Auxiliary Items
Auxiliary items appear in certain situations during the game.
There are two types of auxiliary items, items that are put to use and disappear immediately after picking up,
and those that are stocked and continue to be effective over time. The latter type can be used only one at a
time.
Some auxiliary items can be taken advantage of only when combined with certain weapons.
For example, the "Compensator" is effective only when using weapons that produce a bullet spread effect.
The auxiliary items appearing in this game consist of the following 7 types.
First-Aid Kit: Restores 1 life unit.
Dot Sight: Displays the gun's sight reticule as an illuminated point.
Hi-cap
Magazine:
Doubles magazine capacity.
Compensator: Eliminates bullet spread effects.
Body Armour I: Halves the amount of damage taken for up to 2 hits.
Body Armour II: Halves the amount of damage taken for up to 4 hits.
Medal:
Increases experience points acquired following the
game.
[When no IC Card is being used, it boosts the GS Meter.]
Experience Points
Experience points are accumulated during game play when playing with an IC Card.
The amount of experience points accumulated during play are determined by score, GS Meter level, the
number of medals, and game progress. These points are awarded to the player on the Game Results
Screen following the game.
The player is levelled up after reaching a certain experience level. Depending on the level increase, players
are rewarded with promotions and new weapons. Any new weapons can be used from the next play.
[When no IC Card is being used, there are no experience points.]
Rank and Promotion
Ranks serve as a comprehensive evaluation of the player's ability.
If certain conditions are met when levelling up, the player's rank increases by a level. This is referred to as
"promotion".
Promotions open up new costumes and high-level, rare weapons that can be used from the next play.
[When no IC Card is being used, the rank insignia is decided by the player's score.]
