Metal Arms: Glitch in the System

If you visit Shady and Mr. Pockets (the barter droids), then leave without buying anything, they will say something other than their usual set of parting phrases.

In some levels there are guns that are difficult to destroy. If you throw an EMP grenade at it, then hijack it, you can shoot with it. When you get out of the sentry, it will automatically be recruited, giving you a good advantage in the Mill City Hub, and Mill City Center levels.

In the level 15 minutes, the old droid in the jail cell will talk to you, when the mils come to get you, hit them with you're arm until they start shooting at you, when they do this hide behind the old droid and the mils will destroy him instead of you and a cleaner should appear! Now use it against those Titans.

To kill corrosive without getting hurt, hide under the curved tunnel just in the entrance looking out towards the right hand wall of the arena, and he will position himself a few meters in front of you. You can then shoot everything you have at the hole in the red patch in his armor while he does absolutely nothing to defend himself.

Fire missiles at Kingbot until he stops moving. This usually happens after about four to five shots. Then, aim your targets at his right leg, stand just off-center, and throw in a Core Charge. This normally takes about five times. After ever two charges, some little bots will appear. The best weapon to use against them is the Scatter Ammo, as it will kill them quickly, especially when they are directly bearing down on you. Missiles will cause more damage to your health.

Disable the King Bot by firing missiles at him. This will make him stop in his tracks. Then his mouth will open, and you can throw core charges in. Next, aim your recticle (target) at his leg where it meets his body. You need to stand slightly to the right.

It is only necessary to use missiles and grenades. Immediately take out your missile launcher and run to the right to get extra missiles. Turn and disable Kingbot with three to four shots. Move over to one of the enclosed ground areas and allow Kingbot to crush it open, being careful not to be hit. This will give you more grenades. Disable him again and fire missiles in his mouth when he opens it. Line up your grenades to go in his mouth by standing just off-center to his right. You will see his head start to smoke. After doing this a few times, small robots will pop out of him. These can be destroyed with other guns, but it is easier to use the missiles. When they die, they will leave behind heath packs. Keep firing in his mouth and he will explode.

Mils are a lot less likely to "know" what is shooting at them if you are in a vehicle.

The best way to catch Mils that are already hunting you down off-guard is to throw a coring charge around a corner. Even better, in the case of the bunkers in the Access The Ruins level and Secret Rendezvous level, stick your head in, throw a coring charge, and get out. The results are amply satisfactory.

Always reload your weapon when you are done with a pack of Mils. Reloading in a firefight can be very costly.

If you end up on top of a RAT with a Mil or enemy player in the gun seat, jump on top of the gun, or into the gun seat before shooting at them. This takes a little practice, but it is possible. By doing this, they will not be able to shoot at you while you shoot at them. The same goes for the Sentinel turret, as well as the AA gun turrets (single RAT machine gun, mounted on the ground). However, it does not work for the Super AA guns (quadruple barrel and mortar launcher, much more powerful than standard AA); if you stand on top of the barrels, you will still take damage for some reason.

To deactivate a Scout quickly and easily, run up to it, preferably from behind. Get as close as you can before it notices you. Use the Scatter Blaster on it. Do not use coring charges or rockets on it; they take far to much time to re-fire/reload. The Rivet Gun is too accurate, and there are only five rivets to a clip. The Mining Laser should not be used, for obvious reasons. If it gets too far away to use the Scatter Blaster, get the SPEW out and use that.

When dealing with a Sentry turret, get around the back of it and jump onto the platform on its back. You can shoot at it, but it will not be able to shoot back. When it turns around to fire at you, you will still be behind it. It will just end up turning around and around.

After you enter Level 23 "The Hand Is Mightier", you move toward an open metal gate.

Suddenly, a shielded grunt Mil armed with a rivet gun comes from outside the gate. He says "What are you doing here? No droids are allowed in this area of Mil City! Prepare to be destroyed!"

When he starts speaking, run toward the back of the generator on the left side, and a shop will appear. Buy the Level 3 S.P.E.W. EUK to destroy Milbot shields.

Use the S.P.E.W. to fight this grunt as you run through the gate. Fight two more grunts as you go under the bridge.

After going under the bridge, you see a Titan. Throw an EMP grenade at him, and fire a control tether at his D port to take control of him. Then use him as your fighter against the other Mils.
