beginning, the guards won't come looking
for you.
Stealth Kills
----------------
1 and 2) This one can be a little hard to explain, so I've made this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gud5RpRr1F4
3 and 4) When you get to the server room, hide and wait until the guys finish
talking to each other. Then, shoot them with darts (they notice if you shoot
with silenced guns).
===============================================================================
EPISODE 2 [EP2]
===============================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mission 2-1
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stealth Kills: 05
Knife Kills: 15
Dart Kills: 25
Survival: YES
Environment Kills: 04
Head Shots: 28
Stealth Kills
-------------------
1,2 and 3) There are three enemies patrolling the external area of the plane.
4 and 5) After finding the three drives, there will be three enemies inside the
plane. Wait until one of them comes out and kill him where the others can't see
him. To kill the enemy patroling the cargo door, fire an EDT or X34 dart. The
other enemy will most likely be alerted, but you only need 5 Stealth Kills.
Dart Kills
--------------------
Alert the enemies on the beginning, so more of them will come. Every time you
find a drive, more enemies will come.
Environment Kills
--------------------
Shoot the drum cans only when you're on the turret at the end, since more
enemies will come at the same time.
Headshots
--------------------
You have to alert the enemies to get the necessary headshots.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mission 2-2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stealth Kills: 03

Dart Kills: 20
Survival: YES
Environment Kills: 07
Head Shots: 15
Stealth Kills
-----------------
1 and 2) Look through the first door with the IR googles, and wait until the
first enemy stops. Kill both enemies with EDT darts.
3) After you fight on the outside and reenter the building, descend the stairs
and there'll be an enemy adjusting a proximity mine.
Environment Kills
------------------
1) On the first room, there is an enemy adjusting a proximity mine. Either
shoot the mine or the valve above (use IR googles to find it).
There's lots of proximity mines and steam valves on this stage. On the outside
area, there are two mines - which you can use to kill more than one enemy at
the same time.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mission 2-3
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stealth Kills: N/A
Knife Kills: 10
Dart Kills: 20
Survival: YES
Environment Kills: 06
Head Shots: 20
Secret: Turn off the pipes
-----------------------------
After you save Kreisler, investigate the body on the bottom part for a
Maintenance Key. After the elevator part, use it on the first room to the
right, so you can turn off the annoying flaming pipes.
Environment Kills
-----------------
Turn the valves off, then attract the enemies towards them, and turn them on
again. You may get shot, but it's the better way to do this.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mission 2-4
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stealth Kills: N/A
Knife Kills: 10
Dart Kills: 20
Survival: YES
Environment Kills: 02
Head Shots: 23

Dart Kills: 30
Survival: YES
Environment Kills: 02
Head Shots: 22
Environment Kills
-------------------
1) Right behind your starting point, there's a guard up on the balcony. Shoot
the fuel tank to blow everything up.
2) On the street where Addison is being held hostage, there's a scooter
(use ESDU to see where to shoot). Attract some enemies towards the wall right
in front of the scooter and shoot it.
Stealth Kills
-------------------
1) Headshot the enemy on the balcony.
2 and 3) Climb to the roof of the house in front of your starting point, then
snipe everyone available.
4) Down the street, wait for an enemy to appear and hide behind the boxes.
5 and 6) On the second street, headshot the guy on the balcony. Hide behind
something and wait for the other enemy to come and investigate.
7) Headshot the guy guarding Addison.
More: After you get back to the beginning and climb the balcony, after the duct
there will be an enemy talking on the radio.

