How do I deal with super agents?

[moonlightavenger]

Since I'm stuck with this game and can't refund... How am I supposed to deal with super agents and their five OP minions that teleported into my base?

I'm salty as ♥♥♥♥, but it is a legitimate question. I'm stumped. They mow through everything.

Same problem. I had 70 military minion and they massacred them. I had only one henchman and level two technology because I cant find how to get another one or to unlock any tech after 16 hours. It's a joke.

Sounds like y'all are causing too much heat too fast, or not being careful with Super Agents on the map. Ya just gotta slow it down and be more careful. Spread out the networks, do missions on sections without the Super Agents and they won't come to your base. Keep heat below 150 for any one region to prevent soldiers. And if you do get a surprise visit sounds the red alarm and focus your henchmen on the guys. Also, weapons for your minions can help a lot.

After all, the game is about hiding your true plans and staying off the radar till your plans are complete.

Hey, to be honest, deal with SUper agent directly at the start, only with your own minion it's impossible, you need to set traps etc if you want an " aggressive " play. Or, you can do like said BoxedsCoffee, avoid at maximum to be detected, and play very slowly and safe.

I'm not. In fact, i spend more time looking for missions that lower heat in the map than making money, since those 'events' that raise heat just pop up everywhere.

Red alarm doesn't help. Minions won't converge on the intruders, they just run around (like they did in the original, mind you, but at least in the original I could arm workers).

This didn't help. There is still that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ in the middle of my base and my evil genius who insists on fighting them.

For Agent X in particular, my advice would be to just let him do his thing. Fighting him isn't worth it. Just leave him and his squad alone, clean up the planted evidence once he's gone, and spam a few heat reducing missions in P.A.T.R.I.O.T. territory. (Even if that criminal network has no heat, doing these types of missions still reduces your faction threat level.)

And if soldiers arrive as a result of his actions... well, truth be told they're much easier to deal with than super agents.

Traps won't help. They spawed in the middle of the base. Also, I'm not playing 'aggressive'.
And I just replied to them.

I've been doing leteraly one heat reducing misison for every operation. But I didn't know that about the overrall heat on the faction. I'm gonna try that.

Build your base in consequence, place traps in corridors, super soldier have exit :) just guide them into a big devil dungeon, and place traps everywhere, it's work well :)

Yeah I have created a topic where have described this whole nonsense. Have to start a new game cause my hole base goes rekt after atomic olga "visit" It is ridiculous . In EG 1 you generated heat based on the mission competition and needed overall heat to trigger super agent. Here like you said traps don't work on them they teleport and visit you every 5 mins no matter what you do. NONSENSE and really a step back from a previous game. FOJ even don't give you chance to develop you base peacefully and have to research everything you need.

[Firt2000]

I think a game is fun if you have a challenge, today lots of developers make bad game for " give a chance " to the player. Have a goal to achieve with some pressure it's what make the game fun xD.
And to be honest, the game is not very hard, if you build a solid starting base, you're not gonna have any problems. And for build a solid base, you have to make money, and for make money, without getting spot too quickly, you have to find the good balance between do missions or not.

here is a trick to NEVER gettings SAs

NEVER DO A JOB IN A PROVINCE THEY ARE IN. LET THE REGION BE LOCKED DOWN.

They only show up if YOU make them show up. If you never do a job in a region they are idle in, they will never appear.

[ttv.VertigoTeaparty]

Make sure you have good camera coverage and plenty of seating in the Armoury, and a good number of guards (25+ at least.) I know it's a bit late now but get a strong combat henchman if you can, like Jubei.

Having your guards all converge on threats TOGETHER is crucial. If you have good camera coverage and a lot of guards at your guard tables, they will all rush (mostly) together to deal with the threat. Ensure you have plenty of weapons available too.

Another thing to note about super agents is that, as far as I can tell, Super Agents only show up at your base if you do a mission in the region they're patrolling. I THINK they can also show up if you start really going out of your way to piss off their faction, though I'm not 100% sure.

I'm about 12 hours in and so far I've only had to deal with 1 visit from agent X despite having 4 Super Agents on the map.

As far as heat/threat goes, my best advice is: do not neglect your cover operation. Have plenty of distractions about, plenty of spare valets (at least twice as many valets as casino items to avoid being understaffed.) and enough socialites to keep agents constantly occupied. Why do all of this? Because every time an Agent leaves your base with 0 suspicion, it reduces your threat level significantly. (Sending 5 average agents home with no evidence usually drops my threat level by nearly 100 points! I'm playing Emma, for reference, so your results may vary.)

I play on hard and I’ve found Red Ivan’s rocket kills super agents pretty effectively and takes out their crew too. Minions are only good here to tank while you pummel them when you run out of rockets.

I think later in the game henchmen will be the way forward, for now try to avoid them at all costs,

Seriously, people. Stop with the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. "Guide them". The ♥♥♥♥? Not to mention that traps won't work on super agents anyways.
