Metal Slug: Awakening – Shootout Challenge Guide

Guide to Shootout Challenge

By Xpectation

Make sure that you put the right guns debuffs in the proper slots. This way there will be a yellow line showing underneath your guns. This will result in you getting a 25% attack buff and thus you will do more damage in shootout events. (See picture below)

Also in a team of 3 players, you want 1 dps character (firepower) and 2 supports (spec ops). This way the supports can buff the dps character for higher damage. Afterwards you can change roles and let someone else be the dps so everyone can get the highest damage possible (this means playing 3 games). If possible on support roles take cores that give % bonus atk to teammates.

Best character to deal damage is Scarlett. Best 2 supports are Nadia and Haran.

There is a trick with Haran where if you use your ultimate ability when the timer off the boss is at 57 seconds left, that you will freeze 1 boss in place while the other charges towards the other side of the map.

Thus both bosses will be on top of each other due to this, and you can deal extra damage by doing AOE attacks.

If you stand under the boss his attacks can’t hit you.

There are 2 buffs, a blue one which gives you faster RoF (rate if fire) and an orange one that will give you more damage. So best to jump on 1 of them and then go back under the boss.

I hope this helps.
