I want to know if anyone can give can give me some tips on how to finish arcadia outskirts on legendary under par time i have tryed it more then 6 times but i just cant finish it under the time limit. please help!
Not sure what the time limit is, or wether this’ll beat it straight away, but once you get the hang of it you should be able to beat par time, it’s what i did so i know it works.
From mision start take your units rather than take the direct route to the crater, take the path to the left (where the mega turret spawns), leave 2 ODST’s and the Spartan “Jrome” (the one with the spartan lazer) in those garrisons points and move onto the crater, clear out the units as quickly as possible and aim to minimise casualties, rotate the units that are under fire if you need to, (By this i mean, as a units drops to low health move it out of the enemy weapons range whilst usint any other units with more health to cover it so the enemy can’t pursue that way the enemy with swich to a different target, then you can bring the unit you retreated back to the fight and it shouldn’t now be under attack)
Once cleared, build up your base (Aim to build ODST’s and Cobra’s), for defence use the garrison slots ontop of the crater to the north in the direction of the covy base, place Alice and an ODST squad in the double slot, and Douglas? (The spartan with the rocket launcher) in the single slot. and have your other units cover the highway to the west, take the garrison reactors as early as possible.
In theory the meage turret should be killed of by the units you left in garrison by it before it finishes building, if not kill it as fast as you can and take the second base. Now build up ODST’s & cobra’s Untill you have at least 20 ODST and 5 cobra’s send 5 ODST and 2 cobra’s over the highway to the west clearing it as you go and move them to the enemy base, move your remaining units to attack the covy base from the south and have the units you sent over the highway to attack from the north locking down your cobra’s as soon as they are in range and now destroy the Covy base.
Do this correctly and you shouldn’t need the Extra spartans. I won the mission before they arrived. which i guess puts you under par time as i have all the achievements
If this doesn’t work try doing it Co-Op
Co-op makes everything easier.
