Attack the Dam Alt ending (SPOILERS)

[Tariss]

I'm having a hard time trying to beat the alt ending route does anyone have any tips or ways to get it done.

[Smut Butt]

I used a full energy build most of my playthrough. If i ever got too stuck, i would use atleast one worm needle cannon and an explosive shoulder weapon on the other. seemed to work for most encounters that became too much to handle. especially when you have a 3v1 with some encounters soon.

[Kalsu]

Go for the smaller AC first and try to beat it before the other AC start supporting him. I went plasma lance , assault armor and finished him with the pile driver

[Aradner]

Hard to say, depends on your playstyle. Dual zimms will classically do the job ofcourse, but there are a lot of ways to go about it depending on how you want to play. Most universal advice is to have a reliable way to ACS overload them. Stun from electric weapons can help too.

what was the build? two plasma rifles + two laser/plasma cannons?

I used all explosives build to do the Alt Attack the Dam missions. Songbirds, Earshot, and a grenade gun in each arm on a reverse joint mech. Try to pick off Iguazu ASAP since he's lighter and has less AP. He has a pulse shield which will negate damage so unless you're packing explosives or pulse weapons, it'll be a hard time getting him to stagger and deleting him before he uses a repair kit. Once Iguazu's out of the picture, you can just do keep away with Volta (the tank guy) and blast him with explosions. Just don't get close to Volta because he has a zimmerman and he'll mess you up something fierce.

If having trouble with 1 vs 2, here is what i do. I lure Iguazu G5 into the tetrapod MT at the right side of second generator and killed him. Sometimes G4, will stuck on mountain, so gives you time to defeat G5.

Once done, proceed on G4. At this moment, the tetrapod Mt died by G4 explosive spam. Good luck.

Try using double laser pistols with shoulder laser* rifles or worm stun needlers
Ignored those pistols for long time, but they're OP - lots of ammo, can shoot like 15 or more shots without overheat and double firerate melts both bosses and normal enemies
*edit: i'm using also assault shield (the one which explodes) as deals lots of damage all around

[Kain]

If you want to be cheap, Dual Needles and Dual Zimms, all the other weapons will require actuall effort, go after Iguazu first, he's weaker too.

[Sabaithal]

Energy tank build, full heavy arequbis parts for the rest due to high EN defense, since most of the late game bosses use energy attacks exclusively.

Couple with needle launchers and zimmermans or chainguns for an easy win. As long as you hard lock correctly (let go of the stick after activating the lock).

Focus fire solely on the allmind AC, ignore the rest, just DPS it to death as fast as possible to get to the real fight.

Zimmers / Laser Lance and Stun Needles if you just want to get it done. One-shot Iguazu and take your time with the tank. Legs and everything else don't even matter.

If you don't manage to blow up Iguazu fast enough you can kite them up the dams. Iguazu will follow you easilly, but the tank tends to get stuck cause not enough boost.

the double barrel plasma rifle, and the laser pistol. as far as shoulder, i used a variety of the plasma missiles most of the time. The cannons aren't all that, you're better off using an explosive or a kinetic shoulder. the only shoulder energy weapon i found useful outside of missiles is the shotgun cannons but they weigh alot+ high energy demand so you need a tanky build to carry them.

[KnifeHeart]

I used a laser lance / pile bunker build w/ a shotgun and missiles for pressure. It's hard to stun the tank long enough to land charged pile bunker shots but it's pretty easy to get the biped that way.

Yeah, although, personally I think a bipedal that's at least average in speed is better to keep close all the times, thread boosters aren't the best.

But then again, some people say tanks are easy mode, so , maybe it's just not my play style.
