You can at least stamp on their heads.ĭespite being underground rather than on the surface, then, there are still plenty of ways to wreak massive damage on the infested environment, and damage is often wrought at greater speed because of your increased firepower.Īt one stage Darius jumps in a Red Faction exoskeleton - an agile, fast-moving mech with rapid-fire railgun, lock-on heat-seeking missiles and fierce melee skills, and he busts through buildings and rock formations like he's wading through plastic ducks in a paddling pool. Creepers are early contenders for most annoying - they scuttle along, overwhelm you with speed and numbers, and whenever they're not scratching at your shins they're spitting acid on you. This is just as well, because there are lots of aliens and they have different tactics. As with Guerrilla, it's easy to combine the effects of multiple weapons - like freezing a quill-firing Ravager alien with stasis and then black-holing it to death. That'll teach you for being an alien, alien.

If you prefer the direct approach there's the Singularity Cannon, which creates a miniature black hole that sucks up everything around it, breaks it down into nanites and spits it out in colourful chunks and particles. You could melee them, shoot them with a rifle, simply leg it to get away, or perhaps use the magnet gun to throw something at them. Another new nanoforge ability produces a shockwave that traps enemies in stasis in midair, allowing you to do what you want with them. It's not the only new technology developed by the people of Mars since the end of Guerrilla, either.
