Learn how to assault Thor's Hammer base in Against the Storm. This guide covers enemy tactics, weapon recommendations, and strategies for overcoming robotic soldiers and blast doors.
The main thing to note when approaching the base here is that all the guys are crack shots with sniper rifles--if you let them get a shot off, you will be critically hit. The best thing to do, if not in PKs, is to use silenced rifles of your own at long range, to pick them off so they can't respond. If in PKs, they will bite you to bits with their high-penetration rifles, unless you have sniper PKs of your own.
I was able to take out all the infantry and PKs with SVT-40s at long range; granted, I had 2 snipers.
Zone into the base for part 2.
Once you get in, you can switch to stealth mode if you like (if you aren't in PKs), taking out people with silent weapons. If you are in PKs, make sure to take out the laser guys and the bazooka guys first.
The hard part of the mission comes when you get to the blast door at the end of the hallway. There is a control panel on the right side of it that you use to open the door. A cutscene ensues, and then you must fight a bunch of robotic soldiers who have about twice the HP of your standard PK and are armed with heavy MGs, and of course they are at fairly close range. Rifles are of no use here; they cannot hurt these things. You must use high-penetration grenades and rockets or beam weapons.
Run back through the blast door that you came in, and then peek out, take a shot or throw a grenade, then get back inside. The best things for this are the high-penetration PK rifles, PWM-1s, and armor-piercing rockets. You can also harvest a beam weapon from one of the guards earlier in the level.
Killing all 3 will make another appear. Once that one is down, the way is clear. Go into the open hangar and into the room next to it, then up the stairs.
Yay, you win.
