pro or psycho?
Six professionals have been brought together by crime boss Joe Cabot and his son Nice Guy Eddie for a heist at Karina’s Wholesale Diamonds.
They don’t know each other; they don’t want to know each other.
Each man has a job to do and each has a color­coded name to protect his identity: Mr. White, Mr. Blonde, Mr. Brown, Mr. Orange, Mr. Blue and Mr. Pink.
It’s the perfect setup — it’s planned to be the perfect crime. The orders are simple: get in, get the diamonds and then get out quick.
Two minutes max and away with the rocks that will fetch big bucks.
But the heist goes wrong. Cops come out of nowhere and all hell breaks loose. Alarms are triggered and the cops are breathing down the team’s necks.
That’s when this game kicks off. What happens next? Six professionals are out there,
on their own and put to the test. How do they handle it? The cool Mr. Professional or loose-cannon Mr. Psycho?
Now that’s your job to sort out.

let’s go to work
If you’re new to the game, then you’ve got to start somewhere. This is it.
• Select
Play
from the Main Menu.
After the opening titles you will go to the first chapter of
RESERVOIR DOGS™, “A Matter
of Business,” the training session in Joe Cabot’s warehouse.
TRAINING (A MATTER OF BUSINESS)
You might think you know it all, but there’s a lot to learn in a short space of time. This training session is in five sections: Weapons, Cover, Crowd Control, Hostage-Taking and Neutralizing; these are all key elements in the game.
Some controls will seem complex to start with but you’ve got to practice them ‘til they’re second nature. Be cool.Take your time. Learn your lesson.
WEAPONS
The first training session explains all aspects of weapons.
Your weapons and how you handle them are key to your survival. You’ll get away with a lot with accurate aim, straight shooting and a quick reload. You do not have an unlimited capacity to carry all the weapons you might find, only a maximum of two handguns and one machine gun/rifle or shotgun (with suitable ammo).
NOTE: See WEAPONS controls, page 4.
WEAPON TYPES
RESERVOIR DOGS™features an extensive range of different weapons: pistols, silenced
pistols, semi-automatic pistol, machine pistols (all of which can be carried and fired in both hands at the same time); sub-machine guns, assault rifles, shotguns, sniper rifles and tranquilizer rifles. All have varying degrees of effectiveness (fire rate, accuracy and damage) and ammo clip size. Remember to use the right weapon for the right job; against armored SWAT team personnel you might try to bring something a little more substantial than a pistol to the party.
The Training session lets you get used to firing pistols, a sub-machine gun, sniper rifle and a shotgun.
COVER
Joe and the boys will also teach you the importance of using movement and cover — all that commando shit they talk about in cop school might save your sorry ass from getting shot up.
Remember that it’s not just you who’ll be using effective cover. Cops and SWAT teams are trained in the same way and will also be in cover so you’ve got to use your brain (if you don’t want to see it splattered over the floor). Outflank them, try a shot from the side or behind, or a precise shot to the head.
NOTE: See MOVING AROUND & COVER controls, page 4.
CROWD CONTROL
In this part of the Training session you’ll learn the basics of controlling people. Ordinary people will get in your way, raise the alarm or tell the police where you are when you’re trying to get away.You’ve got to focus on key issues and control them. Taking them out permanently is an option. but that’s just more noise and alarm and if cops are around they’ll hear you. You’ve got to use good judgment: get the civilians safely out of the way or put them somewhere where they can do you no harm (neutralize them).
NOTE: See TAKING CHARGE: HOSTAGES & STANDOFFS controls, page 5.
USING HOSTAGES
If civilians are around, you might also think about using them to your advantage. In this part of the Training session you’ll learn the basics of hostage-taking and how to use hostages: to help get you out of a tight spot or to give you leverage to get others to do something for you.
Taking hostages isn’t just a matter of using “human shields”; you’ve got to figure out how security guards or cops will react when they see you threaten or rough up an “innocent victim.”You’ll also find that you’ll get away with a lot more by aggressive intimidation — waving a big gun in the face of a security guard might just get you through a locked door super fast.

SIGNATURE MOVE
Each of the heist team has his own Signature Move. This can be quite persuasive against cops or guards who won’t cooperate. This usually encourages most people, no matter how tough they think they are, to cooperate. The others? Well, that’s for you to find out!
To perform a Signature Move, you must have a hostage and a full adrenaline bar.
• Take a hostage (hit
Spacebar
).
• Hit the
Q
key.
KNOCKING OUT A HOSTAGE
Sometimes you’ll just want to silence a hostage you are holding.
• Hold the
E
key and press the left mouse button to knock the hostage unconscious.
BULLET FESTIVAL
If you’re high on adrenaline in any firefight you might enjoy a few moments of Bullet Festival. This slows down the action (in super slo-mo) and you can target an enemy, fire your weapon and watch the bullets travel through the air and pierce the target in a blood-splattering gore fest.
• Make sure you have a full Adrenaline Bar.
• Hit the
Q
key.
• Aim (mouse cursor).
• Fire a number of rounds (hit the left mouse button).
• Watch the bullets hit the target.
The action will then return to normal.

