Beginners Guide
HintsKnow When to Extract
It's essential to recognize when to extract from a mission. It's not necessary to complete every objective; instead, focus on chipping away at the mission before supplies run low or the risk becomes too high. Don't wait until your Marines get picked off one by one.
Check Your Map for Loot
As an RTS game, the game features fog of war, limiting your visibility in new areas. Open up the map and zoom in to reveal valuable items such as currency, repair kits, and med kits. Make the most of your time by having all team members loot simultaneously to speed up the process.
Reload Everyone at the Same Time
Save time by having all Marines reload simultaneously. Since they typically use ammo at similar rates, this approach is more efficient than individually reloading each Marine.
Utilize Suppressive Fire
Abuse the suppressive fire skill, a powerful tool. When faced with approaching Xenomorphs, use a command point to set up a suppression area. This allows your Marines to move strategically while maintaining Overwatch mode.
Make the Most of the ARC
The ARC is a valuable asset in the game. Keep it close to your objective area, as Xenomorphs will funnel toward it, providing you with an advantage. Use the ARC to travel to deployment spots closest to your new objective, reducing the pressure before facing the enemies.
Balance Risk and Reward
Exercise caution during missions and avoid unnecessary risks. Prioritize the safety of your Marines to ensure their survival and effectiveness in future encounters.
Plan Efficiently
Strategize and plan your moves carefully. With limited resources and a challenging environment, efficient planning can significantly impact your success.
Learn from Your Mistakes
Expect some failures along the way. Learn from each mistake and use it as an opportunity to improve your approach on future missions.
