Rank Cheat
- Most online players are veterans and, as such, new players may find difficulty competing in matches. A guide available here shows you how to unlock the highest level instantly. Note that this does not give an unfair advantage, as it merely unlocks existing items in game, and doesn't conflict with anti-cheat systems so long as the "hack" part is performed in single player.
