Ratchet and Clank: Before the Nexus Tips And Tricks

Ratchet and Clank: Before the Nexus is the first mobile entry of the Ratchet and Clank series, which has always been a Sony exclusive.

In recent times Sony has started embracing the mobile market rather than fighting it, seeing it as an oppurtunity to give better gaming experiences on its own consoles.

Ratchet and Clank: Before the Nexus is an endless runner platform that’s incredibly well done. Gamers also playing Ratchet and Clank: Into The Nexus on PlayStation 3 will have more reasons to get the mobile game, as some collectibles found in the iOS game can be transferred in the PS3 game.

The following tips and tricks will help you enjoy Ratchet and Clank: Before the Nexus more than before. Let’s not waste any more time: time to get down to business.

Getting the Shotgun

The first thing you should know right after getting used to game’s mechanics is that your default Constructo Pistol isn’t the best weapon to use in the game. One of the best weapons to have is the Constructo Shotgun, which features better range and spread.

Getting Ammo

Managing your Ammo is a very important part of the gameplay experience, especially if you’re one of those gamers that doesn’t want to get interrupted in his killing spree.
