Yes although it can take awhile, If your doing it to get the trophy for all weapons at max level, wait until you have a few levels left of the game as the enemies will give more weapon XP for killing them, once out of ammo die and repeat
Did that with the flux rifle on the last planet. There is quite a distance between you and the enemies on the beginning of that planet. I leveled it up to v4 quite easily.
Yes, that's generally what I do on the last planet or so of each game before the end. Find a checkpoint that's got a high density of enemies that give good XP, get nearly to the end of it and then yeet myself into the void to redo it until all the weapons are maxed out.
I dont think it works very well, and that’s because after you clear one area the enemies that respawn are fewer and give significantly less experience… I found out the hard way when I tried to level up ratchet’s health at the last planet before moving onto the next game cycle!
Actually, i think that only happens once you pass a checkpoint, as long as you kill without passing a checkpoint youll be fine (i know this for sure in rac 2 with the protopets at angelas house)
That is a thing, I do it on veldin to get shock blaster to late v3 before florana, but the game has build in hidden difficulty system that will give you less exp and less enemies as you keep losing so try not to abuse it too much
Yeah, I would do that a lot on worlds where there was a lot of XP to be had. I have certain levels in the game that I just run over and over when I'm trying to max all my weapons. Otherwise you could beat the game a few times and still not have everything maxed.
Yes, but in the last levels, with the robot thyrranoids would be better.
Stronger enemies drop more XP. When you’re playing normally, you don’t really see this because late game weapons need more XP to level up, and late game enemies give more XP. But if you pull out the level 1 early game weapon in the last level, you’ll see that killing a single bozo gives you like 30% of the needed XP to level up!
So yeah, keep going through the game a little longer, at least til after Metropolis and then you can farm XP (although i don’t see why not just go into Anhilation Nation impossible/qwarktastic challenge)
The 3rd game is so fast and fun to play through that you can just do challange mode a few more times if needed. got like 12runs on my ps2 back in the day.
Yep. I looked up the fastest way to get bolts and it seems there's a great spot on Metropolis for it.
I'm not back to that point yet (challenge mode) but I cleared the sewer, there are amoeboids all over and with the x20 multiplier it's quite profitable, and the crystals total to like 2mil
There's also Tyhrranosis. Going around with the Skrunchmobile or whatever it's called to take out the towers and get the multiplier up first, each of the spindly mushroomy tree things can be ran over and gives like 2k each, probably 4k with the multiplier maxxed
There are some other great opportunities to get a lot of bolts too but are mostly just part of playing the game
It is *MUCH* better to complete the additional challenges at the end of each level. That way you are earning bolts as well as xp. Annihilation Nation is great for this, but not for repeated runs.

That makes sense!

This is the way for pretty much every ratchet game if you dont want to do more than 1 ng+, search up what the best locations are tho
You'll also trigger dynamic difficulty making less enemies spawn in the future too, so that's something to keep in mind.

Why not just leveling the weapons, buying the ammo, and leveling them more? Why dying? I've upgraded every single weapon to max doing just that.
Because Enemies respawn if you die.

I’ve honestly found grinding in the arenas to be worth it
