Jumped in and finished the intro last night after playing Alien: Isolation for the past month. Getting some tips before I deploy for the first time tonight!

How are you liking it? I pre-ordered it. This game is something else. Bring your Xanax! 😂

@jesusthugmusic I actually loved the game. Didn't like the last mission as much but I beat the game twice. I wish it was longer though or there was DLC. Maybe they'll make a second one!

@@PigPissBeUponThem was an amazing game 👏

One of the best tips i can give is use rt to pause and assess, it works kinda like a turn based strategy game. Pick targets and look at your troops status. Also, move and shoot unless you have a fatal funnel.

That is a good tip

Just downloaded the game, and am getting ready to dive in. Thank you for these tips! I think you've likely saved me a ton of potential frustration.

Shoot and move. If you use suppressive fire it'll slow them, leave room to walk backwards while firing. Use grenades, flamer, sniper and shotgun often. Use rt to pause and assess.

Also, set up to funnel them every chance you get. Bottleneck..

Hey my dude. You have good tips here (just seen a few videos on the topic and yours seemed to be actually helpful, especially the one about the mines, if someone needs to level the difficulty a bit to their liking). If you dont mind, I do think that you should try to tweak your audio editing a little. It sounds a bit static in the background. But this could be easily fixed via software or you try out a better mic (there are really good USB mics for less than a 100 USD out :) ). Also I think that editing out your mouseclick really provides the last 10%. ;) Also: Give your audience some pointers. You already segmented the timeline into headlines. This was helpful. Some corresponding footage of your tips would have elevated it even more. :) Really liked it. Just some friendly thoughts.

Also: i think that people that come to your channel for hints and helps might like not to see scenes from later game that contain story elements. There were two cutscenes that were lightly spoilery. And at that, i was considering turning the video off. :)

Everyone that looks for a good exploitation strategy to "level the battlefield": Use the special skills! You need them. And the game becomes understandably easier with them! Have 1 Recon in the group and equip the sniper rifle. It requires Command Points. Also skill the suppressor option. You can usually pick the enemies one by one and the AI usually does not register the dying comrades well. Because of the CP: have at least 2 Sergeants. They can increase the amount of CP and their recovery. Give one a shotgun and the other the mine. In tight situations, the shotgun is your best friends especially in chokes. If you are in a carefree moment in the mission, the mine will assure that you can always secure at least one route to be cleared. Fill the rest with gunners. With the smartguns, they are a menace. I never used their tripod option. However, I always brought my sentries and only left room to pick up 1 more if i encounter them in a mission. That lead to me having an incredible surplus of sentries during the campaign. (If you notice during a run that you have to evacuate and come back later, it is sometimes even helpful to leave the sentries in a good position and pick them up when coming back, but that matters on the context). Medics can put marines out of a coma. But if shit hits the fan that bad, you can load the last save and now where the tightspot will be (story event or an onslaught you underestimated). They are not worth it in my opinion. Techers are not worth it and can be easily replaced by soldiers with the Smart-something skill, where they can hack, too. 1 Recon, up to 2 Sgt and the rest gunners. I think the "team spirit" skill brings also another boost. But be careful that once you are on a mission, that you do not take a defensive position for too long or too often. You will run out of ammunition. Especially if your team put those bullets out to kill more Xenos. Best to keep on the move and only defend when the narrative demands, when there is an onslaught or if you encounter a queen. You should be good to go. And dont get desperate on the Montero ;)

Thank you!, playing blind at first is good but I hate wasting points traits etc on useless items!

You can even make sure to get what traits you want by just reloading (I just Cheat Engine's speedhack to make that process go much faster, I just can't help but "cheat" this way lol, because some traits are NECESSARY on Nightmare as opposed to say Normal).

Nice vid, thanks a lot!

Glad you liked it. I do have a few more guides and tricks videos if you are looking for more content.

You mentioned using Onslaughts as a way to level characters on the earlier levels, how do you account for/deal with Increased planetary infestation by adding days grinding? I haven’t gotten far enough to see the effects of increased infestation.

@SykenPlays

2 ай бұрын

Prior to a certain point in the game, the days really do not matter and there is always a event that allows you to reduce the planetary infestation by 1, so you could theoretically get your entire roster up and reduce the infestation to level 0 and research most of the tech before starting the doomclock.

How did that happen?

So XP is only gained through killing 2nd tier aliens? Hmm.... So if I stealth my through the game, without firing a shot, I's have level 2 marines at the end?

@SykenPlays

No, Xp is gained for completing missions primarily. Then additional xp is awarded for tier2 aliens. Also, even with stealthy gameplay, you will need to fight from time to time.

Is it time to play yet? 😁😁
