Useful Tips for Evacuation Day
The strength and amount of enemies spawned, as well as the duration you must survive, depend on the value of your shipment that you send back to the main base, not including your character’s inventory!
This means you can take your bigger items in your own inventory when setting up the item for extraction day (click on Field Storage -> this switches the right inventory to your own character, and then you can swap/move stuff into it). Of course, you should not die on the day, but it significantly reduces the timer.
Of course, if you have buffs active that grant you additional items/money based on your shipment, you obviously wouldn’t want to do that.
This strategy helps me “cheese” Snow 1 or Woodlands 3 with only one 30mm Turret and four Machine Gun Turrets. I’m going to abuse this for tackling harder missions than I should.
Hope it helps!
I think it’s also worth using a xen called mighty strike 1. Since it causes the first hit in max hp to always be a crit
And the vents count as a separate hp on hits
I’ve managed to get a good heavy xen morph build where I can oneshot the vents and kill Kronos in roughly 30 sec
