Mission 3

[Rex]

Any tips and tricks how to beat the level with the praetorian in refinery? Playing on hard and i find it quite ridiculous how the runners know exactly where you are (in hunt mode) every single time. There is like 4 or 5 runners patroling and i am unable to stealth that mission. Plus gunners, facehuggers and what not.

I tried doing it stealth but you have to blow up a barricade which is very loud btw, to continue the level. There is no other way and this always alerts the runners to my exact location.

I even tried to set up mines on the entire map to get them all killed while using sentrys but they just keep coming non stop. I'm on infestation 2 and the first two mission were ok but somehow this mission is like 10 times harder with all the patrols i can't get past quietly.

I do have a sniper with suppressor for patrols but he is in the medbay and i don't wanna restart the entire mission just to bring him with me.

I killed the praetorian in the big tunnel at the start, just placed 3 sentries and mines in direction or where he'd come from, after that I just went in the first area where aliens are so that the preatorian spawn and then I just ran away far from it (while still not noticed), the praetorian came on his own in the tunnel and he got destroyed by the turrets + mines (on nightmare difficulty so it should work on hard). After that it was much easier to avoid the others, be careful on the last part of the map as it seems impossible to avoid combat with the half humans with aliens inside so don't aggro them near aliens if you want to avoid global aggro

I was able to sneak past the runners just full sprinting all over the place. But as soon as I got past that section I ran into the Chosen guy who instantly sees in a fraction of a second, opens fire, then all the aliens run in behind me. Its like they want you to stealth but make it impossible

Yeah, i did the same. Praetorian is not the problem for me but the runners and other enemies who basically block every entrance and always seem to know where i am even when i am not detected.

Yes, it seems like to be impossible to stealth that part somehow.

when in doubt find a kill zone and draw em in if you have a flamethrower you can use it on aa door (normally the one behind me) to seal it off before they can path through it by attacking the floor next to it and it will pass under and outside locking it out on top of welding for a bit

next is sentry guns and mines wiht suppressive fire along the approach lane
