Part 44

Detailed walkthrough for Part 44 of Unreal Tournament, covering map control, item locations, and strategies for DM-SHRAPNEL and Tempest maps.

This guide covers parts of the Unreal Tournament walkthrough, focusing on two maps: Tempest and DM-SHRAPNEL. It details item locations, map control strategies, and tips for effective gameplay.

Map: Tempest

Item Locations:

• Slime Gun and Shock Ammo: Located in the corner room with the lift.
• Body Armour: In the corner room with the lift and the ripper.
• Shield-belt: On a high ledge in the dimly lit room with ramps.
• UDamage: On a ceiling beam in the ramp room, above the shock rifle.
• Jump Boots: In the alcove under the flak cannon and sniper rifle.

Controlling the Map:

• Prioritize using the Shock Rifle, especially since Tempest has two.
• Stay in elevated positions to utilize the z-axis and mobility bonus from Jump Boots.
• Collect vials frequently to maintain health.
• The area around the minigun is a good hub, offering weapons, armor, health, ammo, and escape routes via lifts.
• Use specific jumps to reach the sniper rifle and rocket-launcher more quickly.
• Monitor the shield-belt and time its respawn. The belt room can be a camping spot, but beware of hammer-jumping enemies.
• Avoid the central ramp room for extended combat due to multiple entrances.

Miscellaneous Tips:

• Bots can hammer to the belt and UDamage; pressure them if they are vulnerable.
• The rocket-launcher is in an outer corner of the lower level of the shield-belt room.
• Use alt-hammer and boots to jump through the ceiling hole above the sniper rifle for an escape route, especially useful in Last Man Standing (LMS) games.
• An alt-hammer-boot-jump can also reach the minigun ledge from the lift room floor.

Map: DM-SHRAPNEL

Overview:

DM-SHRAPNEL, originally a burnt-out factory, is nicknamed for its hazardous environment. It's considered a significant bottleneck in the DM ladder.

• Frag Limit: 25
• Opponents: 5
• Best Weapon: Shock Rifle

Powerups / Armour:

• Shield-belt: On an overhead platform in the room with diagonal beams.
• UDamage: On the wing-shaped bridge.

Controlling the Map:

• Camping and spamming are recommended strategies due to the map's difficulty for fair combat.
• Control the shield-belt; time its 54-second respawn.
• The best camping spot is near the shock rifle, which is far from the belt.
• Learn the fastest route between the belt and the shock rifle (via the high corridor).
• A recommended route: from the belt, take the back-right corridor, collect vials on the beam, pass the flak cannon, and drop to the shock rifle via a small lift, collecting ammo packs.
• In the shock rifle area, collect thigh pads and health packs. Spam the doorway to defend against bots.
• Health packs and vials can act as bait for bots.
• Retrace steps to collect respawned vials and health packs.
• This strategy helps control both armor spawns.
• The UDamage is in the central room with the big ramp.
• The pulse rifle is mentioned but its location is not detailed.
