All Weapons and Infinite Ammo
Pause the game and highlight the Weapons menu. Now press and hold
RIGHT + L2 + R2 + CIRCLE + SQUARE + X.
Defeating Anton Girdeaux
When playing against Anton Girdeaux, try to always keep a pole
between you and him. Then he will be unable to see you. Hold L1 to
manually aim whatever weapon you want. (However, I do advise
against either of the sniper rifles as they are rather slow.) Then
hold L2 or R2 to peek out from behind the pole. Fire only at his gas
pack on his back. Otherwise it will hit his body armor. You can see
his gas pack from behind him when he turns to fire. Fire at the pack
and let go of L1 and the other shoulder button and press L2 or R2
by themselves to crank your tail away from the flames. Repeat this
about 5 times with .45 or about 10 times with the 9mm.
Defeating Rhoemer
Before turning off the computer grab the gas grenades (you should
do it quick because you are timed) then before you turn off the
computer through a gas grenade behind you in the entrance way that
Rhoemer comes in. As soon as the cinema ends He will instantly die.
No effort or frustrating deaths needed.
Defeating the Chopper
Beating the chopper can be tough unless you know the proper way.
First you will need to learn the choppers two basic attack patterns
and to be smart about evading the its fire. What it does is that it
kinda strafes from side to side shooting bursts at you and then it
drops down below the fence. Go to the edge and hold the lock on button
and start strafing and then start shootin. Repeat this step as much as
you can until he starts smoking. After it starts smoking, it unload a
whole ton of lead at you so you better be good at side stepping. First
stand facing the ledge its rising from and when it appears, lock on and
roll (while shooting) along the edge as fast as possible from on corner
to the other. Its almost beat when it passe overhead so when it does
that just lock on and fire away and you should have it. Sometimes the
chopper might drop some terrorists down but they shouldnt be too
much of a problem, just get in some quick head shots then focus on
the chopper again.
Easier Enemies
To make your enemies easier to kill, pause the game and highlight
the MAP entry. While it's highlighted, press and hold Right, R1, L2,
X. A laugh will confirm the code.
Get the M-79 and Grenades
To get the M-79 in the first level, go to the subway and turn right
twice until your on the subway track. Then get on the sidewalk and
go forward. Kill the guy running at you and climb into a square shaped
hole. If you go right, you will find two boxes, one with granades and the
other a flak jacket. If you decied to go right you will have to climb
throught another hole. Hop in to the hole and turn on your flash light
and look around, you will soon find the M-79 in a box.
Get the M-79 and Grenades: Method 2
To get the M-79 Grenade Launcher in Level 1 BEFORE you go into the
Subway here is what you have to do: When you go down the elevator to
pull the switch that bypasses the Subway security system go back up
the elevator like you normally would. There is usually a terrorist on the
fire escape to the left, kill him and climb the box by the gate. Then jump
to the opposite fire escape and climb onto it. Move forward and hold
onto the pipe above the fire escape. Shimmy across and two more
terrorists will come. Make sure you first get across the pipe before
you try to kill them. After you kill them go to the end of the fire
escape that the FIRST terrorist was on. There should be a box
containing a M-79 Grenade Launcher.
Level 2 Tips
Once the movie stops playing, turn right and go straight until you
reach the end of the first destroyed subway car. Turn left and cross
the tracks. Turn left again, go straight until you see the blazing guy
running at you screaming. Back away from him until he falls down
and quits burning.
Now, go forward again, turning to the right and fighting the bad guys
that show up. Again cross the tracks straight in front of you. Turn
right to the subway car and climb up the subway car.
Go forward until Lian calls. After listening to her call, go straight to
the end of the subway car and jump off the end.
Go forward, but beware, there is a bad guy with an M-16 and grenades,
as well as two others on the right-hand side of the tracks as you
make your way forward.
Go straight forward until you reach the end of the track where a
crashed subway car is. Turn right and walk on the tracks, shooting
the bad guy on the car above you. Once you reach the edge of the
track, push triangle to retrieve the C4.
Now turn right and head back down the tracks slowly and watching for
the grenade lobbing baddy on the left. Keep your distance and kill him.
Then climb up on the platform on the side that he was on. Don't forget
to retrieve the ammo from the dead guys as you pass.
Go left after passing the dead grenade thrower and head down that
side of the platform until you reach the tipped over, red, soda
machine. Climb up the left side of the soda machine.
Turn left until you see the brown cement above you. Jump and climb
up onto this.
Cross the brown cement until you reach the traffic symbol, shooting
bad guy that is now below you. Turn left and then jump and climb up again.
