• To shootdodge, move the left analog stick in the selected direction
then press the
l
button.

l
button 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 20-21 for specs.)
1. Press and hold the
s
button to target the head of the enemy right
in front of Ram.
2. Press the
r
button 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 press the button 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. Use the
c
button to target an explosive item,
then press the
r
button 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. Press the left analog stick
4
/
3
to walk toward a wall, then press
the
l
button. Make sure you don’t hit the button too early or
you’ll perform a shootdodge.
2. As soon as auto-targeting locks on, press the
r
button to start
shooting.
TIP: If you’re quick on aiming with the right analog stick, 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 and press the
l
button to execute the wall bounce.
2. Once in the air, use the right analog stick to adjust Ram’s view and
fire (
r
button) as the RED target appears on each enemy. Deft use
of the left and right analog sticks and plenty of adrenaline energy
should help you pull off multiple wall-bounce kills.
Twister Kills
While in a shootdodge, press the right analog stick
4
/
3
to turn Ram
120, 180, 270 or 360 degrees. When the target appears, press the
r
button 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!
