Guide to Combat Tactics

Introduction

To get one of the achievements (and unlocks) you need to use all the combat tactics. Some are more obvious than others, so I am assembled this guide.

Combat Tactics

Bring them on!

• Kill 5 enemies in a single turn
• Reward: +2 damage for 2 turn

Get’em from the side

• Score 4 flanking shots at non-melee enemies in a single turn

Take Cover

• Hunker down everyone, with nobody being flanked.
• Reward: 20 defense to everyone

Too Loud

Back from the dead
