If you get the best rank (S rank), then you get a 'bonus� piece. After each mission, the game gives you a score, the final points of which determines your grade. You need 3000+ to get the top, 'S rank', between 2000-2999 to get A rank, 1000-1999 for B rank, and so on. As far as I know, there is no �SS� rank. I�ve scored over 4000 points for a mission, but can�t get it to 5000. Let me know if you do! You will be scored on various things, which are role type specific, but there are always three basic categories, along the lines of Amount of time taken, enemies destroyed, your average attack distance, etc. Each basic gives you a maximum of 500 points. (so 1500 per mission if you max all three). The easiest way to bag the S ranks, however, is to complete the �Extra Operations� within a mission, as each one successfully finished will get you 1000 points to your total! Posted below are all the missions in detail. I've included the HOUND types you get to borrow because they are good basic blueprints for when you start to build. Plus, some of the missions can be quite challenging using the HOUNDS provided... I've some custom ones for the harder S Ranks that I'll also add in, which may help if you are having trouble on a particular one, for example, the secret (shhhh) final mission! ############################################################################### PARTS GLOSSARY: What all those stats actually mean PTGOSS --------------------------------------------------- Acceleration: How fast the chassis gets to top speed. It's inverted, oddly, so the higher the number, the faster the Acceleration. Additional Fuel: Ammo Type: Can carry, but is broadly either Kinetic (Bullets) or Chemical (Shells) Base Price: How much it costs to buy. Varies depending on the Countries standing. Brakes: How long the brakes take to work. The higher the value, the better the braking. Category: What section the part fits into, EG: Night Vision, Machine Gun. CE Defence: Armour rating against Explosive weapons, (EG: Rockets, grenades) COM Compatibility: ?? Only gets listed in legs. Condenser Capacity: ? Some kind of cooling feature? Condenser Regen: ? How fast heat is dispersed? Cost: For Ammo, how much it will cost you to replace, per unit. Durability: Basically, how many Hit Points the part has. Energy Use: How much energy the part needs for efficient operation. Energy Output: (Generators) How much energy the generator outputs (Within a certain time frame? If it is, it's never mentioned. Fuel might affect it, too.) Fuel tank capacity: (Generator) How much fuel can be stored? Full Auto: ?? Heat Generation: (Generators) How much heat they make when working Heat of Impact: How much Heat a weapon or ammo will deliver when it hits. Internal Power: (Cockpit) How much base power the Cockpit generates. KE Defence: Armour rating against Kinetic weapons (EG: Bullets, piles) Load: (For Legs) How much weight the chassis can support, in tones. Max load doesn't count the legs themselves. Max Ammo: The total possible amount of Ammo a weapon can equip. NA Range: The NA Towers effective range, in KM. Parts Management: (Cockpit) The maximum number of things you can attach to the cockpit. Penetration Power: The ability of ammo to overcome KE:CE def. A high rating is preferable. Range: The effective range of the part, in KM. Provides an idea of optimal firing ranges, but is also used for NA towers, Night Vision, etc. Reload Time: Amount of time taken to reload a weapon. In milliseconds, apparently. Rotation Speed: The turning speed of the HOUND parts mounted onto the chassis. Again, a high number is preferable. Scope: Determines the camera view for weapons. Comes in four flavours; Normal (cross hairs, 0 mag), Ranged (with range finder in KM, 0 mag), High Angle (with range finder in KM, x05 mag?) and Sniper (target sight, x10 mag?). Shock Absorption: Governs damage from falls. A higher SA rating means you will take less damage from falls. Speed: The BASE speed of the chassis, in KPH. Stability: Govern Weapons fire Recoil. The higher the number, the less recoil suffered. System Sockets: (Cockpits) How many slots are available for System Devices Turning Speed: How fast the chassis can turn. A higher number indicates a quicker turning speed. Type: What type a part is, EG: Tread, Bipedal, Thermal Vision, etc. Weight: How heavy a part is in tones. ############################################################################### ACHIEVEMENT LIST ACELST ------------------- SECRET ACHIEVMENTS ------------------- * Bloodless Award (Win 5 times without attacking the enemy) * Humane Award (End 5 times in a row without killing enemy) * Silver Patriot (donate $10,000,000 to your nation) * Touring Service (Play on every battlefield) * Combat Award (Win when out numbered 10 times or more) * HOUND Specialist (Own 1 of each part) * Distinguished Service (Destroy unidentified Enemy Weapon) Other Achievements lsited! ############################################################################### Single Player Missions Section: SINPLA General Tutorial GENUTR ---------------- Mission 01: General Training (Map: Rafzakael Test Field, HOUND: RFZ-T85R) Basic Mission: Follow the commanders instructions as he gives them to you. Extra Operations: None Rewards: Any Grade= RFZ-CK-A2 (Cockpit) RFZ-MC-1 (System device) RFZ-TC-1 (System device) RFZ-HC-1 (System device) S Grade= RFZ-WAR-1 (Weapon, Assault rifle) Tips for S rank: Because there are no Ex Op's, your score is based on the three basics; time taken, Accuracy and Damage taken. So try to not get hit, don't ever blind fire, and be a fast as your commander allows. An easy S rank to get. Borrowed HOUND: RFZ-T85R (Multitask HOUND) Legs: RFZ-RJ-1 Ckpt: RFZ-CK-A2 Genr: RFZ-GE-A (Weapons) 2x lm RFZ-WMG-2 Machine gun 2x rm RFZ-WSR-1 Sniper rifle 1x rm RFZ-WHT-2 Anti HOUND Rocket 2x tm RFZ-WAR-1 Automatic rifle ############################################################################### SOLIDER RT MISSIONS (Easy) SOLDRT ------------------------------- Mission 01: Soldier RT Training (MAP: Rafzakael Test Field, HOUND: RFZ-A52T) Basic Mission: Follow the commanders instructions as he gives them to you. Your final grade will incorporate Time elapsed, Enemies destroyed, and Average attack distance. Extra Operations: "Real" Combat in <3 Mins Rewards: Any Grade= RFZ-TL-2 (Leg Part, Bipedal) S Grade= RFZ-AAM-2 (Armour) Tips for S rank: Just make sure you get all of the enemies in under three minutes, once 'real combat' starts. To make it easier, they come in from these points: D4, E4, D3, and G3. With the exception of D3 (a lone tank) the others will be mixed squads of tanks and AT-ST's, with a single heavy walker in the final group. Mission 02: Wipe-out Rebels (Map: Upstream Gorge, HOUND: RFZ-A52T) Basic Mission: Attack and destroy the rebel base camp in grid C2, wiping out all enemies along the way. Your final grade will incorporate Time taken, Enemies destroyed, and your average attack distance. Extra Operations: Enemy annihilated Allied scout survives Reward: Any Grade= RFZ-GE-A1 (Generator) S Grade= RFZ-CK-A3 (Cockpit) Tips for S rank: Start attacking as early as possible, which protects the scout by making sure everyone comes after you instead. Then it's just a case of mopping up the small force in G3 (four tanks and two AT-ST walkers), and two more tanks and AT-ST on the river side. The base is defended by three heavy walkers outside, and a good many tanks inside. Be sure to get them all, it can get a bit confusing once the buildings start falling. Mission 03: Wipe-out Rebels 2 (Map: Edina Mine Ruins, HOUND: RFZ-A52W) Basic Mission: Attack and destroy the transport with an enemy officer in it. If he gets too far away, you will fail this mission. Extra Operations: Halt enemy before F4 No damaged parts Reward: