Tactics | ===Tactics=== | ||
The first thing to realize is that there is vast gulf in difficulty between game played using a conventional controller with a laser sight and using the Wii controller with a reticle. If you're playing on the Wii our only advice is to use the pistol and try not to get too bored. | |||
For Gamecube and Playstation players this can be a challenge and you really earn the rewards you get. For choice of weapons pick Sniping since that's pretty much what you'll be doing. With one exception, the best weapon to start with for all games is the handgun for its ability to target quickly and its relatively steady aim. The rifle has a steadier aim but it's slow, so getting multiple targets in the few seconds you have is difficult. The TMP is quick to aim but your aim will be too unsteady to reliably hit a target at a distance. The shotgun is serviceable for the earlier games, but there is too much chance of hitting Ashley when she appears. | |||
So the handgun is what you want to use most of the time, but for Salazar you really need to switch to the rifle since the target is so small and far away. Remember that the only way to win without getting Salazar is by getting 25 consecutive headshots and that seems unlikely. | |||
When you're aiming for villagers, try to get headshots when they're easy, but the main thing is to get consecutive hits so Salazar will appear. So for moving targets, targets in the distance, and in situations where you don't have much time to aim, just go for center of mass. If Salazar appears when there are only one or two villagers left then get the villagers first since the game doesn't start the next set of targets until Salazar is gone. When you do go for Salazar, quickly switch to the rifle, aim, fire and switch back. Occasionally in the later games there may be cases where a villager pops up in the distance just after you shoot at Salazar, in which case just keep the rifle a bit longer. Be remember that the rifle does poorly with moving or multiple targets. | |||
The best place to stand is about halfway between the center aisle of targets and one of the side aisles. That way you usually get a clear shot when the game puts an Ashley in front of a villager. It also means that there are two aisles where the target might as well be standing still if they're moving up and down them. | |||
The game gives you a reload period in the middle of each game. Use it to reload the handgun since the rifle has plenty of rounds for what you're using it for. | |||
Always go for the rare bottle cap first. For that you just have to hit all 25 villagers, no headshots or Salazars needed. The idea is to do it in the easy setup when it's much easier. If you find you're getting the hard setup before getting the rare for that game then just reload from your last save. Five normal bottlecaps won't be much good if the bonus is too hard to get, and you can't go back to the easy setup without reloading from a previous save. | |||
Game D is a bit special so you need to adapt a bit. In the easy setup there are several times when a villagers is between Ashley. The aiming is tricky enough so that you should forget the advice above and use the rifle. Still use the handgun for most targets though. For the hard setup all the aiming is always tricky so you're better off just using the rifle all the time. This is the only time you should use the reload time to reload the rifle. | |||
