Hints

    This page will focus on teamwork, as well as the maulers. Even the experienced player should read through here for new strategies and small tips about overall gameplay for the challenge.

Mauler

The mauler is the most vital part of success in this challenge. Being in posession of double maulers makes even a sub-par player at the advantage over the simulants. Keep the mauler on charged up shot, and you'll be knocking down the sims like never before. Below are the specific locations of the maulers


center

balcony

sandy

Sandy

This mauler is normally not accessed throughout the course of the game unless under certain circumstances. I'd say avoid this location unless you spawn in this room, or considerably close to it. If this is the hill, run straight to the mauler, you can guard from back here if they are on your tail. Don't underestimate how vital it is to have a mauler, and doubles are more than double the advantage, once you have 2 you are unstoppable for quite some time. Also, if you know the other team is going to get a hill, you can walk around this area, pick up the mauler, and pray it's the next hill. It is a hard one to take, so hanging around this are is a good idea. It is better to hang around the balcony, where we take you for the next mauler.

Balcony

As previously mentioned, it is a good idea to hang around this area if the other team is going to score the sandy, pyramid or dead end. You normally wont be getting this mauler, like the Sandy, unless you spawn near it, or under the circumstances that there is nothing better to do than rack up on the guns. If this is the hill, obviously pick it up, unless you already have 2. If your friend doesn't have a mauler, and you have one, let him pick it up. 2 sets of 1 are better than a set of 2, unless your partner(s) have double of any other gun besides the magnum. If both of you have 1, let the one with the most life take the double, or say your friend has full red, no mauler, don't let him have it, he'll lose it anyway.

Center

Finally, the mauler that you'll be getting time after time. You always want to continuously be picking this up, even if you already have 2. This way close trailing sims wont take it, and will be there for later. Normally a sim is close enough behind you to pass it before the next one appears, and it will always be there for you. You normally return sooner than it respawns if you let the sims pick it up, and it's best to keep guns like this out of their hands. Go out of your way to pick up this mauler, the start of the game, it is more important than the hill. Obviously this is a hill, so take it, and follow the same guidlines for "who gets what" as stated in the balcony section. If they are going to get a hill, camp here and wait for the mauler. If nobody is in the hill, camp here and get a mauler. If your friend is holding a close hill (pyramid, balcony), camp here for the mauler. It is probably the most important key to winning this challenge, for a strong arsenal.



Teamwork

     Teamwork is a vital key to winning this challenge, because if you don't use your teammates, it is like you and him playing 2 different games, just the same hills. You don't want that, do you? Didn't think so. Here are some tips to get you started.

  • Cover all entrances
    • keep a player on the common entrances, and don't leave your post. You need to rely on your partner to successfuly complete this challenge. Running to his point is like playing by yourself. That's a no-no.
  • Rely on your teammate
    • as stated above, you need to trust your teammate will do what he needs to in order to keep you alive and keep the hills clear.
  • Backup
    • basically keep one player in front of the other, the first can run to the hill, the other clearing side paths, watching his back
      • with an effective teammate, you should be able to strafe by simulants on your way to being the first to a hill
  • Guard effectively
    • keep your best player at the most common point, etc. If you have all entrances covered, take the best player and stick him on all the entrances, going to the side with the most simulants coming.

coming soon! will be a full length walkthrough for 2 player strategy for all hills
