Mr 4T7 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I have done the Arctic and Desert on Hardcore sofar and I am finding Shadow Storm and Heavy Duty is the best char combo yet. Anyone have any better combos they think work better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleezy M F E Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I've been using Ripcord because his turrets are incredible for staying in cover, also Agent Helix's shield can be very effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOTswaggers Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Ripcord and GungHo if there are Soldier doors, Scarlett and GungHo for Commando. I find Scarlett's homing arrows to be very effective at clearing enemies in a pinch but her health is too low to make her my #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrapdaddy Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I've pretty much used Baroness and Heavy Duty, with Baroness as my #1. Maybe it's all in my head but she seems faster than everyone else and her alternate attack is also fast and does decent damage immediately since it's just a single shot (vs say heavy duty where its a couple of concentrated blasts). The only time I've switched this team up is when I had to fight serpent viper armor, then I'd swap Heavy Duty with Backblast since his regular mortar attack is kinda like an AOE attack and it hits them in the back without having to roll behind them first. I'll park Baroness behind cover as P1, then let the comp P2 stand there and launch mortars while getting shot in the face. He can't die if you arent playing him and usually takes them down in a couple of shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOPho3nix Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 My 2 cents are for Heady Duty and BackBlast. Especially Back Blast, the dude is a beast. Once you are close enough to an enemy his gun doesnt lob anymore, and it knocks everyone nearby down. So even for like the yellow robot dudes you just get up close and shoot 3-4 times and they are dead. So far I am only halfway through the Jungle but this has worked so far. Just beat the Firefly fight without ever having to switch characters or even getting touched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arctic and Desert were cake using this combo, although I havent done the Jungle or Tundra missions yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleezy M F E Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I've been using a Ripcord / Backblast combo and it's been meatsack, I can't believe no one else is pimping Ripcord when you can have the turrets do all the work. Throw turret Hide around corner Get kills Yooooooooooooooo Joe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throw turret Hide around corner Get kills Yooooooooooooooo Joe! Ripcord is definitely key with all of those Bats. Does Backblast's weapon make the enemies fall over like Gung-Ho? That is the main reason I have been using Gung-Ho because it buys you some time. Off-topic question: I went a man down on Hardcore and then finished the level. I was still able to get the GI Joe rating. My question is, does the game penalize you points-wise if you do go man down on Hardcore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

braceyoself Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I'm using Ripcord and BackBlast. Pretty efficient. Especially now that I found out that I can switch back and forth between both characters using the R1 button. Hahaha. I should have read the manual.

nightmare452 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I would say Backblast as the main guy, he is too powerful once in close range. What takes minutes to kill takes seconds with him if used right. Others, I would say either Snake Eyes (his slash attack has great power and range), Heavy Duty (for just raining down direct fire), Agent Helix (her shield has saved me numerous times) or Destro (has a direct rocket launcher, not as powerful as Backblast's, but strong still). Ripcord is ok, but I never used his turret much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussiestatic Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Ripcord and Gung Ho. I did every single mission using these two. (playes as ripcord tho) Ripcord is by far the best charcater b ecause his special attack deploys a small drone on the floor which draws enemy fire allowing you to flank/have free shots at the enemy. Gungho will shoot grenades and will knock down the enemy for you and is very effective against turrets and non moving targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxictaz Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 i kinda think heavy and the red laser guy. cant remember name at the moment. im just struggling getting the GI joe rank on the first lvl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the tip on Gung-Ho, I was using Ripcord and Backblast the whole game until the last level and just couldnt get passed it, until I read this and switched to Gung-Ho. Got through the rest of the game first try after this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuppernicus Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 i kinda think heavy and the red laser guy. cant remember name at the moment. im just struggling getting the GI joe rank on the first lvl. Dont bother with the first level, just get GIJoe rank on the rest and you'll have enough points. I used classic Scarlet and a heavy guy, usually Heavy Duty until I unlocked Backblast. Fun game despite its flaws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M85A21 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Baroness and Backblast. Baroness is way easier for clearing groups with her specials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I didnt realize how much damage she deals until I played with her today. Holy sh*t she will clear the fu*king room with her special Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letum Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 I'm going to have to agree with BOPho3nix, Heavy Duty and Backblast seem to be the best combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that I have completed the game and have all the character I'm going to have to change my idea on the best combo. The best combo by far is Baroness and Heavy Duty. I haven't come up against anything she can't kill in short order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