Any Grade= RFZ-WMG-3 (Weapon, Machine Gun) S Grade= RFZ-WBD-1 (Weapon, Bomb Dispenser) Tips for S Rank: It can get a bit hectic, with lots of fire coming in to you, but ignore it all, and focus on the little APC like vehicle flanked by two AT-ST. He starts in grid E6, and moves East, over the hill. As soon as the buildings end, get off the road, and start shooting at him. Just look in front of the two AT-ST's to find him. it's easy, but may take a couple of times thorough to get a feel for it. Mission 04: Wipe-out Rebels 3 (Map: East Cale Plains, HOUND: RFZ-A52T) Basic Mission: Attack and destroy the rebel headquarters in grid G7, and secure as many COMBAS towers as you can. Extra Operations: No damaged parts Time spent <5 Mins Reward: Any Grade = RFZ-ASP-1 (Spacer) S Grade = FZ-WGL-1 (Weapon, Grenade Launcher) Tips for S rank: Take out all the enemy units near to where you start, and head to COMBAS tower G (you don't need to capture it, or any others). Move up and over the hills, heading straight for the base, taking the narrow left path. Watch for the tank squadron just over the brow, it can be hard to hit them because of the gradient. Take out as many enemies as you can, but head straight for the base. Start shooting it as early as possible, cycling through your weapons. You need to level all the large, main buildings, the oil refineries and the cylindrical tanks. Watch your leg damage, as even with just tanks it can mount up. Keep shooting, keep moving. It's not too hard, but it does require a little luck and good shooting. Mission 05: Defend Tarakian Base (Map: West Cale Plains, HOUND: RFZ-A52W) Basic Mission: Push through the advancing enemy to safety, completely destroying them in several locations. Extra Operations: All allied units survive No damage to Silvys ACV Reward: Any Grade = RFZ-WBD-2 (Weapon, Bomb Dispenser) S Grade = RFZ-WL-2 (Leg Part, Wheels) Tips for S rank: Not too hard. Just head to all the locations as quickly as possible, and take out the enemy as efficiently as you can once you are there. Always shoot first, even if you know you won't hit, as you will draw the fire away from your allies, and bear in mind that for the very last group (heavy cannons) you are going to have to sprint almost the length of the map! Mission 06: Defend Tarakian Base 2 (Map: Village of Cobar, HOUND: RFZ-A88T) Basic Mission: Head to the enemy base and destroy it. Extra Options: No damaged parts No damage to Silvys ACV Rewards: Any Grade = RFZ-WAR-2 (Weapon, Assault Rifle) S Grade = RFZ-WSC-2 (Heat Rocket) Tips for S rank: This can be a bit close. Keeping Silvy damage free is the main hassle, but it's easy enough with a bit of practice. As soon as you start, head forwards, and take out the three Heavy Walkers attacking the base in B1. Then get on the road, taking care of the little hover scouts that approach. Follow the road to about F3, when you should see, to the left, in the distance, three Heavy walkers, just over the brow of a hill. Head to them, and kill them quickly, before heading straight for the base (H6). Keep an eye on the road, and take out any AT-ST as they appear (they endlessly re-spawn), also keeping an eye out for the three snipers dotted about, they can cause you problems if you don't identify and kill them quickly. Once at the base, take care of the two heavy walker defenders, and then stand just out side the base's bay area, and fire your small bombs directly into it, hitting the main tower with your other weapons as they recharge. Kill any AT-ST as soon as they fire on you, or if necessary, use the base as cover while they get close. Success depends on a nice balance of killing everything along with quickly getting to and destroying the base. Don't be afraid to replay the level just to learn where the enemy moves from and to. Mission 07: Mop up Rebel survivors (Map: South Bath Plains, HOUND: RFZ-A52T) Basic Mission: Single handily destroy the last remaining Enemies; a Commander and Defender HOUND. Extra Options: No damaged parts Enemy hound destroyed in <3 Mins Enemy annihilated in <5 Mins Reward: Any Grade = RFZ-WHT-1 (Weapon, HEAT Rocket) S Grade = RFZ-WHP-1 (Weapon, Anti-HOUND-Pile) Tips for S rank: Cross the river and take out as many tanks as possible. A little further along, from around the cliff in H2, the Command mech will appear. Draw him in to you, constantly firing at his cockpit. He shouldn't present too much of a problem, but once he's down, the slower Defender HOUND will be in range. His long range attacks are devastating, and he's Armoured on the sides, but he's not very mobile, so weave in close to him and give him everything you've got. Watch for him to pause; a sure sign he's going to let rip with him massive cannon. HOUND types borrowed: RFZ-A52T (Basic Soldier) Legs: RFZ-TL-1 Ckpt: RFZ-CK-A2 Genr: RFZ-GE-A1 (Weapons) 3x lm RFZ-WHT-2 (Anti HOUND ML) 3x rm RFZ-WSG-2 (Shotgun) 2x tm RFZ-WAR-3 (Assault rifle) Missions 1, 2, 4 and 7 RFZ-A52W (Mobile Soldier) Legs: RFZ-WL-2 Ckpt: RFZ-CK-A1 Genr: RFZ-GE-A1 (Weapons) 2x lm RFZ-WRL-2 (RL) 2x rm RFZ-WSG-2 (Shotgun) 2x tm FRZ-WAR-3 (Assault Rifle) Missions 3 and 5 RFZ-A88T (Base Killer) Legs: RFZ-TL-1 Ckpt: RFZ-CK-A2 Genr: RFZ-GE-A3 (Weapons) 3x tm RFZ-WAR-1 (Assault Rifle) 2x l&rm RFZ-WBD-1 (Bomb launcher) 2x lm RFZ-WHT-2 (Anti HOUND ML) 2x rm RFZ-WSG-2 (Shotgun) ############################################################################### SNIPER RT MISSIONS (Easy) SNIPRT ----------------------------- Mission 01: Sniper RT Training (MAP: Rafzakael Test Field, HOUND:RFZ-SP96A) Basic Mission: As with all training missions, simply follow the commanders instructions. Evaluation Points from: Time Elapsed, Accuracy, Av. Attack Distance. Extra Operations: Get over 70% Accuracy. Reward: Any Grade= RFZ-RJ-1 (Leg, Reverse Jointed) S Grade= RFZ-ASP-2 (Spacer) Tips for S Rank: Time and damage are the least of you concerns. Have a few goes with the borrowed HOUND, and learn how the Sniper weapons are grouped. Try to use just the slot A ones, as they have a higher chance of hitting, the group B (three guns) more easily have a last shot that goes astray. Don't ever use your assault rifle, and be as far away as possible to boost your Av. Attack Distance. For the last round, once you are next to the COMBAS in B6, the enemy will come in from A5. If you're having a hard time, just wait for them to stop before shooting (they park up after a while), as you will only receive a little damage from them. Overall, this is quite an easy S rank to get. Mission 02: Border Patrol (MAP: West Industrial Zone, HOUND: RFZ-SP96A) Basic Mission: Help the border patrol deal with a squad that has been pestering them. Evaluation Points from: Time Elapsed, Accuracy, Average Attack Distance. Extra Operations: Get over 60% Accuracy, No damage to Jayrus's HOUND. Reward: Any Grade= RFZ-GE-B1 (Generator) S Grade= RFZ-TC-2 (System Device) Tips for S grade: Unless you are very fast, it can be tricky. Get into position at F4 as quickly as you can. Prioritise your targets; you have two AT-ST's and five tanks (don't miss the little APC like thing too) across the pipe way in E6/7. Shoot the pipe supports out for a clearer view. Then move on to E5, To get the last group of enemies, found in C4. There's again two AT-ST's, five tanks, and an APC. Don't waste a shot on the ruined tank that is nestled amongst the real ones. (If you are having real difficulty, the easiest way to get the S rank by far is to create a Sniper HOUND with night vision, and kill the enemy before the flares are even fired!) Mission 03: Border Patrol 2 (Map: Osca Industrial Zone, HOUND: RFZ-SP96A) Basic Mission: Attack and destroy the enemy base, taking a different route to your allies. Evaluation Points from: Time Elapsed, Accuracy, Average Attack Distance. Extra Operations: