[. . . ] Neo can dual-wield some firearms, such as pistols, using one in each hand for double the firing action. When using firearms in this way, the items are "stacked" in the inventory -- two firearms are stored in the same inventory slot and their ammunition is divided equally between them. When both weapons run out of ammunition, they are both tossed away and the inventory slot is emptied. Grenades of the same type are also stackable. For example, you can carry several fragmentation grenades in the same inventory slot and use them one at a time. Mastering all of Neo's abilities in the Matrix is the key to success. When Neo frees his mind, he unlocks the ability to move faster, run on walls and defy gravity. As Neo progresses in power, he unlocks even more abilities. Neo doesn't have to. FOCUS Neo bends the rules of the Matrix by using the powers of Focus. To use Focus, press [Shift] when performing actions such as hand-tohand combat, running and jumping. Focus increases the speed and effectiveness of nearly every action and allows you to utilize Neo's special abilities. Neo will spring off the wall and drive through the enemy's defenses. Code Vision Neo can look past the illusion of the Matrix and see the world as a sea of shimmering, green code. This allows Neo to see through walls and locate enemies, allies and useful items. Press [C] to toggle Code Vision ON/OFF. Dodging Bullets Neo can free his mind to the point where his experience in the Matrix slows to a crawl, allowing him to dodge bullets. At first, Neo gains the ability to acrobatically dodge out of harm's way. Combine Focus [Shift] with Evade [Ctrl] while moving to make Neo perform this feat. Later, this ability evolves into the power to stop bullets with a wave of the hand and even reflect them back at attackers. Flight When Neo becomes the One, the hacker formerly known as Thomas Anderson is free from the limitations of gravity. With this ability, press and hold Jump [Space] to make Neo glide upward in short bursts. In some situations, you can press [Space] to charge forward and attack while flying. 22 23 PON_PC_ManInt 9/26/05 2:37 PM Page 24 THE PATH OF THE ONE ALLIES & NPCs Throughout the game, Neo will fight alongside other Rebels, receive instructions from his ship's Operator and interact with civilians still trapped in the Matrix. Neo must always protect his fellow Rebels from harm. Here is a partial list of the Rebels that Neo will encounter: Morpheus is Captain of the Nebuchadnezzar, a hovercraft that's part of the Zion fleet. He believes in the Oracle's Prophecy of the One, and when he meets Neo, he believes his search is over and salvation is near at hand.
