Erik Twice Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I can now reliably reach the last stage of the game but I've yet to successfully capture a Praetor to jump into the final mission. How do you do it? Giving three or four guys an Assault Shield and rushing in with shock batons doesn't seem like a bad strategy but there must be a better way. Can you stun it with Electroshock grenades? It also seems that it would be better to target a base or a Battleship than a Carrier. Going through three different floors of mind control seems difficult. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Caine Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I captured my Praetor in a base. I found it much easier that way. Electroshock grenades were my thing - the mind control code for some reason won't have your troopers throw grenades, so I went full on grenadiers (which is a totes viable strat, and super fun when you get it rigt!).

Gurbo Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Maybe they only use the weapons they have equiped. Do they throw them if they have them equipped in their hands instead of on the belt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silencer Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Strangely when I was in alien base, the preator wouldn't do a thing. Even if I let my soldiers in the open, he waited only for reaction fire. I've just "abused" that and hid one soldier under heavy cover and he was the first one to throw electroshock grenade. Also you can first weaken him by landing few normal shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Twice Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 If electroshock grenades work then it should be easy to equip four or five guys with them and jump into the command room with them. Next time I get to endgame I'll try that, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Caine Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 If you want to go true grenadier, carry a pistol. You get the reaction modifier bonus as well as slingin' grenades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
