argh!! - I keep getting to the wraiths at the very end of Tsavo Highway ( which is good because i finally have a strategy that seems to work). I can take the first one down. I tried to steal it a couple times, but I always got blasted from the back from the two wraiths that come up after I start engaging the brutes. When I try to take the down the other ones I keep running out of plasma pistol ammo. The only way i can get any more is from the turret with the grunt in it. But when i get the ammo i'm so out in the open either i get killed by the choppers or the wraith(s).
I got the ammo at the base of the cliff/highway
Is there any more ammo besides the grunt in the turret?
Anyways, i should get lucky once or twice and thats all i need to complete the level. :)
Have you checked out the walkthrough? Both 1.0 and 2.0 use the same method for dealing with the three Wraiths. A general rule of thumb is to not try and steal the first one. Either you'll get blasted while trying, or even if you make it inside and across the bridge, you'll have to deal with the other two lobbing mortars from behind while you deal with the Brutes.
MOTOR POOL UPDATE:
This battle is really starting to frustrate me. I'd like to make it work every time, so I'm asking all of the people who do this Kamikaze style to step forward. Most of you tell me that this works for you almost all the time, so my big question is, what are you doing differently?
With all of my strategies (accept for S&S) I always seem to be running into the same problem on my failed attempts. Eventually, the number of Brutes that come after me exceeds the number I can manage. Usually this happens towards the end of the battle after the second wave has emerged. It gets to a point where 2-3+ will start coming after me from the right side of the trailer, and sometimes one comes from the other side. I even had an instance yesterday where four came at me at the same time from the same side of the trailer. I actually seem to do fine on the opposite side of the room up until they push the large double-box too far into the wall in which I'm no longer able to hide behind it. Is there any way to limit the number that comes after me? Perhaps I'm doing something to provoke more of them to come at one time.
Again, S&S seems to work pretty much every time unless I do something stupid, but I'm trying to prevent the need to stockpile, and Kamikaze is clearly faster.
What should I be doing differently to make Kamikaze more of a success?
I'm redoing parts of 2.0 now that I've found a way to completely eliminate the threat of both the second and third waves of the Jump-Jet battle.
