Boxing Clever is a TimeSplitters Future Perfect Challenge. It involves shooting boxes at zombies' heads, this getting you points to gain the medals and reward.
Briefing[]
Secret laboratory, blah blah... Twisted research, blah blah... Living dead, blah blah... Anyway lacking an immediate shotgun to hand it looks like the only way to get the heads off these guys is to hit them with boxes - so you'll be needing the temporal uplink's force manipulator for this one.
Strategy[]
There are four U-Genix boxes in the room - two big, grey boxes, and two smaller, beige boxes. Use the Temporal Uplink to pick up the boxes and throw them at the zombies' heads to behead them.
When there are too many zombies, run in circles, dodging them until you're in a space where you have room to pick up a box and fire it at several enemies.
When the number of boxes gets low, wait until the end of a wave, then use that time to re-collect any boxes that may be outside the challenge boundaries.
A useful trick is to throw a head at an enemy, and the instant it hits, activate your uplink again and snap the thrown head back at your hand. This is faster, and in succession, can rack up a lot of points. Also, decapitating a zombie with a head is worth 100 points, while decapitating a zombie with a box is worth only 75 points.
Another trick that can be utilized is by simply throwing a box so it bounces off one of the pillars in the room. By doing so, the box spins and does a lot more damage, allowing you to get combos easier. However, Cortez's main health concern is the boxes/heads bouncing back into his face, not the zombies' attacks
Note: After achieving platinum, at the end of a wave, you may lose points. This means that your highest score while playing may not be your final one.
