…with New hotfix - Cannot destroy FNIX Base look Video
The video only shows the last 10 minutes. Before that I tried to destroy the FNIX base for about 20 minutes. I’ve shot down about 25 rockets by then. Sometimes they just fly through without exploding.
I have never needed so many missiles to finish an FNIX base .
…that’s not normal…
You are shooting on the red shielding of the FNIX Command Center. You can only damage it when the shielding is off. To get it off you need to destroy the little red generators first. If you have the generators destroyed, wait for it to power down the shield (it turns black), then shoot the rocket. When shot its shield will power up again. Just wait for them to power down. Repeat until it explodes.
can you see on liitle red generator ? All down.
this isn’t the first FNIX base I’ve conquered.
They are all conquered on the same principle.
First the small ones, then the big generator. So far it has always worked like this, except for this one… from an old save file.
There are no problems with a new save file. These are only available if I want to continue an old game in order to be able to continue playing my high level. Unfortunately it doesn’t work…
Sorry, I was wrong to advise you that you can only damage the FNIX Command center when the red shielding is off. Madchaser could have warned me about my mistake… Yes try the other weapon, that will work against the red shields.
Well, yeah. For the first stage, I meant. The second stage it does indeed go up in periods when it’s been hit, then calls down a bombardment, or reinforcements.
When I attack the control tower I have to wait for the tower to power down to do ANY damage. As soon as it gets hit with anything it powers back up and turns red. You can hear it power down and can hear it power up and at the same time it turns red. It is just like attacking a reaper. But the tower stays powered up as long as it is being attacked. If there is a pause in the attacks it will power down. Since it is the same when you attack the reaper, it makes sense that it functions in the same manner.
In the first video you can clearly see the OP attacking the tower when it is powered up and lite up red.
Keep in mind, if the fnix command center spawns machines instead of a bombardement, you have to destroy at least one of these machines, otherwise the command center won’t deactivate the shields again.
If you go to a safehouse inbetween a base assault, the assault will be reset. I just don’t know if the hp of the command center will be reset, too.
Obviously in your case this base assault is / was bugged: do you see this not fully opened tooltip/promt in the upper left? There normally is the health bar of the command center and a promt/tooltip with the mission info or which promts you to get back to the mission location within a specific amount of time.
…okay 2nd try and the FNIX base is down.
Was a hard piece of work. A lot of machines in this fight, I think at least 50 in this base.
I don’t think I will continue to play the old save file, there are now 15 full levej bases on the map. I couldn’t destroy any before the fix. Now there are too many on full level.
Better continue playing with the new save data
