Condemned: Criminal Origins
Cheat mode
Enter ” ShovelFighter ” as a case-sensitive profile name to unlock all levels and additional content usually unlocked through earning achievements.
Sprinting
Sprinting is not that useful on stairs; save it for level surfaces.
Guns
It is best to save all guns for fights against multiple enemies or an exceptionally tough enemy. Particularly weak enemies can be finished off with a combination of the Taser and kicks instead.
Big melee weapons
To use big melee weapons effectively, practice hanging back, then veering ahead far enough to hit your enemy with your weapon. Then, drift back. This makes the most of your weapons’ superior reach and keeps you away from your opponents’ faster weapons.
Strategic dropping
Drop important weapons and tools near distinctive objects or in easy-to-find spots. By doing this, you will not have to search for them later.
