Vanquish - Tactical Challenge 6 -  

Heey congrats man, well done, that's no easy feat! Yeah the red Bogey is the most dangerous one because his sniper shots take you out really fast, eventhough it's tempting to kill the blue first because it drops Rockets. The Bogey's in round 5 are pretty tough in general. Their AI is set to ''God Hard'' difficulty but luckily their HP is only like Normal. Cool to hear you pushed through and learned some of the speedrun strategies to reach round 5 faster and more consistently. Good stuff and thanks for your message! 🙏

Tnx, appreciate it !

Difficult to say exactly but in total I def spent as much time playing challenge 6 as all the others combined. Had some experience from the original release and didn't start out using speedrun strategies on the PS4 version initially. But when I eventually got round 1/4 down pretty consistently using these strats, I still wasn't proficient enough at fighting the Bogey's in round 5 to take them down efficiently. Probably was doing 7 to 9 minute runs at that point but reaching round 5 still had my nerves kicking in, so I started practicing against the Bogey's in the campaign. Practiced shotgun knockdown loop and learned to become more of a predator against them. That got me into the 4/5 minute range and shortly after that I did this sub 4 minute run. Big part of this challenge in general is mentally trying to keep calm in round 5 haha. I still like fighting the Bogey's a couple of times before attempting a speedrun to take the edge off, and always recommend it to people struggling with their first time. ✌

@@ZikosRealm Well, hats off to you pal! That was a hell of a show. Keep rocking!

@@Laurokenshin Cool, thanks man, appreciate that. 🙏

Thanks ! Got really intense near the end. 😰

Thanks man, you got this ! The start of wave 4 is almost trivialized once you get the EMP throw timing down but it's total chaos when it goes wong. 😆

@@ZikosRealm so true lol. I'll get there in the end 😆

@@ZikosRealm roughly how many seconds do you want before you throw the emp on stage 4?

@@i-c-dead-ppi4223 I'm not talking seconds but when the text announcing round 4 pops up, you can try to start counting from 1 and throw on 3, and find a consistent tempo or rhythm that works for you. Over time I developed more of a feeling for the timing and muscle memory because I always destroy the last Romanov from round 3 in the exact same spot and then move along the same route in the same fashion as you can see in this video. Let me know if it doesn't work for you or if you have any other questions. ✌

@@ZikosRealm thank you mate. Definitely picked up a few tricks from your video.

Yeah tnx man. Was a wild run! ✌

@@ZikosRealm I can't beat challenge 6 at all meanwhile random player speedruns it in less than 4 minutes

Yeah it's a difficult challenge even for experienced players but you can definitely do it man. I struggled too trying to beat it for the first time but that was way back in 2010.😅 I played challenge 6 a lot and it's still pretty intense for me haha. @@snzsentenzaxd
