Wrath of the Machine: Difference between revisions

However, there is something else to factor in - as you advance, a Skiff will warp in behind the Siege Engine and dispatch a small boarding party. Among this group of enemies is a unique Major named [[Meksis, Siege Engineer]]. It is risky to charge ahead past the other adds and try and kill him first, but if he is not eliminated before he reaches the bridge of the Siege Engine, he will lock it down, retracting the ramp you need to climb up to deliver the parts. If you receive a notification that he has locked down the Engine, have people with [[shotgun]]s, heavy weapons or active [[Super]]s race over to where he is in order to kill him as quickly as possible so the ramp can be lowered.

As you do all of this, the [[Siege Engine]] is on a timer - failure to get at all of its parts in place before the timer runs out results in it detonating, wiping the team. The extension you are offered if you get a part in place just before the timer passes is brief, so try and get there as quickly as possible without hindrance. [[Gjallarhorn]]s, [[Dark-Drinker]]s and shotguns are effective at dispatching [[Captain]]s, and [[Shadowshot]], [[Stormtrance]] and Blessing of Light from a [[Titan (class)]] bubble help immensely here for mob clearance and increased survivability. Be careful of the pits interspersed throughout the field, however. If you end up dropping a piece of the Engine down a hole, the run is unsalvageable, and the Engine immediately detonates.
