The Ultimate Quake

Does anyone have any tips to complete this mission???
I can manage to drop the thrusters but can't get back in time to save my recycler ...... ??

What vehicle are you using personally? I always do it with grizzlies.

Ive been running up ahead in a tank, then change vehicle when it gets low on armour. I have bombers and rocket tanks to destroy the thrusters. I take a constructor with me and buld a silo after the fury's are destroyed but i can't get back in time to save the recycler

[davnjessy]

supply, not silo for ammo

Well... you could do this:

Or just take the recycler with you!

Take the recycler with you?! I'm mind blown. That fixes it, guaranteed! Lol

The above video does not appear to involve cheating.

I used a full platoon of grizzlies and didn't have to cheat. Granted I had to reload a couple of times after reaching the furies because of running out of ammo but I didn't cheat.

I manged to complete the mission :)
I left the recycler but took a constructor and built a supply after destroying the furies

I always thought that one was easier.

Depends on whether you consider exploiting triggers; so enemies don't spawn because the player isn't present; cheating. I've tried other iterations but always get attacked repeatedly after about 15 minutes, impossible to defend even with many tanks, towers and turrets. Guess I'll have to deal with it this way.

Edit: Is it possible to take constructor and recycle the thrusters?

Of course!

This depends on how you define cheating. In a game that has a group of functions very specifically referred to as "cheat codes" and given that the word typically means breaking the rules then the things done in the video, while unconventional, are still within those boundaries.

Hence the term "cheesing."

I've said before and will say again, the foolproof method for this mission is getting 7-8 tanks and upgrading each with a single SP-Stabber. You have enough scrap in your starting area to do this and so long as you aim low when fighting Furies in order to kill WASPs as they're spawned you'll do fine. you can use the remaining 2 or 3 slots in your offensive menu to build some units back home to protect the Recycler but using this method you should be able to kill the transport and get back to base before a single Fury goes near it.
