| Kills | 100% | |

| Avoid Detection | 100% | |
| Description: In the single player game, there are 2 locations where stealth is needed. One is when you pretend you are a businessman and the other is when you have to pretend to be a scientist. To make it easier to avoid detection from guards or other pedestrians, always look down or away from people. No one will learn your identity until you look them in the face. | ||

| Getting Items | 100% | |
| Description: When low on energy, kill worker doctors and even Red Faction men to pick up more health and Environment Suits. When Hendrix first starts talking to you, go down the catwalk away from the APC. There should be a tunnel that leads to a miner and guard fighting. Shoot that guard then shoot the one at the elevator. Stand in front of the elevator and face the wall behind it. Look up slightly to see a hole. Enter the hole and at the end is a pond or lake. At the bottom of the pond is a miner's body, health, and an Environment Suit. When Hendrix first starts talking to you, go down the catwalk away from the APC.

| Saving Ammunition | 100% | |
| Description: When you have remote explosives, do not use up ammo for your other weapons. It only takes one to a few remote explosives to take out enemies. When you start the game and get to the part where you see the four troopers and the enemy APC, throw a bomb down by the APC. Detonate it and the bomb will blow a huge hole in the ground. If done correctly, the APC will fall in and explode when it hits bottom. Take advantage of the geo-modification of this game. This also works with groups of enemy soldiers. | ||

| Badlands: Bottom of Level | 100% | |
| Description: In this level, there are natural bridges over a giant pit which if you fall, you will usually die. Use the following trick to get to the bottom without dying. This will be difficult if you have more than 2 bots. It is recommended that you try this alone 1st. Find the rocket launcher that is next to a bridge. Go on the bridge and face the flat wall that leads to the bottom. At a 45 degree angle, start blowing holes downwards until you have almost reached the bottom. You now have to jump and try to make it into the 1st hole you created. You will lose some health here from the fall. Once you are there, go backwards out of the hole and slowly drop down to the next hole. Repeat this pattern until you get to the bottom. Save at least 1 rocket so you can kill yourself -- the bots will not be able to get to you. This is difficult to do when playing against bots because of them shooting at you. Set the timer to 30 minutes. Take a lot of weapons such as the Rail Driver and the Sniper Rifle with you. Start blowing up the natural bridges from the bottom. Do not do it completely, but just enough to watch all the bots plunge to their deaths. | ||

| Blasted Canyon: Sniper Hole | 100% | |
| Description: You will start in 1 of the 2 blue boxes on the sides. Use a rocket launcher to tunnel down. Take about 2 shots in the back, then down about 2 to 3 shots. After that, just shoot out the walls in front (that the windows on the blue gate objects are) until you see light. Peek out and you can see the level below your box. *** You may die a few times before accomplishing this. In multi-player mode, select the Blasted Canyon level. When the game starts, look out onto the field and turn right at the wall. Get a rocket launcher and begin blasting the wall. Soon it will be large enough for you too fit in. Get inside, look down, and shoot a rocket (killing yourself). When you go back in, you should be under the floor. Begin blasting out some of the rock under the floor (killing yourself in the process.) After awhile you will have a cave under the floor. If you wish to make a sniper point, blast (under the floor) towards the field. You will soon see light, in which case you should blast open more until you can see the field. *** Always bring a rocket launcher down with you, in the event you get stuck there is no getting out. | ||

| Feeding Area: Reach Next Level | 100% | |
| Description: When walking through the Feeding Area, go to the edge of the cliff. Look down and you will see ice. You will not be able to jump down. However, blow another hole in the ice closest to the edge, and then jump off. You will be in the water and in the next level. | ||

| Feeding Area: Secret Fusion Rocket Launcher | 100% | |
| Description: At the Feeding Area where you 1st encounter the Riepers, in the very expansive cavern look into the 2nd grotto the little Rieper comes out of. Stick a mining charge, throw a grenade, and launch a rocket. These should at least partly reveal a secret passage. Follow it. After the loading screen, you will now be with "The Artifact". Go onto the piece of land supported in the middle of the cave and stand there a few seconds. Eventually, a message will read "Picked up fuel canister". Rarely this will actually be a fuel canister for the flame thrower, but it will usually be a Fusion Rocket Launcher. This is useful for Capek, but you can save it for anything else you need to vaporize. | ||

| Installation XJ5: Hidden Pit | 100% | |
| Description: In the deathmatch Installation XJ5, you can get outside to the pit. Grab the rocket launcher and jump down, then turn left. Note the archway above. Blast a hole in the wall below the doorway and start building a tunnel straight to the open window. Just going to the archway above and blasting around the window does not work due to an invisible wall. Once you make the tunnel all the way through, you can look down into the pit below, If you drop down, you will always die. Turn to the left or right and blast a hole big enough to jump into (make the hole on the outside of the wall). Jump into the hole, then make another hole directly in front of you but down slightly. Now that you have made another hole, jump into it. Make sure the hole is not too far down, or you will die from the fall. Repeat this process until you have reached the bottom of the pit. *** It is next to impossible to get back up once you are down there. | ||

| Lobby: Secret Roof Area | 100% | |
| Description: Go to the 2nd level of the Lobby multi-player level and grab the rocket launcher. Walk over to the edge of the balcony and start shooting up towards the wall facing the lobby itself. After enough shots you will dig a tunnel to the roof. Walk through and jump right up. You can shoot out the glass and snipe people down on the 2nd level. There also is a Fusion Rocket Launcher that you can grab. | ||

| Lobby: Hidden Items | 100% | |
| Description: Go to the 4 corners on the 1st level of the lobby after you have obtained the rocket launcher in the muti-player level. Use the rocket launcher on the 4 corners to find health, enviorsuits, a fusionrocket, a flame thrower, and a rail driver. | ||

