Command & Conquer Remastered Collection: Cloak and Dagger Guide

AntMag.NET

Alright, let's dive into Nod Mission 5, 'Cloak and Dagger.' This one's a bit tricky, focusing on stealth and a bit of a risky play early on. We need to get in, grab our Mobile Construction Vehicle (MCV), and then carefully establish a base before things get hairy.

Walkthrough

1
You'll start with your stealth tank. Your first job is to scout out the map and find the north entrance to the GDI base. Take your time moving around, using the stealth tank's ability to stay hidden.
2
Once you locate the MCV inside the base, you need to get to it. The tricky part is an AGT (Anti-Ground Turret) that's guarding the area. You'll need to sacrifice your stealth tank here. Position it carefully so you can attack the AGT. It's a one-way trip for the tank, but it's necessary.
3
As soon as the AGT is down, quickly deploy your MCV in the small north-east corner you've just cleared. You'll have very little room to build because of other AGTs nearby.
4
Immediately after deploying, you'll need to build a Power Plant and a Hand (Refinery). The AGT will likely attack your MCV and construction site. Keep repairing the MCV constantly. You'll have just enough time to get these structures up and then sell the construction site before it's destroyed.
5
With your base somewhat established, use engineers to carefully capture the GDI power plants.
6
Next, you need to capture the GDI construction site. Once you have it, use a group of bazooka units to take out the guard towers and any tanks in the vicinity.
7
After securing the construction site, capture the GDI weapon factory. Use your bazooka units again to destroy the guard tower that's firing on it.
8
Now, it's crucial to block off the northern entrance to your base and the path near the two Mammoth tanks.
9
Build two tanks and use them to destroy any remaining guard towers. Remember, don't destroy any AGTs or silos yet – we'll need them later.
10
Use your bazooka units to destroy the Advanced Communications Center. Your tanks should handle the Humvee and the tank that will come to attack.
11
Build two Refineries to boost your income.
12
Once your economy is a bit stronger, build some more tanks.
13
Take out the group of GDI units waiting south of your base.
14
Now, move your tanks to the small GDI base located in the middle of the map. Attack their towers and capture their last power plant.
15
With the GDI base weakened and their power under your control, you can now safely destroy the remaining AGTs on the map.

Tips

Sacrificing the stealth tank early is a critical step. Make sure you position it to take out the AGT efficiently.
Repairing the MCV constantly after deployment is key to surviving the initial assault.
Don't rush to destroy all AGTs and silos; they can be useful later for defense or strategic positioning.
Capturing GDI structures with engineers is essential for gaining an advantage and controlling the map.
