MGT Sucks And A Couple Tips~

[Silver Heart TTV]

Something about MGT rubs me the wrong way. Simply don't like him, added with how annoying it is always hearing him before chasers come to bug me while I'm trying to scavenge. He sucks

As for Tips, figured I'd mention some and leave the discussion open in case anybody else had a few tricks

- You can use explosive barrels to open doors, break shelves for a ton of scrap metal or destroy vehicles/trees for Materials

- Holding R lets you choose what type of ammo you want to use (Elemental or Regular)

- Most turrets can be 'Configured' to fire at a longer range

- Most lockpick doors can simply be broken down, either by hitting them or using the 'Free Fire' skill that Fea has to destroy the door without wasting ammo

- Alternatively, be sure to check if there are more ways into rooms. Many windows can be broken and you can crawl through them. You can also jump from balcony to balcony in many buildings

- The drone that flies around towers can be caught. You simply need to Press E on it while within reach of it. My levitation boots make it nice and easy~

- The electro ball mini-game requires 20 in order to unlock all three prizes. Make sure to gather all the electro balls near the front of the machine before playing. There will usually be a total of 5 or 6 in the area as the mini-game

- The large drone that flies straight up from certain buildings cannot be destroyed. You'll often see a red triangle on the map to show it's there. You need to rush up to it and press E on either side of it to grab the battery attached to it's bottom half. If you're quick enough, you can right click to drop the battery and grab the battery on the other side of the large drone. If successful, you just scored a free 120 power or you can use one of the batteries to unlock a specific building

- Lastly, the dumb charger thing. You'll run into a charger. Take the part of it that is connected to a cable and connect it DIRECTLY to your tower core. Not the walls or something. Then, climb the tower the charger is next to and retrieve the large grey ball at the top. Toss that ball into the charger's top from a distance. If you do it correctly, the ball will turn red while flying through the air and upon landing on top of the charger, will typically give you something like 30 free power

That's all for now~

MGT is a total prick agreed even more after that one story battle.

completely forgot about the turret configure menu ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thank you. that will help so much against the tank units. i generally have to save my free fires for those as they sit outside default turret range, i wait for them to stop moving start free fire, and then shoot the first mortar round out of the sky, then spray into them with the cyro rounds until they die.

i prefer the double jump boots but levitate for that will likely be easier for the drones.

aside from that do you know how to get more of the currency to train more operatives for base jobs?

I unfortunately don't know what currency you're referring to, so I probably can't advise on that yet. XD I have four operatives, at the moment, and I'm training them through dispatch missions or simply sending one on a quick tour to gain experience. There is also the EXP injector which I've found can be helpful too as it instantly increases somebody's level

a neat trick is that short stairs can be placed on top of each other in a zigzag pattern to help create short to medium freestanding platforms. you can also make a really short platform by placing them under a utility tile that is connected to the top of a barrier. this short platform can actually be stacked really high up (possibly infinitely but i only had enough to reach the same height as the core tower)

The character you get with the rocket launcher skill is OP as heck, he is good for breaking doors as well.

MGT is just Jaiden Smith with a whinier voice. I can't stand him. He's one of the main reasons I want a mute voices button.

MGT needs to go eat a ♥♥♥♥ and leave me alone.

Breaking down doors is stupidly simple with a Power Slash skill user. It 1shots doors, has a 5-10s cooldown and the other skill can almost instantly refresh it. If you get a good angle it hits for about 6-8k on those 90k health doors (chopping those down while buddy loots the rest of the zone is boring as ♥♥♥♥).

You can farm Tech Points from Chasers by breaking doors down on any mission. If the doors have a health pool, break em to spawn some chasers. Sometimes the stupid ass things get stuck on something or if you spawn a lot in a short time they tend to glitch out and show up really slowly for a fight.

[Daddalus]

And Dont forget play with the settings of the turrets.
you can give prio to enemys so your stronger turrets waste time and ammo on weak bots.
or dissable enemy groups at all.

Cargo drones send their contents to whoever sends it off. useful for coop

Ah, how did you get the third and so on is what im asking.

I currently have four operatives. So we're the Fiercesome Five, for now~ You get more operatives using a rare item called a Recruitment Beacon or something like that. Sometimes, when you clear parts of the exploration map during a tour, one of the 'Buffs' will be that you will get one of those at the end of the tour. Aside from that, it does also occasionally appear in the merchant's shop. You may see it if you've got the money to keep refreshing the store but, of course, it only appears after you learn about operatives but since you have one, you may see it~

[Silver Heart TTV]

Oh and then you obviously recruit them in the Barracks. The recruitment beacon thing is about 300 in the store, I think, if you're lucky enough for it to appear. I've had it appear twice in the store so far.

Two ways to get Operatives.

1. Is Recruitment Beacon which you can find in missions as an item on ground, as a reward from special Event Reward thing (Stage completion bonus that is rewarded at end of Recovery Day) OR Find them in the Shop from Monica.
2. Local Operatives. When deploying on a Tour, go to your Operatives list (Choose Operative), then at the top is Operatives | Local Operatives. Click on Local Operatives, then from there you pick one to use in the mission. Do note it comes bare bones but you can kit it out from your stockpile. Once you complete a Tour with this Local, they get added to your Operative list so you can use them around base or whenever.
2.5. I do not know how to get more local operatives to populate the list as of yet.

Ah completely missed the local operatives thing and haven’t seen a beacon yet to pick. Thanks a bunch.

[IchFisch]

Agreed, almost every time the outpost kills the last chaser and then MGT screams into your ears while you're foused on something else... thats annoying and kind of a jumpscare

[Silver Heart TTV]

Every single map: 'Whew, that was a tough one. You should probably take this chance to relax' while still in the middle of an intense battle against genocidal 9ft tall machines
