Brute Force Cheats (Xbox)

For some odd reason, characters regenerate their special energy faster when they're
crouching.

Once you beat the game on Brutal, you can find cowboy hats hidden on every level. Don the
hat to have a Western flavor, and boost your skills.

Here are the new characters and the missions you have to beat to get them:

  Confederate Marine: DNA sequence in Mission 1 or Mission 6 
  Feral Colonist: DNA sequence in Mission 2 
  Feral Outcast: DNA sequence in Mission 3 
  Feral Shaman: DNA sequence in Mission 9 
  Fire Hound: DNA sequence in Mission 13 
  Gunthar Ghent: DNA sequence in Mission 10
  Hunter Lord: DNA sequence in Mission 18
  McTavish: DNA sequence in Mission 14 
  Militia: DNA sequence in Mission 5 or Mission 11 
  Outcast Shaman: DNA sequence in Mission 7 
  Seer Follower: DNA sequence in Mission 4 
  Seer Priest: DNA sequence in Mission 8 
  Shadoon: DNA sequence in Mission 12 
  Shrike Heavy: DNA sequence in Mission 16 
  Shrike Hound: DNA sequence in Mission 17 
  Shrike Soldier: DNA sequence in Mission 15

At the mission select screen, you'll see four spots for medals.  The first three spots are
filled when you beat the mission on Standard, Hard and Brutal.  The fourth is filled when
you find the hidden DNA sequence.  If you've completed all objectives and killed all
enemies, the medal will be gold.  If not, it will be silver.

If you don't have anyone you can play with and you are forced to do this yourself, you can
have a relatively easier time (and save ammo) by simply using Hawk (the Assassin) to kill
one or two enemies while cloaked, then retreating to regenerate energy, then doing this
over and over until you need the really heavy firepower of your AI buddies.

In order to achieve 100 percent completion on a mission, you have to play on the Brutal
difficulty setting.  Complete all primary and secondary objectives, kill every single
enemy and find the hidden DNA sequence.  Also, you can't allow any of your teammates to
die.

One of the reasons you should have a buddy or two to play this game is to force the
computer to let the other players play the Colonial Marine in the initial few stages
before the whole team is completed.

The Colonial Marine acts as a stand-in for the other three Brute Force Squad Members, and
has a one-use special ability (Ion Cannon). The only way to recharge this weapon is to die
(as the Marine) and respawn.

Here's a little cheat to regenerate your teammates.  If you're on your last guy, insert
another three controllers into your Xbox and press start.  As new players join, your
teammates will be brought back to life.  Now just quit out of the three games you just
opened and you'll go back to single player mode, but your teammates will remain.
