SodiumOne is the new event by Lockwood / Outso that hit PlayStation Home at the end of 2009.

 

Already alot of people have been saying that SodiumOne Sucks due to either issues with the

 server among other things.

 

But with mini-games like Scorpios, Scorpion Stomp and Salt Shooter, SodiumOne has become

1 of the most popular event spaces in Home, both in NA & EU.

 

However SodiumOne is just the beginning as Lockwood has announced that

they will be adding more content, including SodiumTwo, so well just have to wait and see.

 

 

Sodium Hub

this space can be accessed 1 of 3 ways.

      

      1) Portal in Central Plaza <By big screen>

      2) Central Plaza World Map

      3) PDA World Map <Location>

Note: You cannot add furniture or items in this space (sucks I know)

Sodium VIP Lounge

purchacing the Pilots Jacket (Suit)

          you just have to have it in your wardrobe inventory.

         

You can find the jacket in the mall or Commerce Point (Picture Below)

You can find this either in the Sodium Hub or the Salt Shooter Game Personal Space.

 

The Jacket also gives you access to the full Salt Shooter game.

Scorpion Stomp

There are two scorpion occupied areas.

One is by the Salt Shooter training arena, the other is by Scorpios

You'll know you're near the area by this sign… (picture below)

When you first enter the stomping grounds, you'll see your combo counter

on the top right of the screen.

As you stomp scorpions, your counter goes up.

If you get stung, your screen will turn greenish and your multiplier will go down

to its previous level. 

For every ten (10) robotic scorpions that you stomp without being stung,

a glowing orb lights up and your combo increases.

At first your max combo is 4x, and you will stay at your max even if you keep

stomping without being stung.

In order to increase it, you'll need to unlock higher levels by geting higher

scores during a single session.

You'll get an objective message when you unlock them and a new orb will appear. 

Once you have a multiplier unlocked, it remains so for all future sessions.

(Unlockable multipliers below)

               First Multiplier - 6x <800 points>

          Second Multiplier - 8x <6,000 points>

               Third Miltiplier - 10x <90,000 points>

 

Notes: The points to unlock these multipliers is your score,

             not the amount of scorpions you've stomped.

          

             As long as you stat in Sodium Hub. you will not lose

            your current score, but if you leave the space your

            score and stomped counter will go back to zero.

There are 3 types of scorpions.

         Yellow Scorpions = 1 Point

                                          {Just walk on them from behind or the side}

             Red Scorpions = 5 Points 

                                         {Requires Scorpion Stomper boots <Commerce Point / Mall>}

            Blue Scorpions = 3 Points

                                        {Requires Vetoxade <Scorpios>}

                       

                    Vetoxade Recipe

                        Glass: Cross

                        Drink: Green

                       Extra: Sodium Stir (not the umbrella)

                   Extra 2: Strawberry

 

A meter will appear on the top left corner of your screen

when you're done drinking. (Picture Below)

(Meter will be full when you first see it)

Note: After drinking, you'll have about 50 seconds to run out from Scorpios

          to 1 of the scorpion grounds and stomp as many blue scorpions

          as you can before the effects of the drink wears off.

         After that you'll have to go back to Scorpios for another drink.

Notes: If you find a level to be hard, go back to levels

            you've already played and upgrade your equipment.

           

            If you have an auto-repair upgrade setup, do your best to

           stay away from the enimies while your hover-tank fixes itself.

that is correct. the first jacket you buy comes with a helmet, gloves, pants and shoes. then for every 10 levels you beat, you get updated jackets to go with the rest of your suit.

Really, thats strange, you would think that they would give the jacket rewards in both regions of Sodium.

I have both EU & NA accounts, only difference I've noticed before was Vickie has more items in NA than she does in EU.

Still that is strange that you don't get the updated jackets.

You 1st have to perchase the jacket from the mall or commerce point

< if you don't already have it>, then beat salt shooter's 10x levels

( 10, 20, 30, 40, & 50 ) to get the upgraded jacked rewards.

Looks great, and I lurvs teh interactivity and progress bar creator.

Level by level tips and reward stats for Salt Shooter would be a great expansion.

Maybe just a tiny footnote that the EU Chili jacket is still gimped. Or rather, all EU Sodium objective bonus items.

Woot! The non-gimped Chili outfit! But they gave us horrible LAG instead… so bad even VICKIE couldn't stand it (she was on a break when I got there and came back to greet me a minute later).

New objectives from VICKIE: S1 Salt (complete lvl 3), S1 Bronze (lvl 5), S1 Silver (lvl 30) and S1 Gold (lvl 50).
