Oil Drop

Learn the best strategies to achieve three stars in Dishonored's Oil Drop challenge. Master positioning, tank prioritization, and efficient reloading to survive the waves.

Alright, so you've stumbled upon the Oil Drop challenge in Dishonored's Dunwall City Trials. It sounds simple enough – shoot some oil tanks, right? But getting those three stars can be a real pain if you don't know the tricks. Don't worry, I've got your back. There are a couple of ways to approach this: you can try to be a sharpshooter and blast every single tank that pops out, or you can focus on surviving and only taking out the ones that get too close. Honestly, the survival strategy is way better, especially when those later waves start throwing multiple tanks at you. Trust me on this.

When the challenge kicks off, you'll be facing the train tracks. Your best bet for survival is to head straight to the bottom left corner. It's a sweet spot where you're less likely to get hammered by those exploding barrels.

Keep your eyes peeled for two special types of tanks: the pinkish ones are your health packs, so definitely grab those if you're hurting. The golden ones are even better – they temporarily slow down time, giving you a much-needed breather and making it easier to line up your shots.

The early rounds are pretty chill, usually just one tank at a time. But don't get too comfortable, because they'll start sending more your way as the round progresses. Later rounds? You'll be dealing with multiple tanks bursting out of the train car all at once. Remember, your pistol only holds four rounds before it needs a reload, but you can manually reload whenever you need to. Even with the survival strategy, you still need to make every shot count. Prioritizing those golden tanks to slow down time is key to managing the chaos.