Enemy Annihilated, All Allied Units Survive. Reward: Any Grade= RFZ-WSR-1 (Weapon, Sniper Rifle) S Grade= RFZ-WAR-3 (Weapon, Assault Rifle) Tips for S Rank: Walk straight forward and take out the AT-ST's and tanks with your Assault rifle (make you shots count, so you still get the Av Attack distance). Then down the road, and take up position on the hill to your left, overlooking the base. Destroy the fuel cylinders in G4, then start taking out the enemy (Five AT-ST's, and two tanks). Do this quickly, before the Squad turns up to capture COMBAS J, so they don't take any damage. There will be a lone AT-ST who appears in G4 when the COMBAS tower is captured. Stay where you are and take him out, before turning, ready to take on the Enemy force (three AT-ST's and several tanks) that will appear in I7 and H7. Snipe them quickly, then move toward the base, shooting it as you go. When you are close enough, shoot the fuel tanks next to the base for a quick kill, and the mission should be a success. Mission 04: Border Patrol 3 (Map: Kilmore Highlands, HOUND: RFZ-SP96A) Basic Mission: Ambush a retreating attack force, killing them all. Evaluation Points from: Time elapsed, Accuracy, Average Attack Distance. Extra Operations: All Allied Units Survive, Stopped Enemy before D2. Any Grade: RFZ-ASD-N1 (Assist Part, Night Vision) S Grade: RFZ-WSR-1 (Sniper Rifle) x2 Tips for S Grade: If you are a fast and accurate sniper, simply get into position at F3, and snipe them first as they enter your field of vision from, being sure to mop up any misses as soon as they clear the mountains in E3 and F3. If you don't mind taking some damage, the alternative is slide down the mountain (50% leg damage), and park up on the road in C2, just around the bend, giving you a decent clear view of the road. The first batch will almost be there, so the first fight may be a bit tough, but you will be able to leisurely snipe the others at a great distance. Let none get past you, and the S rank is yours. NOTE: Be aware that the briefing says 'our troops are following' or something, which is not true! You have to kill all the vehicles that come into the map from C6, including the ACV carriers. Mission 05: Assault Enemy base (Map: Cecil Plains, HOUND RFZ-SP96A) Basic Mission: Assist the squad in fending off the enemy, then defend the base. Evaluation Points: Time elapsed, Accuracy, Average attack distance. Extra Operations: All Allied Units survive, No damaged parts. Reward: Any Grade= RFZ-WAR-1 (Weapon, Assault Rifle) S Grade= RFZ-TL-1 (Legs, Bipedal) Tips for S Grade: Move right from the starting position, and climb the small hill in D5. Straight away start sniping the enemy coming in from B4. Pay attention to when the hovercraft are destroyed, as two AT-ST's will show up, and you should deal with these quickly. Then Face East, as you will be coming under fire from the large force of AT-ST's that swamp you. Killing all of these quickly and efficiently is the key to bagging the S rank. When they are down, follow the road South, pausing on the crest of the hill to snipe the hovercraft attacking the base, before moving closer to the base and finishing off the three AT-ST's that come in from I4 direction. Mission 06: Assault Enemy Base 2 (Map: East Cecil Plains, HOUND: RFZ-SP96A) Basic Mission: Aid Squad to wipe out the enemy as they flee their base. Evaluation Points: Time elapsed, Accuracy, Average Attack Distance. Extra Operations: Never hit any friendlies, Allied detachment lives. Reward: Any Grade= RFZ-WSR-2 (Weapon, Sniper Rifle) S Grade= RFZ-WAR-3 (Weapon, Assault Rifle) Tips for S Rank: Can be a tough one. It's fast and furious, and may well be the level it's not worth making every shot count; just fire! Head up to the peak on the left of your starting position, and start shooting straight away at at line of Heavy Walkers moving towards F3. Take as many out as early as you can, try to guess aim with your assault rifles while your sniper shots recharge, if you wait, you will lose the mission. Be aware that if Squad 2 is wiped out, you've lost 1000 Ex Op points, and if Squad 1 is wiped out, it's mission end. Concentrate on the Heavy Walkers as much as possible, doing what you can as fast as you can, but if you have to choose, choose to protect squad 1! After you've killed enough enemies, the mission will end. It is possible to just get the S rank, even if Squad 2 doesn't make it, but you'll have to have a good time and Av. Attack distance. Mission 07: Purse Enemy Troops (Map: Kudelyyka Valley, HOUND:RFZ-SP96A) Basic Mission: Support your allies by taking out oncoming troops, Long range cannons and the enemy commander. Defend against the Black HOUND. Evaluation Points: Time elapsed, Accuracy, Average attack distance. Extra Operations: Over 50% Accuracy, Destroy Enemy commander in <3 mins, No damaged parts. Reward: Any Grade= RFZ-WSC-1 (Weapon, Sniper Cannon) S Grade= RFZ-WCN-1 (Weapon, Cannon) Tips for S Rank: No where near as hard as it should be, considering you face a Cerberus HOUND. At the start, don't move, just target the enemy on the road below. Then move slightly south to take out the long range cannons, before moving up the slope behind you to the high peak at E4, and sniping the commander. Mop up the other Heavy Walker gunners, and then move right to the cliff edge at F5. The enemy HOUND will appear, just stay on the ridge, and take him out, concentrating on his cockpit. It can take a while, but sooner or later, he ends up just walking randomly about below you. One of the easier Black HOUND fights! Once he's done for, mop up the hover scouts, and the S rank should be yours. (no, there's no way to save Jayrus) HOUND Types Borrowed: RFZ-SP96A (General Sniper) Legs: RFZ-RJ-2 Ckpt: RFZ-CK-A3 Genr: RFZ-GE-B1 (Weapons) 2x lm RFZ-WSR-1 (Sniper Rifle) 3x lm RFZ-WSR-1 (Sniper Rifle) 2x tm RFZ-WAR-2 (Automatic Rifle) ############################################################################### DEFENDER RT MISSIONS (Medium) DEFERT ---------------------------------- Mission 01: (Map: Rafzakael Test Field, HOUND: RFZ-D18C) Basic Mission: Follow the commanders instructions as he gives them to you. Evaluation Points: Time Elapsed, Damage Taken, Enemies Destroyed Extra Operations: Keep Enemy away from HQ. Reward: Any Grade= RFZ-CL-2 (Leg Part, Caterpillar) S Grade= RFZ-AMS-1 (Assist Part, Missile Counter) Tips for S Rank: There's not much to be said, apart from this one can be bloody hard. The only real problem, and it's a big one, is the speed of the Hover scouts Vs your weapon recharge time. The three opening bits are quite easy, 3x AT-ST that don't fight back, 3x Heavy Walkers that do, then a mixed squad of 3x AT-ST's and 3x Hover scouts, before moving on to the real meat - the base defence. You will fail the Ex Op if any enemy unit touches your base. Park up on the top of the ridge in I3, making sure you are on level with the rear of the base, and get ready. The first wave, 3x AT-ST's, comes in from F1. You can wait until they turn toward the base to get the best shot (damage to the base doesn't matter), but finish them quickly. The next wave, 3x Hover scouts come in from I3, on your right. They are fast, and can cause no end of headaches. You must move with them, taking a shot with your shotguns when you have it, and keeping yourself between them and the base at all costs. As your instructor says, stay calm and don't panic, take the shots when you have them and manoeuvre to shield the base and obstruct them when you don�t. The penultimate wave is 3x AT-ST's from F3, then it's a final 3x Hover Scouts from I4. Again, keep your nerve, and obstruct them while shooting reloading. They can be a bit harder, since you should be nearer the base now, and so have less time, but it's not impossible, just tricky! Far from the