Help and tips for Madness ?

[AZ]

I'm on my way to 100% the game and I wanted some tips for completing Arena and Campaign mode in Madness, can you give me the best tips currently?

Don't get knock down in madness mode they ain't gonna be nice and wait for you to get up also try not to get hit as much you can get killed easier in madness

[Mcnugget]

arena: nexus core riot control (one with the shields) will be your bane, i also recommend using massive for this since he has a large amount of corpus and can charge up the punch that can dizzy (or kill if you're lucky, or they just have one corpus and small health) PLEASE PLEASE armor your hirelings and give them weapons, otherwise they will just be insta-killed by nexus core engineers, if you get a GO3LM's helmet up shoot them in the head, dont start madness right at the start get upgrades, then go for the madness completion, the best state your hirelings should be is in the white check mark state

story: tricky's murder time will be harder than phobos, try again and again, start the hardest missions first; sleeper labs or the other one with tricky, the rush, science tower levels, etc, dont try to fight strong enemies in the timed missions get rid of the weak (and annoying) ones to avoid them swarming and to regain tac bar (example being agents)

this is the best tips i could come up with (even though i 100'ed the game)

My tip, is kind of a cheat to finish the Campaign in Madness difficulty:
After completing the final level, go to the building that's on the left side of the Nexus Tower, enter it and interact with a sword and you'll start a quest (the SFL-3 Eater, I think thats how it's called). And when you finish it you'll get a loudout that has a weapon that one-shots enemies and also an outfit that increases your corpus.
(I'm just saying this just in case you struggle with the harder missions.)

Well as one of the poster in Madness Combat series says:

Rules of Madness:
1. Die
2. Have fun

Know your enemy, if you are fighting gun enemy, is better to HVT em quickly since your tac-bar is limited by kills, crits ( unarmed and melee ) and executions and doesn´t regenerate until the wave is completed.

"Is there a swarm of eggheads blocking your way?" then fear not if you have follow through and a slash weapon in your hand ( just be sure to hold shift to do it )

Hirelings having a crash with a enemy?, do a dash attack heavy or light doesn´t matter is a free hit to dizzy or knockdown ( plus saving mr dumb dumbs from dropping its weapon if they have melee ).

Be aggresive with guns since as you go, they become more common to find and not many enemy will try to dodge you anyways, get pick up leaping and you can just sprint + take it while being inmune to bullets.

When you can, give mandarangs a try after you unlock its disarm ability is literally a F!@? u to the enemy specially shield type and guns wielders ( stunmans being better later thx to shuriken arc ).

when ya do magiturd dont use the magic stuff ya get outside of the robe and the hat (the book is nice against vamps i guess) while certainly weak the origin is at least playable if ya avoid em the wands penalise you too mutch(losing a corpus every time ya reload is not the trade off the devs think it is) the staffs dont scale into late game and the book only has one round of ammo

For story mode on Madness, always choose the set up with 5 corpus (Sandford&Deimos can regen their 2 first corpus between each bossfight step of a level/S3LF-Eater can also do it but need to checked) since they got more armor protection and good weapons especially with the Prime Blade. Prioritize healing Hank/Sandford/Deimos in the last level since Jebediah will not be available during Gestalt&Phobos final fight. All the others advices have been already said earlier in this chat.

That's pretty much it
