Introduction

All credit goes to Rebellion!

Score Attack is an exciting, fast paced and challenging mode in Strange Brigade. In either single or co-op modes you are faced with a range of adversaries that you must dispatch in order to progress to the next stage.

Use devastating weapons and traps to take out the terrifying horde. Completing a number of bonus objectives will allow for a much higher score at the end of your run. These include:

Tips for Score Attack

• Running through each level stage a number of times can aid in understanding where you will face certain enemies. Knowing where they will appear can aid in speeding up your run time. 
• Utilise your special power abilities as they can cause mass devastation. Make sure to build up your special ability with your amulet as you progress though the stage. 
• Explosives can have a huge impact on your Score attack run. They can clear the way for you to swiftly access special weapons or provide better space between you and your foes. 
• Experimenting with your load out can be advantageous, as certain weapon and explosive combinations can work better than others. 
• Watch out for traps hidden within the map environment. Activating these can not only clear the enemy horde but also grant impressive bonus points. 
• Consider explosive barrels as a means to thin the hideous herd of horrors. One carefully placed shot can wipe out a substantial group of fiendish foes. 
• Make sure to visit ammunition reserves during your run. It is more than likely you will get through a lot of ammo during your confrontation with the undead horde, so make sure to keep topping up. 
• Try to keep as much distance as possible between you and the enemy. This space allows for one to place their shots more tactically and prevents succumbing to attack. 
• Special weapons in the game can deal significant damage. Use them to full effect and reap the added bonus rewards at the end of the round. 
• Keep an eye on the time as reaching certain checkpoints and ultimately finishing the round within the allotted time cap, will provide bonus points upon successful completion.