6 ADRENALINE
The Game Screen is generally left clear and uncluttered to let you concentrate on the action, but some important stuff is shown that you should know about.
Health
The green meter shows the amount of current Health for your character in the mission. Keep an eye on this — too low and he’ll never make it out of there alive.You can boost your Health levels by using the Medical Boxes found in various places throughout the mission. Keep a look out for them — they’re marked with a white border with a green cross — they might just make the difference.
• Approach a Medical Box and press the
E
key when you see the prompt to add Health
on the meter.
Adrenaline
The blue meter shows your character’s Adrenaline level. Adrenaline is boosted by killing or neutralizing cops and civilians. A high Adrenaline level will also let you carry out your character’s specialty Signature Move or give you a blast of Bullet Festival.
Weapon(s) in Hand
This icon shows the active weapon (or weapons) in hand. You can carry one large weapon (such as a sub-machine gun or shotgun) and a maximum of two handguns (one in each hand). If you are holding a grenade or shield it is also shown here.
When a large weapon is holstered (
~
key) it will be shown on the character’s back.
To draw a weapon, press the
~
key again.
To the right side of the weapon icon are two numbers. The top number is the total number of bullets held in the current clip; the bottom number is the number of bullets you have in reserve. When the top number reaches zero, the weapon is reloaded with the bullets taken from your reserve (if available).

Target Cursor
The Target Cursor will appear if you have a weapon in your hand. Use it to aim before pulling the trigger. If you want a more precise aim, press the
X
key and the view will zoom-in.
If you have picked up a Sniper Rifle, press the
X
key twice to get a super accurate zoom-in shot.
Press again to toggle back to normal mode. The Target Cursor will flash to indicate if you have targeted (locked-on) to a person (either to
shoot or to control by moving). The Target Cursor will disappear if you do not have a weapon in hand but will reappear if you press the right mouse button (lock-on). Your weapon will then be placed in your hand, ready for action.
Hostage Tolerance Meter
If you have a hostage, you will see the hostage’s current tolerance level on the red bar just above your own Health level. The bar reduces when you do something with or to the hostage. It is an indication of how far you can push before the hostage collapses/faints and becomes useless to you.
End of Mission
You can also view a statistical breakdown of the mission summary. The ranking you get depends on your performance:
• Time Taken • Disarms
• Shots Fired • Threats Neutralized
• Targets Hit • Body Count
• Accuracy • Unlockables
• Hostages Taken
pausing the action
It’s going to get hot in there when you’re in the thick of it and you’ll want to take a breather at times. Even the toughest player wants an occasional break in the commotion.
• Press
Esc
to pause the action at any point.
Pausing the game opens the Pause Menu with the following selections:
• Options
Access the game options (see page 7).
• Restart
Restart the current level.
• Save
Save your current level.
• Quit
Quit the current game.
driving screen
RESERVOIR DOGS™features six driving missions that put a character from the team
behind the wheel of a car.The game screen you’ll see for Driving Missions is different from the normal screen.
NOTE: See DRIVING controls, page 5.
Speedometer
Shows the speed of your car in miles per hour.
Damage Gauge
Shows your vehicle’s status.As the car takes more damage, this meter reduces.
Timer
In timed missions, the timer will appear on the HUD. It flashes red when you run out of time.
BOOST GAUGE
Your car’s “Adrenaline” level. The following will cause the Boost Gauge to rise:
• Fast driving
• Performing handbrake turns
• Driving over jumps
• Near misses into oncoming traffic
• Crashing though gates or other barriers
• Narrowly missing pedestrians
A high Adrenaline level allows you to get a Speed Boost (hit
Left Shift
when the Boost Gauge
is at least one-third full).

