So precisely when does your
rank move up? It's actually a very simple calculation, that I'm sure took intense
thought to figure it out. As SubDrag figured out, there are ten crucial values that affect your title. Each of those vital statistics is worth up to ten points (or steps) and once you pass the upper threshold of a particular statistic, you will no longer receive any more "points" in that department. The ten crucial statistics and their required numbers:
To achieve the "Perfect" title, you must rack up all of those required numbers. Going above and beyond 18,000 kills will not hurt your statistics, but 18,000 kills is the number at which you can no longer gain points for scoring kills.
So how does any person with a life manage to become Perfect? Some of the statistics are impossibly high, and it would take years to become "Perfect". But there are three simple things that you can do to "cheat" your way to the Perfect Ranking, without having to commit a dozen days of playing time, and earning all those kills, distance, and ammo used.
1: To Gain Kills, Damage Dealt, and possibly Distance and Time: The Remote Mines/Capture the Briefcase in the Felicity against 8 simulants glitch. (see Tricks section. Once you set off the chain reaction of blowing up the mines, you can just head to the room to the right of the bathroom stairs, close the door, and offset the joystick by pressing L & R & Start, which will make the controller's neutral position be off center, so your player will be running around in circles. Leave the game, and system, and come back later, when you've gotten plenty of kills. 2:
To Earn Medals 3:
Ammo Used (Auto Controller Needed!), Time, and Distance You might as well kill three birds with one stone here. I just play in the Felicity with Cyclones. I shoot four ammo crates from the nearby hall, into the room to the right of the bathroom stairs. Once in the room, I shoot the boxes against the wall. I then set the controller's neutral position off center with L & R & Start, and leave it go, so my character runs around in endless circles. I then use an auto controller (SharkPad, MakoPad), set the double Cyclone's function on magazine discharge, set the Z Button to auto, and set down the controller so the Z button stays being held, and head off for a brief nights sleep. Sure, this is just plain laziness, but it builds up your ammo used, your time, and your distance. You'll be walking around the room, picking up fresh ammo for your Cyclones, so you'll never run out. I've left it for an entire night, and still not reached the required amount of ammo used, which is 450,000. Imagine how long it would take to use that many bullets while playing "honestly". Also, use the Fast Motion option with this. It will speed you up, and allow you to cover more distance. The
Distance and Time statistics seem impossibly high.. But to needed to fulfill the
requirements needed for just those two, an astounding 9000 km distance traveled
is needed. With that, you could travel all the way across North America.