| Mercs Base: Entering | 100% | |
| Description: After the crash site, you will follow a system of tunnels and ridges filled with enemies (most with heavy machine guns, some with fusion rockets and rail drivers). When you meet the Red Faction miner in the caves, he will say that he will watch your back. At this time you will follow a tall tunnel to a bridge -- you do not want to be on the bridge. Between the miner and the bridge is a turn off that leads to a catwalk going over the bridge. Kill the 2 guards and follow the catwalk until it stops at a hole in the wall. Jump from the catwalk into the hole and follow it until you get the grenades. Use them to kill the turrets and the fusion rocket carrying guard on the other side of the large rock by the grenades. This saves time and health you would have spent trying to fight the guard and the turrets. | ||

| The Shooting Gallery: Avoiding Damage | 100% | |
| Description: When nearing the end of the game in single player mode, you will have to catch the tram to proceed to the next area. The tram is located immediately after "The Shooting Gallery." In order to avoid fighting most of the guards, equip the Heavy Machine Gun. Next, proceed down the track towards the small door to the left. Inside, kill the guard. Once the other guards stop rushing in and shooting at you, collect the health vial (just behind the desk), dash out of the room, head towards the front right side corner of the train, and duck down immediately. This will prevent gun fire from hitting your character. Stay ducked down until the loading screen appears. | ||

| Roof: Secret Area | 100% | |
| Description: Get up to the roof easily by looking for the side with a slant. On the 2nd level, shoot about 3 to 4 shots to the wall next to the slant. Once on the roof, find the area with the glass. Get to the back wall so you are looking at the glass, where it slants, then run at it. As soon as you hit the slant, jump. This is difficult to accomplish. However, when you are up, you can jump from the top to the small bridge-like place on the side. Make sure you do not stand on the glass to avoid someone shooting it and causing you to fall. From this height you will lose about 60 health from dropping off. | ||

| Warlords: Suicide Hole & Sniper | 100% | |
| Description: Get on top of the roof of a bunker (where the fusion rocket launcher is located). Start blowing out holes in the wall in front, so you can get in. Keep taking out the wall with your mini-rocket launcher at a slant. After a while, you can turn right with your gun and take out the wall so you can see the light -- this takes some time. After you can see the light, look down. Usually you are high up. Jump off to make your self road kill, or take a sniper rifle up and take out opposing players. You can get so high up, that when you look up from the ground the hole will actually be over the cliff and not even on the level. If you get up this high, you can see the map plus cloud-like objects. Do not fall down or you will go into an eternal fall. When this high, your guns will have unlimited ammunition -- hold the fire button to see your gun fire a lot. | ||

| Waste Disposal: Kills | 100% | |
| Description: In multi-player mode on the Waste Disposal level, swim down under the platform to find a fusion rocket. You can also use mines to blow holes under the doors into the hallway. When bots come by, they will fall into the water for an easy kill. | ||

| Multi-player mode: Bottleneck Sniper Positions (Foxhole) | 100% | |
| Description: This trick works very well against bots and players alike. For example, in the DM level "XJ5", there is the grated walkway where the rail driver is on the upper floor. Go down the other end (the one close to the hallway by the Envirosuit armor), and blow a hole in the floor near the grate large enough to get in and duck down inside. Be careful -- if you do it too close to the grated catwalk, then it will also break part of the bottleneck off and expose you from the outer wall, being that it was blown out from the blast. From here, you can use any type of bullet-using weapon with ease. The rail driver is recommended, as it will allow you to duck down in the hole, giving you cover from most of the players/bots, but allowing you to fire at them through the floor/ceiling. This trick also works very well when you back yourself up against an indestructable wall, so you have a full peripheral view of 180 degrees all around, with no danger of being back attacked. | ||

| Secret Fishing Holes | 100% | |
| Description: When you 1st start a new game, go to the 1st hole on your left and go to the end of it. There will be a small hole where you will be able to see into. Go forward in the game and get a rocket launcher or mines and return. You will be able to get in the hole, swim, and shoot the fish down inside. Go out over the pit where there is a group of guards and the tank that will shoot at you if you do not blow up the bridge. Go down the tunnel and it will lead to a open area, where after you kill all the guards, an elevator will come down. Immediately above the elevator is hole that is difficult to see. Go left of the elevator, go up the hill, and go into the hole. It will lead you around until you get to a large open room with a lot of water with fish, bats flying around the roof, plants on the wall, and a dead miner at the bottom (where there will also be Extra Life and Extra Body Armor). | ||

| Secret Areas | 100% | |
| Description: Immediately after Parker pops Capek's nano-tech shield (during an intermission sequence), you will follow a trail. When you reach the area where a dead guard is on the ground, look to the right. Note the small hole where it looks as though a small animal could fit through. Get an explosive and blow a hole big enough to fit through. Enter it to reach a room. Jump to the center then jump up and down to get a fuel canister and fusion rocket launcher. When you enter the room immediately after you use the jet to transport Gryphon go to the center room you will see a huge Modulation Droid. Run and dodge the bullets and missiles. Look around the room to find ladders all around leading to the top of the ceiling. Climb the ladders and get to the top. Now, look around to find boxes all around. Go to the boxes and walk into each of them on every side. You will get a lot of ammunition, health, and Enviro-suit repair kits. This should prepare you for the Modulation Droid. When you take the elevator down to Level 17, stop on the 2nd ladder. Climb upwards slightly higher than the room below. Look to your right, and you will see a tunnel. Jump in and proceed through it. You will find a section of little cliffs in which you can get a sniper rifle and an assault rifle. | ||
