Credits and Score Screen
Skip the cutscenes after finishing off Solidus and the cutscenes after the credits sequence. Time will end at the Score Screen and Rank will be shown after that.
- <html><span style=“color:Aquamarine”>HD Edition (PlayStation 3):</span> On this version and platform, sometimes the credits can lock up (called a 'Credit Freeze'). Unfortunately, this means a run that has this can NOT go on the leaderboards as it has no score screen. <br></html>
- <html><span style=“color:Aquamarine”>Sons Of Liberty:</span> The rank screen will NOT show your final rank. For <span style=“color:Cyan”>Rank 1</span>, a score screen with a time of 3:00:00 or less, 8 or less Saves, 0 Continues, 3 Alerts, 0 Kills, and 0 Rations, and no special items used is enough for the leaderboards to consider it a Hound Rank.<br></html>