easiest of the S ranks to get. Mission 02: Defend Camp (Map: Eger, HOUND: RFZ-D18C) Basic Mission: Defend the HQ from the unknown squad. Evaluation Points: Time elapsed, damage taken, enemies destroyed. Extra Operations: Keep Enemy away from HQ, All escortees Survive. Rewards: Any Grade= RFZ-GE-B2 (Generator) S Grade= RFZ-CK-B1 (Cockpit) Tips for S Rank: Get on the road, and as with the training mission, obstruct the hover scouts while your shotguns reload. There are five, but the other units will help you. The next three waves are squads of five AT-ST's. Get close to the base, parking right in front of it is an excellent idea. Use missiles when they group together, cannons as they get near, and shotguns if they make it too close. Ignore the order to go north, just stay in front of the base, taking them out as they come. Make sure they don't get close, and watch for friendly fire (your allies will shoot if they have a shot, even if you're in the way.) The trick to getting the 'all escortees survive' Ex Op is in taking out the second group of AT-ST's (they come along the same road as the hover scouts) quickly and cleanly. Mission 03:Escourt Survey Team (Map: East Lake Orlovka, HOUND: RFZ-D18C Basic Mission: Intercept and destroy enemy following survey team, then protect them while they finish. Evaluation Points: Time elapsed, damage taken, enemies destroyed. Extra Operations: Halt Enemy before F4, All escortees survive. Rewards: Any Grade= RFZ-WSG-1 (Weapon, Shotgun) S Grade= RFZ-ASP-3 (Spacer) Tips for S Rank: Well, it's not too hard. There are three groups; the first is Heavy Walkers, sauntering down the road. While these can be taken down easily with missiles, as you are doing that, a squad of hover scouts will approach from behind them, who present a bigger threat, so break off you attack and kill them as quickly as possible before returning to Heavies. The next two squads are exactly the same, but the second group's Scouts will come at you across the water. Killing these scouts quickly is the key to the 'stop enemy before F4' Ex Op. You then get a message that the enemy is attacking from the rear, but have gone into a blocked tunnel. Quickly follow the road to the tunnel, and take out the last remaining enemies. If you really struggle, park up on the little hill just off the road in E6. You'll take a pile of damage, and possibly mess up Ex Op #2, but you should still easily get the S, so long as they don't make it much past you. Mission 04: Escort Survey Team 2 (Map: Lake Orlovka, HOUND: RFZ-D18C) Basic Mission: Defend the reinforced survey team from enemy attack without an TC. Evaluation Points: Time elapsed, damage taken, enemies destroyed Extra Operations: All Escortees survive, enemy annihilated. Rewards: Any Grade= RFZ-ARD-1 (Radiator) S Grade= RFZ-WRL-1 (Weapon, Rocket) Tips for S Rank: Tricky. Your TC not being there makes a difference, as does the limited visibility due to fog! Take out as many enemies as possible, always wiping out the hover scouts as they appear. Stay as far ahead of the convoy as possible, and if you can't see the enemy yourself, watch for where they are shooting, or where the fire is coming from to pinpoint them. Near the end, as you come towards the base, there are enemy on both sides, shelling you, remember to dodge one while attacking the other. Moderate in difficulty, you should get it, but if you are having problems, just try to get as forward as possible to draw fire away from the survey team. Mission 05: Escort Survey Team 3 (Map: Lake Suhodol, HOUND: RFZ-D18C) Basic Mission: Defend against an enemy force whilst waiting for reinforcements, then wipe them out. Evaluation Points: Time elapsed, damage taken, enemies destroyed. Extra Operations: No damaged parts, All allied units survive. Rewards: Any Grade= RFZ-WSG-2 (Weapon, Shotgun) S Grade= RFZ-RJ-2 (Legs, Inverted) Tips for S Rank: Right, first up, you are going to get swamped. And unless you are very careful, you are going to run out of ammo. That�s the bad news... The good news is, there's plenty to shoot at! It starts from the get go, with the snipers. However, ignore the commander�s orders, and instead use COMBAS tower C as cover to get close to the snipers, and take them out. Head back to the ridge you started on, and begin taking out the enemy as it comes in. Keep moving to lessen the damage you will take, and always keep the high ground. When the reinforcements arrive, be careful, as not only can you not shot them, but they don't mind shooting through you to get the enemy. Eh, the life of a merc, eh? As before, keep mobile, and if you run out of missiles and cannon shells, remember that at close range, two shotgun blasts are enough to fell a Heavy Walker! Watch for the final two heavy walkers, who approach from COMBAS C's direction, and more often than not, score an ally kill, ruining your Ex Op, if you don't kill them quickly. If you are having problems, you only really need a decent time and one of the Ex Op's to bag the S, so decide when the reinforcements show up how you are doing. If any parts are knackered, then go all out to defend your allies. If you've only minor damage, it might be worth holding back a bit more, and loosing one to get the S Rank. Mission 06: Escort Survey Team 4 (Map: West Salma Woods, HOUND: RFZ-D18C) Basic Mission: Escort the survey team back to base. Evaluation Points: Time elapsed, damage taken, enemies destroyed. Extra Operations: All Escortees survive, no damaged parts. Rewards: Any Grade= RFZ-AAM-1 (Armour) S Grade= RFZ-WRL-1 (Weapon, rocket) Tips for S Rank: The real trick to getting the S is in taking care of the enemy units quickly, as soon as they appear, so that you stay with the convoy (which allows you to draw enemy fire for them, just make sure you don't lose a part). Initially, stay on the road. The enemy will come to the road from the left as squad of AT-ST's, then from the right, as a large squad of Hover scouts. The next squad (AT-ST's again) come in from the left, and quite far away initially. Do not be tempted to leave the convoy! Keep yourself between the convoy and the enemy, and take your shots when you can. There is a final group of Heavy walkers who shell the convoy from the right side of the road, just as you clear the hill. As soon as you have dealt with them, you get a message that the convoy has made it to the base, and you have to mop up the remaining enemy forces, which are a mixed bag of Heavy walkers, AT-ST's, and four snipers in the distance. Do your best to protect your allies, and make sure you don't hit any white camo mechs! Mission 07: Defend Eger (Map: Eger, HOUND:RFZ-D18C) Basic Mission: Evaluation Points: Time elapsed, damage taken, enemies destroyed. Extra Operations: No damaged parts, Time Spent <5 minutes, Destroy transport before (before) stop. Rewards: Any Grade: RFZ-WAL-2 (Weapon) S Grade: RFZ-WMS-1 (Weapon, Missile) Tips for S Rank: can be a bit tough. You only really need two of the three Ex Ops, and there's no boss like in most other mission 7's, but you still face a large enemy force. As soon as you get shot by the tanks, turn into the town, take them and the two Heavy Walkers with them out, and proceed to the base. take out anything attacking it, (If you get the man down message - in this mission, you can loose them without penalty, but be aware that too many allied dead will end the mission in failure for you!) and keep your ears open, as the next two waves of attackers come in from A2 and E9 simultaneously. Wait for them, don't go to them, and take them on as they get to the outskirts of town, somewhere near D7 or D6 is a good spot. As soon as they are dealt with, a train will pull in up at F6. Kill it as quickly as possible for the Ex op. Oddly, much easier than some of the other Defender missions.

