Game Cheats:
Infinite XP:
Play Chapter 2: Ruins Of Crystal City - The Lost Vault, and proceed through the
mission until you get the "Search for the leaders of the Insecticons" objective.
Before you can fight the leaders, there will be three swarms of Insecticons you
have to kill. Switch to Starscream, and clear out the waves of Insecticon enemies. After defeating the three swarms, walk over to the terminal and press X. Then, press B to back out of the terminal. This will save your progress. Pause the game, and select the "Restart From Last Checkpoint" option to start at the beginning of the swarm attacks again. Repeat this process as many times as desired. Note: You will also be completing challenges that give you Gear Boxes that contain x4, x5, and x6 XP multipliers to make the process faster. Additionally, equip any hack that will give you extra XP.
Experience points:
Play Chapter 7 and hack the weapons terminal toward the end before entering the
final turret section. Choose "No Shield Regen" while hacking to get +300%
experience points and slot the x6 XP Multiplier, several times if possible.
Once done, go to the Jazz prison area, clear out the basic enemies, go to the
objective marker, and jump on the turret. Once the enemies spawn, use the
T.E.C.H. XP bonuses and destroy all approaching enemy. Use each bonus as the
previous one lifts. Either wait for Jazz to die or select the "Restart from
last checkpoint" option before the end of this section to farm experience points.
You will keep all earned experience points after restarting and can repeat the
process as many times as desired. Play the "Lost Vault" in Chapter 2 and get
to the "Search for the Leaders of the Insecticons" objective.
Switch to Starscream and clear out the waves of Insecticon enemies. When the
room is empty, use the weapon terminal and leave it behind for an autosave to
keep the experience points earned. Choose the "Restart from last checkpoint"
and repeat the battle as many times as desired.
