Avoiding snipers in Ripostes Primer
At the beginning of the mission when you rescue the ambassador, sweep the area. Once it is clear, walk up the path. When you reach the stairs, go up to the top, then turn right and walk. You will see a patch of grass and a tree. Keep going straight and you will reach a dead end. Look to the left and you will see a secret passage. Go through, and when you get to the other side there will be a guard. Kill him and move stealthily. The two snipers on the roof will not notice you there. Take them out, then continue your mission.
Sick raider in Heart Of The Fist
When you find the third crate of the ship’s cargo, there is an outhouse next to the tent. If you stand in front of the door you can hear a raider complaining about the soup he ate.
Shoot rocket while running
Open the weapons inventory and have your primary weapon equipped. While your inventory is open, scroll to your RPG/AT-4. When this is highlighted, press X then Square almost at the same time. If done correctly, you should be able to run and shoot rockets out of your primary weapon (for example, assault rifle, sniper rifle, or machine gun).
Floating gun
Have all of the following: rocket launcher, sniper rifle, pistol, and binoculars. Take out the rocket launcher, click the weapons menu, and select the binoculars. Then, switch to the sniper rifle with the menu. Your gun should now be floating and your character should be firing the rocket launcher.
Funny comments
Play the mission where you have to escort a friendly and get information from villagers. Once you get the information from the second person, silently kill all terrorists in that village. Then, sneak up on the outhouse and sit in front of it. After about thirty seconds you should hear a terrorist scream “Oh God — how can you be constipated and have diarrhea at the same time?”. Additionally, if you wait long enough at the overview briefing of any mission, Fireteam will begin to make fun of the mission or those involved.
