Complete walkthrough for Part 12 of Gears Tactics, covering the Nightfall Overview and Tick Tick Boom missions. Includes enemy info and strategies.
Walkthrough
- 1Nightfall Overview (A21): Your objective is to reach the Stranded Outpost to acquire a Junker. You'll drive this vehicle for one chapter. Be aware of new enemies: Boomers (large Locusts with Boomshots and high health) and Kryll (invincible enemies that attack in darkness). Always stay in the light to avoid Kryll. Shoot propane tanks to progress.
- 2Tick Tick Boom (A22): As Marcus, start by hopping over a low wall. At the first corner, grab the shotgun next to a dead body. Anya informs you the Hammer of Dawn is offline.
- 3Splitting Up: Marcus will suggest splitting the group. Both the left and right paths converge later, so choose either.
- 4Left Path: Head forward until you see an opening on the left. Inside a closet are grenades. After a cutscene, you'll fight a Boomer. Use grenades and a shotgun, or cover and a Lancer. After defeating the Boomers, proceed through the hole they made. Continue down the hallway until you see a Corpser (which you don't fight yet). Take the path to the left of the Emergence Hole into a large room with low walls. The exit hallway is straight ahead. A Locust will open a door; eliminate it and proceed. In the next room with rusted shelves, find grenades behind one if needed. Continue through the next door. In the alley, an ammo box is to the right, and the fight begins to the left. Take cover behind the first small wall. Aim your Lancer at the large hole in the wall to the north and eliminate the sniper that appears. Then, focus on the enemies outside, using the Lancer for distance and the shotgun for close encounters. Assist your allies across the fence if they struggle.
- 5Inside the Building (Left Path): Once inside, head right. Two Wretches are present; use the shotgun on the one that approaches. Take cover and shoot, or use the shotgun on Casual difficulty.
- 6Right Path: Roadie run down the long alley. Head up the broken cement structure around the corner. A falling pillar will trigger a checkpoint. Climb over it and up the stairs. Watch the cutscene and defeat the Boomers using grenades and your Lancer.
- 7Afterwards (Both Paths Meet): After defeating the Boomers, the left and right paths merge.
