Mega/Giga/Omega Upgrades
When you beat the game & play again in Challenge Mode, you can buy Mega Upgrades for weapons that have reached Lv5 once you have reached Florana. You can upgrade them to Giga, then once more to Omega. They get more powerful & have a higher ammo capacity when they are at Omega level. You can also by the Ry3no, which is at 3,000,000 Bolts (2,700,000 Bolts with the Gadgetron 10% discount). You can upgrade this to the Rynocirator at Lv5, but there are no Mega/Giga/Omega upgrades for this weapon.

Suck Cannon Extra Suck-Up
Ok this trick is kinda hard to do so listen up. If you can suck up lots of stuff with your suck cannon but already have ammo in it and don't want to waste it, then switch to it(so thats it's in your "press triangle to cycle between 3 weapons" thing), then press triangle twice to have the weapon before the Suck Cannon equipped. Finally, press triangle, then INSTANLY press circle. Your Suck Cannon will start sucking even though it still has ammo in it! P.S. I may be able to do this trick because my disk or PS2 is a bit messed up, but I'm not sure. Please try this a few times and please don't report this as bogus I'm just writing what works for me. P.S.S.Even if the Suck Cannon doesn't appear the instant you press triangle the last time, still press circle right away.

Infernox Armor
If you don't have the Infernox armor, but still want to look cool by wearing it, start a new game and get to the planet where you need to rescue the president. Next, find the place where you get the Inferno box and hit it. Run to the drop ship and a cut scene will happen. After it is over you should still be wearing the Infernox Armor. Note: Do not go to the skins menu, otherwise it will go away.

Attract Bolts
First, go to the Zeldrin Starport. Then, instead of going to Quark's ship, take the path to the right, where all the ninjas are. Follow this path and, eventually, you will come to a wrench upgrade called, "Bolt Breaker V.2" With the upgrade, when you jump and hit the square button, you will break all boxes, etc. close to you and attract the bolts that come out of them like a magnet. **Tip: There is a platinum bolt on the path to the Bolt Breaker V.2. It isn't too hard to find so look around.

Easy Weapon Level Ups Anyone?
If you are farther in the game, go to obani draco and the area should look purple and very strange. For this to work, you will need gravity boots. Simply run through the area and you will see little robots floating around and kill them. At the end of the level, look at ur weapons XP and you should see a chunk of XP gained. Return to ship and and go to another planet and come back and keep doing this over again.

Drone Base Defence
If you are playing multiplayer on Outpost X12 area, capture the node with the drones. Then go to your tunnel opening to your base and set them in defend that area. It is just a little extra defence if you are being pounded by the other team.

Unlimited Ammo
When you get to Qwark hideout, turn around and go to the ice behind your ship. Go to the left side of the ice and behind it. There you will find the PDA then make sure you have 250,000 bolts. And then you will have unlimited ammo.

Constructobot Skin
To earn this very hard-to-earn skin, you must earn or find all the trophies in the trophy room in the Phoenix (basically beat the whole game), unlocking the door in the trophy room. There is a teleporter that goes to the museum and can be used whenever you like, and when you use it you get the Constructobot Skin!!! =D =D
