| Health |
o-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-o
Health comes in blue spheres called Nanotech, and adds to your current health.
You can find health in clear crates with black outer casing. The Nanotech
itself is blue with white dots. It is often found with crates of bolts and
ammo. In the single-player mode, Nanotech will restore part of your health, but
in online multiplayer games, Nanotech restores all of your health.
o-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-o
| Bolts |
o-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-o
Bolts are the equivalence of money in Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal. Use
bolts to buy anything from weapons to armor upgrades. Bolts come your way from
many places, the most common is in boxes. Brown wooden crates contain bolts,
which can be collected by breaking open the crate. Special tasks and challenges
will also reward you in bolts.
o-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-o
| Crates |
o-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-o
There are 5 different types of crates in R&C:UYA, each with an individual type
of result. The boxes contain bolts, explosives, ammo, bolt multiplier, and
Inferno Mode. Wooden crates contain bolts, which buy you weapons as stated in
the previous section. Red crates with yellow painting are filled with
explosives, and will detonate when broken open. Dark blue crates with the "G"
logo on the side are Gadgetron crates, which contain free ammo. The turquoise
crates with the "x (Bolt Symbol)" on them contain bolt multipliers. When broken
the crate gives you a number which your bolt intake will be multiplied by. For
example, if you get a x2 multiplier and get 10 bolts from killing an enemy,
your actual bolt intake will be 20. This lasts for a limited time, so collect
as many bolts as you can during the duration of the multiplier. The yellow
crates with the red flame on them contain Inferno Mode. Inferno Mode makes you
invincible for a short period of time, and gives your wrench a boost of power
temporarily. You may only use your wrench while Inferno Mode is activated, and
when it runs out you may use your weapons again.
o-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-o
| Vendors |
o-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-o
Vendors come in two different forms, weapons and armor. Weapon vendors sell you
new weapons, as well as ammo for weapons you already own. A new feature allows
you to max out all ammo instead of maxing out ammo for individual weapons. You
can still max out a single weapon's ammo, but this feature allows you to save
time and buy ammo all at once. Armor vendors sell you the newest in armor
technology, and will notify you when a new suit of armor becomes available.

Weapons in Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal come about after unlocking them
after completing levels. Each weapon has unique qualities, from power to the
amount of ammo available. Weapons can be upgraded from their original version 1
to version 5, a much more powerful version, by gaining experience from use.
After completing the game once you have the option to enter into challenge
mode, where you will be able to upgrade weapons (except the RY3NO) to version
8. Version 6, the first version of a Mega weapon must be bought during
challenge mode.
The description following the weapon's name explains how the weapon works, and
how it is best used. The place that it is available will explain where you may
first acquire the weapon in the single player mode. The first version of all
weapons do not have a special ability, but versions 2-5 do. These special
abilities range from different mods, to additional features that will do more
damage to an enemy. The power is gauged on the pause menu, and it relates to
the amount of damage enemies who are hit by the weapon will take. When weapons
reach version 5, they have a new name and will always acquire a new ability.
The mods that come with the extra abilities are automatically added to your
weapon, unlike R&C:GC where you bought them. There are three types of mods,
shock mods, acid mods, and lock-on mods. The shock mod will shock the enemy it
hits, as well as shock any enemy near them. The acid mod will do damage to the
enemy or enemies it hits even after the original hit. The lock-on mod allows
you to hold R2+L2 to bring up the enemy's health, as well as lock on all future
shots as long as it stays in range.
The order of the weapons is based on the level that you receive, or are able to
buy the weapon. The weapons listed last are the Mega weapons, version 6 through
version 8, available only in challenge mode after being bought from the
vendors.
