20. Challenge Mode [020]

Ready for a tougher fight? Challenge Mode in Ratchet & Clank (2016) ramps up the action with stronger enemies, new weapon tiers, and higher stakes. Learn how to conquer it!

Alright, so you've beaten the game once and you're looking to dive back in for that sweet 100% completion, huh? Challenge Mode is where the real grind begins, but don't worry, I'll walk you through what's different and how to tackle it.

What's New in Challenge Mode:

• Max Health Boost: Your maximum Nanotech is now 200, so you can take a bit more punishment.
• Omega Weapons: All your weapons can be upgraded to Level 10, becoming super-powered Omega Weapons. This requires you to have the Holocard Set for that weapon and have it already at Level 5. Be warned, these upgrades cost a LOT more bolts!
• Bolt Multiplier: This is your best friend for farming bolts. Killing enemies without getting hit or dying increases your bolt multiplier, meaning each enemy drops way more bolts. Rack 'em up!
• DEATH BY DISCO Trophy: Remember the Groovitron? You get it late in the game, but this trophy requires you to make *every* enemy in the game dance, from the very first planet to the final boss. You'll need to revisit planets to catch 'em all.
• Trophy-Specific Enemies: Some trophies, like [NOT MY JOB, THAT SINKING FEELING, WHEN SLEEP FLY], require you to defeat specific enemies. These enemies might disappear after you clear a planet, so make sure you get them while you can before moving on. Check the trophy section for the full scoop.
• Tougher Foes: Expect enemies to hit harder and have more health. They're not messing around anymore!
