Tips for Queen Fight in Dead Hills

[Roderick720]

I keep getting wiped. I can fight her well enough, but the facehuggers keep getting my marines before I can kill her.

Do you have a smart gunner and sergeant in your squad?

Grenade the eggs. As soon as you get in there they will ping on the motion tracker. There's at least one really good grouping of them, and then you just need to focus fire any remaining facehuggers.

It might be slightly tricky where you need to manuever your guys around the queen, but once the facehuggers are dead its a lot more straightforward.

If you have an incinerator I think that can help as you can lay down a wall of fire.

Keep throwing grenades at her, it interrupts her charge, that's how i did it.

To expand on my question a bit more and explain it:

Smartgunner can get an upgrade that increases the suppressive fire ability for your entire squad.

Sergeant can get an upgrade where you can get an additional command point which brings your number to either 4 or 5, i dont really recall.

if you can manage to throw down your sentry turrets then thats also going to help immeasurably.

Then lastly use the remaining 3 or 4 command points to yeet grenades from the M41 under slung grenade launcher at the queen. Also making sure your marines are not tweaking off their ass from stress will help too in that fight.

place 4 turrets at the doorway and dodge her charge, its instant death for the queen lol

I placed down 2 sentries outside the room facing it before opening the door. Once opened, I set a suppression and stayed outside the room. By the time the queen got close to the door, she was dead. Never got close to my squad.

Wow, thanks for the pointers everybody. I only have 1 sentry right now. Are you able to buy more? I have a sergeant, but not the smart gun. Also, I guess I'm kind of dumb, but it never occurred to me to just walk back out into the hallway lol.

Make sure your wanted levels not on high or adds will keep spawning from the hives as you fight her..i had the queen 4 facehuggers in the queens room and 4 drones and a crusher come at me from the mines during the fight and then it was just a constant endless swarm of drones all my guys were only lv2 lol...lets just say i got battered

[Millerlight89]

I just grenaded her. It was the once and onlly time I lost a marine and am now on mission 5 or 6. Really that's my only issue with the game, not on love with the boss segments. They really do not give you enough room for them or enough distance. ;/

[PzAbt SilentFear]

Two smart guns before the door.
As soon as the intro was over i rushed my squad out of the room and spammed nades at her at the door. Wiped her no problems.
Btw proximity sensors are amazing for distracting the hords. Place em as much as you can on the map.

How in the hell do you have a smartgunner and Sergeant at this point in the game? I only have one marine with an option to level up into a new class and the only choices are Tech guy and Medic.

I think you can actually buy more using the materials resource... I'll need to try.

What I did was lore her out into the tight corridor whilst laying suppressing fire. Having the flamethrower is a good help and it does a lot of damage to her. So a combination of walking backwards, laying down fire, grenades and flamethrowers.

[dgresevfan]

Now there's a thought. I have flamethrowers and mines...

if it helps i just ring around the rosy around the pillar as my squad fires at the Queen, nade when she charges, rinse repeat
