Easy achievement points in Co-op mode
-------------------------------------- When starting a Co-op campaign, instead of logging into your main Gamertag as player one, log in as player two. Doing this from the beginning or while replaying chapters will let you play as Dominic Santiago. There are several achievements that you will unlock playing as him. Additionally, if you start as Dominic from the beginning, you will not gain any less points then you would as Marcus and it will save you a lot of time.↑ Top
Easy group kills
----------------- Once you get the Torque Bow, wait until you see groups of Locusts, then shoot one in the head. After you wait a few seconds, it should blow up and kill all or most of them.↑ Top
Two player path block
----------------------- Use the following trick while playing in two player mode and you reach a difficult part with a doorway. Have one player die in the doorway. This will create a block that the Locust cannot get past. They will usually line up behind your dead partner, allowing you a safe zone to easily pick them off. Once it is clear, just revive your partner and move on.↑ Top
Chainsaw cuts through objects
------------------------------ The chainsaw on your Lancer has the ability to cut through many things if you get close to it and start it up. This includes doors, walls, and boxes.↑ Top
Secret achievement
------------------- Shock Therapy (30 gamerscore points): Beat a Brumak on the Hardcore difficulty mode.↑ Top
Closing Emergence Holes
------------------------ When an Emergence Hole opens up, toss a grenade into it. This will automatically close the hole, and therefore keep the locusts from coming out. The Hammer Of Dawn can easily destroy Emergence Holes. You must activate it by targeting an enemy first, and then aim it toward the Emergence Hole. Fire a Torque Bow arrow into an Emergence Hole. This is somewhat challenging to do, due to the straight line of fire given by the bow. However, if you are close enough to fire while the line of fire is arced, it is possible to make it into the hole. A Torque Arrow stuck in the top of the hole will close it as well.↑ Top

Berserker Tip
-------------- When the Beserker is chasing you run, next to the smashable doors, then move back and he will smash them down for you. Once you're out of the tomb, simply use the Hammer of Dawn on him. It takes a few shots, but is very effective! Note: Beserkers are blind, so if you do stay near him he will attack by using his strong smell. Modify weapons: --------------- Use a text editor to view the "WarWeapon.ini" file in the game's "Config" folder. Scroll down until finding the section for the desired weapon. For example, the entry for the Lancer appears as follows. [WarfareGame.WeapAssaultRifle] InitialMagazines=6 CriticalAmmoCount=10 LastBulletStrongerPercent=0.75f PRMDamage=Value=20,21,22,23,24 PRMDamageAI=Value=20,21,22,23,24 MagSize=60 MaxSpareAmmo=600 PRMRecoil=Value=11,27,24,21,18 PRMMinAimError=Value=0 PRMMaxAimError=Value=12,11,10,9,8 PRMRange=Value=8192,10240,12288,14336,16384 PRMRateOfFire=Value=850 AmmoFromDrop=X=100,Y=150 MeleeAttackDamageMin=1000 MeleeAttackDamageMax=1000 bDoMeleeDamageShakes=FALSE MeleeAttackInterruptedRetryDelay=2 ReloadDuration=2.5 ARPreReactionWindowDuration=-1.0 ARPossibleSuccessStartPoint=0.700 ARSuperSweetSpotDuration=-1.0 ARSweetSpotDuration=-1.0 AIBurstFireCount=X=8,Y=12 AIBurstFireDelay=X=0.8f,Y=1.2f TargetingFOV=40 bPlayFireCameraShake=TRUE FireCameraShake=FOVAmplitude=0,LocAmplitude=X=0,Y=0,Z=0,RotAmplitude=X=45,Y=22.5,Z=11.25, RotFrequency=X=80,Y=50,Z=20,TimeDuration=0.25,bOverrideTargetingDampening=TRUE,TargetingDampening=0.5 bPlayFireCameraAnim=FALSE bFireCameraAnimLooping=TRUE FireCameraAnimName=CameraRecoilAssaultRifle Look for the line you wish to modify. The file itself cannot be changed, but its entries can be used as console codes. For example, to modify the Lancer's clip size to 1000, the "MagSize=60" would need to be updated through a console code. The format of the code is the word set followed by the weapon heading (in this example, WarfareGame.WeapAssaultRifle) followed by the value to be changed (in this example MagSize=1000). The complete code to be entered at the console window would be the set WarfareGame.WeapAssaultRifle MagSize 1000 command. This can be done with any value in the file.↑ Top
