A. T-Eng is Thermal Energy. Wayne has a Harmonize which will collect Thermal Energy, and restore his life gauge as he is wounded, attacked, or freezing. You may gather T-Eng, from killing Akrid, or blowing up vehicles, vital suits and fuel tanks.

Q. What are Target Marks?
A. Target Marks are bonus items to find in each mission, and unlock a secret achievement. Each target mark is a letter which will spell out a word. Check the “Missions” section for Target Mark locations. *Note* Target Marks will be found in slightly different locations depending on difficulty. * I suggest playing on easy or normal mode when hunting down these Target Marks, this guide will list the location of TM’s on normal difficulty. Check out Nevada and Ace’s guide for locations on “easy” difficulty.

Q. What is a VS.

A. A VS is a Vital Suit. Vital Suits are the “Mech”-like vehicles original used for colonization of E.D.N. III, and operated as war machines through the games story and multiplayer. Some weapon mounts may be detached from a VS and operated as individual use. *Note such use will slow down mobility and you will be unable to switch weapons until you ditch the VS mount.

Q. What are hidden objects and how do I get them?

A. Most maps will have some hidden weapons lying around. Some are only partially hidden. However to get them out, get to the object, and hit B repeatedly to uncover it.

Q. What is a Data Post?

A. A Data Post is mostly a battlefield information center. By activating a Data Post you can replenish T-Eng, and a yellow beam will point you in your destination. The Data Post also shows more of the map on the PDA.

Q. How do I “fix” the crosshair into a “locked” position?

A. There are 2 ways to fix the crosshair. In the Main Menu select “Options”>Game Settings>Aiming> and select “Fixed”

Or in a game hit the “Back” button Settings> Aiming>Fixed.

Q. I killed the Giant Worm (Undeep)/ or Giant Moth (Windega), and still did not get the achievement, why?

A. After killing either of these Akrid in a level, you must fully complete the level to receive the achievement.

Q. How do I save the game?
A. The game saves after completing each level, and at each checkpoint. Do no turn off the game/console unless you have reached a new checkpoint or else you will loose all data between such a time and the previous check point.
