Here's a hot tip: If someone on your team is dead and you're also about to be dead, call in a Reinforce strategem but then just hold it, don't throw it. When you die, your corpse will drop the Reinforce strategem and it will call all team members back... including YOU!

[neko_otaku_guy]

Playing with randos is half the fun, just spent 2 hours playing with one guy through an operation on challenging.

[jewunit]

Bro really recommended muting your allies and going off on your own, this video was made by a terminid stalker

[Fransens]

Look out for radar towers. You can go there, do the side-objective and it will show ALL explorable bits on the map.

[ZZMonkeysUncleZZ]

Another thing that should be mentioned is that you DON’T need to fight every enemy you come across. Enemies in this game are really quick to call for reinforcements, so purposely aggroing every patrol is just going to get your team worn down and killed.

[Zeontubers]

The WASD keys (movement keys) on pc are also the buttons to call in stratagems so they HAVE to stand still to call something in

[TheJiminyJim]

Advice on high diff, less killing more moving, the enemies spawn non stop, u are just waisting time staying in one place and shooting, always move away and killing is only just to shoot those immidiate threats, if it can't hurt you - kite it and forget about it and just run to obj. Everything you use is basically just to hold off the enemy, and if u lucky they will even loose the sight of you and u will get a breather.

Pro tip, when there is like a horde of bugs on your intened way and behind you is a bigger threat, you can often run through a group of them, avoidng and jumping inbetween, they are often abashed by this mindset and will barely bite you.

[Troupe_Master]

MANNN...the different Bio forms for the Terminids are straight up bad ass.

These things are so hard to kill and you really feel like you are being hunted. These nasty creatures will flank you and try to corral and push you into a corner to eat you.. absolutely amazing game that it makes you feel kinda scared of these things😂

[Okatago]

The reason for some players just standing there when using their stratagems is cause on the PC the default buttons for em are their WASD which is also their movement keys. So I changed these to my numpad numbers so I can run and punch in the Stratagem inputs as I run. (there seems to be a slight bug for this though as anytime I boot up the game again it doesn't save my numpad keys for my stratagem inputs which is likely those keys specifically it won't save.)

[Haze-kzxg]

If you can’t find a match right now try this.
1.Choose the mission
2. Put console on rest mode
3. Turn back on and choose the same mission.

People load in pretty quick after

[ThanosShouldSnap]

Couple other tips: You can fire your weapon while diving in any direction. When you are running away, you can shoot behind you while running, but only with one handed weapons like secondary weapons & the SMG. Also there are big dud bombs some places across the map in the ground. You can shoot them for a pretty big free explosion

[o_xxie]

if you are on pc activating a stratagism takes over your movement keys, so what i did was switch them out for my arrow keys so i could move and call in! my friend told me you can do the same with mouse movements but it stops you from looking around while calling in, havent been able to try it because the game is down rn

[Quicksilver_Cookie]

Crazy discovery was the fact that those red and blue doors you find buried in trenches can be blown up, and there's often 20 of premium currency, or medals. That sort of stuff. Looking for those will easily double your materials gain. Many probably know, but many others don't.

[ThiagoIzequiel]

Something that went by without much notice, but you learn on the first game, is that the light beacon from strategems calls up enemies that might be around. So if you are playing solo pay attention to this, specially because going solo means going unnoticed most of the time. If you throw a strategem in a group of enemies, even if they didn't noticed you at first, they will notice you as soon as the strategem hits the ground and will come towards you. So keep your distance. Another good tip is to stay away from patrols by always checking your radar and killing (with a rifle) them at distance. They won't notice you fast enough to call reinforcements mainly because it will take some time for them to see where you are. Crouch, lay down on the ground, and shoot.

I’m loving solo so far but I can see how that won’t last long, it’s just not that type of game. I’d love to hop into a match with some randoms but on ps5 quick play hasn’t been working all day. Anyway thanks for the tips great vid !

[shoulderpyro]

Note for taking the dropships out:

Only the rear end of the 4 engines are destructible. You only need to hit one to down the dropship, but hitting anywhere else won't do shit.



Some Automaton maps will also have SAM sites to activate which will shoot em down for you within a set radius.


And speaking of Automatons, ALWAYS check if their ECM jammers are active in your zone. They'll randomize what you're calling in, so when you think you're getting a support weapon or supplies, you're actually just summoning an orbital strike on your team, or a sentry or gods know what else. The only two not affected by the ECM are the reinforcement and evac (and any objective critical strats)

[Xero]

If you make another video add in the supply packs. Learned today that if you press 5 it full resupplies your ammo while wearing it. And also if someone calls down a normal resupply. If there’s some extra you can grab them and restock the backpack itself.

[certifiedcthulhucultist]

There is also a bunker you can find that needs 2 players to open by pressing the yellow buttons at the same time (seen here 2:41 ) there is also half buried shipping container looking things that you can blow open with an explosive that have loot inside, Lastly if you have the secondary objective to reload the artillery gun you should do that first because it will let you use the gun to call in fire support on the enemy, the shells you load into the gun matter as well, a few shell types are: high explosive, napalm, anti armor and probably a few more I haven't used yet.

[cornellfigueroa]

If you are on PS5, I know moving the mini map with the D pad can be annoying, use the touch pad to move it around 💪🏽

[Skimer]

Honestly playing solo will help you develop tactics and ways to make it work. I've completed multiple Challenging/Hard bug and robot missions solo ( obviously not all objectives) but it will carve you a path on how to play smart and tactically. Now do that with a full squad and you will basically be an elite team for democracy.
