JYDGE: Tips & Tricks to Play the Game

Gameplay:

• Hold down the melee button to charge the melee strike, up to 8x damage. You cannot move while charging this attack.
• If you’re playing with mouse + keyboard, you can aim where you want grenades to land.
• Press E when a level starts to skip the intro. This also works after finishing a mission.

Menus:

• Long-press the Restart button to go to the “mission failed” screen. This saves your credits and lets you change gear/loadouts.
• View patch notes by clicking the ( i ) button in the main menu.
• Long-press the Jukebox icon to view a list of tracks.

Loadouts:

• Press SPACE or X on the gamepad to view loadouts, on the metagame or level fail screen.
• Press 1, 2, 3 to switch between them without opening the Loadouts menu. You can do this on the main menu gear screens, and on the level fail screen.

In the game settings, “Low mission medal limits” reduces the medal costs for unlocking new missions, letting you play more levels sooner. It’s not how the game was intended to be played, but some players may prefer to use it.

You can also disable the tiled view in the game settings.

There’s a secret ending if you don’t kill too many civilians. You can half the killed civilians number with Sin Eraser, for $66,666.

Despite its misleading button text, the Sin Eraser collectible actually has two functions: Two half your killed civilians number, AND to let you play New Game Plus!. Click “Reset Sins” to view the options.

Choosing “Erase All Sins” will clear your level progress, effectively letting you play New Game Plus. This takes away all of your medals, but keeps any unlocks you’ve already bought. You will lose access to any that you haven’t bought yet, so make sure you buy everything first. Resetting the game this way is great for earning more credits to buy upgrades, as you can earning medals and open loot containers all over again.
