Tips and Tricks
Quests
Before a run always check if there is a quest available. Take it. NPC’s in the lobby will provide you with the quest. Complete the quest you have selected in a single run.
Weapons
Arcadegeddon has a wide variety of weapons to equip. These range from assault rifles to SMGs to snipers and more, including elemental-based guns.
You will have two gun slots initially and the third slot will be activated later on.
An incinerator gun is good for close range and a flame thrower provides you with insane damage.
Guns that have ammo as ammo/-ve means you will not get more ammo of that gun in the run. Colored chests contain many useful items, including weapons! Learn more about weapons in the game here.
Hacks
The chests will also provide you with hacks, each granting you with something you can use in the game to your benefit. These can include more ammo capacity, faster movement speed, higher damage with SMGs, and more. Make sure you keep an eye out for these!
Health
Fall damage is there for some jumps. Your shield might regenerate but your health does not so if your shield runs out, try to get out of the encounter. You can also pay to heal yourself at the stations in the game.
Remember to always enter a fight with complete health and shield as much ammo as you can!
Your boss meter fills up when you kill an enemy and a pop up appears when your meter is filled to fight the boss.
Gain Credits
During your runs, destroy every breakable object in your sight like crates and sacs. This will help you gain credits and also unlock other in-game items you might need further in the game.
