Pistol Whip comes with several cheats that you can use to customize your experience when going through the various levels in the rhythm action game. To see how you can enable these modifications, you can take a look at this guide from Seeking Tech.

While this guide is based on the PlayStation VR2 version of Pistol Whip, it should be applicable to all the other versions as well.

1. To unlock these cheats, you need to play through several levels in the Arcade Mode in Pistol Whip.

It should take less than five stage completions until you see “Bend the rules” notification.

2. Once you unlocked the Styles menu, you need to turn left when you select a stage but before you hit the Start option.

3. It is important to note that, if you are going through the campaign mode, you will have limited cheats available. If you want to take advantage of all available mods, then you need to play these levels through the Arcade mode instead.

4. In the Styles section, you should see a list of modifiers. You will be able to select the following:

• Bulletproof – invincibility mode
• Bottomless – no reload
• Unobstructed – remove obstacle pillars
• Threatless – disable enemies from shooting
• One Shot – one hit kill
• Big Head – turn on big head mode for enemies
• Low Velocity – makes incoming bullets slower
• Reinforced – makes armor regeneration faster and be able to sustain more damage
• Reckless – remove your armor
• Deadeye – remove auto aim
• Scavenger – reload by melee attacking an enemy
• Disorder – shuffle the enemy placement
• Vengeance – turn on ricocheting bullets
• Heavies – enemies have reinforced armor that takes twice as many bullets
• Headhunter – enemies can only be defeated with a headshot
• Bullet Hell – increases the frequency of incoming enemy fire
• High Velocity – makes incoming bullets faster

5. Select a cheat that you want to enable.

Keep in mind that enabling some of these cheats may disable others. If you turn on Reckless, for example, then you won’t be able to enable Bulletproof or Reinforced.

6. Once you are done with enabling the modifiers, you need to look back to the right side and then select the Start option.

You should now be able to play through the selected level with the cheats you previously turned on.

When playing Pistol Whip on your PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 5 Digital Edition console via the PS VR2, you may notice that you don’t have to be really accurate when targeting your enemies. This is due to the generous aim assist setting that lets you focus on dodging incoming bullets and avoiding obstacles.

Before we begin, it is important to note that, while this article is based on the PlayStation VR2 version of the action rhythm game, these steps are also applicable to other versions as well.

1. To start off, you won’t be able to disable aim assist from the pause menu in Pistol Whip. So, if you are currently going through a level, you should either finish it or quit back to the level selection screen.

To exit a stage in the PS VR2 version, press any of the face buttons (Square, Triangle, Circle or X) on the Sense controller. Afterwards, select the Screen Select option.

2. If you are playing the campaign scenes, then you won’t be able to turn off the aim assist feature. Instead, you need to head over to the Arcade Mode.

If you are in the Campaign Mode menu, then you need to select home icon to go back to the home menu. From there, select Arcade.

3. Select a level from the Arcade mode and then look to the left side. You should see the Styles menu.

Note: If you don’t see the Styles menu, this means that you haven’t played enough stages to unlock it. In this case, you have to play through move levels until you get a notification that says the following:

Bend the rules. Time for a switch-up? Use the STYLES SYSTEM to modify core mechanics to your exact preferences. Each style has its own unique leaderboards. Carve out your niche and dominate it.

4. In the Styles menu, make sure you are in the Customize tab.

5. From there, select the Deadeye icon, which has an aiming reticle icon. This option should have the following description:

Aim-assist disabled. Penalty for missed shots.

6. After turning off the aim assist feature, look to the right and then select the Start option.

When you play through the stage, you should no longer notice any aim assistance when shooting your weapon at the enemies.

By default, most of the levels in Pistol Whip (with the exceptions of the Smoke & Thunder campaign scenes), are played with a signal weapon being held either on your left or right hand.

If you want to play through these stages with a weapon on each hand, then you can check out this tutorial from Seeking Tech to see how you can dual wield.

This guide is based on the PlayStation VR2 version of Pistol Whip running on a PlayStation 5 console. With that said, it should also be applicable to the other versions of the game on other VR platforms.

1. You can only change to dual wielding from the main system menus. So, if you are currently in a middle of the stage, you need to bring up the pause menu. On the PS5, you can do so by pressing the Square, Triangle, Circle or Cross button on the Left or Right PlayStation VR2 Sense controller.

2. From the pause menu, move the laser pointer to Screen Select option and then shoot it so that you can return to the selection menu.

3. It is also important to note that you won’t be able to dual wield in the 2089 campaign scenes. To play these same levels with two weapons, you need to do so from the Arcade Mode.

If you are in the Campaign Mode menu, then we recommend that you select the home icon to go back to the mode selection menu. From there, select Arcade Mode.

4. Select a level you want to play in the Arcade Mode menu.

5. Before selecting the Start option, you should see an icon with two guns. Select it to enable Dual Wielding.

Alternatively, you can look to the left side and see the same two gun icons from the Styles menu.

6. Once you turned on dual wielding, start the level.

You should now be able to play Pistol Whip with a weapon equipped to both of your hands.

You can play Pistol Whip with either the Left PlayStation VR2 Sense controller or Right PlayStation VR2 Sense controller.

To see how you can switch the dominant hand when it comes to holding a single weapon for this virtual reality game, you can take a look at this tutorial from Seeking Tech.

1. You can only change your dominant hand in Pistol Whip when you are in the main menus.

So, if you are currently making your way through in a stage, then we recommend that you first bring up the pause screen by pressing any of the face buttons (Square, Triangle, Circle or X) on the Left or Sight Sense controller.

2. From the pause screen, you need to move the laser pointer of the active controller to the Screen Select option and then press the L2 or R2 button in order to exit the level.

3. Once you are back in the main menus, you can press the L2 button if you want to change your dominant hand to the Left PlayStation VR2 Sense controller. By doing so, you will now be able to hold your weapon left-handed in Pistol Whip the next time you play a level.

To change your dominant hand to the Right PlayStation VR2 Sense controller, you need to press the R2 button while you are in the main menus. This will make it so that you will be holding your weapon right-handed during the stages.

4. Once you are done switching your dominant hand, select a scene to start playing.

The weapon should now appear on the hand that you previously switch over to.

When you boot up Pistol Whip on your PlayStation VR2 headset for the first time, you may notice that you can’t select the Campaign mode in this rhythm action game. To see how you can unlock the story scenes, you can take a look at this tutorial from Seeking Tech.

You won’t be able to play the first two campaign chapters right away in the PlayStation 5 version of Pistol Whip. To unlock them, you have to first go through the levels in the Arcade Mode.

It took us around five level completions in Arcade before we unlock the first two campaigns in Pistol Whip. If you play through the tutorials in the game, you may be able to unlock the story a lot quicker.

The game will let you know when the first chapters will be available as you should see the following notification:

Unlock ravel the story.

Blast your way through the story-drive Scenes in each of Pistol Whip’s complete Campaigns.

Take in the wild west as gunslinger Jessie, or the robo-apocalypse future as cybersolider Asimov. Each campaign features new weapons and unique challenges.

If you select the “Take Me There” option from this notification, then you will see the following message:

Campaign Mode. Recommended for Experienced Players.

Battle through a cinematic story using preset styles. Accessibility modifiers available in the Styles menu.

Select the “I’m ready” option to go to the Campaign screen, where you can select which scene to play.

Once you complete the levels from the Campaign, you will be able to unlock them to be played from the Arcade mode as well.
