Tips and Hints

• Use the environment to your advantage; explosive barrels can be pushed into enemies and then shot, duke can snipe down platforms to land on enemies, and enemies can be knocked off of ledges. Lasers and Bomb Bots can also damage unsuspecting Viper Troopers.
• Just because you aren't using Ripcord doesn't mean you can't destroy a wall. Look for an explosive barrel in the area and push it over.
• Duke and Scarlett can activate computer terminals with their special weapons from a distance.
• Use a sprint/jump combination to escape vexing situations.
• Quick mission completion times with maximum enemy kills and all dog tags found, guarantees a high score.
• Use Duke's sniper scope to "look before you leap" and avoid oncoming hazards. Also use it to look high and low to find those missing dog tags.
• Scarlett's EMP special weapon can do more besides disable turret guns. Use it to instantly destroy Bomb Bots and to deactivate Viper shields as well.
• The Howler's homing missiles replenish overtime but you can also pick up power-ups to get them back quicker.
• Be sure to grab the Triple Shot item when flying the Howler for maximum range and damage.
• When in the MOBAT, learn to toggle the auto-guns on and off quickly to avoid unnecessary overheating. Never leave the tank completely vulnerable.
• Activate the Nuke item whenever you see it driving the MOBAT for total destruction.
