Need help with Shipyard as Security

(Metal-Geo) #1

So yeah, I’m not at Day 6 with the Security (I’m taking my time with Campaign!) and I’m having all sorts of difficulties winning this mission.

We (or actually, just ME) fixed the crane last minute, with a little 10 seconds left to go. Then it was on to the hacking of the cannon. And this was just proven to be impossible. Mind you, I set the difficulty to Easy. But the whole thing just felt unfair the entire time. :frowning: I don’t know whether to blame the enemy AI, the friendly AI, the horrible, HORRIBLE chokepoints of the map, or just all three.

Anyone have any good tips to finish this mission? Cheers.

Find a co op game online its much easier, finished all of it yesterday. As for the horrible chock points, that’s kind of the idea, to focus the battles. I managed to do the security “plane” mission guarding the hydro all on my own. Just stick a centry gun and mine down and camp it out.

Get some good teammates online or hide behind the obstacle just behind the missile whilst hacking, it should give you 4-5 bars the thing should be able to shield you from bullets whilst praying that your teammates are with you and if you’re lucky the ai would be dumb enough to not detect you (or do both).

as Daz Troyer said, play it co-op, look that you always got a engy who sets up a turret and mines/gives you kevlar and a medic who immediately revives you if you’re down, then it should be no problem.

had a match last night on this map as security in free play, we lost horribly.
i fixed the crane up to 98% and then we ran out of time, because noone guarded me while doing it. everyone was so busy to blow up the barricades. that they don’t even noticed there’s another way inside.

all about teamplay, the problem is my mic’s broken, so i couldn’t tell them to watch my back.

Yeah, Shipyard as Security was pretty hard for me too…

Shipyard as security.
For the first part, as an engineer, rush to the main barricade and place a turret just in the entrance, it should keep the enemy at bay for some time and allow your team to have an advantage. Plus, always buff your teammates. If you can buff them with kevlar too, that’s a nice bonus for them. Keep the enemy at bay during the first wave.

If you don’t succeed quickly in securing the area, you will have the enemy team building the main barricade. Move up just a little so that you can pick off the engineers building the barricade while only exposing your head. Then move in carefully, pick off the straglers, build your turret and move onto the crane to do the objective.

The key is :
-Buff your teammates
-Prevent the enemy team from building the main barricade or any barricade at the beginning and during the entire lengh of the game.
-Secure the area around the crane
-When you’re working on the crane, if there are a lot of enemies coming, stop and kill them first

If you don’t risk being overrun at the crane, you can also stop in the first command post to upgrade it to give an health bonus, if you have the ability. It helps too.
It takes some work but once you found the right tactic, the mission isn’t really that hard.

Same goes for the second part. Secure the area with a turret and a mine, keep the enemy at bay. Once you’ll have cleared it well enough, bots will start hacking it.

I finished the mission on normal. It’s really challenging. During the first part, I almost banged my head against the wall in frustration. But once you start to come up with a tactic and know what to do, it becomes easier.
