Escort Missions

[claremont]

When the target dies: does my clone really have to be considered dead and lose all the equips? The bot to be escorted happily walks into gunfire sometimes. Would be better if the player was given the chance to fight out to an evac, and perhaps subsequently take a minor faction hit for losing the objective. Although, the mission is replayable, so i suppose the escort target is also a clone *ponder

idk but it'd be great if they stopped running into rooms full of 5+ enemies

Take the VIP into a room with a single door then close and lock the door. If you don't know how to lock doors a right click on a open door closes it right clicking again gives you a option menu the one labeled block locks the door. You can also do this on rooms with multiple doors but its just simpler when there is just one door.
After doing this go wipe out the enemies then afterwords go back and break the door down the same way you force attack barrels and walls. (Use a melee weapon to prevent accidentally hurting the VIP on the other side)

yeap lock them up every floor then when its clear, use your hand to bash the door

and for sanity sake just dont take escort mission with 10k power and 4+ floor, Just dont

This is so obvious in retrospec but I never considered doing this until just now. LOL

Well ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Question I just thought of. If you do escort on a quazzi planet does the VIP become a demon when you hit 1000 ecolapse? Or are they immune like the player? Because that would be ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ if not lol

Don't feel bad tons of people were having problems with escort missions till I thought of this tactic tested it and then started recommending it after I found it worked.

The VIP wont ecolapse even at 1000 (just tested it from one one my 30 backup saves) but since the baron spawn is random they might end up close to the VIP also the Quasimorph aggression at the highest levels might cause them to go after the VIP but I have never seen it happen as it seems they are 100% focused on the player all that said it's probably better to keep Quasimorphosis at medium levels until this is thoroughly tested which I honestly don't want to do at the moment.

On a related note is it possible to use meds on VIPs? I just lost one because the VIP took one stray bullet and rolled a -1 hp/turn stomach wound that ticked down until he died. I had several healing items but couldn't figure out how to use them on him.

no you cant heal vips. also I had it where the VIp was shot instead of me. I even had Melee guys attack the vip right next to me, instead of myself, even at low quasi level. I think it has to do something with armor value, plus proximity.

Nice one, this tactic of locking the escort objective in a room works a treat
