Not on My Watch! Achievement
Clear 2 Hives in "Tide Breaker"

This is the one where you have to flee back to Fort Meru. I can get one of the hives (beside the second defensive line) but I can't seem to get any others.

The obvious candidate is the one right beside the starting point but I don't have the units to attack one position while defending another - and if I try to build up, the attacks get too big to stop.

I tried to get the one to the left of the Fort later on but I was taken out by scorpions pretty quickly.

Any ideas? Thanks, apes.

Like I said, you still want to quickly run two of your rifle squads to the right at the beginning of the mission, but you also want to quickly get engineers and start building MG turrets on the road to assist the rifle squads with the Tigers. Just set them to prioritize Tigers.

Video. Gameplay starts at 43 seconds:

What difficulty are you playing on?

My suggestion is to go for the hive that is to the right of the radio station (?) at the very start of the mission. Take those first two rifle squads and immediately run them to the right to begin clearing it out. Meanwhile, immediately drop down two more rifle squads, and place one of them in the corner right next to the radio station and the other on the elevated ground right behind it.


The first wave and the arachnids at the bug hive will only be Warriors. The two rifle squads at the radio station will be able to hold their own, and if you move quickly, the two rifle squads that you sent to the right will be able to clear the bug hive before the Tigers get unlocked.

Great! Thank you!

I'm on normal. I've finished the game before but I'm doing an achievement run. I used your video (if it is you!) to get the other achievement on that mission too (defend for ten minutes) so thanks for that! I'll give it a try later on. :steamthumbsup:
