A. R. M. are back with only one obstacle to thwart their quest for global domination: Cate Archer, the daring super spy who foiled their last nefarious plot. They've summoned the world's deadliest assassins to take her out of the spy trade once and for all. Meanwhile, the United States has uncovered a top secret Soviet project that could bring about World War III. [. . . ] If she enters a good hiding spot while still in view, this icon will appear to indicate that she can't hide here right now. When this happens, she needs to ditch her pursuer(s) and find another hiding place. Pick up Body Notification: (Bottom Left) This appears when Cate is aiming at a dead or sleeping AI to indicate that the body can be picked up. Moving Body Notification: (Bottom left) This replaces the pick-up body notification once Cate picks up the body. Cannot Drop Body Notification: (Bottom Left) If Cate moves into an area where she cannot drop the body she is carrying, the moving body notification will change to this. Exit Notification: (Bottom Center) This will be displayed when Cate is near a one-way level exit. It will only appear when she's aiming at the exit unless she is very close to it. Transitional Area Notification: (Bottom Center) When Cate finds an exit that can also be used to return to the current level, this icon will appear. This will only appear when facing the exit unless she is very close to it. Weapon Selection Display: (Top Center) This allows you to quickly choose a weapon or gadget from your available equipment. This appears anytime you use the previous weapon key or the next weapon key. Equipment is broken down into 6 categories for easy reference and selection. You can choose a category by number with the keyboard, or 20 scroll up and down through all of it with the previous/next weapon keys. NOLF2_PC_MANUAL_FE 18/9/02 12:12 pm Page 21 The categories are listed below. For more information about the weapons and gadgets in Cate's arsenal, please see the section titled "Santa's Workshop". Melee Weapons: (Taser, Katana) Stealth Weapons: (Shuriken, Crossbow, Bear Trap) Pistols: (McAllister Pistol, Utility Launcher) Heavy Weapons: (Gordon 9mm machine gun, AK-47 Assault Rifle, RFA Series 4 Bolt-Action Rifle) Explosives: (All Grenades, Timebombs) Gadgets: (Camera, Compact, Hairspray, Fingernail Clipper, Coin, Keychain) DEFAULT KEY CONFIGURATION CHART Unmappable Controls Menu Quicksave Screenshot Quickload Pause Game <Esc> <F6> <F8> <F9> <Pause> Movement Controls Forward Backward Step Left Step Right Turn Left Turn Right Sidestep (strafe) Sneak Jump Crouch Turn Around Lean Left Lean Right Toggle Sneak Toggle Cro. uch W A S D Left Arrow Right Arrow Left Alt Left Shift Spacebar C Backspace Q E Caps Lock Left Ctrl 21 NOLF2_PC_MANUAL_FE 18/9/02 12:12 pm Page 22 Interaction Fire Action Reload Change Function Next Weapon Previous Weapon Holster Weapon Last Weapon Move Body Keychain Light Left Mouse Button Enter, Right Mouse Button R F [, Mouse Wheel Up ], Mouse Wheel Down H X G L View Look Up Look Down Center View Zoom Up Arrow Down Arrow End Z Status Equipment Inventory Intelligence Player Status Mission Status Compass Radio Talk M N I P Tab ` V T 22 NOLF2_PC_MANUAL_FE 18/9/02 12:12 pm Page 23 SANTA'S WORKSHOP Cate's arsenal includes weapons that are standard UNITY issue, as well as those found during her missions and acquired from dead or sleeping enemies. MELEE WEAPONS The Katana is a Japanese sword than can be liberated from Ninjas. Fast, deadly, and quiet. Cate's eye shadow doubles as a non-lethal Taser, useful for temporarily rendering bad guys unconscious at close range. Its non-threatening appearance allows her to wield it in public places without arousing suspicion. However, the Taser must recharge between uses. STEALTH WEAPONS Bear traps can be found in Siberia and are a painful way to hold an enemy in place for a short time. Tread lightly after setting a trap, though, as Cate can get caught too! Shuriken are Japanese throwing stars that are quiet and very effective when used correctly. These are also good for creating distractions. For situations that necessitate subtlety over raw power, the Vindicator Sportsman's Crossbow is the ideal choice. Four different bolt types are available, including Normal, Fire, Poison, and Explosive. A scope is also available for long range shots. 23 NOLF2_PC_MANUAL_FE 18/9/02 12:12 pm Page 24 PISTOLS The McAllister . 32 Automatic Handgun is a highly versatile . 32 caliber pistol that can be fitted with a silencer.
