Messy mission = AR rocks
This one isn't as fun as 94, or as hectic but still a bit of a mess.
Ideal weapons:
- Heavy Bomber Phobos Z Plan 4 to help kill colonists, and damage Cosmos
- ZEXR to help with flying enemies
- ZEX Launcher for the same effect. Don't use the ZEX Launcher when the tadpoles are present, you'll likely regret it... 😋
- Nix ZC will be much more useful here, but Red Guard can also work
Weapons don't have to be fully upgraded to succeed.
Armor: 1000+
Can be done with base armor, but due to how hectic the mission is, it's difficult not to be hit, especially by drones.
Plan:
There's a small group of NPCs ahead of you, capture them and when you reach the road install ZEX Launcher to the sides and activate, send ZEXRs to the beach and activate. When the colonists are on the beach use Phobos on them, sideways with a narrow side to the right seems to work better. It's difficult to aim Phobos as the red hit area becomes too small and not hitting the 2 exoskeletons NPCs becomes hard. There are 3 groups of NPCs on the beach that could be useful but unless you kill ALL colonists that appear which is unlikely it's a bad idea to try to get them, so just move around the road, and summon your exoskeleton when you can. As soon as the number of drones is small rebuild immediately the ZEXR as it will be essential next.
The big ship will drop drones type 2, so install ZEXRs if you didn't and activate them, do the same with Launchers when they're ready, staying in the exoskeleton as much as possible. Nix ZC is good for drones, use missiles, and machine guns on them. When colonists are on the beach, use Phobos on them. Concentrate Nix ZC bullets and cannon on laser colonist, if you're using Red Guard use canister shots on him.
Reload ZEXRs when possible (few drones are present). Keep summoning more exoskeletons when you have points.
The last wave of drones type 2 will show up, with imperial ones. Use ZEXRs, Launcher, and Exo shots on imperial drones. Cannisters from Red Guard will work on imperial drones, but Nix ZC will be much more efficient with bullets and cannon.
When the cavalry arrives, it's important to capture WDs that show up in the middle of the group before they go to the beach (probably to the right of where you're), then capture both large fencer squads on each side of the WD squad, which although slow is equipped with cannons, they will handle Cosmos. Ranger is impossible for now.
At this point mission is won. Jump to the beach over the fight and pick crates, mostly weapons and health. Don't shoot any cosmos from now on! Try to bring down the right transport dropping tadpoles, as it has no point existing except annoying.
Either the NPCs or NPC Barga will handle the heavy cosmos, which one is irrelevant but for the sake of NPCs always keep picking up health crates. Tadpoles will massacre Barga eventually.
Once all cosmos are dead and you pick up everything then sit quietly under last transport, NPCs will bring it down alone. That's why auto farming isn't possible on this one.
This becomes a lot easier if you can use the ZE Blaster instead of the ZEX Launcher. The ZE Blaster lasts longer and is more effective, even though slower at tracking enemies. You can use any vehicle you want, although some will be dreadful to take down the transports, remember NPCs will do that if necessary.
