Tips
  • Your C.A.T. tool has three uses per battery. Press R to view the current charge.
  • Hostile bots roam the Mall area and will attack on sight. You cannot fight them; focus on running (SHIFT) or hiding behind obstacles.
  • In MEGAZONE, find a powered-on arcade machine (back row with Gunshow image) and press E/M1 to interact. Follow on-screen prompts to play and earn an achievement.
