Overview
Some things i learned during my 19.7+ hours of MG:S
Tips
- Detonators only spawn on normal and hard. If you backstab them they won’t blow up and you can collect loot from them
- Press shift while readying your weapon to aim down sights
- Grenade turrets are strong
- If a bomber is near something you don’t want blowing up, just backstab them and they won’t blow up.
- use CQC on armored to knock off their helmet (i prefer to use the parry or backstab)
- to get an S rank on hard 1 person has to speed up the digger the entire time, 2 people killing before they reach the digger, and 1 person doing side quests (helps defenders once sidequests are done)
- Sidequests are very useful as they can have orbs of iris sometimes which give 5k iris for each one
- For sidequests, you won’t get the items specified, you only get the materials required to build it. you must have the blueprint for the item in order to make use of those materials. (walkers are the exception)
- Warp points are shared between all players. have someone place 1 warp point at the digger, and then the other 3 players should place them on the map (near chokepoints or sidequests, more so sidequests)
- If you have the running attack for your specified weapon unlocked, start the attack slightly early to reduce the chances of getting hit before you can get an attack off.
- Craft a few extras of items you might use a lot. ammo, for example, craft an excess amount and put them in the repository so that when you need to stock up you only have to go to change equipment and then press shift to stock up.
- You craft 2 bullets/shells for guns at a time, and 10 arrows at a time
- craft broken gear for a chance of getting a stronger and more durable version of your current gear
- The dive attack will negate fall damage
- Interacting with the drill allows you to speed up the drill, summon tactical support (spawns metal gear ray to kill enemies), and withdraw. Always speed up the drill so you can get an S rank. Also never withdraw unless the drill has 1 chunk of hp left.
- don’t let the drill be destroyed, otherwise, you lose half your iris
- each chunk of hp that you lose on the drill will set off a blast that kills nearby enemies.
- When you do a Heavy Attack with any weapon, and you have the Extra Attack Skill for said weapon, if you press left click after your heavy attack, you will shoot off a very powerful and fast attack.
- When you reach your required Iris Energy (100k for easy, 200k for Normal, 300k for Hard) you can actually withdraw before wave 3 ends. Withdrawing converts all your Iris Energy into S Rank. SO If your digger is red already, might as well pull out if you don’t have enough walls or ammo to kill zombies away.
