Cheat: Infinite Skill Points

[QuiCkz AleX]

Note: This is very time consuming as it only allows you to get 500 points for every 1-2 minutes of play. You can probably get more points by killing the enemies normally, but this trick is available if you want to stock up on ammo, or fully upgrade one or two of your weapons.
Shortly after you and Trishka seperate from Ishi on your way to meet the General, you will come to an area where you will find a newsbot, a dropkit and a metal sliding door that you have to open. The door leads out to a street with a bus that you need to leash into a gap to cross. Continue fighting until you get to a point where the Mechaton's tail smashes a barrier allowing you to continue by hopping over a cement barrier. Walk up to that barrier, but do not hop over as you will not be able to get back. When Trishka is standing next to you by the barrier, you then run back to the dropkit in the room and the newsbot should have respawned. As you are running back to the room you will see the game pause for a split second with the loading symbol (rotating circle of dots) in the bottom right corner of the screen just before you cross over the bus. If you dont see this, go back to the barrier and let Trishka catch up to you. If done successfully, the newsbot will respawn indefinitely, giving you unlimited Skill Points at 500 points a kill. All you have to do after killing the respawned newsbot is to return to the cement barrier and allow Trishka to catch up to you, she has to come to a stop next to you or the bot wont respawn.

Nice find, but I think it'd be more fun to kill enemies for SP rather than using this method. It sounds a bit monotonous to me. I'm not having a go, just putting in my 2 cents.

If it works, it IS a very good tip because it will allow you without wasting any ammo to stock up on SP to buy charged shots for the shotgun and breeze through the end on Hard Mode.

Yeah if this does work, I am going to do it for my hard play through. Thanks for the find.

EDIT: I did this trick on my very hard playthorugh and it was a huge help. Thanks for the tip.

Triska was right behind me when I started doing this, and waiting for her wasn't long enough to respawn to bot (she also got stuck on the bus after the 1st bot respawn) I found that if I simply waited for around 10 - 15 seconds after reaching the barrier the bot respawned.