Mini-map
A top down view of the route you are driving on the mission. Often there are several different ways to get through to your objective. Keep an eye on the map — you might spot a shortcut.
• The compass needle shows where North (N) is located to help you orient your car.
• Your car is shown as the red triangle.
• Other cars relevant to the mission are shown as yellow circles.
• Cops are shown as blue circles.
• The green arrow points in the direction you should be heading.
Toward the end of the mission, a green marker shows your destination. When you get there you will see a green circle. Drive into the circle to end the mission.
Other Driving Screen Graphics
Certain missions require extra HUD elements such as timers and additional Health gauges. For example, in the mission where Mr. Orange is bleeding in the back of the car, an additional Health meter appears on screen. Drive carefully with Mr. Orange, as collisions will cause him to lose more blood.
DRIVING TIPS
Lock-on and shoot while driving:
• Press the right mouse button to lock-on to the nearest target (car or person).
• Fire with the right mouse button.
An erratic driving style will lead to loss of lock-on. A good lock-on for a prolonged period of time will lead to a more accurate and damaging shot.
Precision Immobilization Technique (PIT)
The PIT or “fishtail” maneuver is very effective against cop cars.
• At speed, sideswipe the rear quarter of the target vehicle.
• The target vehicle should spin out, leaving you free to put your foot down.
The Boost
When you have a high Adrenaline level, press
Left Shift
to kick off a Speed Boost. If you collide with oncoming vehicles under boost, those vehicles will be destroyed. Any traffic going in your direction will be shoved away with a greater force.
Driving Missions
At the end of a driving mission you will receive a mission summary with the following details:
• Time Taken • Pedestrians Killed
• Max Speed • Shots Fired
• Average Speed • Accuracy
• Police Vehicles Destroyed • PIT Maneuvers
• Civilian Vehicles Destroyed
saving your progress
At the end of each level, or when you quit the game, you will have the chance to store your current position in the game.
other characters
CIVILIANS
Civilians might seem like nobodies to you but they could make the difference between you getting out of this mess or sinking in the shit. Most times they’ll react the way you expect them to (if you think about it long enough).
If a civilian sees you with a gun, that person is going to run — and raise the alarm. It’s in your best interests to stop this from happening — but how you do it is up to you. If you take the professional approach (threatening), you’ll find that a civilian can be moved around, ordered to unlock doors and neutralized (made to kneel against a wall).
Neutralizing is the only safe way of preventing a civilian from posing a threat. But be warned — if you start shooting the place up, everyone is going to panic and run.
Every character has a “tolerance” level that will appear when you take the person hostage.This level is represented by a red bar that appears above your own Health bar.The red bar diminishes when a hostage is moved, threatened or beaten. If it empties completely, the hostage will collapse and you’ll be left completely exposed.

COPS
Cops will behave the way you’d expect them to. They’ll try and arrest you and if you resist, they’ll open fire. Cops won’t respond to verbal threats alone, but if you rough up a hostage or perform a Signature Move in front of the cops, it usually persuades them to drop their guns.
Disarmed cops will act in much the same way as a civilian. If you can neutralize them, they shouldn’t bother you. Just be aware that if you suddenly decide to go psycho on them, they won’t hesitate to break away and look for the nearest dropped weapon.
If you find yourself in a firefight, taking a hostage is a sure-fire way to calm things down — and buy yourself some precious seconds. Just don’t take this as a license to start shooting people without consequence, because it won’t be — cops will return fire.
And don’t assume that taking a hostage is a guarantee of avoiding getting shot. Cops will try and flank you, and will fire at the first opportunity.
SECURITY GUARDS
Although security guards appear to behave exactly like cops, they are not as tough mentally or physically.After all, what’s in it for them to be the big hero? If you have a hostage, a simple threat will be enough to disarm a guard. From that point on, guards act exactly like disarmed cops.
professional or psycho route?
At the end of each mission, you are rated on how you played through the chapter. The game also gives you an overall rating as you progress through the story. Three main ratings are available: Professional, Psycho and Career Criminal.
If you progress by mostly shooting and killing, you’ll end up with a Psycho rating. Conversely, if you mostly threaten and neutralize, you’ll end up with a Professional rating. Engaging in a combination of the two will yield a Career Criminal Rating.
The Driving sections are rated in a similar way. Causing damage and shooting will give you a Psycho rating; driving fast and carefully will give you a Professional rating.
Two additional ratings can be achieved by playing exclusively as a Professional or Psycho: Consummate Pro and Stone Cold Psycho.

CONTACTING TECH SUPPORT
If you have a technical problem with the game, our Support Department is here to help. Our web site contains up-to-date information on the most common difficulties with our products; this information is the same as that used by our support agents.

ASSISTANCE VIA THE WORLD WIDE WEB
The fastest way to answer most questions is by visiting our online support. You can find the latest support information at http://support.eidosinteractive.com/. Our support FAQ’s are available 24/7 for your convenience. These pages are updated frequently and have the same information that our support techs will use to answer your question if you call or email us. The answers to about 90% of the questions we are asked can be found there, so it really is worth the time to take a look!
The second fastest way to get an answer to your question is to email us. (You will find our email submission forms at our web site.) We typically respond to email queries within 24-48 hours during the business week. Response times can be considerably longer over the weekend, holidays and immediately after a product release. It all depends on how many people we have working and how much email is coming in at any one time, but we do try really hard to get you the right answer as quickly as possible. Weekdays, excluding holidays, during the hours when the phones are open, we still give email questions our highest priority.
Through this site you will also have access to our FTP (File Transfer Protocol) area where you can download patches and new enhancements as soon as they become available.
