Here is how each one works. - Author: Alex Morgan - Tags: The Warriors, gameplay tips, PS2 games, point guides, #gce-bedd0ec4 You can use the Warriors point gain on replay tip to earn points quickly when you play the game again. It works through two scoring mechanics, and knowing both shows you where your effort pays off [\[1\]](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps2/919172-the-warriors/faqs/45869?ref=idleweekend.net). The first mechanic is steady scoring. As long as you and Cowboy hold the top, you earn points over time, so holding position builds your score in the background [\[1\]](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps2/919172-the-warriors/faqs/45869?ref=idleweekend.net). The second is the faster one: press the buttons that appear on screen to score [\[1\]](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps2/919172-the-warriors/faqs/45869?ref=idleweekend.net). This article covers the PlayStation 2 version of The Warriors [\[1\]](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps2/919172-the-warriors/faqs/45869?ref=idleweekend.net). It explains what the tip is, how each mechanic works, and when the effort is worth it on a replay. ## How do you earn points by holding the top position? You earn 1 point per second for as long as you and Cowboy hold the top. [\[1\]](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps2/919172-the-warriors/faqs/45869?ref=idleweekend.net) The points keep coming while you stay in that position, so the time you spend there is what adds up. Think of it as a steady trickle rather than a big jump. Each second at the top adds 1 point, so holding it for 30 seconds gives you 30 points, and holding it for two minutes gives you 120\. [\[1\]](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps2/919172-the-warriors/faqs/45869?ref=idleweekend.net) Picture a replay where you reach the top and keep it for a full minute. That minute adds 60 points, which is exactly what the 1-point-per-second rate predicts. [\[1\]](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps2/919172-the-warriors/faqs/45869?ref=idleweekend.net) Because the rate builds slowly, this works best as something you do while you keep position, not as your only plan. Stay put when you have the top, and avoid stepping out just because nothing seems to be happening. Every second you leave the top is a second that earns nothing. ## Which button prompts give the biggest point gains? Pressing the buttons that appear on screen is the quickest way to raise your score in The Warriors. Each prompt you hit gives you 200 points [\[1\]](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps2/919172-the-warriors/faqs/45869?ref=idleweekend.net). That is far more than the slow trickle of per-second points, so prompts are the main way to speed up scoring [\[1\]](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps2/919172-the-warriors/faqs/45869?ref=idleweekend.net). When a prompt appears, press the button shown on screen right away. Waiting too long can make you miss the cue, so keep your eyes on the action while you play. Imagine you are holding the top position with Cowboy when a prompt pops up. Pressing the button on that cue earns you 200 points at once. The per-second gain adds only a little with each tick of the clock, so the prompt does most of the work. Prompts can come one after another during a replay, so stay focused. Each hit is a quick win, and a run of them adds up fast. Keep your timing steady and let the prompts carry your total forward. ![Close-up of a player's thumb pressing the face buttons on a black controller, with the glowing screen reflected nearby.](https://tse1.mm.bing.net/th?q=hands%20pressing%20colorful%20buttons%20on%20game%20controller%20close-up&w=800&h=450&rs=1&c=4) ## Is the replay point gain worth the effort? Use the tip if points are your goal on a replay. It is built around scoring, so it suits you if you want a higher total than your last run. If you only want to see the story again, skip it. This tip is about points, not about moving through the plot, so it adds effort without changing what you watch. For example, if you finished The Warriors once and want to beat your own score, the tip gives you a clear reason to replay with a plan. If you just want to relive the missions and characters, you lose nothing by ignoring it. If you are replaying on a newer console, you do not need the original disc or an older system. The Warriors is now available to download from PlayStation Store as part of the PS2 version, so you can start a replay on the console you already own [\[2\]](https://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/75o941131k7821/rockstar-game-tips-get-good-real-good-at-the-warriors?ref=idleweekend.net). Pick the version that matches your console, then decide whether a points run is worth your time. ## Where to go next with the point gain tip The tip comes down to two mechanics. As long as you and Cowboy hold the top, you get 1 point per second. [\[1\]](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps2/919172-the-warriors/faqs/45869?ref=idleweekend.net) Each prompt you hit gives you 200 points, so prompts are the faster way to climb. [\[1\]](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps2/919172-the-warriors/faqs/45869?ref=idleweekend.net) Your next step is to start a replay and focus on the prompts. Keep hold of the top position while you play, and press the buttons as they appear on screen. Those hits add up much faster than the slow per-second gain. Give each prompt your full attention, since every hit counts toward the score. ## Sources 1.
