- Aliens Dark Descent Players MUST KNOW These Tips - Aliens Dark Descent Tips and Tricks. In this video we are going through some tips that I've picked up from playing more of the game as I've covered tips before. This Aliens Dark Descent guide will cover stuff that the game doesn't tell you, things you might overlook and just general Aliens Dark Descent tips after making mistakes playing the game myself.
Everyone must know the stuff mentioned in the video as it will make your time much easier as Aliens Dark Descent does get really tough really quickly and your marines aren't to be messed around with. High level marines will be beneficial to completing objectives and any of your marines can be killed by facehuggers or abducted and killed by the bigger drones. Let me know your thoughts about Aliens Dark Descent in the comments below :D

The biggest tip to give this game is to use indirect methods to deal with xenos. The apc gun and the sentry guns do not cause hunts. If you combine this quirk with the fact that placed beacons can lure large parts of the level to one spot. you can effectively lure huge amounts of the ambient enemies into death traps.
To add to this, place ambuse mines and sentry guns outside rooms of sleeping xenos and eggs. Send the drone in to make noise waking them, when they walk out boom.
Based
I've platinumed the game and have some advice, especially if you're going for a Nightmare completion.
~ The campaign death clock does not start until you reach Mission 6, the Atmospheric Processor. Make the absolute most out of the luxury of having multiple deployments until this point.
If that means taking another squad of marines into a location to gather missed resources then do it.
~ You should have two complete fire-teams ready by the time you reach Mission 6 and get the APC.
Make use of multiple deployments before the death clock starts to level up two squads of marines rather than have all your experience front-loaded into one squad.
~ Always, and I mean always, have a Recon with a silenced sniper rifle in both squads. Being able to navigate locations with less detections is major, especially on Nightmare difficulty where Xenos are very dangerous and Hive aggressiveness gains quickly.
~ Make use of the Tecker's Tactical Drone (don't bother upgrading it to Battle Drone, all it will do is waste ammo on higher difficulties), it's an excellent asset.
It can be used to provoke Stasis Drones and Facehuggers into waiting Sentry Guns, avoiding a detection.
~ On a similar note, place Motion Trackers by the ARC/APC whenever it is moved. Luring Xenos into it is a very effective way of saving ammo and avoiding detections.
~ Get in the habit of leaving Motion Trackers everywhere on the map.
~ Activating a Motion Tracker during a Hunted phase will get Xenos off your trail fast.
~ Do not sleep on Suppressive Fire, it will literally save your life on Nightmare when Xenos have a lot of HP and you need to slow them down before they get to your squad.
~ If you have to fight, plan ahead if you can and try have space behind you to move backwards while firing. Keep distance from Xenos until you get the Acid Resistant Gel on Pioneer Station.
~ If you have to fight KEEP MOVING but DO NOT RUN until all Xenos are down. Keep moving to avoid Xenos immobilising your marines.
~ Use the Flamethrower to stop Xenos flanking your squad, also use it to cover doorways and force Xenos to literally crawl through fire to get to you.
~ Prioritise your XenoTech. I'd say the following are mandatory for deployments where you're looking to make major progress.
- Chitin Kevlar
- Acid Resistance Gel
- Hive Jammer
- Hive Tranquilizer
- Pheromones
~ Do not bother wasting 10 XenoSamples on the Extraction Device. If you lost marines to Facehuggers you fucked up and should just reload a save.
Save scumming I know but the deck is already heavily stacked against you on Nightmare as it is.
~ Weld up and use Safe Rooms often. Shit can go bad very quickly on Nightmare so save your progress often.
Excellent advice thank you
One other tip that I would recommend is to not sleep on the suppressive fire ability. When you have a bunch of enemies or even just one coming at you, it can be a big help. It can even slow down the queen's charge to a crawl, giving you enough time to cause serious damage to her before she reaches the squad.
try to get in the infinite ammo glitch is the best tip. I got 2.2 billion worth of reloads. Hurry before its patched.
@@purefoldnz3070the question is Why? Ammo never was a problem. Sress and tools is what actually needed.
I got glitched into infinite ammo once, it do absolutely nothing to the survivability of your squad
@@nguyendi92 sure it does, with enough ammo you can survive pretty much any level of Alien attack even when its on hard. Which is a brilliant way to level up your squad. It also means infinite reloads for your turrets.