Extra Operations: No Mine Damage. Evaluation Points from: Time Elapsed, Damage Taken, and COMBAS's Secured. Rewards: Any Grade= RFZ-HL-1 (Weapon) S Grade= RFZ-ASD-M1 (Sensors, Mine Detector) Tips for S rank: Not too taxing. Be aware there is a glitch that will register excessive Leg damage as mine damage; if the turrets whittle your legs down by 40%, you'll fail the Ex Op. You are fast enough to dodge them, though, so keep moving, keep shooting (good advice for any scout mission!). The most efficient way to capture the COMBAS towers after you've dodged the mine field is COMBAS tower C (D5), E (E6), B (C7 - watch for turret fire on this one), And then lastly COMBAS A in B6, which is flanked by a couple of turrets. Mission 02: Investigate Spy Unit (Map: Zavoywko Dam, HOUND: RFZSt66W) Basic Mission: capture all the COMBAS towers on the map. Extra Operations: No damaged parts, Secured all COMBAS's. Evaluation points from: Time elapsed, Damage taken, COMABS's secured. Reward: Any Grade= RFZ-GE-A2 (Weapon) S Grade= RFZ-MC-2 (System Device, Speed Control and Booster) Tips for S rank: Quite easy. The only enemies are turrets, apart from three AT-ST you meet on the way to the final COMBAS. Just get from tower to tower as quickly as possible, staying out of the water as much as you can. Always use the time you are capturing the COMBAS to position your HOUND towards the next tower. Don't worry about fighting at al on this level. It's unlikely that you'll take anywhere near enough damage to ruin a part, just dodge (always put a COMBAS between you and the enemy) and race, race, race! Mission 03: Rescue Allied Forces (Map: Olensk Highlands, HOUND: RFZSt66W) Basic Mission: Secure every COMBAS towers so your commander can find the missing squad members. Don't engage the enemy. Extra Operations: No damaged parts, never spotted by the enemy. Evaluation Points from: Time elapsed, damage taken, COMBAS's secured. Reward: Any Grade= RFZ-WLM-2 (Weapon, Land Mine) S Grade= RFZ-AJM-1 (NA Jammer) Tips for S Grade: Head first to COMBAS A (B1), for SF unit 4, getting COMBAS C and B on the way. As soon as you capture B, head up to and behind the base in B4 to avoid the enemy in E4 and B4. Then head to COMBAS D in E1 (don't try to cross the river until you get the 'turn around' warning, or you'll slow down too much), to find SE Unit 2. Skirt the cliffs to avoid the enemies here, and grab COMBAS E before moving through the narrow canyon to your right. Keep close to the cliff as you head down to COMBAS's H, and K to find SF Unit 1. Hug this side of the river, until just after the base in I1, then cross it and head for the base in I5 before going to COMBAS J, securing L and I (both can be tricky, with a few enemies in sight of it) on the way. Be careful of the enemies in F6. From J, hug the cliff to your right in order to avoid the two enemies in E8, and capture COMBAS G, and sweep around, as close to the cliff as possible, to capture F to finish. Mission 04: Pursue Spy Unit (Map: Zavoywko Dam 2, HOUND: RFZSt66H) Basic Mission: Act as bait to lure enemy patrols into an ambush. Extra Operations: No damaged parts, destroy enemy HOUND <10 mins. Evaluation Points from: Time elapsed, Damage taken, COMBAS's secured. Reward: Any Grade= RFZ-WBD-1 (Weapon, Bomb Dispenser) S Grade= RFZ-ASP-1 (Spacer) Tips for S Grade: Nothing too tricky; It's probably best if you head straight for B5 and destroy the two hover scouts that come down the mountain to the West yourself. Then head back the way you came, but follow the river to the right, for the next three hover scouts. Since you need to get the ball rolling asap, keep on the river, and ignore the capture COMBAS order for now. A short way in, at about F3, the enemy HOUND will spot you and give chase. You can't take him on toe to toe (he's got 4 Machine guns and 3 ML!), so lead him back to the ambush point at D5 before turning and helping to destroy him. Circle strafe him to keep him inn the best position for the snipers, which is on the little bit of land that the river bend around. Then head up to the COMBAS tower C to take care of the 3 AT-ST's there to complete the mission. Mission 05: Attack Enemy Supply Base (Map: West Bayazil River, HOUND: RFZSt66H) Basic Mission: Extra Operations: No damaged parts, all allied units survive. Evaluation Points from: Time Elapsed, Damage taken, COMBAS's Secured. Reward: Any Grade= RFZ-WMT-1 (Weapon, Mortar) S Grade= RFZ-HL-2 (Leg Part, Hover) Tips for S Grade: This can be quite difficult. Easiest way is to sacrifice your allies, Head for the COMBAS at D2 (don't capture it), before sweeping around via COMBAS tower F, (take the light damage from the cliff fall), and approach the base along the southernly most river, so you arrive at it from I8. Take care of two of the three Heavy walker guards, keeping the last one between you and the base so he helps you destroy it. Alternatively, head straight for COMBAS E (D7). Then head straight for the base in H8, taking out as many enemy along the way as possible. Any enemy you manage to kill here will help with keeping your allies alive, (especially the turrets) but it's a tricky balance as you really don't have much time for this mission. When you are destroying the base, use your machine guns for everything except the two story concrete bunkers, which you should hit with small bombs as soon as possible. And don't be anywhere near the six large cylinders in the South Western corner when you blow them; they take out a quarter of the base all on their own! Mission 06: Attack Enemy Supply Base 2(Map:East Bayazil River, HOUND: RFZSt66H) Basic Mission: Capture three COMBAS's, provide support flares for the snipers. Extra Operations: No damaged parts, all allied units survive. Evaluation Points from: Time elapsed, Damage taken and COMBAS's secured. Rewards: Any Grade= RFZ-WMG-2 (Weapon, Machine Gun) S Grade= RFZ-WMT-2 (Weapon, Mortar) Tips for S Grade: This mission is really easy, so long as you know where you are going in advance, and get there asap. Don't capture the COMBAS's as directed, in order (the commander numbers them), grab 1, then 3, then 2. The first AT-ST walkers will appear in grid G6. Position yourself in grid G5, on top of the hill, and wait until you see them. You don't have to wait for the commanders orders to launch the flares. You can also help out by attacking, but be sure to let the snipers get a few shots in first. As soon as they are taken out, start heading for G3, and stop right on the very top of the hill there. Over across the river in G1, the enemy squad will appear, so launch flare slightly in front of them, wait for them to take a few hits. Then get in there and finish them off. Be careful, as another four AT-ST come from G1 also. Get to grid H1, and as soon as the spotter sees them, launch a flare in that direction, before charging in to help mop them up. The next squad will be in grid G4. Follow the commander�s point to the river in G4, and when you see them up on the road, launch the flare. Finish them off and immediately head for G5, on top of the cliff. Face grid G6 and... You guessed it, launch a flare when you see the enemy. Help to finish them off for quite an easy (if perhaps a little overly long) S rank. Mission 07: Attack Water Plant (Map: Birall Water Plant, HOUND: RFZSt66W) Basic Mission: Lure the Water plant's security force away to the West. Extra Operations: Destroyed enemy hound, no damage to Alexeli's ACV, Enemy cmd destroyed. Evaluation Points from: Time elapsed, damage taken, COMBAS's secured Reward: Any Grade= RFZ-ARC-1 (Assist Parts, Rotor Craft) S Grade= RFZ-WMG-1 (Weapon, Machine gun) Tips for S Rank: Pay attention to the Ex Op's. You can bag the S rank without killing the enemy HOUND (by far the hardest part of the mission). You only need to lure him away to finish, as so long as you've bagged the Commander, the S rank will be yours. From the start, head over the river, taking car of the turrets along the way. just before the cliff begins, at E4, join the river, dodging the volley of shot that will come from behind you. Through the canyon, and around the bend, there will be a small squadron of tanks. Take them out, and head to the riverbank at G2, where you will find the Enemy commander. Now across the way, in E3 and that whole area, are quite a few Heavy walkers, AT-ST's and tanks. If you are planning on taking out the enemy HOUND, I strongly suggest dealing with these now, leaving it clear for later. If not, proceed to the COMBAS tower J (H3). Capture it and get ready. Now, this is the hard bit. Actually, if you can keep your nerve, it's not too hard. The base is defended by Heavy walkers, AT-ST's and tanks, as well as the Black HOUND. In order to complete the mission, you have to clear the base of it's defenders, and lead away the HOUND. The most common cause of failure is missing a tank, and leading the HOUND away, only to be shot to pieces because there's still a tank defending the base. The tanks and heavy walkers won't leave the base, although you are never told this. You have to kill them all, then lead the HOUND away to win. The Black HOUND shows up in two situations: you have eliminated 50% of the defending squad, or you have entered H5 or I5. Hang about near the COMBAS and start shooting at the enemies you can see, as soon as you've killed a few, dash towards the base (not getting too close), and the HOUND will appear. Don't panic, just finish off the remaining defender�s, and then run as zigzaggedly as you can manage to any point past H3, G3, or I3. The HOUND will follow, and when he's far enough away, the mission finishes. If you are planning on taking him down, do as above, but be sure to leave one tank behind, then draw the HOUND to the ruined village in E2 and E3 that you cleared out earlier. His weapons are powerful, and without altering the borrowed HOUND you are given, the fight will be long and hard. Use the buildings for cover as much as possible, only popping out when you are 100% you can hit him. You can try to kill the cockpit and nothing else, but I had more luck taking out his legs, then strafing him, taking out his weapons, the finally closing in for the kill. If you can time it right, on the way over, drop some mini bombs for him to walk into (you may take lots of damage for this, as he'll be quite close, but if you do it right, that ends the fight there and then). It's not a pretty fight in the Scout HOUND you are given, but it can be done, it just takes a long while. Once he's down, if you allies have bagged the remaining tank, the mission will end. If not, head over and get it for them. The spare machine gun you get for the S might well come in handy. Er, or not!

