13 Things Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart Doesn't Tell You

Ratchet and Clank's first adventure on PS5 is a galaxy-sprawling cross-dimensional romp full of wacky bosses, wild weapons, and plenty of secrets to uncover as you trek across the omniverse. Some of those secrets, though, are just stuff that the in-game tutorials might have left out - so, to that end, here are 13 things that Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart doesn't tell you.

With R&C games, it's not that the games are short. They're just so addicting that you wind up binging them without realizing it.

[@mediokay508]

​​@@CunningCondor Rift Apart only had 10 worlds without including Metropolis. Though there was so much jammed into those worlds, from NPC dialogue to rich environments, they probably didn't have enough space for more content.

Also....instead of selecting single upgrades one by one on your guns you can select multiple ones by chaining them together by using triangle

[@TerminallyBored]

You can also get all available upgrades for a weapon by hitting triangle on the weapon you want to upgrade in the weapons list - rather than going into the weapon’s specific upgrade tree.

[@F4r0_atak]

Just love that they talk about how important it is important to pick up bolts, yet forget to mention that: 1. You can use the Smash attack (Jump then Square) to destroy all nearby crates close to Ratchet/Rivet. 2. The wrench/hammer are magnetized, so you can throw your melee weapon towards bolts if they are floating out of reach.

[@jonaswest6993]

Ng plus makes bolt and raratanium fun to grind with the bolt multiplier

[@chunkabunk]

Tbh the hardest trophy to get is prob the craigger bears (if you don’t have a tutorial

[@Obi-Wan_Kenobi]

Aren't some of theses not included in the tutorial because you're supposed to figure them out as you progress though the game?

[@Supersonicblue1027]

well yes that and they are also just things ratchet and clank fans like myself would already know about and insomniac doesn't like to tell people things they know or could figure out just by pressing buttons.

14: FARM the 5/5 Big Boss Arena Fights for quicker XP on Weapons, plus 4-7 Raratium a run 15: The Freeze gun GREATLY increases XP on Guns used in combination to break the freeze 16: You can aim your jump with targeting while on magnetic pads to reach further / secret areas 17: If you REALLY want bolts fast fly to Sargasso and go to the far left rift with an active 20x multiplier you can get 150-160,000 bolts per opening and clear of boxes as BOMB boxes contain more valuable bolts

@@yeti186 Got the platinum a couple weeks back. Still playing it. Sick game.

I’ve just finished it and I’m absolutely in love with it, only problem for me is it’s too short. 10/20 hours just doesn’t feel like enough time after waiting for a console generation for a new main line game.

[@TheVegPie]

For $70 dollars 🤣🤣🤣

[@Brkmp_]

On average most of the series had the same length

[@twistedoracle1144]

would not say it is short, but it is if you factor in the price. The price hike is a stretch. It is worth $60, but not $70

To everyone complaing about the $70 price tag, if that extra $10 makes such a big difference to you, maybe you should find a new hobby. If we adjusted for inflation and the massive increase in the cost of making video games, AAA games should actually probably cost like $100 each. Video games are actually cheaper now than ever before. Stop bitching.

Game is too short...Graphic wise very impressive but the gameplay feels not that special compared to previous R&C games. Also, even on hardest difficulty, the game is WAY too easy and there's almost nothing left to do when you play through the story. Even the platinum is a joke...You can find 25 golden bolts in the game and you don't even get a trophy for that.
