Have you tried using a speed boost? It works like magic, sometimes.

Ditto what Bravo Two said on the speed boosts, but I also remember that you bought the full Paladin Armour set, right? If you have any crystals left, you might want to look into exchanging your chest piece for the Dust Devil chest armour in Survival mode - you might find the extra maneuverability quite useful. Personally, I notice a mobility difference between the Paladin and Dust Devil pants too, but you'll get a bigger boost in speed switching the chest armour than the pants.

Also...don't know whether the veterans would agree with me on this one, but the first enemies I always go for are the wasps - their speed and poison annoys me to no end, so they're always my absolute priority as long as there isn't a dangerous mutant nearby that I can finish off with one shot. Getting hit by a Red Wasp usually leaves me in a VERY sticky situation if there are any other wasps or enemies nearby...

Of course you want to take them down first. They are some easy targets. Doing so rids you of future trouble. Getting hit by a poisonous bite makes you vulnerable to the other mutants.

Thanks for the tips, we have to get together & play sometime.

If you surpass the limit, the next group of mutants will be activated and they will start to run to join the first group and you will have 2 shamans to take care of. If you keep running in the wrong direction you will activate the next group and you will get your 3 shamans together.

On Hard mode, shamans can be usually killed with a CRIT shot. If this does not work, add a damage boost and ... voilá!

I was stuck in the same place for a while too. For some reason, that second group of enemies also triggers if you go too far backwards too, leaving you very little space in which to deal with the first contaminator. Same problem a little ways up the hill too; lead the drill mechs too far back down, and it'll trigger the shaman and ranged mutants way up ahead.

Also, I'm really struggling with power in general. I'm playing on normal, and even a crit from my bullseye doesn't quite kill the shaman. I always have to follow up the crit shot with some rifle spray, which isn't easy with the contaminator there.

Thanks for the game. It was really funny seeing you in action. Your Prometheus allowed to keep the multiplier in 100x at the end of wave 17, but I would have loved seing you using the shotgun.

I have learned two important lessons:

1) One must always wear his own shoes and not the shoes of others. I used today your setup based on CRIT to surprise you ... and you saw the results. Used to play based on SPEED and not on CRIT, I got caught more times than I use to be.

2) The solution of turning off the 3G line (and keep Wifi only) does not guarantee full protection against disconnections. Being disconnected in the middle of wave 21 was not a disaster today because the score was far from perfect, but I can imagine my feeling if it had been.

You have learned one important lesson:

1) If you play with me, you will get the crystals I use to get and not the crystals you use to get. 12 crystals after 21 waves .... You know now how I feel often.

Tomorrow I will return to the wilderness for another 10 days. So .. no wifi and no co-op. If you invite me and I do not respond, do not think that I am healing my wounds. "Connection failed .... ". You know.

Thanks again, Sir

Hey boss

I noticed you got hit during every wave. You are definetly right about everyone's personal style.

Sorry for the disconnection during the middle of wave 21. That was my fault due to an important call that came.

I get all random amounts of crystals as well.

Good game and see you around.

Yet another random question to you veterans, particularly those of you who specialise in farming: for orange class weapons, would it be faster to grind for a silver-based weapon (e.g. Beast, Scorpion) or crystal-based weapons (Apollon, Harbringer, etc)? Trying to decide which form of currency I should be more liberal with with respect to weapons, I'm not really eyeing any more armour just yet.

Definitely. Before leaving the city (the wifi area), to see if I had lost my skills or it was a problem with the setup, I did a solo run. With my usual setup based on Speed, I managed to score over 14 million again. Far from my personal record, probably because I kept some of the CRIT elements...

So it is clear now: I will never play again disguised as another player

See you around
