Prima’s Official Strategy Guide

Introduction

Don’t Mess with Sopot!

Nanotechnology, a new technology, allowed the creation of super soldiers—stronger, faster,

and smarter than any others. Sopot’s scientists used it to create an invincible army of fighting

machines by transforming 2,000 volunteers. But Sopot began to fear his creations and

declared them enemies of the state. His elite guard hunted them down and destroyed all but a

handful of survivors. Six of these soldiers, united by their uniqueness and a common cause,

were brought together under the flag of the Red Faction, a rebellious group intent on bringing

about Sopot’s downfall. Together they will fight, and win.

You are Alias, one of the few super soldiers to escape Sopot’s extermination

squads. Along with your allies, you’ll face eleven dangerous missions to end Chancellor

Sopot’s regime.

As you head into battle, we’re by your side every step of the way. In this guide,

you’ll find detailed strategy for every mission and a complete rundown of the weapons

at your disposal. Follow our strategy or turn to us for help getting through a sticky situa-

tion. We cover your main objectives, but also the hidden bonus objectives that allow you

to raise your level of heroism and claim the best ending to the game.

Check out the Secrets section at the end of this guide. There are codes to help you

along the way and information on how to unlock all of the game’s secrets. Perhaps

you’re into blasting your friends? You’ll also find helpful information and maps for multi-

player games.

Prepare yourself and gather your squad. Sopot’s day of reckoning has come, and

you are the angel of death. Stay true to your friends and fight bravely, Alias. The day will

come when you will be declared a hero of the Commonwealth.

Basic Training

Mercenary 101

Red Faction ® II is a game like no other, so start from the beginning and arm yourself with knowledge. Even if you played the original

Red Faction ® , there’s more to learn. Read through the following and you’ll enter the game more confident and capable.

default

Controls

Alias’

Health and

Healing

Kit is used and the bar is refilled. Alias

holds three Health Kits at a time. If Alias

is damaged and holding three Health Kits,

but still has part of his health bar, you can

restore his health bar by picking up a

Health Kit. If Alias is damaged and you’re

holding less than three Health Kits, any

Health Kits you pick up will be added to

the number of Health Kits carried rather

than immediately restoring Alias’ life bar.

Alias has a unique power that allows

him to regenerate health. This power isn’t

available in the first mission (or multiplayer),

because Alias hasn’t been transformed by

Nanotechnology yet. To use the power, find a

safe place to rest whenever Alias is hurt.

After a few seconds, his health bar refills

automatically. The healing process is

slow and requires several moments of

rest, so you can’t heal in the midst of a

firefight unless you find cover and remain

hidden long enough.

complete any bonus objective, finding and

tell you about every objective and bonus

objective. Complete them all to get the

most out of your game.

note

Most weapons have primary and second-

ary fire. For instance, the NICW can shoot

bullets or Grenades, depending on which

button you press. To use a weapon’s primary

fire with the default controller setting, press

R . Use its secondary fire by pressing L .

In some cases, the secondary fire may be

a scope or a different attack. Get to know

each weapon’s primary and secondary

fire. Find more information on this subject

in the Weapons section of the guide.

You begin the game with a couple of

weapons. As you progress through the

game, you can acquire new weaponry by

finding it on shelves or in secret areas, or

by defeating enemies and picking up

whatever items they drop. Throughout the

walkthrough, we’ll tell you whenever you

can acquire a new weapon.

You can tell the difference between an

objective and a bonus objective by the

icon next to it. A star precedes

required objectives, while bonus

objectives have a circle before them.

Geo-Mod TM

Objectives

and Bonus

Objectives

Ammunition

Each of Alias’s weapons uses a certain

type of ammunition. If you run out of

ammunition for a particular weapon, you

can’t use it until you find the right type of

ammunition. There are eight types of

ammunition: Light Rounds, Medium

Rounds, Heavy Rounds, Grenades, Slugs,

Rockets, Shells, and Phosphor Shells.

Many weapons share the same type

of ammo. If one of the weapons is out of

ammunition, all of these guns will be out

except for whatever ammo they have in

their clips. Look for ammunition on the

ground anytime you defeat an enemy.

