Hey Guys!
Luckily if you have not yet gotten this achievement you’ll have the opportunity to not have to deal with the most difficult challenge in extinction history (Kill a Phantom while in mid-air). Yes they got rid of this challenge.
Other than that the only difficult ones are the (1) kill the marked aliens before any other, and (2) Kill x amount of enemies without taking damage. For these two challenges is where you’re going to want to save your flares for. You will most likely get one of these challenges every time you load up nightfall.
I did this with 4 people; however it’s easier with 3. And make sure no one is running ANY relics. And on regular difficulty of course.
Recommended load outs:
1. Weapon Specialist, Explosive ammo, full-auto pistol, body armor, drone, riot shield
2. Engineer, Explosive ammo, full-auto pistol, team boosters, drone, turret
3. Medic, regular ammo, full-auto pistol, body armor, sentry gun, turret
4. Weapon specialist/Medic, full-auto pistol, feral instinct/random supplies, sentry gun, riot shield
If you end up attempting this with 3 people always have at least one weapon specialist, medic, and engineer.
****For the weapon specific challenges we had 2 guys upgrade their pistols to carry two primary weapons. You want one guy with SMG, one with AR, and one with LMG, one of each weapon type. The people with upgraded pistols should be the ones to buy the shotgun or sniper if you get those challenges, always have two people going for those two specific weapon type challenges
****Very important note before you place drill, make sure any traps you turned on are no longer on because if you end up getting the challenge to kill marked aliens first the traps will fuck it up. Also whoever has regular ammo should throw this out because the explosive ammo can end up also killing surrounding aliens that aren’t marked. (It has happened to me before)
****Also play close attention right after the drill is placed if you get the no abilities challenge quickly throw out some stuff you have around 3 seconds which is plenty of time to throw at least 2 things out.
****For the don’t reload your weapon don’t throw out any ammo, instead engineer should turn on any traps in the area, call out sentry guns and vulture drones. If it gets really hectic throw a flare.
****For not spending any money, you want to quickly throw out any ammo and rely totally on your weapons; you can’t buy abilities or traps. This is the most difficult I believe of these. Good thing none of these last for as long as the drill takes, usually amount of time depends on amount of people in game.
Other than that all these challenges are doable with a good team with great communication, I don’t recommend trying this with any randoms.
BREEDER BOSS FIGHT:
Before you enter the arena, make sure everyone has venom-x weapons, and any flares, hypno knives, or trophies you can scavenge. The most important part of this is you all stay together, don’t go splitting up because it will make this a hell of a lot more difficult. Everyone should run to the far right side behind the truck from where you enter. The guys with the man mounted turrets start shooting at breeder right away (aim at middle of head), the other two should focus on the aliens and protecting your buddies on the turrets. Spray some venom x on breeder and she will fall down leaving her exposed. Shoot at her glowing chest. Once you bring her down halfway she’ll go away and hordes of aliens will start to come out, including 3 rhinos. Use the turrets and sentry’s to clear most of these out, if you have flares use them here to quicken the process. Once she comes back do the same 2 and 2 method as before and you should kill her in no time.
Hope this guide helps!!
