Shortstop4313 Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 Okay. I just got this mission today, where I had to go rescue a pair of Reticulans who are about to get owned. Is there anyway of doing this mission? As soon as I drop in, a bunch of Car-Crabs start nuking me with lightning if I ignore them to go after the Morelman with the Alien RL. No matter what I can't even seem to get started, it's like dropping down into the worst ambush ever. I mean, like X-com: UD on Superhuman and I'm doing a terror site at night hard... Is there anyway to get past this mission? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackAlmaz Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 i found this mission verey easy the first time...i just hade every one with adv lasers...and pointed at the slime spiters firts...through a few grandes.....most of those things are weak against nades....once u clear the arae next to u go ahead..... What armour are u using...dont use light for this one no matter how good it looks...by than u have all kinds of tech stuff....i'm shore if u poot your head to work u can find something lying around your base that will be usefull..... i think if u paced the Russian base u should have no trouble with this one.....

Shortstop4313 Posted November 25, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 Well already beat the Russia Area 51 mission, after a bit of a struggle and 4 empty Medical Packs. I'm just getting ambushed and absolutely destroyed on this mission. We can't stand up to the 4 crabs and the 2 manowars that are shooting at us!

Deejax Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 For me this mission took place in biomass, so a completely different set of enemies. In you case maybe you should use lots of grenades and warp weapons. Man-o-wars can't take much damage and car crabs are a little more vulnerable to explosions and warp. Or try to make a smoke screen so the RL guy needs to close in, buying you some more time to deal with the others fist. How close by are the car crabs/man-o-wars when you start? IIRC the playing field in this mission is quite small. So don't take snipers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocksk Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 Does mini gun and deployable ring a bell? Just bring two and game over for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 I brought mostly snipers to that mission. They killed of the car-crabs and everyone else fairly quickly. Had to reload a few times, but in the end it went fairly easily... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michos Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 Well I used mostly earth heavy weaponry with decent range combined with enchanced heavy armors since the car crabs seem to recharge from plasma or laser hits. The mission was quite easy then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pakkua80 Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 that Mr. gray mission ? ya, just bring 2 guys with Heavy armour and Big round of colapsible machine guns and shoot every Alien insight. I didn't even Move a step even after i drop in. I have another 5 guys with mixture of alien laser gun and some plasma guns and shotguns to take care of nearby aliens. There are some aliens on the "SLOPE" or HILL top that you can't see which is on your left and right. They won't bite you if you are not in their sight. Just kill all those f*****s in 50 meters away. than bomb both sides before you move your choose your fastest guys to lure them to your machine gunner. That will keep them off instantly. I did'nt suffer a bit on this mission. I hate Alien base missions .... I need to rethink on the strategy on the Alien base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aralez Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 Just make sure you take down one enemy after the other in that mission and THEN only walk 1 meter, kill the next, etc. DON'T RUN toward the target, you'll be dead in seconds. When i have to do this mission i do it that way: 1. Crouch and kill everything in sight (one by one), one soldier or two should heal wounded comrades.2. Wait (don't move) and kill appearing enemies. Let them come to you.3. If no enemy shows up anymore, stand up, sometimes you'll see a hidden enemy then and kill it4. That done SLOWLY move in VERY SMALL steps down the valley. DON'T rush.5. Kill appearing enemies one by one and don't forget to heal your crew.6. Find the greys, go home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CydoniaDragon Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Looks very much like I'm going to have to start afresh. I don't seem to have half the equipment mentioned - my first try at this particular game, however, and my first attempt at UFO Enemy Unknown was pretty disasterous, as far as I remember...

CydoniaDragon Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 Looks very much like I'm going to have to start afresh. I don't seem to have half the equipment mentioned - my first try at this particular game, however, and my first attempt at UFO Enemy Unknown was pretty disasterous, as far as I remember...<{POST_SNAPBACK}> ...so I started afresh, kicked ass at the Russian Area 51 (only one fatality), and came to this mission with two of my best guys in heavy armour, one collapsable railgun, one collapsable machine gun and two cannon-fodder for scouting. Car-crabs lasted less than a second - it was hilarious. We won the mission by default. None of the bugs survived - apart from the ones we came to rescue, of course. Not that this game doesn't have its problems - the Biomass is spreading into my territory, and I have no defences so far. I have a Biomass sample being researched, so there is still hope... ...ooops, there goes London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 Well, good luck defending against the biomass then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
