Operation Deadpoint waves 36 and 40 for mid level players

D3L7A · 2 Sep 2013, 5:00PM

I found these waves extremely difficult, so I'm making a guide on passing them.

Wave 36

Things needed:

7 Paladins(Level 6)/15 Razorbacks(level 9)
14 FAVs(level 1)/ Suicide Trucks (any level)
4 Hellstorms(level 5) (Pretty required)
4 Cobras(Level 10)

Steps:

Bait the Gats, distract with HS and kill off with cobras.
Kill the exposed widowmaker factory
Kill the right side with HS and Cobras. There's no AA except for the MG turrets, so kill them and Destroy the Widowmaker Factory.
Move forward and fire your HS Missiles at a barricade to distract the Widowmaker's drones.
Kill the Stingers, Laser and Mortar using Cobras.
End the attack.
Bait the Behemots and FAVs.
Use 7 FAVs/Suicide Trucks and move them to the left. Charge at the tower, Try to kill as much as possible.
Use 1 Plat of Paladins or Razorbacks to eliminate the remaining Watchtower. (Spread them out) (More Suicide Trucks work too)
Repeat steps 4 and 5 on the left part of the enclosure. Make sure you leave a few barricades standing
Target barricades with HS to distract the widowmaker drones.
Move Cobras in range of the drones, they'll kill them
Target the Widowmaker with HS, keep cobras In range to kill the drones as soon as they spawn.
Eventually the WM will die.
Finish the wave off with whatever you have left.

My losses: 7 FAVs, 7 Paladins, 3 Cobras.

Picture:

Wave 40

Now this is a tough one, but I made it through. It will be long but there is no timer, so take your time.

I figured this out through a little trial and error.

Things needed:

Level 9 Razorbacks with Concussion Warheads.
Level 9 Razorbacks with +5 Range Customisation. OR Level 4+ Hellfires
Cobras (Level 10)
Paladins (level 8; Level 6 will work too, but not as well) (Challengers/Megas are a good alternative, but with higher Repair time)
Any unit with high HP. Megas are best, but if you don't have those, a Challenger or Paladin works. (I'll be using megas this guide.)

Steps:

Deploy 7 Razorbacks and 1 Mega from the southeast. Move the mega within the Napalm Turret's range. Make sure you stay away from the Enforcer.
Use your Razorbacks to target the Enforcer and Flak Tanks. Don't worry about the bunkers, they are full of Suicide Bombers and Flamethrowers.
Kill the Napalm Turret. By now, your mega is probably at less than half HP. Kill the Napalm quickly or end the attack and use another mega.
Kill the Cryo with Razorbacks. Be careful, the Strongholds have Mortars in them.
Kill the bunkers with Razorbacks. Keep Paladins or something to kill the Suicide Bombers that pop out of them.
End the attack and Deploy 1 Mega along with 7 Razorbacks with +5 Range. If you have hellfires, you can try using those instead.
Move them to the SouthWest.
Bait the Napalm with your Mega and use your Razors with +5 range/Hellfires to hit the Red Laser.
After the Laser is Dead, Have your Mega/Paladins finish off the Napalm Turret.
Kill the Flaks and Bunkers with Razors or Paladins. One is hidden behind the Napalm and one behind the Bunker.
Deploy atleast 7 Razorbacks with Concussion to the South. Spread them out
Target the Stronghold. You might lose 3-4 Razors but once the shot lands, the Stronghold will be stunned and useless.
Repeat steps 1-4 on the Northwest.
Repeat steps 6-10 on the Northeast.
Kill the East Stronghold the same way you killed the Southern one.
Do the same to the Western Stronghold
After all the Strongholds are dead, finish the wave off with Cobras or Paladins or whatever you want to use.

You basically have to repeat the steps on each side. As you can see, The Southeast and Northwest are the same, and the SouthWest and Northeast are the same.

My losses (Trial and error sucks): 4 Hellstorms, 5 Cobras, 15 Razorbacks, 4 FAVs, 15 Paladins.

Your losses if you follow this guide: 4 Megas, 7-10 Razorbacks.

This is the easiest way to do this with the least losses possible.

If you do not have the Razorbacks +5 Range Custom, you can use Hellfires. Nothing else works on that laser really, The Flaks will kill your HS/Cobras/WH if you try to use them.

I use the Concussion Custom because it stuns the bunker. Again, nothing else works on the bunker, not without losses.

Also, please be careful with the difference between Strongholds and Bunkers. Strongholds are the ones on the corners, bunkers are the ones that are outside.

