Tip Missions how I loathe you.

One of my most fun tips was actually run blue-side (me, blueside! Imagine that!). The mission was to run through a warehouse fun of gun turrets and proximity-bombs. After my Defender tried playing duck-and-tag a couple of times, I realized "Hey, isn't this a bubbler defender?" and felt kind of stupid. Turned on the personal nothing-touches-me-ever bubble, ran through and was done in five minutes tops.

Hush you! When I got this tip mission 3 days ago I got all three glowies in the fish farm room. I generally dismiss this tip unless it's the last one I get, not only because of the mission itself but because it sends you all the way to Port Oakes. I like staying in Grandville, kthx.

I think looking for a well-hidden glowie guarded by protective mobs is a big part of the game's fun.
I LOVE to raid the crap out of anything.

The Villain Tip mission where you get Longbow Boss pets? That mission is hellacious.
The best comics are still 10�!

If you only read one guide this year, make it this one.

WARNING: I bold names.
Some tip missions are quick and nice. Others are so long and tedious.
My favorite used to be the Malta Actionfigure one as hero. Was such mad chaos and fun, then they "fixed" it and its now the most boring one.
Ground out 30 a-merits for a pvp recepie, not doing that again in a hurry ><

Yeah... My blue-side Stalkers were in heaven with that one. The bombs and pop-up guns can't "see" through Hide, and Doc tends to go down pretty fast when you start out hitting him with a built-up AS.|

Those same Stalkers also do well with the higher level Bomb Triggers tip. Poor Eddie's AI just doesn't seem to know what to do about Stalkers... "Ow! Quit it! Hey. Where'd you go? Hmm... I guess I'll wave my guns around and try to look impressive... Ow! Quit it!" XD

That map doesn't bother me in the least. The one I absolutely loathe and despise is the 4-5 level cave room where your running around in circles around the edge of the room.

You know tip missions are fun when you have the time to run them, but some days all you want it your bloody A-merit. Because, believe it or not, I do have something better to do than sit in front of my PC all day.
The devs made shure that there not the fastest things to do though, sticking to those huge orbagen maps and then hidding the glowes on us.

But not today. The RNG is a great thing.