Turn 180 degrees to face white cement block above you and jump
and climp up onto it.
Now turn left and go forward until underneath the horizontal pipe. Jump
up and grab onto this and shimmy over to the right until you can go no
further. Then drop down.
Go forward, avoiding the small whole in front of you. Lian will contact
you again at this point with another message. Continue to go forward
all the way the the blocked passage entrance to the subway.
Plant your C4 on the blocked passage and get out of there. Once the
C4 explodes, opening up the passage, stick around to cover the CBDC
agent while he disarms the bomb on the tracks. You will have to fight
several bad guys here.
Once all the baddies are dead, climb back up on the subway platform
and turn left and go straight to the first right. Then go straight
across the tracks, climb up and go left.
Run until you can go no further and shut off the gas mains. Turn back
around and go straight, backtracking across the tracks where you came from.
Go back across the platform, taking the first left and continue
straight to the next left and turn left again.
Go forward to the train tracks, jump down and go right, going all the
way to the subway car in the tunnel.
Climb the box and then climb up onto the train. Go forward. Lian will
again contact you here with another message.
Continue to go forward off of the train. Continue forward slowly,
waiting for the flaming bad guy running towards you. Turn the way
you were coming from and run back towards the train to escape the
crispy critter. Be ready to fight the bad guy on top of the train. Kill him.
Turn back around and continue the way you were originally headed
when you first left the top of the train. Climp up on the box next
to the next subway train and then onto the train, killing the enemy
that is standing there waiting for you.
Go forward to the other end of the train and jump down. Once you've
gotten down and gone forward a little, another movie starts
signaling the end of this level.
Level 20 Tips
Turn right and go around the missile. Watch out for the gard
throwing grenadse. Now go down the elevator. Take out the two
guards, then climb the two girders to get to the codes.
After the movie, go to the right -> and roll under the door.
Now go across the room and up the elevator. There will be four
guards before the next room. Get the key card from one of the
scientists then go thru the door.
Now find the computer at the author side of the room.
Level 6 Tips
This is your first stealth mission so it is pretty hard. I know it took
me a long time. Well, first, instead of following the guy you need to
get to, (i forget his name but it starts with a P), instead go to the
left and climb up onto the ledges and wait for the guard to come down.
My strategy was to use L1 to get head shots and take the guards out
with my 9mm. Shoot him in he head and then head up to the next guard
and while you sit behind a pillar take him out with another head shot.
Go into the hallway and there will be a guard to the left, waitfor him
to turn his back and walk away and take him out. There is one other
guard in that room so be careful. Go into the hallway and there will be
about four guards you need to take out. This is where they killed me
the most and my mission parameters were failed.
From then on just keep following the path and keep rolling and ducking
unless you know where your enemys are. Well, i hope this help you a
lot, anddon't get too frustrated and throw your playstation against
the wall if you keep getting spotted. (Kinda like Metal Gear Solid isn't it?)
Level Select
Pause the game, go into the Options menu. Highlight the Select Mission
option, then press and hold LEFT + L1 + R1 + SELECT + SQUARE + X.
It's hard to do this, but the code has been confirmed by GameSages staff.
Pit Glitch In Dinorama Stage
There is a cool glitch you can activate in the museum level (part 2).
Go into the room with the model of the T-Rex in it after jump through
the glass. Make sure to kill the gaurds, then shoot out all the small
lights in the circular pattern above the T-Rex model. After you shoot
out ALL the lights, go over to the small podium near the T-Rex' mouth
and you'll see that where the floor used to be, it will be all black, if you
walk into it, you'll fall to your death!! I don't know if you could get the
gaurds to fall into the glitch hole, but its worth a try.
Play as the Human Torch in Any Stage
CAUTION !!: USE THIS CODE AT YOUR OWN RISK
Incorrect use of this trick can HALT the game.
This is a really cool code to see Gabe Logan in a new light. This code
enables you to run through any stage while on fire giving the effect
of the human torch.
Instructions:
Use Gameshark code for Extra Health : 80068BEC 0000
Turn off the Vibration feature. If you fail to turn off vibration the
controller will continuously vibrate.
You can set yourself on fire a number of ways
Walk into fire
Use the taser on an enemy and hold it until he burns to a crisp and
walk into the flame
Use the M-79 grenade launcher to blow up an enemy and then walk
into the fire.
This trick adds a great effect to the game.
DISADVANTAGE - CAUTION !!! You cannot use TRIANGLE to answer Lian
Xing's calls when you are contacted. If you do press TRIANGLE, the
game will crash.
