The Chicago Sweeper: Your New BFF...But Can You Get it on New Game Plus?
Ah, the Chicago Sweeper. That beautiful, bullet-spewing beast that turns Ganado hordes into red paste faster than you can say "bingo." But for us completionist gamers, a burning question arises: can you snag this wonder weapon on a New Game Plus (NG+) playthrough, or are we stuck slogging through the campaign again?
Fear not, my trigger-happy friends! The answer is a resounding YES, you can absolutely unlock the Chicago Sweeper on NG+. Now, before you start prepping your victory dance (complete with air guitar and obligatory slow-mo walk away from an explosion), there are a few things to keep in mind.
Unlocking the Chicago Sweeper: Not Your Mama's Difficulty
First, a word to the wise: the ol' Sweeper doesn't come cheap (well, not in terms of effort, anyway). You'll need to beat the game on Professional difficulty and snag an A rank. That means dodging like a matador on Red Bull, conserving ammo like it's the last can on Earth, and probably muttering a few choice words under your breath (we've all been there).
Here's the good news: NG+ is your friend in this situation. You'll carry over all those fancy weapon upgrades and treasures you collected in your previous playthrough, making that Professional run a whole lot smoother. Imagine mowing down chainsaw Ganados with a maxed-out shotgun – pure, unadulterated joy!
NG+ Shenanigans: A Rank Ain't Easy, But Totally Worth It
Now, the A rank requirement. This means keeping your playtime in check (think sub-7 hours) and taking as little damage as possible. It's not a walk in the park, but with the firepower of your upgraded arsenal and a strategic approach, it's definitely doable.
Pro Tip: Don't be afraid to unleash the Infinite Rocket Launcher you (hopefully) snagged in your first run. Just remember, using it might disqualify you from that coveted S rank (gotta save something for another playthrough, right?).
So, there you have it. The Chicago Sweeper awaits in NG+, ready to become your partner in Ganado-obliterating crime. Now get out there and unleash that lead therapy!
