Overweight override
When you build your AC, you will notice that there is a weight limit on the selected legs. To override this, just finish the game so the overall % under system reads 100%. To do this, just complete every mission. Keep in mind that while you can load any leg type with whatever you want after you get 100%, your speed will decrease about 2 1/2 for every hundred pounds that you are overweight.

Sword wave
Get Human Plus mode a few times. Then, draw your sword and press [X] (jump) just before the downslash. If done correctly, you will fire the fabled "wave" that all of the higher ranked ACs use. To fire the "blue wave of mass destruction", simply do this trick with the Moonlight blade. It can do over 1000 AP worth of damage.

Taking missions
When taking missions, check the sender. If you take too many from one company, others will stop sending you missions. However, after you complete the game you can still play the missions and get the money. Then, all the missions will be available to replay as many times as desired.

Defeating Phantasma Stinger
Buy the arms that are bazookas. Dash on the ground while holding [L1] or [R1] and fire a continuous volley of shots. You should defeat him in less than a minute.

The Final Battle: Defeating Phantasma
In order to quickly do away with Phantasma, the weapons and back weapons equipped have to have high Offensive Rating. Use the Large Missile Launcher acquired from defeating #3 in the Arena. This unit has a attack of 9830 and the missiles follow your opponent until it crashes with something. Hopefully about three consecutive impacts will be enough. Be warned, the recharge rate is 35 -- it is a good idea to blast away with a laser rifle (WG-XFwPPk has 1120, 100 shots) or the hand-held grenade launcher (WG-PB26 has 2200, 12 shots). Always remember to dodge his massive-light attack, and return fire freely.

Glitch: Shoot through city building
Equip either one of the grenade launchers, and go to the City Map location in two player split screen mode, arena battle, or linked play. Move right next to a building and face directly at it. Fire a grenade at the other player's AC unit. The projectile will pass through the building without immediately exploding, and you will have the protection of a building from enemy fire. Note: This will not work if you are at an angle -- you must be facing the building directly, with the tip of the gun touching the wall.
