Lost Planet 2 (PS3): Anchor Techniques

On September 24, 2009, a co-op demo for Lost Planet 2 (PS3) was released on the PSN Store. Since then, I have been getting to grips with the game's Anchor maneuver, or grapplng hook. This is a basic feature of the third-person gameplay, but can be used for much more than simply elevating your position. This video highlights the functionality of the Anchor - its tactical and offensive uses. Hopefully the video also shows the Anchor's potential in PvP multiplayer, which is an upcoming feature of the full game.

The video contains instructions for the PS3 version of the demo only.

for the grenade stick, do they have to be gum? or any nade?

[MrTorrTue]

@philianthepirate For the anchor grenade move, you need a Gum or Disc grenade, because these grenade types are already sticky. Other grenades will bounce off the wall. Anchoring to a wall does not render the grenade sticky.

how exactly do you do perform the leap? do you cancel at a specific time? or does it only work on certain terrain? This is the only move I can't figure out

[MrTorrTue]

@Zenkusan Cancel while the anchor is reeling you in. The momentum carries you forward. In my video, I used this technique to leap over a branch but you can't use it to leap over any ledge or fixture. I could only do it because the branch was so small, after getting the timing and angle right. It took a bit of practice.

@pretz7x same here, i learned alot. this will help me a ton online

[pretz7x]

Very cool. I had no idea some of these could be done. By any chance, what music was used in this video?

[godsavant]

Hey, is it possible to empty an MG clip into an enemy while anchored, then plant an Anchor Grenade before leaping off? Or is it just one or the other?

[NoWarSeven]

I already knew all of these except for the anchor grenade. I have never thought of that. Thanks anyway.

[JackCrazee]