Mission 4-1
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stealth Kills: 04
Knife Kills: 10
Dart Kills: 20
Survival: YES
Environment Kills: 03
Head Shots: 16
Stealth Kills
-------------------
1) Right on the beginning.
2) One of the guards is patrolling the area right ahead. The other one will
most likely see you. You can kill the other guard with stealth too, but it's
pretty hard. He'll see you from VERY far and will start shooting as soon as he
does it. However, you can hide behind the corner near Janzen and shoot the
first guy when he is out of the other guard's vision.
3 and 4) After you crawl out of the vent, there'll be two guards. Use EDT or a
silenced gun, because one of them is wearing a mask.
Secret?
-------------------
Apparently, the guy on the beginning will never kill Janzen. If you sneak past
him, he'll notice and shoot you.
DU Containers
-------------------
Use ESDU to find the containers. They're yellow-colored.
1) In the first area where the two guards are patrolling, to the right.
2, 3 and 4) After the duct, there will be a guard and a inspector working on
three containers. Shoot any of these containers and they all blow up.
5) Right on the end, inside the house where the radio is, it's on top of a box
to the right of the radio.
Dart Kills
-------------------
Save your EXP and EDT darts for the end, because there's a lot of soldiers
using gas masks, and they aren't affected by the X34 darts.
Environment Kills
-------------------
Shoot the DU containers when there are soldiers nearby.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mission 4-2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stealth Kills: 12
Knife Kills: 10
Dart Kills: 30
Survival: YES
Environment Kills: 05
Head Shots: 30
Stealth Kills
-------------------
1) Right after killing the first two guys, go to where the DU container is and
wait for an enemy to come, then kill him from behind. Have Janzen hide right on
the beginning.
2) Go ahead and there'll be a guard with his back turned to you.
3 and 4) After the floor collapses, tell Janzen to hide and kill the two
enemies with X34 or EXP darts. Make sure to kill both at once.
5) Right after you get out of the duct, there's an enemy behind the wall to the
north.
6 and 7) The enemy behind the boarded door. Use a dart. The other enemy will
come to investigate, use a dart too.
8 and 9) After you get down, there are two more enemies patrolling right
ahead.
10) After these two enemies, there will be two more enemies trying to crawl out
of the duct. Kill them before they emerge.
11) After the second duct, there are two enemies you can kill.
12) After these two enemies, and after the boarded door, there will be an
enemy wondering how to get across the gap.
13,14 and 15) Near the UN tent, there are three enemies patrolling. It's pretty
hard to kill all three without being noticed, but there's more than one way
around it, and you only need 12 kills.
DU Containers
-------------------
Use ESDU to find them. They're yellow-colored.
1) On the floor, where the first two enemies were.
2) Right in front of where you need to climb up to the other floor.
3) After you climb up, and after the sluice, to the right.
4) After getting out of the second duct, right in the intersection.
5) After lifting the board so you and Janzen cross the gap, it's inside the
U.N. tent.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mission 4-3
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stealth Kills: 02
Knife Kills: 10
Dart Kills: 30
Survival: YES
Environment Kills: 05
Head Shots: 30
Stealth Kills
----------------
After you descend the stairs, there are 3 enemies patrolling the large area
ahead.
DU Containers
----------------
Use ESDU to find them. They're yellow-colored.
1) Right on the beginning, go to the left and look behind the bars, there's a
DU container there.
2) In the first large area, to the left of the stairs to the second floor.
3) On the second large area (on the outside), from the door, search to the
right, behind the boxes.
4) In the middle of this area, near the door on the middle.
5) In the end of the area, to the left of the door in the end, behind the box.
Secret
-----------------
If you don't break the plank on the passageway, you can get an AU300 H-BAR by
crossing it and opening the box.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mission 4-4
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stealth Kills: N/A
Knife Kills: 05
Dart Kills: 09
Survival: YES
Environment Kills: 02
Head Shots: 08
Environment Kills
-----------------------
Right on the beginning, there is a bullet behind the two enemies (use ESDU to
find it). Just shoot it when both enemies are shooting at you. This is just one
of the ways to approach this - there are more of these shells nearby.
===============================================================================
EPISODE 5 [EP5]
===============================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mission 5-1
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stealth Kills: 08
Knife Kills: 10
Dart Kills: 25
Survival: YES
Environment Kills: 02
Head Shots: 24
Stealth Kills
-------------------
Lots of enemies here, this should be easy if you don't alert anyone. On the
frontyard, kill the first enemy, wait for the other to come look, and kill him.
Shoot the light (yes, it's up there) and enter the mansion through the front
doors. Be careful of the tripwire mine on the way. Also, after this first mine,
there'll be a metal detector, shoot the box on the other side to turn it off.
Knife Kills
-------------------
You can do this with Stealth Kills...
Dart Kills
-------------------
You have to alert the enemies, or there won't be enough of them to total 25
kills.
Head Shots
-------------------
Same as Dart Kills.
Secret: Alternative Ending
---------------------------
If you complete the level without being seen by anyone, the prostitute won't be
killed in the end. Be careful when you come back to the main hall after getting
the keycard, because an enemy that wasn't there before will pop out behind a
column. Use your IR googles to locate him as fast as possible.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mission 5-2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stealth Kills: 07
Knife Kills: 15
Dart Kills: 25
Survival: YES
Environment Kills: 02
Head Shots: 15
Stealth Kills
-----------------------
Just like the level before this one, there are a lot of options, just don't
alert anyone. Note that you have kill the first two guys with X34 or EDT,
because one of them will be alerted if you use another weapon, even if it's
silenced.
Dart Kills
-----------------------
Alert people so the necessary 25 grunts come.
Head Shots
-----------------------
Same as Dart Kills, but after Red Section invades the casino, don't bother with
them. They all have helmets.
Secret: Alternative Ending
---------------------------
When Red Section invades the casino, there are two different outcomes:
1) Kill all enemies and open the door.
2) Open the door without killing all enemies.
===============================================================================
EPISODE 6 [EP6]
===============================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mission 6-1
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stealth Kills: N/A
Knife Kills: 10
Dart Kills: 25
Survival: YES
Environment Kills: 6
Head Shots: 15
Knife Kills
-------------------
Don't swing your knife on the guys with the shotguns, you'll definitely regret
it.
Environment Kills
-------------------
1,2 and 3) When you get to where the last two snipers are, kill all enemies and
try to go to the pile of boxes. Three enemies will appear up there. Put your
IR googles, wait for all three enemies to stop, then fire on the drum can.
4,5 and 6) Now... have fun. The retarded kind of fun. What you have to do is
push the enemies off the edges of the suspended walkway. This is gonna be bad.
You can do anything to push them off the edges, BUT it only counts as an
Environment Kill if they weren't already dead when they fell. So, I suggest you
get near them (equip the Melee "weapon" for best results) and attack them from
the front. This will knock them to the ground. Now, while the enemy is getting
up, Melee him one more time (align you and himself with the edges) to kick him
to his death. You have to push the enemy off with the second Melee attack,
because the third Melee attack will kill the enemy.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mission 6-2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stealth Kills: 02
Knife Kills: 10
Dart Kills: 20
Survival: YES
Environment Kills: 02
Head Shots: 12
Stealth Kills
----------------------
Shouldn't be hard, there are lots of options here. The first enemy has a Flak
Jacket, so aim for the head.
Environment Kills
----------------------
Equip the ESDU googles. Kill the first enemy, and alert the other two. Wait
until they pass near the tripwire mines and shoot. There are two mines, so you
can use the other one if you miss on the first.
Head Shots
----------------------
Lots of guys with helmets here. Don't bother with them.

