Infinite Money and Overcharge

Hints

You can build infinite money and Overcharge during Act 1-9: "Max's Parents." Once the room at the top of the tower explodes, gather up all of the money and Overcharge from around you and then let the enemies defeat you. You'll respawn at the top of the tower, with the money and Overcharge there again. Gather it all, and then cross the river to get the enemies there to kill you. The money and Overcharge will respawn when you do. Repeat this process as long as you want, although keep in mind that if the enemies on the tower side of the river kill you, the money and Overcharge won't respawn.

Level Up Weapons Easily

Hints

You can easily level up your weapons during the mission "Getting the Band Back Together." Proceed through the mission until you reach the part where you're supposed to bounce on 10 drums. After you hit 10, continue to bounce on the drums and fight the OD, especially with weapons that take out many enemies at once. Pick up the ammo defeated OD drop so you don't run out. They will spawn infinitely, so keep bouncing until you get a kill streak of 999 and the resulting weapon upgrade badges.

The Floor is Lava Achievement

Hints

To easily get the "The Floor is Lava" achievement, just find two objects you can bounce from in close proximity to one another, and bounce between them until your combo hits 100.

Flung to Safety Achievement

Hints

To easily get the "Flung to Safety" achievement, you must start a Night Defense mission. Put a trap in a narrow point on the map, and then position a Fling Board nearby so that a dotted line connects them. This means it will toss enemies into the trap. Continue to do this during Night Defense missions until you kill 100 enemies this way. The count is cumulative across multiple missions.
