Weapons in Ratchet: Deadlocked come about after unlocking them after completing
levels. Each weapon has unique qualities, from damage to the amount of ammo
available. Weapons can be upgraded from their original version 1 to version 10,
a much more powerful version, by gaining experience from use. Once a weapon
reaches level 10, the Mega version of that weapon can be bought. Mega weapons
start at level 11 and allow you to level them all the way up to level 99.
The description following the weapon's name explains how the weapon works, and
how it is best used. The place that it is available will explain where you may
first acquire the weapon in the single player mode. The power is gauged on the
pause menu, and it relates to the amount of damage enemies who are hit by the
weapon will take. When weapons reach version 10, they have a new name and will
change to a different, more powerful weapon.
Modifications are earned when you level up a weapon. After each level, a new
mod will be unlocked for you to use. Each weapon has 10 alpha mod slots, and it
is up to you to buy and select these alpha mods for each individual weapon.
There are eight types of omega mods, napalm, time bomb, freeze, mini-bomb,
morph, brainwash, acid, and shock. Only one of these omega mods can be on a
weapon at a single time, compared to the alpha mods which can be a combination
of any mod.
The omega mods are as follows: Napalm, Time Bomb, Freeze, Mini-Bomb, Morph,
Brainwash, Acid, and Shock. The Napalm mod releases lava around the area of
explosion, injuring those who cross it. The Time Bomb mod explodes after coming
into contact with an enemy, injuring those around it. The Freeze mod freezes
enemies and allows them to be killed easier. The Mini-Bomb mod releases bombs
after the original shot has exploded. The Morph mod morphs enemies into farm
animals. The Brainwash mod makes enemies turn on themselves, firing at other
enemies instead of you. The Acid mod injures the enemy even after the shot has
hit them. The Shock mod shocks an enemy and anyone within the area.
The alpha mods are as follows: Speed, Ammo, Aiming, Impact, Area, XP, Jackpot,
NanoLeech. The Speed mod will make the weapon fire at a higher rate. The Ammo
mod will increase the amount of ammo the weapon is able to hold. The Aiming mod
will increase your accuracy. The Impact mod will increase the amount of damage
dealt to an enemy. The Area mod will increase the area of an explosion. The XP
mod will increase the experience gained from killing an enemy by 50%. The
Jackpot mod will increase the amount of bolts gained from killing an enemy by
50%. The NanoLeech mod leeches health off fallen enemies and gives it to you.

_/EMP\_________________________________________________________________________
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Ratchet may run into an enemy that cannot be damaged because of a forcefield
that surrounds it. Turrets, as well as other landstalkers are examples of
enemies that may have these forcefields around them. Command your bots to throw
an EMP at the enemy, and it will temporarily disable the shield as well as the
enemy itself. The left direction on the d-pad will command your bots to use an
EMP.

¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Ratchet: Deadlocked starts you off by watching a scene from the popular show
called DreadZone, located in the Shadow Sector. Captain Starshield takes out 3
unsuspecting robots, but is struck down from behind by Ace Hardlight. This is
the basis of the show DreadZone, putting heros in combat situations and seeing
if they live or die.
Just as Sasha calls Ratchet and explains about the disappearing heros, his ship
is boarded, and Ratchet is kidnapped by Gleeman Vox. This begins your time in
the containment area. Al has installed the standard armor and has sent you to a
training course to test it out. This is where you take control of Ratchet and
guide him to victory.
Start by looking at the holotarget on the left by moving the right analog
stick. Next, look right at the holotarget and use the R1 button to fire at it.
When it has disappeared, aim upwards and shoot that holotarget. Jump to the top
of the ledge with the X button to complete the next small task. 3 more
holotargets will appear around the arena, you will need to destroy them all.
The first is directly in front of you, so take him out first. Next, double jump
over the ledge and shoot the next holotarget standing behind it. Turn to the
left and you'll see stairs leading up to the third holotarget. Climb them and
take him out to gain access to the teleporter. It is located at the end of the
arena, use it by pressing /\ while standing on it.
You will be transported to another battle arena after a small cutscene with Vox
telling you about being a contestant on DreadZone. Messages from Clank will
appear at the bottom of your screen, which will help you during your time at
DreadZone.
The next arena starts with a bridge over lava, so cross it and go into an open
area. To the right of the arena Bladeballs will come at you. Use R1 to fire
either your Dual Vipers or Magma Cannon at them. When they're all destroyed
another wave of Bladeballs as well as swarmers will come after you. Take them
out and 5 DZ Strikers will appear. These enemies are robots and are more
powerful than the smaller enemies you just faced. Move around to avoid damage
and take them out to trigger a group of Tremors. Tremors are quick, so fire
at them as soon as you see them. Another wave of swarmers will come at you
after the Tremors, dispose of them to get to the next cutscene.
Ratchet as well as Al and Clank have collars fitted around their neck so they
will not be able to escape without exploding. After the cutscene ends go to the
transporter in the middle of the arena to get back to the containment area.
Clank wants you to find Al, and with good reason too. Not only will you see Al
dancing to Courtney Gears, but you'll gain 2 new bots which will help you
during your time in DreadZone. Al is waypointed with a blue and white flashing
star in case you can't find him by sight alone.
Once you've got your bots from Al, you can return to his area to go to the bot
vendor and upgrade them. Now head over to Clank at the other side of the
containment area. After visiting with him, Vox orders you to fight in the
Battledome, so go to the ship on the left side of the area which will take you
to the Battledome.

You'll start this battle by facing Swarmers and DZ Strikers that jump out of
the dropship. The Magma Cannon is fairly powerful against these early enemies,
and does well with groups of enemies. Use it to take out this first wave, and
watch as one of your bots goes down. When bots take too much damage they'll
fall to the ground, disabled. You can repair them by pressing Down on the
d-pad. Once your bot is repaired, 2 platforms will appear for you to cross the
lava and advance to the next area.
You'll jump down into a lower level of the arena and immedietly be attacked by
Bladeballs and DZ Strikers. Don't worry about getting hurt or using ammo from
either one of your weapons, because there is plenty in boxes in this area.