To avoid this, just ignore Lian's contacts and allow the objective to
be added and press START to see the objectives. To put out the
fire, press CIRCLE to tumble on the ground.
Playing Tips
Tip #001. To get out of the intro scene and into gameplay quickly
press (X) before or during the scene.
Tip #002. The best way not to get hit by a mob of terrorists (5 or
more) in to move around in circles or you own patterns while firing back.
Tip #003. Be careful of where you aim you weapons so you won't harm
CBCD Agents (They're your best and only backup!)
Tip #004. If you use your taser on a CBCD agent during or after their
death, other agents will try to kill you.
Tip #005. If you're concerned about saving ammo in a game like this
remember to use the head method. Use manual aim and head for the
head of the enemy.
Tip #006. Shoot out spotlights/street lights/ or anything that has
light ahead of time. That way the enemy won't be able to spot you
as fast as he would.
Tip #007. Another way to save ammo is by using your taser. The pros
to it is that ic an kill the enemy by enflaming them to death. The cons
to it is that if you use the taser on one target for a certain time your
vulnerable to other lurking enemies.
Power-up bullets
Go into the game and press start. Then go to weapons and highlight
the 9mm then press and hold LEFT, L1, R2, SELECT, SQUARE, X, O.
Roehmer's Base Infiltration Walk-thru
Take out the two guards behind the truck with the Gas Grenades
found in the locker inside of the guard's room. Snipe out the guard
on the over-head walk way THEN the search light (if you shoot the
search light first, the guy will call for back-up, making your life a
living he).
Go forward until you see the first gas-tank, but take out the guard
tha's coming around the corner from the left, first. Look where the
guy just came from and take out the guard patrolling in front of the
gate. NOW plant the C-4.
Check to your left and see the guy coming down the ramp. Wait for
him to leave, and Check your right. Take out this guard using the
peek-a-boo tactic (see him when his back is turned) and head up
the ramp.
Cross the walkway and wait atop until the two guards leave the
scene. Kill the remaining guard and get the Night-Vision Rifle and
Gas Grenades. Throw a Gas Grenade to kill the two guards aroung
the corner and then sneak up and wait by their bodies. Kill the two
guards on the walk-way next to the light and then take out the light.
Walk ahead a few feet and kill the guard through the window, and
plant the second C-4.
After the C-4 turn to your right and kill the guard past the boxes,
make you way down the alley, gas the talking guards and take out
the lights. head to your right and plant the third C-4.
Walk towards the tank but when you see the special guy, run all the
way back and hide until he turns around, then kill him and pick up his
card, FLAK, and ammo. Walk ahead, kill any remaining guards, and
plant the fourth C-4.
Kill the guards around the corner and next to the door and open the
gate, Head to the Power plant and kill the patrolling gaurd, HURRY
kill the other guard next to the switch before he calls for backup.
Hit the switch, and plant the final C-4. Now make your way to the
bunker and prepare for a lot of guards in the next level.
Shoot With the Viral Scanner
Go to the first warehouse stage near the end of the game. Then
enter the code for all weapons and infinite ammo listed on this website.
Go to the room were you get the Viral Scanner. Kill the guy after he
gives you the passwords. Open up the chest with the viral scanner in
it. The subtitle should say "Viral Scanner Bullets Found". Now leave
the room. You can shoot lights and stuff, but unfortunatley not people.
Stealth Tips
You need to use stealth in Syphon Filter; and doing that can be quiet
fursterating. Here are 3 tips to improve your chances of completing the game:
When a guard is on a route (walking back and forth). Hide behind a wall
and hold L1 to manual aim. Then hit L2 or R2 to do a quick pop out.
Then you simply shoot the heck out of the guard then let go of the buttons.
Instead of using your R1 auto aim, use the L2 manual aim. Wait until
the screen says "head shot" then fire. You will use only 1 bullet and it
kills him on the first shot.
When using stealth; shoot out spotlights so guards can't see you. If
a gaurd is by a spotlight. then snipe-out then gaurd fisrt, and then
shoot the spotlight.
Survive Burning
If you're lit on fire, quickly press the START button then press the
START button again. You'll be hurt, but alive.
View All Movies
To view all the movies, go to the movie theater in the first level (in
the back alley outside the window where you fight endless enemies
behind the police cars.) Now pause the game, highlight MAPS, then
press and hold Right, L2, R1, and X. You should hear "Got it".
X-Ray Vision
Use the virus scanner to look through walls to see if an enemy is waiting for you.