Evaluation Points from: time elapsed, enemies destroyed, Average attack distance Extra Operations: Destroyed moving target Rewards: Any Grade= RFZ-ML-1 (Leg Part, Myriapod) S Grade= RFZ-AAM-2 (Assist, Armour) Tips for S Rank: Most important: Do not do your homework without wearing headphones *ahem*. Also, DON'T MOVE! If you leave square B4, you fail the mission. For the first targets, (the buildings) they are anything from 400-600 away on the range finder. For a really fast time, Hit the nearest building first, then let the kick-back naturally adjust your aim for the buildings further away. The moving target, essential for the S, is best hit at a range of 550-600, as soon as it clears the mountains in C4/5. Be aware it turns really wide to get around the fence. The small units range from 400-650M away, and the base is just a smidgen over 1000M (1035 to be exact), be sure to just pepper the base, without re-checking your aim to much, to keep you time as fast as possible. Recoil only affects altitude, it doesn't knock you aim left or right. This mission can be very hard if you waste a lot of guess shots. NOTE: The easiest way of gaining the S ranks on the following missions, if you are really having a hard time with any of them, is simply to make a Sniper HOUND, and complete the mission with it (you need to be a Sniper to ensure you still get as many points as possible for the average attack distance). I won't laugh at you, honest. It is slightly cheesy, but then, these are hard missions. And hard missions demand hard cheese. Double Gloucester, anyone? Mission 02: Attack Armed Group (Map: Kara Bakir, HOUND:RFZ-H18M) Basic Mission: Destroy the abandoned facility and the enemy occupiers. Evaluation Points: Time elapsed, enemies destroyed, average attack distance. Extra Operations: Time spend <5 mins, no damaged parts. Rewards: Any Grade= RFZ-GE-A3 (Generator) S Grade= RFZ-RC-2 (System Device) Tips for S Rank: Take out the enemies in F4 and F5, the range is about 400-600M, start at 600M, and move closer if any make it through your salvo's. Then simply move to F5, and bombard the settlement, Faulk will tell you when you've done enough. One of the easier Gunner missions. Mission 03: Attack Armed Group 2 (Map: Kara Bakir, HOUND: RFZ-H18M) Basic Mission: Intercept many small enemies. Evaluation Points: Time elapsed, enemies destroyed, average attack distance Extra Operations: Halt enemy before C3 & E5, no damaged parts. Rewards: Any Grade= RFZ-WHW-2 (Weapon, Howitzer) S Grade= RFZ-WHW-1 (Weapon, Howitzer) Tips for S Rank: You will have three groups of enemy from the south, and two from the west. The south group comprises four tanks, then two AT-ST's, and three Snipers. The West group is five tanks, and five heavy walkers. Get into a good, high vantage position, say the peak just on your right as the mission starts, so you can see quite a way down both roads. Take out the enemy advancing from the south, the tanks and then the AT-ST's. IGNORE your orders, and then take out the tanks coming from the West (which grant's you the S rank) before turning back to the south to get the snipers, and finally facing west one final time to destroy the heavy walkers. You range will vary, depending on where you position your self, but a decent rule of thumb is 700ish for the south (puts your fire right on the bend) and 400is to the west, which places your fire just south of the large cliff on the join of D2/3). Mission 04: Assault armed group base (Map: , HOUND: RFZ-H27M) Basic Mission: Attack and destroy an enemy base. Evaluation Points: Time elapsed, enemies destroyed, average attack distance. Extra Operations: All Allied units survive, No damage to Sara's ACV. Rewards: Any Grade= RFZ-ASP-2 (Spacer) S Grade= RFZ-AAM-3 (Assist, Armour) Tips for S Rank: You want hard? This one is! Start by bombarding the AT-ST's. The range for all of them is either just under 600, or just over it, as long as you don't move when you start. Then quickly get to the hill they occupied, you won't need to move again for the rest of the mission. Start to take out the battery cannons, which is easier said than done. There are six fixed cannons, spread out through I3 to F7. Bear in mind on top of the hill as you are, you are approximately on the same level as the turrets... Once you've got the last one, help mop up the attacking squad, and be sure to destroy the five snipers that come in from F3 to finish. The key to getting the S rank is to alternate your attacks from taking out the wall cannons to helping to defend your squad. It can get very difficult, especially with the splash damage you get from several cannons at once throwing off your aim *cough*Double Gloucester*cough*. Mission 05: Pursue Armed Group (Map: North Durama Desert, HOUND: RFZ-H18M) Basic Mission: Intercept and annihilate enemy force as they try to escape. Evaluation Points: Time elapsed, enemies destroyed, average attack distance. Extra Operations: Never hit any friendlies, All Allied Units survive. Rewards: Any Grade= RFZ-WHW-2 (Weapon, Howitzer) S Grade= RFZ-ML-2 (Leg Part, Multi) Tips for S Grade: One of the easier ones, you can just get really close before wasting all of the first two groups. Stay in front of your allies to safeguard the Ex Op's, and remember that damage to you doesn't count, so be as reckless as you like (but don't loose your legs, eh?!). Just after the third group, another, much smaller group approaches on the opposite side of the river. take these out quickly to pretty much guarantee the S Rank. There are another three squads back on your side of the river to finish off before it's back home for medals, tea and cake. Spiffing, wot wot! Mission 06: Pursue Armed Group 2 (Map: Dinar Plains, HOUND: RFZ-H18M) Basic Mission: Use a surprise attack to wipe out the enmey and their fixed battery defences. Evaluation Points: Time elapsed, enemies destroyed, average attack distance. Extra Operations: Force Enemy HOUND retreat, All Oil wells destroyed. Rewards: Any Grade= RFZ-AAM-1 (Armour) S Grade= RFZ-WHW-1 (Weapon, Howitzer) Tips for S Rank: Another tough one, I'm afraid. To get the S, you really need to be quick, and destroy of the Black HOUND. Start by moving to the peak just in front of you, and taking out the two gun emplacements (~1000m and ~920m, fact fans). Help mop up the attackers (enemy in dark brown mechs), before destroying the gas tanks (wait until all three Heavy walkers are all lined up along them), then get ready to take on the HOUND. He appears on the distant ridge in B9, and is around 900-1000M away from you. You have to be very quick, or he goes away, and you mess up the Ex Op. Once he's shot once, he will move around to the base of the mountain. You have to get finish him here quickly, so you can clean up the remaining attackers (six AT-ST's) taking on your squad in C4. Although the Allies can take damage, if you commander is destroyed, it's mission over. try to leave one or two (hopefully heavily damaged) AT-ST's so you can concentrate on the Cerberus HOUND. Be sure to also destroy the gas tanks nestled at the base of the hill, just out of view in F7, to get both Ex OP's. Mission 07: Pursue Armed Group 3 (Map: North Cemo Oil Field, HOUND: RFZ-H18M) Basic Mission: Locate and destroy the three enemy camps. "Collateral damage is not an issue, there is absolutely no need to show any restraint" Boo-YAH! Time to get it ON. Evaluation Points: Time elapsed, Enemies destroyed, average attack distance. Extra Operations: Oil wells and buildings destroyed, Never hit any friendlies, all allied Units survive. Rewards: Any Grade= RFZ-WCN-1 (Weapon, Cannon) S Grade= RFZ-WHC-1 (Weapon, Heavy Cannon) Tips for S Rank: Could well be the hardest mission in the whole game. Watch your shots, and judge it well, running out of ammo is a real possibility. Wipe out the oil wells, not forgetting the those in G6, which are kind of hidden behind the pipeline. Then move into the town and oil area you were just bombarding, and take out the castle wall in D3 (stand on the last crossroads in E4 and fire at 750-800M), as well as the six AT-ST's that guard it. Do it quickly, so the AT-ST's don't return fire, and more importantly, you don't hit your own troops. Then move on to the final part of the mission, in the North East area, ensuring you leave no oil wells standing where you are now. Then just follow your commanders orders, and wipe them all out, buildings and all! Very difficult, but also enjoyable when you get it right.