Dart Kills: 21
Survival: YES
Environment Kills: 04
Head Shots: 22
Stealth Kills
-----------------
1,2 and 3) After you enter the truck, don't open the doors. Come back the
way you came (the opening on the roof) and use IR googles to see where the
three guards are. Proceed as you wish then.
4) After you climb the ladder, run and hide behind one of the boxes. An enemy
will come in two seconds.
5) Open the door SLOWLY (duck and then open the door) and kill the enemy in
the corridor.
Environment Kills
-------------------
After the giant fans, there is a switch that activates the power. Since the
wire is cut, it will swing around wildly and electrocute anyone that comes
near. So, what you have to do is to lure some enemies over to this wire. You'll
have to turn it on again, because the power will be cut off from time to time.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mission 7-2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stealth Kills: 05
Knife Kills:10
Dart Kills: 25
Survival: YES
Environment Kills: 02
Head Shots: 25
Stealth Kills
----------------
1, 2 and 3) Right in the first room. Use the knife or EDT darts.
4 and 5) On the corridors ahead, there are two enemies patrolling. Try to
dispose of them before one sees that the other died.
Environment Kills
-------------------
On the other side of the passageway, there are two canisters that can be blown
up. Since two enemies will come out of that door, you'll have the two kills.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mission 7-3
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stealth Kills: 03
Knife Kills: 06
Dart Kills: 17

Environment Kills: N/A
Head Shots: 17
Stealth Kills
------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stealth Kills: N/A
Knife Kills: 05
Dart Kills: 10
Survival: YES
Environment Kills: N/A
Head Shots: 10
Knife Kills
----------------------
This is definitely gonna suck. I suggest you to bid your time and just wait for
the grunts to make it to your side of the tracks. If they aren't showing signs
of crossing the rails, kill them and wait for more grunts to appear.

