Brute Posted January 6, 2003 Report Share Posted January 6, 2003 in first week i use machine guns and heavy cannons w/ explosive ammo. Why? Because in first week, ammo is VERY limited, and i overcome this problem with using clips with high bullet count, or dealing splash damage:link:second week comes the plasma pistol, oe of the most efficient guns in the game. First it has 42 bullets, second high damage, 3rd you can hold one each hand with no penalty!!! -real time only-Awesome firepower. i use this pistols until i research disruptor gun Later ;use disruptor gun!!! No ammo expenses, high damage. i hold one in each hand. They are not very accurate, yet they are deadly. 6 units can hold 12 disruptor guns and with full auto, they will spread beams all over the screen, killing everythinguse devastator cannon. No ammo and higher damage, also accurate :alienlol: When the aliens start to use DISRUPTOR SHIELDS, toxiguns became a must!!! You must dedicate a lab to manufacture clips, and they cost you money, but you will overcome this economic solution by selling the disruptor shield. Bonus : You'll kill aliens quicker and your men will keep alive Later my soldiers configurations are always the same. They have1 toxigun -hand1 cloaking field -handdisruptor armor -armor1 motion scanner -arm2 stun, 1 smoke, 1 incendiary grenades -belt1 vortex mine -leg1 medikit -leg2 disruptor shields -bag11 toxigun C-clips using soldiers like that -also using the weapons,explosives! aliens drop- i finished ALL alien missions sing only 2 soldiersTRY!!!

muxec Posted January 8, 2003 Report Share Posted January 8, 2003 I use Machine Guns every time against Humans. Machine Gun is very fast weapon and it has enought power. When you are close to the target most of bullets hit him. When target is distant crawl. It allows you increase the accuracy drastically, so half of bullets will arive their destination even in long range. Also i use one minilauncher against humans in their buildings and mind bender to make them drop disr. shields. It is very good tactics for TB. Against aliens i use Machine guns and Auto cannons (HE) in the beginning and toxiguns after researching toxiguns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brute Posted January 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2003 Yes, machineguns will raise your accuracy well. But toxiguns do that bettermachinegun 3round/stoxigun 4round/sAnd toxigun is YOUR technology Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muxec Posted January 9, 2003 Report Share Posted January 9, 2003 Toxigun is best anti-alien weapon, but MG is best anti human weapon (may be except entropy launcher or mini launcher). Human armed with toxigun can kill up to 15 aliens per turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brute Posted January 10, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2003 Against aliens, the dimension missile+entropy launcher really drives me mad. But i didn't tried that against humans. i snipe humans with devastator cannons. they have high damage and free of ammo.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muxec Posted January 10, 2003 Report Share Posted January 10, 2003 Devastator cannon is good for disabling alien buildings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THX!Here we go...Firstly dealing with megaspawn. He is a frightening biig-aaaassss, but you'll have to go close to him to easily kill him. When he is in the blast radius, he won't use his rockets. And it'll be cheese for you to kill him with using toxiguns. just research the disruptor shields ASAP You need to research craft disruptor beams first in order to research the disruptor shields for craftsstatis field bomb doesn't require anything, but you'll have to wait for the escort ships.X-com armour is researched after researching craft energy shieldYou need to capture ALL aliens ALIVE and research them both living and dead -micronoids, poppers, megaspawns, psimorphs, skeletoids, athropods are left; if you had researched toxB succesfully-Stunning megaspawn is a hard work. i advice you to use 3 soldiers.2 is equipped with dual stun grapplers1 is equipped with a marsec machine gun -to drop his sheer healt without killing him-fire him like mad and you'll capture him -be close to it to avoid rockets, kill his escorts to panic him-No Problem!

muxec Posted January 15, 2003 Report Share Posted January 15, 2003 Megaspawns are very easy to stun in turn based. One psionist that check his health and solider with graper and toxigun/machinegun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
