Wanted: Secret Codes
Having trouble finding all the secret codes in Wanted: Weapons of Fate? No problem. We’ve got it covered. I had a tough time tracking down all the codes too. Then I realized I could figure them all out by systematically coding every letter of the alphabet into binary then inputting it as a potential code; kind of how the Loom of Fate works, but in reverse. Sure, it may not have been as sporting as hunting down every code in the DVD and comic books, but it worked. Altogether the 13-letter code spells out LOomTargetCDW. I’m not sure what it means, but at least it spells out something. Anyway, you could probably care less about that. So here’s all the codes:
01001100: Health Improvement
When input, this code reduces the amount of damage Wesley/Cross takes when shot.
01001111: Super Weapons
This code boosts the damage of all weapons fired.
01101111: Unlimited Ammo
Always running out of bullets? Try inputting this code.
01101101: Unlimited Adrenaline
With this enhancement activated you never run out of adrenaline, no matter how sloppy you are with your curved bullets.
01010100: Play as Cross
Unlocks Cross as a playable character. Use this code and defeat The Immortal to earn the Between Old Friends achievement/trophy. Make sure you’re playing on The Killer difficulty.
01100001: Play with Special Suit
Allows you to play through any level wearing the Killer’s suit.
01110010: One Shot One Kill
Every bullet you fire is lethal when this gameplay enhancement is active, so there’s no need to go for headshots.
01100111: Headshot Mode
In Headshot Mode you must score a certain amount of headshots in each section before proceeding to the next section of a level.
01100101: Close Combat Mode
Like Headshot Mode, in Close Combat Mode you must kill multiple enemies with melee attacks in order to proceed.
01110100: Cinematic Mode
Activate this in the options menu. Every curved bullet hit is tracked by the camera.
01000011: Play As Wesley
This code is needed to earn the Heart Breaker achievement/trophy when defeating Araña on The Killer difficulty.
01000100: Play As Janice/Use 1001000 in DVD
This one unlocks Janice (Wesley’s ex-boss) as a playable character and provides a second code (1001000) to be input into the DVD.
01010111: Play as Airplane Bodyguard
Unlocks the Bodyguard as a playable character.
Cover Chaining Mode: By blind firing at an enemy you enter cover chaining mode, effectively making you invisible. Continue blind firing until a white shine effect appears around the outer edges of the screen. This indicates you’re in cover chaining mode. While this mode is active, you can move from one piece of cover to the next without being seen. However, stay in cover the whole time; the second you pull out of cover, the chaining mode is lost and the enemies will turn and open fire on your position. Cover chaining is a great way to move in close and eliminate your target with a knife attack. If you’re close enough, you can often perform a knife kill while in cover mode, indicated by a white knife icon that appears in the center of the screen.
Adrenaline: Adrenaline is required to fire curved bullets and perform other special attacks. It can be earned by killing enemies. One kill with your pistol equals one unit of adrenaline; knife kills earn you two units. The bullet icon(s) in the top right corner of the screen indicate how much adrenaline you have stored. Each icon turns red as you earn more adrenaline.
Curving Bullets: Need to take out a hostile hiding behind cover? No problem. Simply curve a bullet around or over their piece of cover. Initiate the attack with the console-dependent button press. This cause a red line to appear connecting to the target’s red silhouette. This line represents the bullet’s trajectory. When it’s red, it means that there’s an obstruction preventing the bullet from reaching the target. Move the left analog stick to adjust the bullet’s trajectory, curving it over or around obstructions. When the line and target’s silhouette turn white, you have a clear shot. Release the button to fire. For best results, always try to fire curved bullets vertically. This is the best way to score lethal headshots.
