Black Hints, Tips

Silver weapons

Successfully complete the game under the normal or hard difficulty settings. All guns will now be silver and have unlimited ammunition. Note: The silver weapons will only be available for the difficulty setting you have completed and any lower difficulty settings. This does not include the Black Ops difficulty setting. You will always have silver weapons on that setting.

Black Ops difficulty setting

Successfully complete the game on the hard difficulty setting.

M16A2

Successfully complete the game under the Black Ops difficulty setting to unlock the M16A2 (M16 with grenade launcher) for use on any difficulty setting.

Hint: Faster M16A2 reload

With the M16A2 in Black Ops mode. the lag-time on the reload for the grenade launcher is long. Immediately after you shoot a round, switch weapons then switch back quickly and it will be reloaded for you.

Hint: Quick suppresser set

When you are in the middle of putting a suppresser on your weapon and enemies appear, fire and the suppresser with be on with your weapon going instantly into firing position.

Hint: No blur on reload

To get rid of the blur when you reload, press X to reload then immediately hold Square.

Hint: Defeating enemies

Use destructive objects to your advantage to shock, hurt or even kill your enemies.

Hint: Defeating enemies with shields and body armor

There is no real secret to use with enemies with full body armor. Head shots will not work; just shoot. For enemies with shields, use grenades or RPGs. Or, get behind them and kill them by shooting them in the back.

Hint: Defeating RPG troopers

Whenever you encounter an RPG trooper, the easiest way to take them out to is to wait until they fire a round (pop out then hides behind something). While they are reloading, shoot at his midsection. If successful, you will shoot and detonate the RPG he is trying to reload, blowing him up.

Hint: Spetriniv Gulag: Unlimited grenades

Wait until the door closes then turn to the right. Run straight to the staircase on the right-hand side. At the top of this staircase is a small room with a box of grenades. If you pick up this box and use all the grenades that you were given, it will reappear instantly. This can repeated as many times as desired by tossing grenades all over the room. The only enemies you will have to worry about are the ones on the top railing.

Hint: Vratska Dockyard: Rocket launcher

Once you get to the part where someone with a rocket launcher shoots at you from a ship tower, blow him up. Go down by the bottom of the ship. On the side of the steps, you will be asked to switch weapons for an RPG.

Hint: Recommended weapons

The Magnum kills in one shot where ever it hits, unless your target is one of the men carrying shotguns with masks and full body armor.

Hint: Save health and ammunition

If your temporarily low on health and ammunition, take the time to shoot everybody in the head. This usually brings them down in one shot and helps keep you alive. Because there is a smaller chance of you being killed by others if you do this, you will not need to repeat the level from the checkpoint and have to kill everyone again.

Hint: Aurora stealth plane reference

In the first mission, under any difficulty level other than easy, you can destroy Intel as a secondary objective. One of those Intel-containing laptops once destroyed holds information on an "Experimenting aircraft code named "Aurora"." The "Aurora" is supposedly a real, yet secret, aircraft. Most of the Intel is real or based on real world information.

Hint: Burnout reference

During the final battle there is a safe (one of the secondary objective items) on the left walkway. If you destroy the safe, a message similar to "'You have destroyed Secret Burnout Renders" will appear.