Finish this mission in less than 3:39 to get the SMAW (Rocket Launcher).
Environment Kills
--------------------
There are two barrels here: one behind the wall, one to the left of the
entrance.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bonus - 4: Birds on a Feather
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bangkok Part 1
Stealth Kills: 02
Knife Kills: 02
Dart Kills: 10
Survival: YES
Environment Kills: 01
Head Shots: 08
Stealth Kills
--------------------------
1 and 2) From where you start shoot the fuse box in front of you (where Logan
is looking at) - use the ESDU googles to find it. One of the thugs will stop on
the side of the fan. Now, go to the left and climb on the ledge. Circle it all
the way to the other side and kill the grunt. Then climb the ledge and kill the
other one.
Note: After you circle the platform, there are two random outcomes. You have
to do different things, depending on what happens.
1 - Both enemies are looking your way. Shoot the fuse box first.
2 - Both enemies are looking the other way. Shoot the grunt near you first.
Here's a video showing how to do it:

Dart Kills
---------------------------
You have to alert the two starting enemies of your presence. If you don't, only
6 thugs will appear on the stage.
Environment Kills
---------------------------
Do the same as the Stealth Kills, but only kill the first grunt. Now, shoot the
fuse box that's near that grunt (use ESDU to find it). The other one will die.
Head Shots
----------------------------
Same as Dart Kills.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bonus - 5: Jimmy Zhou's Army
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bangkok Part 2
Stealth Kills: N/A
Knife Kills: 05
Dart Kills: N/A
Survival: YES
Environment Kills: 02
Head Shots: 25
This is just free-for-all. Everyone is alerted of your presence, so there
aren't Stealth Kills. You lost the rifle, so there aren't Dart Kills.
Environment Kills
-----------------------
When any of the thugs get near a vase, shoot that vase. Some enemies will
actually shoot the vases and kill themselves, oh well.

CAREER RATING [CR1]
===============================================================================
This is a list of the unlockables that come through Career Rating, and a small
review of each of them.
----------------------------
Stealth Combat Specialist
----------------------------
Tek-9 Silenced: silenced submachine-gun (or automatic pistol?).
MDS A4 Silenced: great gun, and it's silenced.
Silenced .44: one of the best weapons in the game. This makes getting Stealth
Kills significantly easier, since it kills unarmored enemies with 1 shot -
regardless of where it hits - and it is silenced.
EPDD: the original taser from Syphon Filter 1,2 and 3. A lot better than the
normal one, you can even use this as a long-range weapon. This will override
your normal taser.
----------------------------
Combat Knife Specialist
----------------------------
SSP 90: great and reliable gun.
Chinese Type 56: a chinese version of an AK-47 rifle.
C11: has a scope and fires really fast. It isn't silenced, but makes very
little noise.
MGL: grenade launcher. Honestly, it sucks. Two bullets, and the weirdest firing
arc of any weapon in the game.
----------------------------
Elite Weapons Expert
----------------------------
Darts x5: starts with 5 darts of each type.
Darts x8: starts with 8 darts of each type.
Darts x10: starts with 10 darts of each type. For those 30 Dart Kill stages.
KemSynth Tower: access this stage on the Bonus episode.
----------------------------
Survival Specialist
----------------------------
Sawed-Off Pistol: Spreads the damage, but it isn't that great.
Increased Health: Every time you die, you come back with more health.
Calico HE: lots of pyromaniacal fun to be had with this weapon. Shoots a bullet
that explodes on contact, and can kill nearby enemies. Has a unique type of
scope.
Desert Express .50: guaranted to kill almost anything with one shot. It has a
scope, like the silenced .44.
-----------------------------
Tactical Combat Specialist
-----------------------------
USAS-12: A great shotgun. Remember this from Syphon Filter 2? It's the gun Gabe
used against the final boss.
Jerico-41: A common pistol.
M82 BFG: Rifle that kills almost everything in one shot.
Jackhammer HE: this is just retarded fun, you will see. Even better than the
Calico HE, this is a shotgun that fires bullets that explode on contact. But,
when I says it explodes, it REALLY explodes. Not good at long range, but you'll
get used to it.
-----------------------------
Combat Sharp Shooter
-----------------------------
Dual Wield: can hold two pistol-type weapons (the [] weapons) at the same time.
This looks like fun, but actually this ability is useless, since you fire both
weapons at the same time. It just doubles the damage of the weapon, and by that
time, you already have better weapons than puny pistols. However, this is
deadly if used in combination with the .44 Silenced or the .50. Once you get
this, you can't turn it off.
M67 Grenade: the common grenade you get everywhere in the game.
Flare Gun: fires a flare that sets the target on fire. Or at least it should do
that. Because of the PS2 version censorship, you only see smoke coming out of
the enemies. This is a one-hit kill, but it takes a second for the enemy to
catch on fire... uh, smoke.
Sana Yemen: a bonus level, access this on the Bonus episode.
