  • The game begins with Grayson flipping out and attacking Serrano's flagship, a massive warship about twenty times the size of Grayson's, and he achieves a double knockout.
  • Really, all the creative ways to kill enemies have to count. In no particular order:
    • Launch a drill through a guy's head, completely destroying it, and spear the guy behind him and send him sailing through the air into some rebar. Or hell, a third guy!
    • Use the Leash to to Thump and fling enemies up into the air, bashing them against the ceiling and walls. If there's other hazards like spikes or exposed cables, watch them get gored and/or electrocuted too. Don't forget any explosives that are likely to go off!
    • Snipe a dude in the head (or the balls for extra humiliation), detonate the bullet, and take out an entire crowd of enemies.
      • Alternate target on a guy: his butt. It's equally as humiliating, if not moreso. A fair bit more difficult too, since enemies will see the bullet coming and try to dodge out of the way, and you'd have to really try to curve the bullet around to hit that target in the time you have. Unless you decide to go after another guy just behind who has the misfortune to have his back turned.
    • Kick a miniboss's explosive orbs back at him to break his armor, slide on up and blast him in the face with a shotgun, then rip his head off with the leash while he's stunned.
    • Slice through enemies with supercharged grenade flails, watch it wrap around something, and then blow it up to take out any poor suckers that were spared by the initial shot.
    • Kick a hotdog cart towards a crowd and make it blow up. Watch the bad guys go flying, likely dying as they slam into walls, get impaled on cacti and rebar, or just fall apart entirely from the sheer force.
    • Hell, even the scripted multi kills should count! There's flattening an entire elevator tube full by calling an elevator down and pasting them, for instance.
  • The entire confrontation with Sarrano, especially when he whips out his own Leash and proceeds to whup ass. He may be a bastard, but he's a tough bastard that you've got to respect.
  • The scene right before Grayson kamikaze's Serrano's warship.
    "A sudden plunge in the sullen swell. Ten fathoms deep...*pushes lever to initiate divebomb*...on the road to Hell!"
  • There's a moment when you try to escape by riding a train. But the best part comes in the form of a giant excavation wheel that pursues you. While this happens, you also have to dispatch mooks and shoot gasoline deposits to change the wheel's course to avoid being crushed while also shooting giant torpedos that will destroy you.
  • The part where you control a 50 ft tall animatronic that looks like Godzilla while you kill mooks by shooting lasers and punching things.
  • Gray's "The Reason You Suck" Speech to Sarrano, after Sarrano's constant Breaking Speech-ing of him for the entire level of the Ulysses up to that point.
    Grayson: "Took down your Battleliner is what we did. Dropped your prize warbird with a Class-D Spectre. That's gotta sting a bit. And while not all of your crew managed to get to these escape capsules in time, I notice you did. Women and children first, ain't that right?"
  • Using a chopper to blow the fuck out of a giant Godzilla-sized Hekaton. You don't kill it, sadly, but you do tear it up enough to make it back off for a while.
