Constant VS fire In order to do this trick you must have a VS with two empty arms as well as two Gatlin guns. Attach both guns to each side of the VS and fire only one of the guns a few times. Then, start firing the second gun. If done correctly, one of the guns will reload while the other is firing and repeat, causing the guns to never stop firing until you run out of bullets or manually reload. This works well against any Akrid Boss, especially the one in Mission 05.

Crossing The Plains: Defeating the giant worm Gather as much thermal energy as possible before you fight the worm. To get more thermal energy, destroy the surrounding heat tankards and activate the outpost. If you need more thermal energy, just kill the surrounding flying Akrid and their spawn points. Get a sled VS and attach either a rocket launcher or gatling gun (recommended). Ride it just to the entrance of the Snow Plain. If you ride it any further the worm will knock you off and destroy the VS. Once you get off the sled VS, take off the weapon you brought with you. The gatling gun is recommended because if you miss you can adjust your aim and keep shooting him unlike the rocket launcher. Wait until he emerges from the snow and be ready for him to either growl or charge at you. If he charges and hits you, you are dead. You can either roll to the left or right. After the roll aim at his sides and you will see several weak points. Shoot at them until they explode and reveal a reddish boil. Continue to do this until they are all gone then switch sides. Once he is hurt enough he may start shooting flaming balls that explode from his backside. Be ready to evade them. Once again you will see more weak points. Do the same thing as done with his head side and he will eventually die. When he dies he will leave behind a large deposit of thermal energy. The worm will re-appear no matter how many times you kill it. Also the achievement for killing it will not appear until you complete the level.
Getting rid of pursuers If you have alot of Akrid or other things after you while riding the sled VS press L1 to do a boost jump. While riding around you can also jump snow piles and get air.
Defeating the giant moth First, gather up as much thermal energy as possible. On your way up the mountain make sure to destroy all of the Akrid hives. Get the rocket launcher on the metal slab jutting out of the mountain. You can also grab the large VS laser if you want a back up. Next, climb to the top of the mountain but do not go into the cave. Stand at the top and wait for the moth to fly over you. Aim at the orange weak spots then shoot the tail part with your rocket launcher about two times. After the tail falls off do the same to the wings. A few more weak spots should appear near the top of his head. These are easier to hit with a charged laser shot. When the moth crashes into the side of the mountain the achievement will not appear. However you will bet it after you complete the mission.
Taunting When online you can taunt people by pressing Start and the D-pad. Three of the taunts are the same for all the characters in almost the same way. However the fourth taunt is different.
