First things first: the basics or: How the hell do I play this game?

As you may have already noticed, you have guns and melee/shields.
If you shoot with the gun, it fires.
If you shoot with the melee, it will either pull enemies closer to you or charge tesla coil and turret.
If you shoot with the shield, it will create an energy field that disrupts energy bullets and blocks rockets.

This "strategy" will be centered around a grenade launcher and a shield.

This strategy is ment to be a simple-ish way of playing (and improving at) the game.

So, here is the playstyle:
1. If wave is between 26 and 30, improvise (Really. If you managed to get this far, your instincts are better than my advice).
2. Before every wave, check the radar to see where the most enemies spawn.
3. Shoot your grenade at the largest group of enemies before they fire.
4. Shoot your energy field to the side where the most enemies will shoot from (IMPORTANT: Shoot your shield BEFORE the enemise shoot, otherwise you might get hit with a bullet that was hard to dodge).
5. Shoot the enemies that AREN'T behind the shield.
6. Shoot the enemies that are behind the shield.
7. If your energy field runs out: repeat from step 3.
8. If wave over: repeat from step 1.

Of coure there are exceptions to this. If there are rockets, you might want to focus on blocking the rockets and thinning the croud until you feel comfortable enough to destroy the rocket-drones. If a particular enemy is giving you trouble, don't be afraid of changing your gun type to something more fit to the situation, just remember that grenades can often destroy most of the drones in a wave with one shot (very useful for the "space invaders"-like waves).

This guide is mostly just me writing what "strategy" has gotten me through my early days of this game and hepled me to improve in the hopes that it will help others.


Thank you for reading and now go blow up some shiny metal ass!