Enemies drop ammunition for whatever

weapon they were using. If you ever find

yourself totally out of ammunition, pistol

whip your enemies by equipping the Pistol

and using the secondary fire.

An objective is a goal assigned to you at

the start of or during a mission. When you

receive a new objective, you hear an

audio cue and a message appears on

screen. Check your objectives at any time

by pressing 8 . Completed objectives are

green, and uncompleted objectives are

white. Each time you complete an objec-

tive, your character’s heroics increases.

Your character’s level of heroics deter-

mines which ending cinema you see at

the game’s end. Look for more information

on that in the Secrets section at the back

of this guide.

Bonus objectives are hidden through-

out the game. Sometimes your squad gives

you clues about these objectives. Others

are found by experimenting with each

level. Though you aren’t required to

Geo-Mod TM technology allows you to

destroy some of the scenery around you.

For example, you may be able to destroy

a wall with a Satchel Charge or shatter a

pillar with a Grenade. In most cases, you

need to use an explosive in order to Geo-

Mod the terrain. Not all areas can be

transformed in this manner. To determine

if you can Geo-Mod an object, look at it.

In most cases, a portion of the terrain is

different than the area around it. You may

see a patch of bricks in a concrete wall,

or a large crack running across the

ground. These are telltale signs of an

area that can be destroyed. Find loca-

tions that can be destroyed to uncover

secret passages and rooms where bonus

objectives are found or completed.

Prima’s Official Strategy Guide

Evading

Enemy Fire

Headshots

The Squad

In most first-person shooters, dodging enemy

fire is simple: Strafe back and forth and the

enemy misses as long as you move. This

isn’t the case in Red Faction ® II . Strafing is

an important part of avoiding enemy fire, but

its effectiveness is limited. When your

enemy uses a slow projectile, such as a

Grenade or Rocket, dodge the shot by mov-

ing sideways. You may take splash damage

from the explosion if the projectile hits a

wall or other object nearby.

Every humanoid enemy has one weak

spot, its head. Although an enemy can

survive a hail of bullets to its chest, it can

survive one or two bullets to the head,

depending upon the power of the gun

used. Always aim for an enemy’s head.

This conserves ammunition, but also

dispatches enemy units faster, so you take

less damage in return. In cases where you

use explosives (Grenade Launcher, WASP,

Anti-Personnel Weapon), there’s no need

to aim for the head. You either kill the

enemy instantly or not. The amount of

damage caused by an explosion is

determined by the target’s distance from

the center of the explosion, not by where

the enemy is hit.

Alias isn’t always alone on his missions.

Sometimes a member of his squad is

along for the ride. Your squad helps you in

several ways. Not only will they engage

and eliminate enemies, but they also

provide you with clues to hidden objec-

tives and point you in the right direction

when necessary. Your squadmates are

invincible. Enemy and friendly fire can’t

harm them. You can actually place a

Satchel Charge on a squadmate’s chest

and watch it explode. It won’t cause any

damage. Use this to your advantage. Let

your squadmates charge into battle while

you hang back. They take the brunt of

enemy fire, then you can go in after and

clean up.

To avoid being shot in Red Faction ® II ,

find cover. It can be anything—a box, a

vehicle, a wall, or anything else that

protects a portion of your body. The best

cover protects the lower portion of your

body and allows you to shoot over the top,

or completely covers your left side while

allowing you to shoot with your right hand.

There’s one thing you need to consider

when looking for cover. Before you choose

an object to hide behind, you need to

know if that object can be destroyed.

Some objects, such as concrete or wood

barricades, are great but temporary.

Bullets can destroy wood, so in a firefight

it gets ripped to shreds quickly. Concrete

is vulnerable to explosives, so Grenades

or Rockets can destroy it. There are types

of cover that explode when they’re

destroyed. You can hide behind barrels,

but a few shots from enemy weapons

cause them to explode. If you’re hiding

behind an object when it explodes, you’ll

be in for a world of hurt. Avoid objects

such as barrels, storage containers, vehi-

cles, or anything else that might carry

explosive materials.
