Anyone knows how to do surgical strike achievement?

[talt]

Surgical Strike seems impossible to me. you have to complete the last mission early. The only way I can think of doing it (and the image suggests as such) is to prevent the arc from materializing.

However, the arc materializes in 2 minutes and 30 seconds. I had managed to build but not fully arm a couple of nullifiers. But this seems insane, 2 and half minutes is just not enough time to build anything.

In another attempt I took out one of the charging stations really quick, that delayed it until 2 minutes and 40 seconds and I was in no position to do anything then.

Anyone managed to do it? how?

Easy peasy. Build a ring of collectors, a few shields and a few nullifiers.

That is what I tried, there just isn't enough time

Thanks Michi - I was too lazy to go look for the Youtube videos. :)

I would say that the one you posted is a little less than optima - it makes more sense to put one of the CNs in the lower left corner and spread the network out from three places rather than two.

Yes, but the other (that was better) was horrible quality and in french, so...

[75Karsten]

Sorry. I intended my post more as additional advice rather than as a criticism of the video you posted.

[Michionlion]

No, it is fine, I just said the reason why.

This one is better

Alright, I am impressed, thank you. I seem to have built too many collectors before starting to weaponize, overestimating the power requirements of shields.
Also, I tried two cannons and by the time they were ready there was too much creep for them to drop in successfully

Is there any textual help? I don't understand why everyone create "hour-long" youtube-videos, while a few sentences where enough.
