The whole idea here is to just hold these two positions. Play it safe for the first couple of turns, as you don’t want to expose yourself on the way to the right supply drop, since you’ll have to use the stairs that go further right. I ended up putting Gabe down here, but it might be a smarter idea to put Sid there. The right side will be a little tougher, as it’s the wider area and will feature more Grenadiers and Hammerburst Drones. Keep Mikayla’s sniper overwatch similarly positioned, as a group of Wretches will be one of the first waves to spawn from that side of the map. Keep that squadmate centrally positioned and have them place an overwatch cone on the stairs on the left side of that courtyard. The left supply drop is the easiest to get to, and arguably the easiest to defend. I also recommend having a heavy-class troop in your squad, or perhaps a higher level support if you have one by now.Įssentially, have two squadmates with some level of range and/or heavy damage posted on the bridge (you may have to change up position to get decent angles on some enemies), and one positioned at the supply drop zone on the left and one on the right. This is also where Gears Tactics’ differences to the actual XCOM games shows up, since you and enemies can’t jump down off higher elevation without a ladder.Īll in all, this is a surprisingly easy mission.įirst things first, make sure Mikayla Dorn (your new sniper) is in your squad, as the bridge that runs through the center of town here will be a perfect spot for her to flex on both sides of the map. This is all about establishing a hold on two positions and holding onto it for the necessary number of turns. Welcome to your first side mission in Gears Tactics. Take control of the site and retrieve the cargo before the grubs destroy it all.” “Locust forces are encroaching on a shipment of valuable supplies. Optional objective: Hold both control zones for 2 or more consecutive turns.
