Learn the core mechanics of Fieldrunners 2, from placing towers to managing cash and understanding different game modes like Survival, Time Trial, Puzzle, and Sudden Death.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Place towers to stop enemy units from reaching the exit(s).

    Enemy units ('Fieldrunners') come in waves from set areas and follow a predetermined path.

    Use cash earned from kills to buy new towers or upgrade existing ones.
  4. 4
    Towers have various methods of attack, each with advantages and disadvantages.

    Towers can be bought, sold, and upgraded.
  6. 6
    Manage the game's pace by pausing or using the fast-forward button.
  7. 7
    Beat maps on harder difficulties ('Causal', 'Tough', 'Heroic') to earn up to three stars per map.
  8. 8
    More stars unlock more towers. More kills earn more coins for unique towers or single-use items.
Tips
  • Knowing when to buy new towers and when to upgrade is key to earning 3-stars on every map.
  • In Survival mode, the objective is to let no more than a specified number of enemies (usually 20, but sometimes as low as 3) reach the exit.
  • Survival mode can transition into 'Endless' mode, where enemies continuously spawn with increasing health.
  • In Endless mode, having items ready is essential for high scores and survival.
  • Time Trial maps require killing a set number of Fieldrunners before a timer runs out. Use fast-forward speed on Heroic difficulty to speed up Fieldrunner generation and movement.
  • Puzzle maps require killing a predetermined number of enemies with a specific set of towers and/or items, often requiring out-of-the-box thinking.
  • Sudden Death mode requires holding off a set number of enemies running kamikaze-style to the exit. The 'Rewind' item cannot be used, but pausing is allowed and essential for upgrading multiple towers.
  • In Sudden Death, pause every few seconds to utilize earned money for upgrades.
  • Airstrikes are essential in Sudden Death for earning a substantial number of kills if timed correctly.
