Ratchet & Clank Up Your Arsenal Glitches

  • PS2 | Submitted by Glitch King

    Unlimited Ammo For Plasma Whip

    At first it may seem like I put cheat for unlimited ammo, but it is a glitch. Have the wrench out and the Plasma Whip set on the O or R1 buttons. Use any move with the wrench except the comet strike and just before it gets in front of Ratchet switch to the whip and he should use the whip even if it's out of ammo. This has worked every time I have done it.


  • PS2 | Submitted by Beesen

    Free Roam The Phoenix

    Shuttle In the Phoenix

    When you enter the shuttle which takes you from the deck to the bridge on the Phoenix, go to the end of the shuttle and turn around and walk slowly until it says you can travel in it. Press for it to go and quickly use your hoverboots to go straight at the door closing and sure enough you will pop out onto the ground where you battle near the end of the game.

    (this cheat may not work every time, it took me at least 10 times before it worked).

    Go to Tyronosis and get to the plain. Hop in the car and crash into all the flower thingies and for every group you destroy, you get about 300 bolts.

    Challenge Mode

    Challenge mode is a harder version of Ratchet and Clank up your arsenal. To get Challenge mode all you have to do is beat the game on regular mode. After you defeat Dr. Nefarious a screen will pop up saying "do you want to go to challenge mode keeping all the guns armor and bolts you have or time warp back to just before defeating Dr. Nefarious?" obviously choose Challenge Mode. In challenge mode you start from the beginning of the game but the enemies are harder and give a TON more experience. You can also buy a MEGA mode of each gun!!! Which can the up grade twice more!!! You also get bolt multiplier which multiplies the # of bolts you get. It gets higher and higher for every enemy you kill without taking a hit!(until you reach 20X)
