Glitches

Double Jump

During the game, find an object to lift, such as a car or dumpster. Jump with the A button, and at the height of your jump, press RT to throw the object and immediately press and hold the A button to do a double jump. It is preferred to use a lighter object since it allows for higher jumps than with a heavier item and comes in handy when you don't have a high agility level or if you are attempting to jump a big gap that normally can't be done with a regular jump.

Wang's Invisible Ledge

If you approach Wang's Tower from the South while on the tower to the south, you can jump towards the opening and if you jump short, you will land on an invisible Ledge where you can then jump into the tower (the specific location needs to be worked out, but there is an invisible ledge)

Skills

Credit goes to Samurai_King from Gamefaqs for the following information

Agility

The higher your level, the faster you can run and the higher you can jump.

The first and most obvious way is to get the bright green Agility Orbs that are on almost every roof-top. There are 500 of these around but you will almost definably reach 4 stars before you get them all. Usually the higher up the orb is from the ground, the more Agility Experience it is worth; the easiest way to tell is how many much by how many smaller Orbs are floating over the top of the main Orb. Another way you can get Agility is to perform a far away kill from the roofs with a gun. This isn't heavily advised, since the orbs given here isn't as much as collecting orbs.

Agility is the only skill that doesn't reset if you get killed.

Driving

The higher your level, the faster and more efficiently you drive.

The first way to level you driving is to violently run over gang members. They are a bit hard to hit if you aren't coming at them fast but they do die after you hit them. The 2nd way is to perform flips and tricks in the air; if you don't land on your wheels, it doesn't count. If you get 4 stars, you gain access to the special features in the agency vehicles such as machine guns in the supercar, hydrolics in the SUV, and boosters in the Truck.

Out of the five skills, this is probably the most useless in a speed run. The reason why is that you don't really drive much except when it comes to getting to a location that you don't have a supply point at, and even so you still have to get out to reach the general that your car can't reach.

Explosives

The higher the level, the bigger the explosion.

Not much to explain here, it helps when you are heavily outnumbered and want to take out a big group with a rocket or a grenade. Explosives also come in handy when it takes out generals and kingpins fast. However at the same time, explosives can be your biggest enemy if you don't take care of how you use them. One poorly place explosive can kill you or weaken you to a position where you won't last much longer afterwards.

If you play your cards right, explosives can assist with clearing out enemies quickly and efficiently.

Strength

The higher the level, the stronger you become and the higher your health is.

You can level your strength by means of kicking your foes or throwing things at your foes. The only bad thing that can be said her is that you have to get close to your foes to actually hit them and in most locations, you don't have much to throw as well, meanwhile at the same time, if you completely disregard leveling your strength, you will be shot down quickly in the harder locations.

If you can balance your strength out with your other skills, you shouldn't have much to worry about.

Firearms

The higher your level, the more accurately and efficiently you can fire your guns.

Like explosives, not much to explain here. You just aim and shoot them. While this sounds as an easy skill, it does take a while to level and it does take a little while to properly zoom in and get a perfect hit (or a headshot).

This game is surrounded with guns, what's not to explain the pros and cons of using a gun in this game?

Another way to build up these skills at one time is to collect Hidden orbs in the area. It evenly build up the stats, though it helps if you are trying to build up your stats.

Route

New Game

(info goes here)

Agility Orb Route

This section is a WIP, this is where the proper route for collecting the agility orbs need to be placed... It hasn't been determined if a three star (or a two star) agility ranking can finish the game, though at this time, it would be unlikely due to Wang's Tower...

New Game Plus

The advantage of the new game play plus playthrough is how you can carry over your stats, weapons, and supply points, which allows the player to bypass the need to actually travel around and instead use the supply points to get to their targets faster...
