10 Easy Way to kill AirDrop Enemies

The best way to get rid of enemies in Gear Tactics is by making the first move. The Airdrop enemies will only shoot when they will get to their shooting positions and the same goes for the enemies who fight from the land. The Reavers attack from the air can be tackled in a very easy way, you just need to know when to attack.

The Reavers fight when they get to their most favorable positions and only then do they shoot their shot. Shooting them without giving them the chance to change their position is the best way to kill those enemies. Also, don’t forget they know when you change your sides!

9 Opening Chests

In Gear Tactics, players find many chests in every level of the game and the players need action point to move and open the chest, but that’s not entirely true. For opening chests, the gamer doesn’t always need Action points.

Here is a very simple step by which you can open as many chests you find without spending your Action points in it. All the players have to do it put the cursor over the chest and when it turns to an arrow, click on it!

8 Performance Bugs

Gear Tactics also have some performance bugs and errors which can be used against the enemies to win. The Async Compute, due to some defaults, does not provide any improvement in the character performance, so the player saves time and moves forward to something that may benefit the gameplay.

Also, the different Rate Shading performance level reduces when they are used on wires which are covered by fog and dust, giving you the idea of using the right weapon at the right place.

7 Soldier classes

With the help of soldier classes in Gear Tactics, the player gets different skillsets and weapon advantages on their sides that can help the team to win in every situation. Each soldier consists of their primary and secondary weapons and skills.

Adding base classes and extra specializations will help the team gain access of every skill set that is available in the game. One must choose wisely which skills and additional weapons go with it since it can affect the team powercut in many different ways.

6 Mission Extraction

The game/mission extractions are important at the beginning of the game, but there is one mod that lets you skip that part. The things that matter in Gear Tactics are the base goal and achievements.

In some game modes, the player has to gather supplies from two different zones, as soon as the player finishes gathering the supplements, the game ends there. The player won’t need to go back to their vehicles to complete the mission, hence there is no need of extracting the mission at the end.

5 Killing Locusts

In the game, there is no need to go hard on locusts anymore. The locusts kill the enemies with their sharp shots which makes it hard to kill sometimes. But here is the easiest way to kill them without wasting much ammo. Gear Tactics allow few skillsets to push the locusts in an emergence hole, making it an instant way to kill them.

Other methods include using a grenade to knock them out, eventually killing them with its blast, but pushing them into a hole is more convenient and easy.

4 Overwatch

In games like Gear Tactics, the most commonly used mechanism is overwatch. Killing enemies on the spot might seem like a fun idea but overwatch increases the chances of winning the game. To maximize the shooting range and kill as many enemies as you can in one go, overwatch is surely something worth thinking about.

Positioning all the primary and secondary weapons in a triangle-shaped area, and capturing the enemies at the target spot will eventually increase your kill rate and overall performance of the game. Meanwhile, you can also create tarps and kill boxes to trap and kill locust quickly when you have the time.

3 Increase Action Points

Gear Tactics is one of the most aggressively designed and exciting games of all time. The main aim while playing Gear Tactics is to increase the Action points. They can be used to improve the character’s skillset, weapon set, and also many different in-game upgrades. At the beginning of the game, every player receives a set of 3 Action points.

The best way to upgrade the Action points of the character is just by playing games. Finding hidden chests might work as well but Action is the main source of getting points in Gear Tactics, which can be further used in different upgrades.

2 Reviving a Downed Character

If the squad gets hurt, then it’s important to quickly revive them before locusts decide to kill them instantly. However, here is something every player needs to know about reviving a downed character. This is a way to instantly get Action points and the player gets three points in return for saving their life.

It’s an in-game feature that is still not known by many users. Meanwhile, self reviving only gives the player one action point, so it’s better to help each other players out and earn Action points at the same time.

1 Ironman Campaign

Gear Tactics is said to be an easier game comparing to other adventure games like Xcom. In the Ironman Mode, the one thing a player needs to know is that the death of the main character is declared as an end to the campaign.

For making sure that the gameplay will continue for a long time, the players need to protect the main character and kill the enemies at the same time. The death also results in the automatic deletion of your saved file. For winning the Ironman Campaign, the player needs to replace the dead characters after completion of each mission and using them as the protector of the Hero.
