Grenade jumping

From: Josh
Grenade jumping is a very hard skill to use, it is hard to do and very hard to master. What you have to do is use some type of explosive grenade and then go near a small wall and use the grenade, the first method is to fall from a high ledge and land above the explosion, it will send you flying up and over! Waringung: 90% chance of combusting!

The second method is to be close to the grenade, when it explodes yoy have a chance if bieng shot backwards with a chance of being killed or lighting yourself on fire!

The third method is to use the remote bomb. Set down the RB and and get at least a bus length away from it or closer or farther! Wich ever you fell good with, next blow up the bomb! You will be shot in the air and probably get light up!

The fourth method is probably the easiest and safest, first take a bazooka and shoot it at a wall or tree or something behind you that is close but make sure you are in a safe range, then walk and shoot the rocket and you will go fast across the ground or air!

Thats all the explosive jumping i know for now!

Best weapons part 1

From: Josh
Weapons: the best weapons for a player are:

1: the minigun! This weapon is great! It dose massive dammage and has fast firing! You can still walk fast! Its good for offense and desefense!

2: the remote bomb! This weapon is a WMD! It makes a huge explosion and lights close people on fire! About to die? Thats okay! Just drop a RB and blow the place to bits! For a bounus go neer a bus or a big truck! Enemy about to take your swagcase? KA-BOOM! Blow 'em to bits! Good for offense and defenders and supporters.

3.the shot gun. This weapon shoots multible bullets in one shot! They are also very common! Get closer for a one hit kill! They also make your enemys explode in to goop! They have a good firing speed and high damage but low range! The cops use them why shouldnt you? They are very good at offense!

4. The knife "its just a knife its so bad!" Wrong! The knife is very good it takes 2-4 hits to kill somebody! Sneak up on your enemy and shank them! You can also kill civilians to rigger the cops for no ammo to get a tank/cop car! This weapon is good for support.

5. The flame thrower! This weapon is bugged a bit beacuse it dosnt always ignite people but its deadly! They burn enemys and light them on fire! Its low ranged with ammo that goes down slowly! It dose lots of dammage and causes NPCs' to flea and sometimes find water (hence no swimming in the game) its the best weapon in rampage mode beacause it always ignites the npcs! It can blow up any car in 10 seconds or less!its good for offense and maybe defense!

6. Autto turret, what weapon is more defensive than this? I was going to put this for 3 but this is flat out defence! Just drop this thing in a median or near a place you need to gaurd and it will take care of any thing! This thing is a minigun on a stick! It stays in one spot, scans the area and anything it sees it shoots! It has infiniti ammo and is verry stong and has a good range! Place a cluster and watch the boddies drop then explode in to a bloody mess! It even kills the bad cops and dosnt count as a kill that angers cops! But watch out wjen you die or it will burn up and explode! Very good for defense

How Brutal Difficulty is Brutal

From: Brenden 88
Brutal difficulty is the toughest difficulty in Payback 2. It is slightly different then the other levels. This guide assumes I have all weapons available.

The cpu are tougher as they have better aim. They can easily focus on te target without missing. Because of this they often use strong weapons that are effective with good aim like lasers, miniguns, and rockets. Enemies also have better pathfinding and can strafe, walk backwards, and dodge bullets and cars a lot easier.

Mr. Pink will still mostly use his pistols, but he will use other weapons. He is also more likely to hijack cars and his aim with running people over is much better.

Enemies are better at driving and will often hide behind cars, or use them as armor to drive twords you and shoot you or run you right over. They can target you so they are hard to dodge. If the car takes damage they will get out of it and shoot you instantly. If they have it, they will shoot you with a rocket launcher or shotgun the instant they get out if they can see you. It is best to shoot the cars from the passanger side. So you can blow it up and they cant see you. In some lower difficulties they will not shoot a car ramming them. In brutal, they will shoot it with shotguns Or flamethrowers. They also keep there distance and fire on a car your driving.

Police will more often set up roadblocks and use swat vans. They also bring in more tanks when the tanks come and will spam rockets, making it hard to dodge and hijack tanks. The tanks will also drive around instead of staying still. The police will move forward to you when on foot.
Vehicles

Vehicles are a faster, safer, and generally more efficient way to move around in the game. They have more hitpoints than the player character, and essentially gives the player a layer of protection from incoming hazards.

All vehicles can be entered by tapping on the "Enter vehicle" icon when approaching said vehicle. The player character will automatically move towards the vehicle. Any driver that was previously driving the vehicle will be thrown onto the floor, unable to move and take direct projectile/melee damage for ~5 seconds.

All vehicles are destructible and are subject to degradation as its hitpoints deplete. The damage is indicated by black smoke from its engine bay and exhausts. The smoke will be thicker when the vehicle has sustained heavy damage. Eventually, the vehicle will burst into flames and will be uncontrollable, exploding after 3 seconds. The driver inside the vehicle will be killed from the explosion if they do not escape in time.

Some vehicles have special abilities accessible by tapping the icons on the top right corner. Abilities include sirens, horn, and lights. Tanks have an ability to shoot rockets, which is accessible by aiming with the right stick.

Here is the complete list of vehicles in the game, listed by category and speed.   

(note: Due to the lack of a proper long straightway in the game, the true "top speed" cannot be measured. The speed here is more heavily emphasized on the acceleration, and the stats in the individual vehicle page may be inaccurate.)
