Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas Cheats

On Fremont Street (single-player) locate the Kapone casino entrance. While facing the entrance, look to the player's left and there will be a black AXE Men's Body Spray bottle sitting on a planter. Shooting it once will let you see test footage for R6 Vegas.

Hint - Unlock New Gear

After destroying the opposition in single player campaign, don't forget to pick-up each new weapon you come across. While you don't have to keep a weapon and finish a map to unlock it in your customization menu, you do need to hold onto it briefly or your profile will not save it.

Another advantage is once you "claim" the weapon, you can die or restart the mission entirely and use it in the stage you got it from. This way, all the enemies you drop pretty much restock that weapon's ammo and you literally will be carrying a portable ammo dump throughout that stage.

Note: you need to reload your gamertag's last checkpoint each time you boot the game to get your gear back. If you choose to load a stage without loading your last checkpoint, your previously earned weapons will be lost.

Hint - Survival XP Exploit

One player should create a 2 player Survival Match with a 5 Minute interval and 1 private slot. Invite your friend and start the match. Wait until there are only 1 to 2 seconds left in the match and then have one of the players kill the other. The winner will receive 395 - 398 XP and the loser will receive 196 to 199 XP depending on how long was left in the round. Alternate a few times to unlock some early extras.

To reap online XP, follow these steps if you're going to be the host. If you're not going to be the host, just don't push anything on the screen where it says how many points you got.

1) Host a Team Sharpshooter Player Match at 20 minutes.

2) Go into the Match Settings, and change the amount of round to 20.

3) Quit the match.

4) Start a Team Sharpshooter Ranked Match at 20 minutes with 10 player spots on any match.

5) When all the spots are filled, tell everyone not to touch anything when the points screen comes up.

6) Start the match, and play until the end.

7) On the screen where the points show up, hit Start, then A, then Start.

8) Go down to Match Settings, and change the match to Team Sharpshooter.

9) Based on preference, have the winning team kill themselves, and then alternate for the remaining 20 rounds, or just play a normal Team Survival.

10) Repeat steps 7 through 9 until the match says quit game.

11) Repeat from step 4 onward to reap XP.