Evaluation Points: Time elapsed, damage taken, surviving allies. Extra Operations: Time spent <10 mins. Rewards: Any Grade= RFZ-NM-1(NA Maker) S Grade= RFZ-GE-C1 (Generator) Squad Numbers 02 & 03: Hover Scout ACV's. Tips for S rank: Pretty easy, really. You only have two units under your command, so it's a gentle introduction. Straight away, order them to ALL>ATTACK>GRID C6, and join in on the fun (actually, it's only a couple of tanks. You can take them out before your instructor stops talking, but your squad won't move until he does!). Once the two AT-ST's are taken care of, Direct #01 to CAPTURE COMBAS A, and #02 to CAPTURE COMBAS B. You get COMBAS C yourself, and take out the enemy there. Then order ALL>CAPTURE COMBAS D, and follow them in for the final two enemies and a nice easy S. NOTE: One of the RT types that deeply annoyed me. Not as much as Heavy Gunner (Why can't you turn subtitles off? I want to see my range finder, not your warbling!). Apart from the fact it's either 'all' or individual commands, my main gripe is the way the game doesn't tell you who is in your squad. You have to work it out, through trial and error, so almost every TC mission takes at least two goes to get the S rank. Have no fear, mind. Included in the details for the following missions is a break down of which squad number has which ACV RT. I struggled through re-plays (well, alright, only 4, 5 and 6) so you don't have to. Enjoy! NOTE: It should be remembered that for the following missions, if Rahman's Hover Scout ACV is destroyed, it's not only minus 100 points in some cases, but also an automatic mission fail, so don't ever put him in a position where he's outnumbered! Mission 02: Training Unit Exercise (Map Bais Halayi Field, HOUND: RFZ-C07C) Basic Mission: Take out the enemy team before they get away. Evaluation Points: Time elapsed, damage taken, surviving allies. Extra Operations: Halt enemy before B3, E3, H3. All allied units survive. Rewards: Any Grade= RFZ-WL-1 (Legs Part, Wheeled) S Grade= RFZ-CK-A1 (Cockpit) Squad Numbers 01, 02, 03 = Hover Scout ACV's. Squad Numbers 04 & 05 = Bipedal Soldier ACV's (AT-ST's) Tips for S Rank: Nothing to hard. Get in the habit (or at least, I did) of using the D-pad with your right thumb, so you can give orders, move and shoot all at the same time! Send out two scouts to capture COMBAS's A and B. Move yourself and both soldiers to COMBAS C, changing the order to ALL>ATTACK>GRID C6 when the enemy pops up on scope. Then order a scout to capture COMBAS D, and the other two to capture COMBAS's D and E. Move the soldiers and yourself down to COMBAS H, and again, order ALL>ATTACK>GRID H4 when the little red dots appear. Once they are all mopped up, it's another easy S in the bag. Mission 03: Training Unit Exercise 2 (Map: Bais Halayi Field, HOUND:RFZ-C07C) Basic Mission: Find and destroy the enemy base. Evaluation points: Time elapsed, damage taken, survivng allies. Extra Operations: Secured all COMBAS's, All allied units survive. Rewards: Any Grade= RFZ-GE-A4 (Generator) S Grade= RFZ-WLM-1 (Weapon, Land mines) Squad Numbers: 01, 02, 03 = Hover Scout ACV's. Squad Numbers: 04, 05 = Bipedal Soldier ACV's (AT-ST's) Tips for S Rank: Gosh, which of the four could the base be? How ever will you find it in just ten minutes? Eh, it's base 2. Sorry, did that spoil the surprise? Don't go charging in, though, we want that S rank. There are two large groups of enemies on the map, the first is at COMBAS B, so order ALL>ATTACK COMBAS B, and get over there for the party. Get a single scout over to COMBAS A as you go (#01, Rahman, is a good choice - keeps him out of harms way) Now quickly order your remaining scouts to capture COMBAS's D, E and F, whilst ordering the Soldiers to attack COMBAS G, which is where you should head. Mop up the enemies, and start attacking the base, ordering all to attack the base, except for a lone scout, who should capture COMBAS H and then G as you hit the base. A bit more hairy that the last couple, but still only moderate for a TC mission. Mission 04: Pursue Enemy Attack Force (Map: Aydin Desert, HOUND: RFZ-C07C) Basic Mission: Stop the Enemy from escaping. Evaluation points: Time elapsed, damage taken, surviving allies. Extra Operations: Secured all COMBAS's, Prevent entry into C5. Rewards: Any Grade: RFZ-WMG-1 (Weapon, Machine Gun) S Grade: RFZ-NM-3 (NA Maker) Squad Numbers 01 & 02 = Hover Scout ACV's Squad Numbers 03, 04 & 05 = Sniper ACV's Tips for S Rank: It's no walk in the park, let me tell you. It's a tight, tight race to get everything done, and you will need both the Ex Op's to get the S rank. Since taking no damage is not one of the Ex Op's, the best bet is to get your hands dirty. You start the map with COMBAS's L,K, and H, so that's alright. First up, capture COMBAS M (watch the cliff!), then I, E, B and A. Send your snipers (#03, 04 & 05) to capture COMBAS G, and the two scouts #01 & 02 to capture COMBAS's F (02) and G (01). This bit is all quite easy, but the next bit can be a timing nightmare. As soon as the enemy appear on the map, send the scout at COMBAS F to capture COMBAS J. Now it's just a case of getting to the road in grid C2 and helping the Snipers clean up the five AT-ST's on the road. If your scout #02 finishes capturing the tower before you finish off the enemy (who can't reach C5, don't forget!), then S will seem easy and sweet. Might take two tries, though! If you really struggle, Make a command HOUND with Hover legs, for the speed boost, it'll help you get that leg work done early on. Mission 05: HOUND recovery (Map: East Bayazil River, HOUND: RFZ-C07C) Basic Mission: Wipe out all the enemy in the area. Evaluation Points: Time elapsed, damage taken, surviving allies. Extra Operations: Own HOUND not damaged, All allied units survive. Rewards: Any Grade: RFZ-AFS-1 (Fuel Tank) S Grade: RFZ-CL-1 (Legs, Tread) Squad Numbers 01 & 02 = Hover Scout ACV's Squad Numbers 03, 04, 05 = Sniper ACV's. Tips for S Rank: Ok, now we're into the 'rock hard' territory. Or at least, 'mildly frustrating'. That 'No damage' Ex op means just that - not a nick on the paint work of your HOUND, or it's failed. Welcome to back seat game play. Luckily, you don't need to capture COMBAS's, and time isn't really an issue. The easiest thing to do, is to order the Snipers as one unit, then, as they get half/two thirds of the way there, order the scouts, so they get to a location as a full squad, and can better deal with the enemy. The enemy are in four locations, and it's best to deal with them in order: Those near COMBAS G, then those near COMBAS A and BASE 1, before moving around to COMBAS F, and mopping the final few up at BASE 3. It's not really hard to do, just a bit fiddly. Keep the squad together, as suggested, and it's quite easy. Be sure to pull out #01 if he complains he needs back up, it means he's taking damage. The only mission in the whole game where I didn't use the default HOUND to play through to get the S. I traded it in for some Hover Legs and sniper rifles; no way I'm missing the action! Mission 06: HOUND Recovery 2 (Map: West Bayazil river, HOUND: RFZ-C07C) Basic Mission: Assault and destroy the Enemy HQ. Evaluation Points: Time elapsed, damage taken, surviving allies. Extra Operations: All Allied units survive, No enemy left near HQ. Rewards: Any Grade = RFZ-WMT-3 (Weapon, Mortar) S Grade = RFZ-ASD-S1 (Assist, Thermal Vision) Tips for S Rank: Not very hard at all. Just order all to COMBAS F, and follow them in, taking out all the enemy there. Next, order all to attack BASE 1, and again, follow them in. concentrate on the ACV's around the base, and when you are sure you've got them all, shoot out the large gas tanks next to the base to finish it off. Just make sure you get to the base quickly, and prioritise your targets - any enemy unit shooting an ally should be dealt with swiftly, so to help get both the Ex Ops. Mission 07: HOUND Recovery 3 (Map: Ruins, HOUND: RFZ-C07C) Basic Mission: Search the area, destroying any enemy units you find. Extra Operations: Time Spent <5 Minutes, Kept Rahman from heavy damage, Own HOUND not damaged. Rewards: Any Grade = RFZ-NM-2 (NA Maker) S Grade = RFZ-WCN-2 (Weapon, Cannon) Squad Number 01 = Rahman, Hover scout. Will NOT follow orders for this mission. Squad Number 02 = Hover Scout ACV Squad Number 03 = Sniper ACV Squad Numbers 04 & 05 = Bipedal Soldier ACV's. You know what I'm going to say, don't you? Yeah, I ignore the 'own HOUND not damaged' Ex Op. To be honest, if you get it, then you will more than likely miss the <5 mins one, so it's really up to you. You only need two of the three to get the S rank. The easiest way is this: Order ALL>ATTACK COMBAS F. This is the location of the enemy hound, so get in there and save Rahman from a pasting! Once the HOUND is down (very easy, just make sure you don't hit your allies in the fight!), it's just a case of directing them to take out the remaining enemies in G4, and that should pretty much be it. HOUND Type borrowed: RFZ-C07C (Tactics Commander) Legs: RFZ-CL-2 Ckpt: RFZ-CK-B1 Genr: RFZ-GE-B2 (Weapons) 