Prototype Guide

Kill Events

In a Kill Event, the goal is to kill as many Infected or Military targets within the allotted time limit as possible. Each type of enemy is worth a set amount of points, and in most cases, you aren't constrained to killing marked targets to rack up score. For a kill to count toward your score, you must use the weapon provided. If you are given a Power, only killing enemies with attacks that fall under that power will count.

Kill targets with the provided weapon to rack up score.

Reach a set score within the time limit to earn either a Bronze, Silver, or Gold medal. There are also Platinum medals, which are unlocked by earning Gold in every single event (all Movement, Glide, and War events included). Even if you have yet to unlock the Platinum targets, completed events that fall at or above Platinum score will be bumped up once you have.

Achieving Platinum on all events unlocks Radical medals, which all require a ridiculously high score to unlock.

To achieve Platinum time in all Kill Events, it is a good idea to have completed the main storyline and unlocked all of the Power, Combat, and Movement upgrades.

Jump and Double Airdash to a large group of Infected and perform a fully-charged Street Sweeper (hold Y/Triangle). Then, spam basic attacks (X/Square) and spin the camera around in search of another group of Infected and Jump and Double Airdash over to them. The larger Infected are worth more points, and will chase after you, so they are likely to get swiped when Street Sweeper is performed.

Time Limit: 2:00

Ignore the marked UAVs and instead head for the large military compound in the southwest corner of the city. Switch to the helicopter's secondary weapon (use RB/R1 to cycle through) and blast the soldiers and any tanks you can spot below. You should be able to rack up quite a score this way.

Irony

Weapon: APC
Target: Military
Time Limit: 2:00

Start south down the long road and spin the camera around. Hold down LT/L2, flick the Right Thumbstick/Analog Stick to target a soldier and press the RB/R1 button to fire off a homing missile. Do not remain locked-on to the soldier once the missile has been fire, and instead immediately cycle to a new target and fire again.

The biggest threat here are other tanks, marked by the red skull icon on the mini-map. When a red skull icon appears on the mini-map, flick the Right Thumbstick/Analog Stick to face the enemy tank and hit it with the Missile Launcher (RB/R1); the tank should be destroyed in a single hit, provided you have acquired the Armored Vehicle Max upgrade. Continue heading south, blasting the groups of soldiers that appear behind you, and keep an eye out for tanks using the mini-map.

Armor

Weapon: Tank
Target: Military
Time Limit: 2:00

Destroying an enemy tank is worth five points, so target these almost exclusively. Hold the LT/L2, RT/R2, and RB/R1 buttons at all times; when a tank appears on the mini-map (denoted by a red skull icon), flick the Left Thumbstick/Analog Stick to target the tank. Provided you have acquired the Armored Vehicles Max upgrade, the targeted tank should be destroyed within seconds. Target groups of soldiers while you wait for more tanks to spawn, but immediately target a tank whenever one appears.

Attaining a Platinum score seems to require a bit of luck here, as the number of tanks that spawn at once and where they spawn is random.

Aerial Assault Platinum

Knuckle-Dragger

Weapon: Hammerfist Power
Target: Military
Time Limit: 1:00

This one requires a lot of luck. At the start, try to hit several of the soldiers in the street below with Hammerfist Elbow Slam. Then, look for a tank, which is denoted by a red skull icon on the mini-map. When a tank appears, Sprint, Jump, and Airdash toward it and perform a string of basic attacks to bust the tank. Succeeding here really involves luck, since tanks seem to spawn randomly.

The easy way to achieve a Platinum score requires a bit of preparation and is somewhat exploitive. First, hijack five or six tanks and park them along one side of the building that the event marker is on. Bust the tanks up a bit, take note of which side of the building they are parked, and then start the event. At the start of the event, drop down the side of the building where the tanks are parked and hit them with Hammerfist Smackdown and basic attacks. Once all of the prepared tanks have been destroyed, target the soldiers and marked tanks and kill them in an attempt to reach the target score.

Clear Cutting

Weapon: Blade Power

Time Limit: 1:00

At the start, Glide and Airdash over to a group of Infected Civilians; the Hunter and other marked Infected should run over to your location. Use basic attacks to rip apart the marked and civilian Infected. Evolved Infected are worth more points than Infected Civilians and are easier to kill than Hunters, so favour targeting them when they appear. Use Blade Air Slice and Blade Frenzy to kill Hunters when they spawn.

Stay on street level and hold down the LT/L2 button. Flick the Right Thumbstick/Analog Stick to target an enemy tank, which yield 10 points each when destroyed.

Tanks are denoted by a red skull icon on the mini-map, so when you spot one, flick the Right Thumbstick/Analog Stick to target the recently-spawned tank.
