| dbot said: I am really enjoying this game. I am a little upset that I got a D on chapter 6 The Desert. I completed it in 9 turns and I don't understand how I could have done it sooner. I used the sniper, and only deployed a few units at the beginning until I took the forward base. I killed 2 of the 3 tanks and all of the ground units before taking the base. I only lost one unit (Herbert the lazy engineer with a bad attitude). Any ideas? |
You can finish this mission in 1 turn (just like mission 12), DO NOT READ THE BELOW IF YOU CONSIDER SCOUT RUNNER AN EXPLOIT.
Just use Alicia with evade and defense up order and run towards the end, there is only 1 red shock trooper at the final outpost, grenade him out of crouch and headshot him (make sure you are in position under the flag before doing this). This is the easiest mission in the game.
This is also a way to get a ridiculous amount of xp in skirmish mode once you get it, as a single A run gives around 27k xp*
I got my scout to lvl 19 because of this...
I've completely changed my tunes since hitting elite: scouts are the very best unit in the game, you can complete entire missions with just scouts and orders and they are essential to A grading just about every mission.
As a further note, anyone more further ahead than me can confirm if Zaka is useful other than giving me an extra CP? I have not touched him in any mission yet...