Good luck everyone, I hope this helps.

I'm stuck on wave 36. I'm level 26, have cobras lvl 8, no favs, at the moment just 1 HS lvl 1 (just unlocked), erf, elite razorbacks. I find it very very hard I don't think will pass it. Try again tomorrow with 2/3 HS lvl 2. Good hint that one to distract WM drones, I see it works with razorbacks too. But reading that also wave 40 is very hard no makes much sense to me follow on

its hard to pass the wave 40 specialy in my level....

James_Blackburn · 3 Sep 2013, 2:58AM

Hi, very simple and effective tactics, I've been struggling to finish this wave since yesterday. I'm still lvl 26 and this is my first event so I don't have the fancy toys (only has just purchased gats, e gats, and E rifleman, and saving for Hellstorm). With this being said, do you have back up plan in case the player do not have a HS? Can we replace the HS with other air/ground unit?

Much appreciated on your suggestion.

Cobras (level 10) can, to some extent, replace Hellstorms. The problem will be that you'll get a lot more repair time. for you, it'd be best to kill the WM as soon as possible.

Here's what you can do:

Bait the EGats with your cobras, then bring in a few tanks to kill them
Kill the exposed WidowMaker Factory. (Move the cobras a little to the left so that the Towers don't hit you, but be careful not to get hit by the MG.)
Kill the right side with your cobras (Level 10 Cobras outrange everything there)
Snipe the Stingers with 1 of your cobras, then quickly retreat before the drones get you.
Divide your cobras into 2 groups. (Each group having 10 cobras is good enough, but the more the merrier)
Move Group 1 in range of the Widowmaker drones. You will probably lose some cobras but the drones will die.
As soon as the drones die, move Group 1 a little closer, then order Group 2 to kill the WidowMaker. Make sure that Group 1 is in range of the WM, so that as soon as the drones spawn, they can be killed. (The drones spawn one by one)
Laugh at the spider while it gets pwned
Bait the Behemots and FAVs with a fast unit, like the Honey Badger. Keep your cobras ready to kill the baited units.
Use one platoon of Suicide Trucks to kill as much of the left side as possible. Sneak them through the gap at the left and target the Watchtower first. Then try to hit the other Watchtower.
Finish the defense off with a Platoon of Paladins. Spread them out as much as you can.

Good luck.

I'm sorry, but it's close to impossible to do without Level 10 Cobras.

HS is good enough for your first event, you'll do a lot better next event

I've just completed WAVE 36 so the guide to WAVE 40 would be much appreciated.

I have passed wave 40 and am currently writing a guide to that. It'll be up today

D3L7A · 3 Sep 2013, 2:22PM

I have edited the Original Post, added the guide to wave 40.

Good luck!

D3L7A · 3 Sep 2013, 5:57PM

Well good for you, but I cant imagine how much your Clicking Finger would hurt after repairing all those bloody buggies. I mean the **** Napalm eats them for lunch! Still, congratulations!

Everyone has Razorbacks btw, it's not an event unit.

GlasgowBilly said:

I don't have Razorbacks, HS, or HF so I used a different approach. I used Buggies instead.
1. Buggy spam the Flak Tanks.
2. Kill everything else with Cobras.
I just gave it a try and had success. I took out the Strongholds and a power plant without coming in to range of any of the other Flak Tanks. I'll repeat what I just did on the opposite side and take down the other power plant there. Low power and all 4 Strongholds gone means the rest should be pretty easy.
Tanks.

what are in the lv40 strongholds? any AA?

djenal05 · 4 Sep 2013, 8:51AM

I NEED KICK WAVE 84

This is the easiest way to do this with the least losses possible.

If you do not have the Razorbacks +5 Range Custom, you can use Hellfires. Nothing else works on that laser really, The Flaks will kill your HS/Cobras/WH if you try to use them.

I use the Concussion Custom because it stuns the bunker. Again, nothing else works on the bunker, not without losses.

Also, please be careful with the difference between Strongholds and Bunkers. Strongholds are the ones on the corners, bunkers are the ones that are outside.

Good luck everyone, I hope this helps.

The flak don't kill when you have LV 7+Hellstorms. I do no damage

Yes, but mid level players do not have level 7 Hellstorms. Mine are level 6 and they get outranged.

Nope, no AA but there are flaks and Gats in the walls, with stingers around.

James_Blackburn · 5 Sep 2013, 11:29AM

Just finished it the way you suggested. Many thanks, man!
On the way to Hellstorm now, just need one more wave.
