Developer Tips (Part 2)
By Designers (Radical Entertainment): Dave Forsey, Eric Holmes, Greg MacMartin

1. Crush – and Destroy!
CRUSHER moves are the “Achilles heel” techniques that match to specific enemy types. You’re going to have to work for it - these techniques can usually be bought around 1 chapter after the enemy has been introduced – but hey, that gives you time to save. For example, the Air Spike move is a CRUSHER against enemy aircraft, or try the Hammer Toss against tanks.

2. Weaponize
Weaponize whenever possible – experiment with different combinations of weapons against different enemies; each weaponization has an enemy it is highly effective against. Can you find the most effective techniques?

3. Explore
Hitting the agony wall on some mission? Fear not! Exploring the city and outskirts is a goldmine of smash points.

Hidden throughout the city and outskirts are a total of 204 smash point “coins”. Each of these will yield you 2000 smash points. In the city, look for them at the end of alleyways, on ledges and high up in the air. In the outskirts, look for them hidden on rock walls and hovering over rock hoodoos scattered all over the environment.

Hulk need to smash? There are many destroyable “Division Buildings” in the city. Destroying each of these will yield you a collectable worth 10,000 smash points each … but you only get the reward for destroying each building once.

Finally, there are comic books scattered all over the game. While most of these unlock special/bonus content, 16 of them will reward 10,000 smash points upon being collected. That’ll buy more purple pants than you can eat.

4. Dismember - and Destroy
Larger mech enemies can have sections broken off of them, denying them access to that specific weapon system. This sort of ‘dismemberment’ is essential against larger foes such as the Titan or Destroyer, where they can be effectively kneecapped by taking out the weapons. Use the Air Cannonball, max-charged throws or any Devastator for maximum effect on the weapon modules, then move in for the kill.

5. Gotta Grab Me Some!
Hulk’s mighty mitts can mangle the most massive mechs around. Grapple your opponents with the grab button whenever you can. Once you’ve got you’re opponent by the throat you’re free to deliver some extra-special damage. Finish off by hurling your now-limp baggage at his friend’s head. Use your Smash Points to upgrade your powers so that you can grab opponents on the run or in the air.
