Resistance skill point guide

In Resistance: Fall of Man, much like the Ratchet & Clank games, you can earn skill points by fulfilling various hidden gameplay objectives. The actual objectives are hidden throughout the game, and only reveal themselves once you’ve accidentally pulled one o🌟ff.

By getting sꦺkill points, you can gradually unlock various extras:

  • 10 SP: Concept Art Pack 1
  • 20 SP: Concept Art Pack 2
  • 40 SP: Resistance Behind the Scenes documentary
  • 70 SP: Flip Levels
  • 100 SP: Clank Backpacks
  • 126 SP: Mechanic Skin

General Skill Points

You can receive these skill points at any time,✱ in any level.

1) In for a penny

(1 SP): Kill three Hybrids with a single thrown grenade; the 40mm attachment to the M5A2 won’t do💛 the trick. Frankly, if you don’t get this by complete accident, y🦋ou’re doing something wrong.

2) Fetch

(2 SP): Kill a H🀅owler with a grenade. Fortunately, this doesn’t say what kind of grenade, so you can stick a Fuel-Air grenade 🌠to it and call it a day.

3) Acupuncture is cheaper

(2 SP): Kill three enemies at once with a Hedgehog Grenade. This is eas♛y🥂 to do in Manchester.

4) Why are these candles?

(3 SP): Kill eight Hybrids with fire within 20 seconds. There are parts of the game where a f🌱ew well-placed fuel-air grenades could potentially accomplish this, such as the Hybrid-choked tunnels in Somerset. It might be easier to𝐆 do this after beating the game, however, so you can use the Dragon.

5) Lovely parting gifts

(2 SP): Squat over 15 dead Hybrids. Th🐠is hilarious yet tasteless act of dominance can be accomplished very early in the game. The only difficulty you ๊might encounter is in losing count. Simply walk over a dead Hybrid’s face and press the crouch button.

6) Tag, you’re it

(2 SP): Kill five enemies with the Bullseye in 30 seconds. This doesn’t indicate what enemy you should go after, thankfully, so you can earn it easil🥂y by using the Bullseye to repulꦕse a swarm of Crawlers.

7) Gasping for air

(3 SP): Kill two Hybrids in a given level only after severing all of their hoses. This will require either stealth or a couple of lucky shots; it’s easy to go all the way through Resistance without ൩even realizing you can deliberately sever Hybrids’ hoses. On higher difficulty levels, try shooting a single Hybrid in the knees to stagger it, then put a few rounds into its back while it’s on the ground.

8) Nowhere to hide

(3 SP): Kill five enemies in a given level by shooting throu💯gh a wall with the Auger. This is harder than it sounds, as a wall slows down the Auger’s fire. The best way to accomplish this may be to wait until a stage with quite a few slow-moving Menials, such as the giant domed Chimera structures in Somerset, draw them towards you, and fire througܫh ground clutter to knock them out.

9) Twirly whirly

(3 S⛦P)🐠: Kill five Menials with the Bullseye trap. An easy accomplishment.

10) Turrets

(3 SP): Kill six enemies with 𒉰the Chimeran sentry gun. You&rsquo🐬;ll have many opportunities in Somerset.

11) Mechanical thumbs

(5 SP): Successfully complete the game on the Hard difficulty setting. Good luck. You’ll nee🧔d it.
