Prototype Cheats & Codes
Prototype Cheats & Codes
Welcome to Manhattan, an island borough of New York City completely overrun by infected beasts and the military men trying to kill them. Oh, you don't know New York City to be so hostile? Well, in Prototype it is, and you're going to have to learn really quickly how to survive, or go down trying. Meet Alex Mercer, the game's main character, a man suffering from a bout of amnesia after waking up to find that he has extraordinary, superhuman powers. With the ability to kill just about anyone simply by running into them, Alex is a force to be reckoned with. And while he might have a bit of an evil slant to him, his adventure revolves around one thing, and one thing only -- finding out what happened to him in the first place.
During your trip to and through Manhattan, you're going to need help, and that's where we come into play. Our Basics section will give you both novice and expert tips on getting through everything Prototype has to offer you in one piece. The Walkthrough section of the guide holds your hand through each and every main quest mission in the game, from beginning to end. The Hint Orbs and Landmark Orbs sections of the guide provide detailed locations of each and every orb in the game, complete with screenshots, descriptions, and even maps. In the Events section of the guide, you can find information on each and every event in the game, with details on achieving gold medals. The Web of Intrigue section covers just that -- the game's intricate Web of Intrigue side quest. In Skills, you can find a rundown on each skill in the game Alex can learn, how much they cost, and specific details on their uses. And finally, the Q&A section of the guide provides users of the guide with an outlet to get their questions answered in public. Submit your questions to us, and look for our responses!
And now, without further ado, we present IGN Guides' offering for Prototype.
Cheat: EXP Exploit
If you are just short of an upgrade (e.g. you have 90k EXP and you need 100k), you can earn the amount you need, purchase an upgrade with EXP, and kill yourself and return to a checkpoint and you'll have both the upgrade and the 90k you had at that checkpoint.
Unlockable: Body Surf
To unlock a new ability called "Body Surf," navigate to the Cheats menu (under "Extras" in the Main Menu) and enter this code: RIGHT, RIGHT, LEFT, DOWN, UP, UP, UP, DOWN
Unlockable: New Game +
Once you beat Story Mode, you'll be able to play through it again with all of your powers and upgrades.
Unlockable: Platinum
Earning a Gold in every event unlocks Platinum Events, which are more difficult.
Unlockable: Secret Story Event
Complete all Scientist Consume events to reveal Karen Parker's location after her disappearance.

Hint: Easy Thermobaric Tank
First you must unlock the Kill Event called "Rolling Thunder," which appears between the East Village and the Lower East Side (one block from the East coast). Right next to the Event is a Thermobaric Tank. Jumping into it will activate the Event, but you can back out of it before the Event begins. Do this correctly and you'll have a free tank. Note: If you exit the tank it or use it to destroy a Hive or Base it will vanish. You can grab it again at the Event point.
Hint: Unlimited EP Exploit
On mission 22/31, where you get the first cell phone cut scene, you'll be asked to jack a Black ops helicopter. Once you have the helicopter, you are prompted to pick up a few Black Ops guys and then destroy a Hive. Do not destroy the Hive!
You now have a helicopter with unlimited missiles, no time limit, and as long as you don't destroy the Hive, you can blow up anything else without it kicking off the alert meter. This also allows you to get out of the helicopter without it ending the mission (useful for collect Memory Strands).
The easiest way to get EP in this is to switch to your Infected Vision and fly around blowing up infected water towers. You can save your game in the middle of this mission if you need a break and do the same thing. You can max out your skills and then some using this exploit.
Hint: Smooth Landing Speed Boost
After jumping, avoid using both of your dashes while airborne and save one to use just before landing. If timed correctly, you should hit the ground at near full speed, which is very useful when attempting to evade the military or during a timed activity. Note: This doesn't work for the highest of drops.
Hint: Mind the Crows
Infected water towers are always circled by squawking crows. This makes it easier to track them down
Hint: Collectible Vision
It's sometimes difficult to spot Landmark and Hint Collectibles. Switch on your Infected Vision (or Thermal Vision) to help discern them.

Hint: Easy "Misconception" Achievement and EP
The "Misconception" Achievement requires you to destroy 25 infected water towers before they hatch. Do this after you get your powers back -- when Ragland helps you -- as there seem to be more of them in abundance. Lock on to one and run up the corresponding building, jump to the roof and use the flying kick attack, causing more than half of the life bar to be depleted. Upon landing, follow up quickly with a combo. To make it a little faster, use the "claws" powers.
Later in the game this becomes even easier. Just hijack a helicopter, fly over infected areas and keep tapping the target button until you target a water tower (or helicopter or Hive) and fire away.
The "Friendly Fire" and "Projectiles" Kill Events as both have helicopters sitting next to the Event markers, so grab those and exit the event for a free 'copter.

Hint: Final Boss Strategy
After the cut scene ends, quickly switch to Armor and Blade (Infected Vision also helps). Stay away from your opponent until he starts to jump after you. When he lands, hit him with the Air Blade Slash. Get in a couple of good hits and he should be stunned. Grab him and repeatedly hit the PUNCH button. If he knocks you down to critical, use a Devastator move to stun him.
Hint: Orb Collecting XP Rewards
You'll receive XP for each Orb you pick up. That value is based on how many Orbs you've collected. These values are given below in addition to the one-time bonuses you get for reaching certain Orb collection milestones.

Hint: Flourish Move
Once you purchase a power in Prototype and have it set as a shortcut move, you can then hold down the shortcut button to do a flourish move with the power. It's a unique, if useless, animation.
