robertluke1 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 @Optinooby I've been struggling with the second half of Mercenaries for 2 months now. These guides were amazing and made me blow through the last 4 in a week. Thanks for putting the effort into the guides and for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix_shade Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Just wanted to say thanks to the OP. For me this was nearly a platinum breaker, but you were instrumental in helping me achieve it. I did improvise on some of the strategies and Castle 2 nearly broke me, but I managed in the end! Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlelostkiwi Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 TC, your guides are legendary. They are well made, with excellent commentary. I also can't believe how much you were robbed in that last fight, with the last enemy glitching out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esstee11 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Great work ☺️ Thanks for helping me through the mercs levels that I got a little stuck on! Your great vids were very much appreciated! Plat achieved ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeman223 Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Would anyone believe me if I said I encountered a glitch (Castle 2 Stage 4) where enemies stopped attacking me? No idea how that happened. It was actually a little annoying because I was trying to bank my S Rank by letting them defeat me. Bet it'll never happen again.

PSwifty95 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Just used these guides and did every mission first time and got the platinum. Thanks bro you are amazing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick6146 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 thank you for guide. they are immensely helpful, especially the Castle/Castle 2 illustration. Stuck in Factory/Factory 2 for the longest time because the combo got lost easily when I went for the 1st two blue orbs.. And there are just too many magnum trick shots..

raphi_boss67 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Thank you so much for your help. Your videos are perfect to learn every ennemi locations and the way we have to kill them without losing combo. I managed to get all S ranks in 4/5 hours. It is not as hard as it sounds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxSuikodeNxx Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Lifesaver, I thought this was a plat blocker - the first 4 stages with the shotgun were pretty fun but I had no hope on village 2. After watching these vids, it’s just a matter of knowing the spawn points and manipulating enemies to keep the combo as high as possible - did mad village 2 first try. village of shadows run now for plat! Boom! Thanks OP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptHowdy_84 Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 I already said thank you on your YouTube videos, but you definitely deserve another big thanks in this forum. Your explanations + blue orbs make the S on mercenary mode achievable with some effort but absolutely doable 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetsuo Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Old post, but I have to say THANKS!!!, the way you made this videos and how you take the time to explain why you are doing everything help me to go from barely getting A to get SSS, the trophy and even the lightsaber. Thanks again and you have gained a new suscriber ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAZDAN Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 These are amazing! Decided to start with mercenaries as I bought the all access voucher on sale and wanted to knock these out before the campaign. These are really helping, already a couple of levels down within an hour. The fact you pause and explain what’s going on is excellent, maybe getting combo king a breeze! Thank you!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optinooby Posted November 5, 2022 Author Share Posted November 5, 2022 (edited) I'll be adding SSS rank guides for all new characters over the coming weeks. Just some finding for now in terms of modifiers and such. CHRIS. I've not played with others yet, just Chris and I did some testing with his abilities. Onslaught increases Fists damage by 150% (400 to 1000 straight punch). Onslaught increase Firearm damage by 75% (210 to 367 body shot). Onslaught increases Hand Grenade damage by 150% (2500 to 6250). Onslaught increase Target Locator damage by 150% (13000 to 32500). Straight Punch increases the most if you use it to finish enemies, about 25% to onslaught gauge. Though if you have the Straight Punch perk from the shop, you get about 35% per kill. The Cross Punch perk seems to increase the gain more than with the straight for basic attacks, though it's still no way near the massive default straight punch gain on kills. Way to go so far with Chris is to use only the Pistol and Straight Punch. Sell everything else, buy the Straight Punch perk then work on upgrading damage for these. Then you just use Straight Punch to gain onslaught, then rip enemies to shreds with your pistol while it is active. After max upgarding the Straight Punch, you can one hit kill the general mobs, so you can easily go: Straight Punch > Straight Punch > Straight Punch > Onslaught (use Pistol) > Straight Punch > Straight Punch > Straight Punch > Onslaught > Etc Would have been nice to use the Rifle, but ammo runs dry mega fast, whereas the Pistol swims in it!! I may work out similar numbers for the others when I get to them, will see how I go. Chris already is much easier than Ethan due to Onslaught alone!!

lerodemmy Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Here we have a perfect combo on The Bloody Village II with Ethan, without the benefit of using blue ability orbs. Here’s my Mercenaries playlist, with a number of Hard stage world records and other no-blue-orb perfect combos: Yes, I stole obtinooby’s picture of a blue orb with a red line going through it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody else mad enough to play without Blue Orbs xD. I've been playing the new maps, but I really can't be bothered with no blue orbs again!! Great score on BR2, I've only managed 2,46 with Chris and don't really fancy pushing for more! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
