• To shootdodge, move in the selected direction of the dive,
then press

multiple enemies in one shootdodge move.
• To perform a reverse shootdodge, press
Spacebar twice in quick
succession while moving in any direction.
Headshot
The headshot will snuff out most assailants (though not boss villains)
with one bullet. Since it’s a precision move, timing is crucial.
NOTE: Not all weapons are precise enough to perform headshots.
(See pages 19-21 for specs.)
1. Right-click and hold to target the head of the enemy right in front
of Ram.
2. Left-click only when the four targeting brackets meet at the enemy’s
head and turn
YELLOW.
TIP:
Listen for the audio effect. This helps you time the move correctly
at longer range. Only split-second timing makes a perfect headshot.
If you pull the trigger too early or too late you’ll need to try again.
Havoc Kill
The havoc kill is a stylin’ way to use unstable, explosive items to wipe
out your adversaries. Roll the mouse to target an explosive item,
then left-click to shoot it.
Wall Walk
The wall walk is an acrobatic move in which Ram runs a few steps
up a wall then leaps off, performing a cartwheel in the air before landing
on his feet.
1. Sidestep (
A/D ) to walk toward a wall, then press Spacebar. Make sure
you don’t hit Spacebar too early or you’ll perform a shootdodge.
2. As soon as auto-targeting locks on,
left-click to start shooting.
TIP: If you’re quick on aiming with the mouse, you may be able to hit
multiple targets for extra style points.
Wall Bounce
This move involves running almost directly at a wall, then bouncing off
the wall facing away from it to set up for a forward shootdodge.
1. Run at a wall (
W ) and press Spacebar to execute the wall bounce.
2. Once in the air, roll the mouse to adjust Ram’s view and fire
(
left-click ) as the RED target appears on each enemy. Deft use
of the
mouse and plenty of adrenaline energy should help you pull off
multiple wall-bounce kills.
Twister Kills
While in a shootdodge, roll the mouse
4
/
3
to turn Ram 120, 180, 270
or 360 degrees. When the target appears, left-click to make a kill
for extra style points. Twister kills involve turning both ways
before shooting, a show-boating move that’s tough to execute!
Kill Multipliers
If you make multiple kills within a kill move, the kill multiplier ( DOUBLE,
TRIPLE, QUAD,
etc.) is displayed onscreen and means extra points!
