TIPS AND TRICKS

• Bonus Trick on Stage 1: On Stage 1, exoskeletons will sometimes pop up in the foreground. When this occurs, shoot the skull until a CPU appears. Shoot the CPU quickly and you can receive a bonus (points, shield, more energy, plasma cannon, etc.)!
• To kill the skeletons faster, shoot the skull and not the chest. Shooting the chest requires more bullets to kill them.
• As soon as John gets in the truck, start shooting the tires. If you

do this you'll make it to Skynet on your first try.
