Cheat Mech
Later in the game (Day 20 to 30) the used shop Wild Mechanics will have a used SV with quad legs, heavy core, and one arm cannon at a cost of 1,500,000 Neo Yen.
Keep your money
The easiest way to keep your money and not have to repair, is to go back into a gate (such as the one you enter from). If it does not open, bump into it and it will do so.
Use laser during the charge time
When you are using a laser, you normally have to wait for it to be fully recharged. However, you can use the laser during the recharge time. When you are firing the laser, release the trigger, then press the trigger again as quickly as possible. If done correctly, you will have started a new laser beam. This lets you charge your laser slightly, allowing you to use it longer. Note: You can repeat this as many times as possible.
Easy tactics
In the first arena, just run around in a circle, getting any power-ups that manage to pop up. There are side garages you can "pull into" to let your Optical Camouflage recharge.
Easy tactics #2
In the second arena, drop into the large circular hole and wait for power-ups, killing enemies that appear.
Easy tactics #3
In the third area, start on the gate to the right. Then, hide behind the area where you start.
Stage 1: Recommended camping location
Go to the first stage on rumble (the city) and climb onto roofs for a good camping location, if you get high enough. Make sure you have a slingshot to shoot from the roof.
Stage 2: Recommended camping location
In the second stage underground, there is a large round room with a ramp that spirals down the wall. At the bottom end of this ramp is a nice location to camp out underneath. Even better, an ammo, health, and New Yen drop point is directly in front of you when you hide here.
Stage 3: Hiding location
Jump onto the "high rise" in front of you when you first enter the level. Jump up there and walk around to the left, then look around. You should see a passageway for you to pass through. Go into it halfway. This is a good location to let O.C. recharge or wait.
Hiding locations
Note: You need to have at least 20' for your jumping height to do the following.
Shinjuku: When you first come out of Gate #3, move to the last gap in the wall on your right. Then, face the building to the left. Jump onto the small building's roof, then up to the very top.
Shinjku: Start from Gate #1 and go about two blocks to your left and turn right. Go down the alley you will see a barricade of garbage cans. This is a good place to recharge your Oc and wait for other robots.
Shibuya: Start at Gate #2, take a right, jump down the hole, and climb the spiral staircase.
Aqua Line (Tokyo Aqua): Go out through Gate #2. Go slightly to the left of the bus on the left. Make a U-turn, run toward the roof directly left of the gate, and jump up onto the roof.
