• Mission 9

This mission puts you up against a new type of enemy, the Walking Arms or Hectors, as they are often called. These powerful mobile weapon platforms can be outfitted with a variety of oversized attachments on each arm to adapt to their enemies. The Walking Arms will start out at a decent distance from the shore, but will be constantly moving in and raining down destruction on the group of troops gathered there.

To make matters worse, a huge group of gunships will need to be taken care of as well. The thing to note about Walking Arms is that their height makes them very unstable and rapid firing weapons can easily throw off their aim. As a result, closing the distance with an assault rifle, preferably an RA model, is fairly easy. This will also cut down on incoming damage by a huge amount while allowing your supporting troops to dish out a large amount of punishment.

As for the gunships, there are two viable methods for taking them out while focusing on the more dangerous Walking Arms. The first is to use a missile launcher with a fast missile (MLRAs or Emeralds work well) and fire off a couple shots at the swarm of Gunships while focusing on the Walking Arms. This will let you take them out every time you get a spare moment and cut down on the amount of enemies firing upon your troops.

The other method is to use groups of sentry guns, preferably fast firing ones such as the ZERA. This will let you concentrate on the Walking Arms while the guns take on the Gunships.