2x lm RFZ-WMG-2 (machine gun) 2x rm RFZ-WMG-2 (machine gun) (other) 1x tm RFZ-NM-1 (NT Maker) ############################################################################### Super Secret Final Mission FINLRT -------------------------- FINAL MISSION (MAP: , HOUND) Basic Mission: Find yourself placed in a hand basket, with 'to Satan, 666 lava street' as the address you are heading to. Evaluation Points: Time elapsed, Damage taken, Enemies destroyed. Extra Operations: No damaged parts, Destroyed Carlos's HOUND, Destroyed Oscar's HOUND. Rewards: Any Grade = RFZ-CL-X (Leg part, tank tracks) S Grade = Tips for finishing the mission: Tips for S Rank: Right at the start, ignore all the tanks, and head up towards BASE #01. Go past it, tracking, anti clockwise, around the large mountain in I2 -F3. There are three or four tanks to take out along here. In the canyon/step valley on the far side, about half way in, you can see, amongst the houses in the distance, Oscar�s HOUND. Start shooting to get his attention, and then dodge his sniper shots as he closes in on you. Draw him back down the valley, hitting him with alternate anti-HOUND rockets and Assault rifles, and he should go down no problem. Unfortunately, right behind him is Carlos, and he�s a git of the highest order. He has shotguns that he�ll pepper you with at range, and the nasty experimental cannon to whack you with up close. Draw him backwards, letting him have everything you�ve got. Cycle through all your weapons, but keep calm and make those shots count! If you can get some high ground on him, you�ve pretty much won, so long as you keep out of range of his experimental weapon. You don�t get any reward for the third HOUND, and this way, you never need to face him. Not so much a difficulty curve as a difficulty wall, right at the end here! HOUND type borrowed: RFZ-M38R (Special Ops Soldier HOUND) Legs: RFZ-RJ-1 (Inverse) Ckpt: RFZ-CK-A2 Genr: RFZ-GE-A3 (Weapons) 3x lm RFZ-WHT-2 (Anti-HOUND Rocket) 2x rm RFZ-WCN-1 (Cannon) 3x tm RFZ-WAR-3 (Assault Rifle) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Fellow Chromehounder Spear 2day's Tips for S rank: The easy way is to build your own Hound with 4 machine guns grouped together and then as many anti hound canons or snipers as you can carry with an NA. Move forward destroying all the small mechs and head towards the enemy hounds as soon as they start to move head back and around the righthand side of the mountain past the Combas and up the small pass. Take out the commander hound with your machine guns and then deal with the other small mechs. Then turn your attention to the first of the other hounds who should be following behind you, again machine guns alone can deal with him but sniper or cannons work well before he gets to close. Now the hard bit the last hound (leader) is the slowest so you should be able to out pace him easily just keeping him at a distance and snipe or shoot him repeatedly with the cannons, don't let him get close enough to launch the rockets. It takes a few hits but you should find he'll go down fairly quickly ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Fellow Chromehounder Gleeb sent in this suggestion: HOUND Used: LEGS : RFZ-ML-1 (Multilegged) COCKPIT : RFZ-CK-A1 NA : RFZ-NM-2 (Placed on top of Mech) GUN SET 1 : RFZ-WMG-2 (Machine guns, Extra Ammo) GUN SET 2 : RFZ-WHT-2 (Rockets) GENERATOR : RFZ-GE-B2 (It DOES fit, you need to rotate it) Tactic Used: Head North to H-5, Keeping close to the hill. You may get attacked, but at this distance, they usually won't hit and won't follow, either. Head west, around the mountain, making sure to eliminate anything you see on the NA. This will reduce the amount of damage you take. As soon at the threat is eliminated, walk through the valley, taking the high road through G-2. Watch your NA, and stop moving when you see Carlos and Oliver moving. As soon as you have contact, look for Carlos, the skinnier of the two HOUNDs. Start retreating and pelt him with Machine Gun fire. It shouldn't take long to kill him. Switch to your Rockets and take aim at Oliver, who should still be a ways away. Keep him that way and just flatten him. You should have more than enough ammo assuming that you used your Machine Guns to attack the smaller targets. Using the above HOUND and tactic combination worked in getting me an S rank the first time I tried it this way. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Phantom Doom, AKA Rayge didn't do the merry dance around the mountain: Hey, I used your FAQ to help get a good few of my S Ranks, and thought I'd add my two cents to the final mission (vs. Cerberus Squad) I did try the "circle around the mountain" method, but in the end, it didn't help me in the least. To finally beat it (with great ease I might add) I used the following parts: Legs: 4-legged model #2 (the more defensive of the two) Cockpit: the 2nd one (not the really light one, but the square-ish one with one joint on either side)Generator: Third one from the bottom, if you have them all (saves on weight)Weapons:2-3x Cannon (the more powerful Anti-HOUND shell-shooter) set to fire HEAT rounds(CE Damage)4 Anti-HOUND Spears (the 20-foot ranged spears.....quite powerful!)and the Sniper Cannon (also set to fire HEAT rounds)(I may have had a regular rifle to deal with tanks; depends on what weight allows) Alternate the sniper and reg. Cannons from a distance and you'll deal Serious damage. If any of them get near you, get in quickly and spear them. I've actually taken the Soldier Cerberus down once using ONLY the 4 spears. if you can keep your aim fairly good, you can actually take them both down before they get too close. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nelson adds another variant way: I was getting stuck on the last mission for like ever.. i used my sniper/soldier and stood at the top of the hill behind the rock at the side directly infront of the 3 black mechs. i take carlos out then the other one just would never die.. well so i looked at your guide.. and well it made me think of something really bright.. to borrow the stupid hound.. in 2 tries i got "s" completed on it. I first killed the stupid tanks that were in the start area, then turned left to go on the hill that the tanks were on.. from there i used the rifle shots till carlos was in range of the 2 big cannons.. from there direct hits from those and sprays from the rifle and rockets brought him down quick.. and the same method goes for the leader. just stay on that hill dodging their shots and when you have to reolad just move to the side so they can't hit you. of course oscar keeps shooting at you.. but that doesn't matter as long as you kill the leader before serious damage is delt. I know the method doesn't sound like much.. but try it and i am sure it will work.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Griff emailed to say: Your walkthrough helped me out with some of the missions i was having trouble with so i thought i'de share with you the easiest way to S rank the final Mission. =) Basically just build a soldier with 2 groups of 4 of the anti hound rockets basically 2 of the ones with the hex frames and then 2 of the non framed ones connected to those on each side, and just with those 2 groups of 4 alternate between the 2 groups and you'll tear through Carlos and Edgardo no problem if you can do it fast enough ############################################################################### PART INFOMATION ------------------ SINGLE PLAYER SINPCL -------------- ONLINE ONLPCL ------- Disclaimer: This online section is very subjective.

Special thanks must go to some people who really helped out and contributed to this guide, though, and I wouldn't be the gentleman I am if I didn't name them; Attep, Kizmett, Spear 2day and Suicida all had a hand, however minor, in adding information to this guide, and I thank them for the time they took to do that. Spear 2day, Gleeb, Phantom Doom (AKA Rayge), and Griff. All contributed to the final secret mission, which had me stuck for a bit. Thanks to them for getting in touch with their very varied ways of winning that last valuable S rank. If you're featured here in this new version, and don't want to be, please email me and I'll take you out. I just thought it was best to include you, and interesting that you all had a different take on that last pain in the arse mission. *sniff* I'm welling up, which is a serious threat to my man-ness, so it's time to go. I hope you got something out of this FAQ, I hope it made you play a little better, or enjoy a previously frustrating rock hard bit. I hope you got all those 'S' ranks, and I really truly hope you felt good about it when you did. I doubt this will be my last FAQ, but you never know, so just in case: Be nice to each other, because we're all that we've got. You've been fabulous, while I was only amazing. And remember: When it's time to pay the bill, leave a little tip to help the next poor sucker on his one way trip. Register your vote, kids. Thank you, and goodnight, Frank, wherever you are.
