Syndicate Wars Hints
Mission REF 18: Sevastopol
MISSION OBJECTIVE: Kill the Unguideds
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: see REF 18 New Delhi
MISSION TACTICS:
It's very easy to get killed in this Mission if you just jump into it. Flying cars, tanks, and 40 Unguideds all armed with plasma lances would completely overwhelm you. Perhaps it's impressive to watch them fire those weapons all at once, but I'm sure your team doesn't feel the same way.
In total there are 7 main points:
1) the first building (starting position)
2) the first Unguided attacks
3) three flying vehicles
4) the motorcycle & the tanks
5) the first platoon near the tank
6) the second platoon in the left corner
7) the Unguideds behind the bridge over the fences on the right
I'll describe them separately below. I advice you to follow them in the same sequence. Be sure to take some high explosives and trigger wire with you. Part 5, 6 and 7 can be found in the hint Mission REF 18: Sevastopol (continued), because it became too large to put it all in one hint.
1. Take out the building in front of your starting position. There are only four Unguideds occupying it but they are armed with plasma lances. Put a high explosive on the barrier. It destroys the building and everyone in it.
2. Advance to the first crossroad behind the building you just destroyed. Take out the Unguideds that are noticing you with the long-range rifle. They all attack separately and there are about 12 in total. Be patient, and let them come to you one by one. It will take a while, but it will be worth the effort because it will make life easier later on. Don't walk further into the city yet because it would alert other Unguideds.
3. At this point, you may encounter your first flying vehicle. It's very easy to take it out with the launchers. Four direct hits and they'll blow up in the sky. You'll encounter the other 2 flying vehicles while doing point 4.
4. As soon as you walk further to the north (by following the initial road from the starting position), a motorcycle will notice you. Also, it will alert two tank-drivers. The tanks that you can see are still empty. So you will have to kill these drivers before they reach their tanks. Wait until you're fully charged. Put on the shield, and walk towards the motorcycle. Launch four rockets as soon as the target is close enough. Walk past the exploding motorcycle, and kill the two drivers with your long-range rifle. It's a matter of timing, and it will take you a few attempts to get it right.
If you survived this you will have to take care of the two remaining flying vehicles. Done? Congratulations: you survived the hardest part of this mission. What remains is a piece of cake, although it does not look like it at first.
