Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas Cheats

Easter Egg - Axe Spray Goofiness
On Fremont Street (single-player) locate the Kapone casino entrance. While facing the entrance, look to the player's left and there will be a black AXE Men's Body Spray bottle sitting on a planter. Shooting it once will let you see test footage for R6 Vegas.

Hint - Unlock New Gear
After destroying the opposition in single player campaign, don't forget to pick-up each new weapon you come across. While you don't have to keep a weapon and finish a map to unlock it in your customization menu, you do need to hold onto it briefly or your profile will not save it.

Another advantage is once you "claim" the weapon, you can die or restart the mission entirely and use it in the stage you got it from. This way, all the enemies you drop pretty much restock that weapon's ammo and you literally will be carrying a portable ammo dump throughout that stage.

Note: you need to reload your gamertag's last checkpoint each time you boot the game to get your gear back. If you choose to load a stage without loading your last checkpoint, your previously earned weapons will be lost.
Hint - Survival XP Exploit
One player should create a 2 player Survival Match with a 5 Minute interval and 1 private slot. Invite your friend and start the match. Wait until there are only 1 to 2 seconds left in the match and then have one of the players kill the other. The winner will receive 395 - 398 XP and the loser will receive 196 to 199 XP depending on how long was left in the round. Alternate a few times to unlock some early extras.
