Weapons are an important element of the game. As they are improved, you will have more ammunition and stronger fire power. Upgrade whenever possible for better mission success. They can be purchased through the Pox-Mart on your saucer with DNA points. Earn these points by completing story missions, odd jobs and destroying humans.
Crypto’s mental abilities (Psychokinesis, Cortex Scan, Body Snatch, Time Stop, and Temporal Fist) work well with his personal weapons to defeat enemies. During the game, a mysterious voice tells Crypto that he must follow the “Path of Enlightenment” to upgrade his skills. First, use the abilities as much as possible during game play. Then go to the “Meditation Chamber” located on your saucer. Press the green “A” button to enter the room. If your skills are high enough for a particular ability, you can “meditate” to upgrade.
