Unhandled Exception

Unhandled Exception is the twenty-fifth level in Metal Arms. Glitch successfully breaches the Spy Factory and must disguise himself as a spy droid to find the chip he needs to disclose the droid spies. There is a Secret Chip located near the Wrench, which can only be accessed once Glitch has his head transported onto the conveyor.

Trivia
• Although the level prompts Glitch to "play along" with the ruse to act as one of the manufactured spy droids, this is actually avoidable entirely. The Wrench Glitch finds to disassemble himself can be used to charge into walls and clip through them, allowing Glitch to bypass every test and proceed as he desires. This method results in the following:

• Additional destructive computers can be found, some of which contain Washers that cannot be obtained through normal means.

• Many Grunts stationed around the level aren't programmed to do anything, thus they stand around doing nothing and won't attack Glitch at all. The only exception is the two Grunts at the storage point at the end, but they only act like normal Grunts if the level if played as intended. Additionally, many of the Grunts have no collision programmed, thus Glitch can pass through them.

• The chutes in the room where Glitch finds the spy chip aren't interactive, meaning Glitch can leave without recovering the chip at all. This doesn't affect the story in any way.

• The spy droids Glitch battles are either completely absent or are few in number.

• The Grunt who gives the spy droids commands, as well as the two spy droids that succeed in the commands test are indestructible. The Grunt's limbs are also very easy to damage, with one melee hit being able to dislodge all of them.

• If the level is played as intended, Glitch gets to hear how the Mils (Grunts, specifically) act and interact when not out on the battlefield. Some seem sadistic, some melodramatic, some paranoid and others actually seem like the sort to enjoy being creative.

• As stated up above, the basic chip Glitch is tasked to find can be avoided entirely via the Wrench glitch, making this the only level that makes the primary objective "optional/trivial".
