I hate Sandtraps...

[Vergames]

Well i am gonna say this again... I need help with the Nova Prospekt bit of the Sandtraps Chapter.

[Sovereign]

Help with what exactly? That part is pretty straightforward.

[Ghidrah1]

Do you mean entering the outer compound, (dealing with gunships) or moving through the prison?

Dealing with Gunships

One of the harder fights. The rocket crate is at the back of the arena area near a blue container. I recommend trying to do as much damage to the first gunship as you can before the second shows up. If your skill level isn’t up to it simply turn down the difficulty.

My difficulty is on EASY!!

Then I’m afraid the problem is on your end. Your just not very good at this.

On easy you should be able to kill the first gunship well before the second shows up. A good shot could easily kill both without needing the rocket crate.

:/ Yeah i bought HL2 a couple Days ago the only Experience with some of the NPCs was with GMOD.

This'll get you going, 1 GS is easy, dealing with 2 is bad enough you don't want all 3 hammering you at once. Save often and replay it to get the rythm

1. You want to leave the light house with 3 launcher rnds to start the gunship battle.
2. In easy mode 3 rnds wreck GS#1.
4. Do a hard save before you gain access to the raised platform
5. Throw pods to the near end of the shed roof to get the ALs up there to remove the 2 BGs
6. Use the shed roof for cover from the GS till you develop confidence and throw pods over to the dumpsters near the steps used to get onto the platform, the GS targets them giving you time to send the 3 rnds to it.
7. Once you’re on the raised platform past the towers there're launcher 3 rnds, 2 outside along the building wall and 1 inside the ground level guard shack.

Could we refrain from bullying please? :) he’s asking for help not to be patronised.

How is this bullying? the game tells you to control rockets doing thoose zig-zag moves and then just hit the gunship. on easy you can kill a gunship with 2-3 rockets from what i remember and they barely can aim. when you cant take 2 gunships that miss every shoot and deal about 2 damage per shoot you are just bad. when i first time played the game i died 2 times only and i was playing on normal.

OK maybe this’ll help, whatever works on hard mode “ALWAYS” works on easy. The entire event begins at 17:24 and ends at 19:51. The event chronology I provided in the previous post begins at 17:24 and ends at 18:16 just after sending the 6th rnd at the ground level guard shack.

The actual battle with GS#1 begins at 17:49 and ends at 19:16. There’s tonza cover and only 5 BGs to drop to minimize BG damage. This and the vid are as explicit as I can be. Fare well
