Tips for getting an SSS rating?

[Scarecrow]

Play sniper, take little damage, have high accuracy with large amounts of headshots, and hit your active reloads. I'm not sure if speed helps or if your accuracy goes up for shots that hit multiple targets.

I got this my first time on accident before reaching the first boss. You don't actually need to make it very far and your rating will likely go down the further you get because of increased damage taken. When I did end up dying in that run it was pretty quick so there wasn't a lot of chip damage before that.

Accuracy is a major factor contributing to the score. So this means reaching around 150% until the end of the run.

Penetrating enemies without missing your shots will yield above 100% accuracy. So the easiest way to do that is to use the HMN Laser Cannon as it has a unit penetration with perfect accuracy even while moving by default. I also recommend tokening and get this weapon as early as possible so you can highly rack up your score quickly.

The rest of the factor is playing optimally just as Scarecrow stated. Do lots of damage, take few hits, and always hit active reloads. The HMN Laser Cannon usually has all of these covered because of the insane burst damage and widest active reload. Headshots, credits, and healing matter less.

Play Assassin, trigger the teleporter, cloak away, and get penetration headshots on everything. from a safe distance. Avoid using items that have projectile behavior unless you can aim them, since they count as "shots" for the purposes of accuracy. Do not miss active reloads. That's about it, got it 2nd dedicated attempt when deliberately inflating my rank this way.
