Cheats:
Easy XP:
Play on the Security Tower map in Freeplay Mode, with 1-on-1 settings (Team Size should be set to 1, as should Max Team Size). Start as a Resistance member of the Soldier class. Blow the door to access the next mission objective, then change to the Operative class. Head toward the safe you are supposed to hack, and make sure not to be killed by the security agent. When that security agent/engineer tries to remove your hack box, position yourself on the opposite side of the glass. If you're positioned properly, your adversary will spray ineffectively and you will gain XP, due to the "hacking" and "guarding" functions you are performing. As long as you aren't positioned too close to the safe, you'll be stuck in a stalemate with your opponent and will earn XP the entire time. Then when you're ready, move closer to the safe to complete the mission and receive your points.
Using Heavy Guns on Smaller Body Types:
To use a heavy gun with a small body type, first, change to a heavy body type.
Choose a gun (make sure it's exactly how you want it as you cannot edit it
afterward). Pick any gun of any weight. Now do the same for your secondary. Now
make it your default weapon and go change back into a medium/light body type.
Your default guns will stay the same, but your body will not, thus, when you
play matches, you can have a light body type with a gatling gun.
