Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal Online Strategy Guide

Pause the game and enter: CIRCLE, SQUARE, CIRCLE, SQUARE, UP, DOWN, LEFT, LEFT

Go to any challenge like Annihilation Nation, start the challenge and quit and it refills your ammo and health. This will save you thousands of bolts.

When fighting in the battle arena you will come upon matches where you weapon will auto switch after a few shots. To avoid this follow these steps. Start firing of shots till you get the hurricane. When it is out simply hold the fire button and don't let go or do a clank double jump and you will continue to fire the hurricane even though the weapon in you selector block will say something else. I find this easiest to do if you switch to lock-strafe-mode and then hold down R1 (fire).

Hint: Upgrade Flux Rifle Quickly

it works: 0% | it doesn't work: 0%

First go to the planet Mylon and then get out your flux rifle. Then go to the very end of the platform at the very beginning of the level. Next shot both of the robonoid commender's. It will take some time to beat them but each shot upgrades your rifle to the v3. Then it takes 2 shots. If they both die (they will)just jump off and start over. Just keep doing this till it is up graded all the way (this will take tops 2 min.).
