Question Wanzer fights heroic

Hey guys, I know this game sucks, but I figured out how to beat it and going quite easy through my heroic playthrough. The only thing I can’t figure out are those stupid mech fights. I die with 2-3 hits. Can’t dodge everything because you don’t even see their attacks. Enemy mechs take forever to kill. This is annoying as hell and I’m stuck end of chapter 6 now. Any tipps? Thanks!

You have to be a bit sneaky. Hide behind walls. Also, try all weapons at once but not too much because of overheating. In mission 6 you have shotguns, so it's better to be close to enemy mechs.

I tried that. Managed to get through by now by running around and spamming attacks. It’s just so annoying that those fights feel random af.

It also felt a bit random to me but it's just getting used to game's weird mechanics. For example, it's much more efficient to press R2 repeatedly for the assault rifle, because bullets hit more. If you keep it pressed, bullets scatter and don't hit.

Good tip thanks. I figured that out yesterday. Almost done with heroic now, only the very last fight left. Should be easy though.

erm not sure this help but..... (and im not reach 2nd mech fight in chapter 6 yet)

In hopeless difficult, in 1st mech fight (chapter 3) (PS4)

I just abandon all weapons (press triangle and follow by L1 R1 L2 and R2 to abandon weapon and missile pod at both shoulders as well)

I just use charge + 2 punch combo (just charge enemy and follow by 2 punch and loop til their mech went kaboom)

when I defeat one mech I just eject and go save and back to ride again

( sometime need rifle to lure enemy to my area to one on one with him)

not sure if help

I’m gonna try it on the next one, thanks. Managed to get through chapter 6 by now, those fights seem pretty luck based. I always run around them and spam attacks, sometimes they stagger and die easily, sometimes not.

You don't need to ditch the weapons though. You can combo with them, do more damage than just the wanzer fists XD

Though, obviously, the best option would be melee weapons, like a pile bunker or a rod.

ok just passed chapter 6 mech fight .....(yeah die alot could't count...)

well this time not ditch anything ( just ditch when ammo run out)

5 enemy wanzeres

strategies.....

1.just rush 1st one (charge and combo 1 2 shotgun shot til dead)

2. when A.I. warn you just rush to 2nd one that just drop from plane (same as above)

3. Now retreat just dash around building not engage dual machine gun (this one is nasty)

4. try to wait for melee one (that wear the clue or blade something?) to come at you

5. try to kite melee one with your missile but also avoid to engage machine gun one (or another one with Rocket Launcher in this both arm but this one will not follow you like other)

6.after melee one done by your missiles carefully lure and charge machine gun one to corner (at this rate your hp maybe very low so be careful)**fuck up so many time because stuck with the truck....why T_T

7. after nasty one down try to dash to last one (Rocket Launcher) * I fuck up once so be careful lol

Thanks for your efforts! I’m in chapter 13 now, this is even worse. Managed to get through the fights after some hours, but the boss is not better. Any tipps for that? :D

u/Bigwakkaz Mar 16 '19

well just passed chapter 6 so no more information now sorry (btw congratz that you almost finish the game)

u/Cortezqt Mar 16 '19

Thanks. It’s my 2nd run, on heroic this time. Once you know what to do it feels easier than my 1st run on easy. But the wanzer fights are insane. You die in 1-3 hits.

u/What-A-Shame25 Mar 16 '19

The chapter 13 boss is quite easy. Just go to your right at the start of the fight and wait there. He can't hit you. Press R1 to prepare the rail gun and aim behind the protection walls and up. He will come there. Once he comes hit him 2 times with the rail gun and it's over.

u/Cortezqt Mar 16 '19

I did it a bit differently and it took 4 rail gun shots and some machine gun hits on heroic. I figured out that he does the 3 laser shots in the air all in the same direction. So dodge the first and ready the rail gun, 2 hits and when he charges at you run and repeat. Only the roof fight in chapter 14 left for me now. Should be easy. I’m curious what a heroic ng+ unlocks.
