![]() You’ll always be outnumbered, sometimes heavily so, and picking apart these collages of gunfire is tough work. They’ll prioritise this over taking low percentage shots and set up overlapping lines of fire. ![]() Mind you, overwatch is a function of the game and boy do the Locust like to overwatch. ![]() Melee attacks are particularly powerful and the bayonet charge and gun-mounted chainsaw attacks are usually one-shot kills. This means that the game rewards you for closing in with the enemy, for being aggressive, and the game has a much more dynamic feel than the overwatch-heavy games of XCOM. When you execute a bad guy, all the other members of the squad get an extra action. These executions aren’t just gory eye-candy they serve a key tactical function. If a target is reduced to a low number of HP, then they will be “down” and can be finished off, Gears-style, with a brutally graphic execution animation. Hits from weapons will reduce the hit points of the target, though most out-of-the-box weapons will need a few shots to put down even the average Locust grunt thankfully the melee-centric Wretches can be cut down by just one good shot. Shooting is fairly simple too: you can cycle through targets with the shoulder buttons and the chance to hit shows up over each target, though once again you’re at the mercy of the RNG gods and will miss the occasional high percentage shot.
