EDF 6 M71 Running like the Wind with the Little Girls - Ranger Inferno ( Earth Defense Force 6 )

This is sort of an answer to a request. It's a nasty mission for Ranger with weapon limits on. You can't stay around the NPCs or they will be massacred by Kruhls and you too. So running around is your best option. But not alone. The 2 squads of little girls will be your lifeline, and they provide amazing help.
The weapons I used were the level 73 Grant MT51, the 68 Omega Blazer, the 72 ZEX Launcher and the 67 Under Assist E3, all within the mission limits.
The Grant is good for map cleaning but its biggest feature is that it works remarkably well against the Androids clouds. Even decent against Kruhls as it still hits them behind shields.
Omega Blazer is better than other assault rifles to take down the transports. No damage falloff.
ZEX Launcher is always a mixed bag because it is prone to killing you and NPCs. But all other turrets within limits suck, so there's no other choice. I've seen people using the A72 Binary Round but it doesn't solve anything except slowing down a few enemies.
No, Hybrids are not the best, when you need to run away Under Assist E3 IS the best. With Under Assist E3 you'll be able to dodge most enemy shots.
Missions flow isn't easy.
Blow some buildings on the right after the NPCs (you can skip this), fall from the building and immediately run away. Capture all NPC squads you can, but the 2 CRUCIAL ones are the 2 of WDs. Along the way drop one ZEX to the front near the first WD squad using a building as cover, and drop the next at the end of the NPCs line (I would have thrown it further left and front, but the building I use as cover was down). Capturing the NPCs may not be easy as they may not be where you expect.
Immediately proceed to the right end of the map, and start destroying the buildings outside the map. When Androids spawn you'll be able to destroy most of them with Grant blasts. If this fails, restart.
Fast moving Androis are only fast if they have buildings to move, without them, they move slowly and in a pack. That's why this is so important with them, removing buildings so they can't move quickly.
Once most are dead, run front, feeding yourself and NPCs, and start to destroy the upper passages. These make WDs flight crap, so you should do that. Destroy the other perpendicular passage on the left too, where you can. If possible destroy the tall buildings far in the back where a few Kruhls will drop so that they don't have hiding places.
When Kruhl pods are dropping, install one ZEX, run left and install the others. Run away. While the ZEXs are hitting any Kruhls all the others will home on you, so they will not attack the NPC vehicles as much as they would without that.
Once near the left side, take down buildings to do the same to the next Androids wave as you did before.
If you have time, hit Kruhls in the distance with Grant, don't waste time with Blazer you'll be too far.
When the next Android wave spawns on the left, use Grant to crush as many as possible. Run away when necessary.
Keep installing ZEXs so that enemies following you will die. The NPC WDs will last a long time, and you'll have plenty of health to feed them along your way or near.
When the 3 transports show up, ignore the Cyclops and red Drones. Use Blazer to take down transports when you can, WDs will kill the ants. Keep using the same map border strategy, don't take risks at this time. Use Blazer on Drones, and Cyclops if possible and safe.
Remember ZEX can kill you too. You just need a red Drone going near you.
Grant is always dangerous and you can expect to kill yourself a lot of times.
Sadly this does require some luck with the timings of spawns, and what enemies will do especially during the start.
There are times when some waves will come too fast because it's going too well and you're not even ready (ZEX not rebuilt) and this will seldom be survivable. Ridiculous that overperformance can be bad... 😋🤣😂
Staying near the NPCs is a TERRIBLE idea with Ranger, once the Kruhls wave arrives they will crush your NPCs from far in a snap. And you're next.
I don't think that there is a very easy way ti deal with this mission with Ranger with weapon limits on. If Air Raider can somewhat cheese it with shields, and the other 2 classes have exceptional movement, Ranger has to do what he can with his movement options to survive too.
Have fun,

Yeah this one is tough with Ranger, although very fun with the other classes. I struggled even without any regard to weapon or armor limits. Always fun to watch someone beat a difficult mission with way too little armor; just shows that their strategy is very sound. Nice work, as always 👍

[@cris3f]

Introducing armor and weapon constraints was the best thing I did to improve my EDF gameplay. It becomes mostly a mindset.
That sound strategies can be created and used are one of the reasons Sandlot EDF games are awesome.
Have fun,
