 Re: Tip of the day Cleanliness is a virtue. Always clean up the scrap around you, or else someday a one-pixel terrain will detonate whatever explosive weapon you're trying to fire. In your face.

Re: Tip of the day Sometimes you need more than one weapon to finish the job. Always carry a light secondary weapon, such as a pistol, in case you run out of ammo in the middle of a fight or are disarmed.
A good way to disarm and incapacitate a Dreadnaught is to jetpack-dive into its upper chassis; this will cause it to fall and maybe even gib its shield plating. Beware of getting stuck on the front of the Dreadnaught, as it will quickly rip to you pieces with its MG; immediately turn around and rapidly jetpack away.
Take advantage of lulls in the fighting to repair your bunker, set up traps, buy soldiers, and heal actors.
Mining gold isn't the only way to make cash. Recycle dropped enemy weapons and tools with dropships for huge financial bonuses. Also, while risky, it is sometimes possible to abduct enemy actors using dropships. This is especially easy to do when actors have been disarmed or have lost their limbs and can't flee from the dropship.
If an enemy actor pulls out a grenade, fire away. You will either kill them before the throw, causing them to drop the grenade, or you will hit the grenade in mid-air and blow it up in their face. Not recommended in close quarters.

Re: Tip of the day If you're in possession of a gatling weapon, and there are enemies on the other side of that wall, don't be afraid to fire through it. Same applies for some snipers.

Re: Tip of the day If you're too heavy to fly and carry at least two weapons, try unloading one or both (by firing one bullet, hitting "reload" and then switching weapon before it's done reloading). Those magazines have a surprising inpact on your weight.

Re: Tip of the day Sometimes one single grenade is worth a thousand figurative shots.
If you don't want to get a head shot, cover your precious head with your weapon.
Blasting the door actuators will sometimes be easier then blasting the damn door itself.

Re: Tip of the day Avoid the X-Wrap at all costs. It's more moody than your worst ex-girlfriend, twice as unpredictable, and three times as likely to kill you.

Re: Tip of the day High mass weaponry are great for instant kills [Aim for the head]
Explosions, high mass weaponry, and what not, can send people rolling [Making them roll into others, killing them, and, or slowing them down]
When you are rushed by an AI with a digger, dodge, or redirect them by shooting them [Maybe get them to roll out or get a head shot]
If an enemy is using a digger, it is a good idea to throw a grenade into that [If they are rushing you, this may not be a good idea]
The dummy's destroyer cannon is very effective on biotic targets, and armored targets [Like coalition, or ronin, I recommend this for dreadnoughts]
Flak Cannons are probably one of the best shotgun-like weapon, just be careful if the flak shell hits something before exploding
Spike Cannons, are like short range flak cannons, damn good at killing.

Re: Tip of the day If you have a unit with no arm, don't just shoot it, it can still be useful! By going to a group of enemy units it will cause them to shoot each other, and luckily you can just crush someone by your crouch!

Re: Tip of the day When a enemy is using rockets to drop troops in its a good idea to shoot the top of the rocket, This keeps it from flying in your direction in most cases.

Re: Tip of the day When under fire, move back, hit and hold duck, and aim in the direction of the enemy.
Congratulations, you are now on your back.
The enemy will hit your feet before your head, your weapon protects your face, and you are a smaller target.
Caution: Dreadnoughts will still ♥♥♥♥ you up.
Explosives are godly powerful.
Any one of them is like a clip of bullets loaded into a box.
And they are more accurate than said entire clip, if you can arc right.

Re: Tip of the day The best way to make a sniper protect your bunker is by destroying it legs.
Armless/Legless actors may still have use, either as proyectiles or getting them into a dropship and sell them.
*DO NOT* Attempt to land rockets in unstable terrain, a.k.a. anywhere. Use drop crates or dropships.
Kill the dummy in the firing range in the tutorial. He can go through that door, get that AK-47 and destroy your brain. Seriously.
Do not attempt to smash an oponent with a drop crate, instead, fill the drop crate with explosives and hope any of them kills it.
Do not attempt to smash an opponent dropship with a drop crate either, as a result the enemy dropship will return to Midas and the drop crate will kill your troops.
Put the brain vault in the very top of the map, then you will have an unbeatable brain.

Re: Tip of the day If you're modding, invest in stripping down a copy of your CC folder to some semblance of BareBonesCC (from years back, now). You'll save hours of your life and not find yourself relying on obscure vanilla things.

You'll save hours of your life and not find yourself relying on obscure vanilla things. So, removing any sort of dependancies? Keep an out for things on the modding forums, you may find something that you can use to build something greater.
