Anything newcomers to Killzone Mercenary need to know before it becomes free for PS+ subscribers next tuesday?

As a massive Killzone fan with nearly 100 hours in and the platinum trophy, I can probably answer your questions.

trophies

Nothing too special here, the 10,000 kill one is a bit of a grind and you might want to use a guide for the barnacle one, but not too bad.

trivia

not much, other than the final boss fight and the Killzone 2 final boss happen within a few hours of each other IIRC. You can also very minor spoiler? which I though was hilarious

Tips

I really don't want to do a huge write up, but here are a few various tips:

  • Buy Botzone. Immidiately. It's a fantastic addition for $2.50

  • You are going to realize pretty quick that some guns and abilities etc. are much better than others. Take note because that stuff will dominate the multiplayer.

  • Most importantly, don't give up when playing multiplayer. Killzone games are notorious for their brutal difficulty curve, so expect to get your ass kicked for a while.

  • All your money and weapons are shared between the campaign and Multiplayer. Play some single player first and get in the swing of things before jumping into MP. You'll have some better gear.

  • For fucks sake, if you play "Warzone" multiplayer, play the objectives, revive downed/stunned teammates, and be a team player. Nobody likes idiots.

  • In fact, in general, don't be a dick!

secrets

If you put in the konami code at the menu screen, absolutely nothing happens!

bugs

There were a lot of glitches in the multiplayer for about a year, but most got patched in the huge update. (I was one of the first people if not the first to find the notorious shoreline glitch I'msosorry )

If you have any other questions feel free to ask!
