I know this is a little late, but get a friend to play with you and you might have a chance on harder levels. To max out your health go to stage 50, don't remeber the name, destroy everything until the second wave,(to ships will appear in the distance and start dropping ants. Here is where ZEXR or Zera guns will come in handy and the AF-99. Get under the ships and wait for the ship to open, right before the ants hit the ground unload with your gun, diffuculty is on easy, they should die before they hit the ground. This is just build up health, as almost every ant will drop an item, all in a neat pile.
My health is at 7886. I don't think 9999 health will help all that much as 1 spider is deadly than 10 red ants.

I have at least 162 weapons unlocked.

If anyone needs help w/ a mission, I can give you some suggestions on weapon selection, planting weapons or laying mines and so on.

For instance, mision 42 I think, it's called "Wrath", I found c70 bomb worked extremely well against the first wave. The second wave is hit or miss so be prepared for a
replay. 3rd wave was a joke compared to the 2nd wave.

Part of the trick, when only one red ant is alive from the previous wave(leaving a red ant alive cause it's the only bug without a range attack) and finding the corner of the map so you don't get surrounded, collect everything and start setting up for the next wave.

thats a pretty good tactic, i must say.

i didn't do that particular one but this is probly the fastest way to level up (or at least i think it is)

29. ASSAULT

if you shoot down 2 of the 3 Ships, the last one will continue to fly in a circle dropping mini HECTOR WALKING ARMS.

JUST BY PLAYING THIS LEVEL OVER AND OVER

i've got:
123 Weapons

3424 Stamina

plus this one is great for getting alot in a short period of time. at one point i had dozens of items lying all over the place (the TROOPS can take out all 3 Walkers while you go rounding up items.


NOW my fav's are:

AF20 ASSAULT RIFLE

STRINGER J2 SNIPER RIFLE

GOLIATH D1 ROCKET LAUNCHER

ACID SHOT SPECIAL

FLAME THROWER a


(I kinda gave up on GRENADES AND SHOTGUNS but my health will be 9999 before too much longer)

I'll try level 29 tonight then.


Good news is your health doesn't stop at 9999, even though that's what it'll read in-game.

I have 165 weapons
Health is at 10,720
STILL level 52 and 53 on inferno have to be completed.

I don't plan to stop leveling up until I reach at least double my hit points of my most powerful weapons. If I continue to take Prominence M2, my health needs to be at least 30,000 only to cover damage from my weapon if shot within the blast radius.

Easy pickings if you think about it, you can get hit with your weapon. Grab a powerful weapon, c70 bomb, run out to the middle, get surrounded, drop a mine,explode the mine and start picking everything up. Hasn't been tested yet.

I hate the flamethrower, maybe I'll try the acid shot on your recommendation, depending on reload time and damage.

What difficulty are you on when trying to level up? and how many times did go through the level to 2100 health bonus? we went on easy, level 52 and within a 30-40 minutes later we had gained 1000 health.

But get this, first time through, again at level 52 we spend about 2 hours and only gained about 800 health.

I think the amount of game completion affects the armor bonus, something like instead of getting 1 point per armor we are getting 10 points per armor pick-up.

Ok, I'm trying something out, so stats on time and health gain, still testing though.
Tried your stage, man that's alot of running around
4:50-5:10 Lv. 29 gained 176 in health, 20 min.
5:15-5:35 Lv. 52 gained 434 in health, 20 min.
5:45-7:15 Lv. 52 gained 865 in health, 1hr. 30 min.

Now I don't understand how the armor works, how can we play for 1 1/2 hours and only gain double of what we did in 20 min.?
I'm thinking maybe the weapon you kill them with or it's just completely random. 1 1/2 Lv. 52 we concentrated on saving time while reloading ZEXR guns, basically we used our assault rifles for 1 wave while the next 6 waves our ZEXR took care of. 1 ZEXR gun will last for 2 waves and you get 3 guns. I'll explain the maximum time to reload, if you want it. My buddy claims he was able to reload his ZEXR's b4 the next wave came out. I don't believe him, I was able to get about 16 seconds of reload time after the last wave, and it was timed almost perfectly, maybe 1 1/2 seconds off.

Our health is at 12,077
Hopefully I can get my health at my target level b4 the weekend.

wow. i really don't know if the armor rates vary, but thats a very good question.

i like to play that level on HARD, with 2 of my fav weapons. the ACID SHOT is awesome for taking out robots. it has kinda like a shotgun effect, a full shot can take out a mini walker, give or take .

yeah that is alot of running, but i'll take robots over bugs any day.

I like the ZER style guns for bug battles though
**they saved my butt down in the tunnels

over the next 3 days I will play, shoot, and level up.

PEACE ON EARTH AND GOOD RIDDENCE TO ALIEN SCUM!

i choose the super acid gun, when im down the tunnels
