Player Guide

Suit Mode

1. Health
   The player's current health points. 99 maximum, but may be boosted to 199 with a powerup.

2. Missiles
   Player's alternate ammunition. Max of 15.

3. Energy
   Beam energy. Depleted with each normal fire shot and charged shot.

1. Crosshair
   Dynamic crosshair, changes to red when over a hostile, also displays player name.

Weapons

Energy Beam  The suit's basic weapon. Fire with left-click. Low damage, but the ability to rapidly fire by pressing the button.

Charge Beam The charge beam is an extension of the energy beam. Begin to charge the beam by holding left-click. The beam will build into a very powerful shot, but takes time to regenerate. Can also be used with Charge Combos, such as the Super Missile and Charge Bomb.

Missiles The basic auxiliary weapon for the suit. Fire with right-click. High speed projectile with a splash radius. Medium damage.

Beam Blade The melee weapon. High powered energy blades extend from the arm cannon. Lethal at close range.

Super Missiles A Charge Combo. Requires the player to have a fully charged energy beam to function, as well as 5+ regular missile ammo. High speed projectile with a large splash radius. One hit kill on direct impact. (In RC2)

Tips and Tricks

Pulling Items In addition to the Charged Beam's high powered shot, it can also be used to pull out-of-reach items to itself. Hold left-click until you have a fully charged beam, and point it at the pickup you wish to pull towards you.

Morph Ball Mode

Morph ball mode is perfect for agile, quick movement. With a smaller size, faster speed, and the ability to access places the normal suit cannot, the morph ball provides the player with a lot of options in terms of gameplay.

Heads-Up Display

1. Health
   The player's current health points. 99 maximum, but may be boosted to 199 with a powerup. Numerical values not available in morph mode.

2. Boost
   Current boost charge.

3. Bombs
   Number of bombs currently in inventory

Weapons

Bombs The morph ball mode's form of offense. Players left-click to drop the bombs. A maximum of four bombs can be out at a time.

Boost Hold down right-click to charge. Upon release, the morph ball launches in the direction it is facing at very high speeds.

Charged Bombs When in suit mode, hold the charge beam to maximum and press the Morph key. Bombs are dropped in a radius around the morph ball.

Tips and Tricks

Bomb Jumping Bombs do not cause damage to the player who dropped them. Drop a bomb and stay over it for a quick vertical boost. Try chaining them together for higher height to access secret areas.

Boost Jumping In addition to propelling the morph ball forward, the boost can also be used to propel the ball up. Hold a full charge and perfectly time the boost release and jump, and the morph ball is sent rocketing upwards.

Pickups
