A couple tips you should know.
- Melee penetrates armor, so your armor is useless against melee damage. The only thing that will save you from melee attacks is just simply having high HP(100+)
- The prison that jackhammer chills in, the walls and floors are destructible. Put holes in the walls with grenades and rockets, and shoot melee enemies from afar and stay out of close range with them.
- Have LIVEWIRE in your team. Seriously. She has a unique skill where if you have intel for that sector, then all enemies in that sector are highlighted and visible through walls.
- Use overwatch to keep melee enemies in check. This is why its important to have livewire on the team so you know exactly where the melee enemies are and set someone to ambush the paths they have to take to get to you with overwatch. ESPECIALLY machine gun overwatch, it’s stupidly overpowered. This one tip will eliminate any melee character problems you will have.
- Enemies do not attack hidden mercs. If the enemy has not discovered your hidden mercs before they start their turn, they will not attack you, even if they run right up to you and discover you during their turn. Take advantage of this by using stealth in battle and go hidden.
- DO NOT attack melee targets when your in their melee attack range. They WILL automatically retaliate. Step a square away from them, and then shoot.
- Modify the hell out of your weapons. This is how you doing better in combat when your gun is able to hit more consistently when your weapon has a lot of accuracy mods installed on it. You do not want to be missin when theirs a dude swinging his stab stick in your face.
Yeah, this level is terribly designed. Tedious movement in turn-based mode around a huge map plus enemies that can one-shot you when you finally find them is a terrible combination. You’re so bored from slowly trudging through the level that you can’t be bothered to play super carefully after a while. Then you randomly run into one of these enemies—whose AI is seemingly turned off until they get a visual on you—and they 1-shot your mercs in a single turn despite having run absurd distances. Very fun, very good design indeed. This is in the same category of broken as Rocket Men in this game.
A lot of this would be remedied if the game reverted back to real-time mode upon not having seen enemies for a couple of turns, like JA2 does. At least then it would not be boring to retry.
I just downloaded the cheat mod and deleted all the enemies on the map because this level is absolute sh!t.
