Play ten online matches without dying to unlock the Dan skin. Note: The matches do not need to be done in a row.
Crystal shield
Wear ice 2 armor.
Death By Bull
Use the Armoogedon for this trick. Go to any island and change a monster into a bull. Just after you change him into a bull, jump on his back and stay like that. If the bull moves you also have to move. After about seven seconds Ratchet will start screaming as if he fell of something high and die. You will have to start at the last checkpoint.
Defeating Otto Destruct
To defeat Otto (the final Boss), you need four weapons: The Optical Maser Array, Electro Rocket (with shock and Lock-on mods), Shield Barrier and the PDA. Put up a shield and use the Optical Maser Array to lower his shield. Then, blast him with the Electro Rocket. Keep repeating this until you defeat him. Use the PDA if you run out of ammo. This is when you and Otto are the same size, not for the Battle Ratchets, Giant Otto or the Giant Clank Battle.
Easy Bolts
Get as high of a Bolt multiplier as possible, then enter or reenter the Dream Realm. You should appear on a small island. Break the boxes and the small shack to get about 5,000 to 10,000 Bolts (50,000 Bolts in Challenge mode). Go to the second island and kill the birds that fly through the wall, then destroy the two shacks and boxes on the island. From that you should get about 30,000 to 40,000 Bolts (120,000 in Challenge mode). In Normal mode, jump in the water and get eaten by a fish and repeat. In Challenge mode, go to the white portal on the first island (which should be there after completing the Dream Realm). Exit the Dream Realm through it, then reenter and repeat as many times as desired.
Start a Challenge mode game. Once you get your Polarizer Gadget, go back to Metalis. Next to your ship is a grid in the wall. Use your Polarizer on it, then go through the level to get your Titanium Bolt. Then, use your teleport to get back to your ship. Continue until you get to Dayni Moon, but try not to finish this level. You will need the boxes at the start. First, try to get your Bolt multiplier up as high as possible without getting hit. Try going on the Clank platform over from the ship and use the Titan Deadeye Mine weapon to kill anything that moves. Then, get in the ship and go back to Metalis. Use the teleport to go where your Bolt was and get the boxes. One hyper strike should do it. Then, teleport back to your ship and go to Dayni Moon. Get the boxes at the start. If you need to do the same thing with the Deadeye Mine weapon to get your multiplier up, do it quickly. Then, go back to your ship and travel to Metalis to repeat the process.
Easy Experience
Use the following trick for easy weapon experience and bolts. After you get to the Clone Factory, Quodrona, go back to Technomite City, Challax. Go through the board with the weapon you want to level up. When you run out of ammo, buy it on the PDA. Afterwards, go to Farming Cooperative, Dayni Moon and do the same thing. Then, go to the Clone Factory, Quodrona and fight through there. However, do not fight Otto. Repeat this process as many times as desired, You will level up once at least each three planet course and get at least 50,000 bolts (500,000 bolts in Challenge mode).
Easy Wins
To complete the game without having a hard time killing enemies, train you weapons at the same rate. Have each of them on the same level so they are equally powerful. When one weapon runs out of ammunition, switch to another.
Flaming wrench
Wear wildfire armor.
Freeze Wrench
After defeating Otto Destruct, enter Challenge mode. You will get a piece of the Hyperborean armor. Once you have the full set you will have a freeze wrench when you wear it.

Wrench Glitch
This isn't a useful glitch but it is cool. First select the weapon you want to use. Then pull out the wrench. Jump in the air and glide. As soon as you glide let go and hit circle then square before you land. You should slam the gadget/gun on the ground and hear the firing noise. (if you use the "water gadget" it will continue to make the sound unless you change weapons.)