@@purefoldnz3070 You don't get experience fighting aliens, only finishing objectives. Onslaught and Category 2 xenomorph may give a small exp but it's not infinite. No point in fighting more aliens.
You only have problem when aliens attack in corridors, when you have no turrets ready anyway. I finished hard mode, and at maybe 2 point in the campaign I run out of ammo. It's also a good point to retreat since Toolkits and medkit also ran out.
The single door room tip is a really good one since tools are such a valuable commodity. Great game but man it’s up there w darkest dungeon and battle brothers in terms of difficulty. And you’re 100% right, shit goes south FAST!
Get yourself the Tech class with the drone and send them in on first mission. Use the drone to explore the map whilst you stay safely behind sentry guns. You can map most of the stuff out - and at higher levels the drone can weld/break welds.
just get the upgraded pulse rifle. Resources are very limited.
Isn't the drone still glitching like hell?
Relevant to the footage in this video: Elevators don't work during a Massive Onslaught.
Yeah, found that out the hard way 🤦♂️🤦♂️
@@divebombstudios7706 onslaught are story moments specific for a scenario and as a punishment for rambo commanders. Its to prevent escsping the punishmentand to avoid glitched onslaught, since the infinite onslaught is supposed to be only on script events abd not a game breaking bug [^.~]/)
Although they do make good choke points. Forcing the aliens through a very narrow space.
@@89BlackGatomonI wish the marines has access to the elevator button but the marine will start pressing buttons, or hesitant (maybe they forgot what floor they’re on and which one you wanna go to) to but is ridiculous slow since the stress level in that particular marine Will MASSIVELY INCREASE causing them to basically have a brain freeze. Maybe a line like “oh JESUS FUCKIN CHRIST Ik we have to leave!!! get off my back …….I got this it think.” That’s just me, I think it would be a cool thing to hear, adding more to the panic of you and your marines.
@@IsaiahGuerrieri That sounds awesome, but probably can be hoped to be a steam mod only. The voices are two per gender and voicelines are very limited to they can pay attention to other things. Best action game in a whole.
Behind it would be Alien versus Predator games.
And Alien Isolation is a beautiful all on its own!
5:10 the lifts save progress. Got to mention the APC so OP
The last tip is you need to play this game at night with headphones on.
Mines only cost renewable command points. If you're having trouble dropping three mines in a line from a spawn point really helps. Also good is mining choke points and cross tunnels that the swarm has to go through to get to you across the map. Bonus points if you set up a tracker, overload it, and have put it in a minefield. Set up smart guns to cover the likely route of any bosses across your minefield.
I would recommend not looting ammunition right away because every time you send in an squad again they only come with two clips each as he mentioned in the video this is undeniably crucial to difficult fights where you might not be near the APC.
⚠️ *ROTATING SENTRY TURRETS:* ⚠️
*To rotate a sentry turret, select the turret option, when the turret blue silhouette appears, press and hold the select button (Xbox “A”, PlayStation “X”) and you can rotate the cone of fire with the left analog stick. HAPPY HUNTING MARINES!*
Thanks 👍
Very helpful 👍
@@frankcouper9377 this is clearly explained the first time you place one.
what's the difference to putting them in place?
I use pouches and aiming sights on marines it helps so much and I found having the enduring perk help out a lot
Playing on Nightmare difficulty is really challenging, and makes you use every skill you have to turn the tide. I slept on Suppressive Fire for my Normal playthrough, but Nightmare would be absolutely impossible without it. Same with flares. Don’t over-rely on grenade launchers, damage consistence and avoidance are the name of the game.
i find nightmare kinda ~average difficulty in other game, not really hard. Just dont rush, start with stealth, stack turrets and place flares for hard encounters, block pathing with fire, maybe add supression (yet very rarely as i dont want to spend extra ammo for -accuracy). Got to 7th mission, 1 run every mission (unless scripted to deploy 2nd time) with rotation of ~9 marines, fully explored and all alive etc. Kinda says it's not that hard for 1st playthrough on nightmare.
What game actually didnt say are:
1. technic and medic classes are totaly useless, while sergeant is extremely broken with lvl6 ability.
2. there will be timer later, so maybe it will be better to slow my progression early on to balance squads better (see p.1).
So if i started it again - i'll try get all novices to 3 level to exclude medics and techs from rotation (exp), stacking sergeants (+ability spam, -stress) and heavies (+++aim) with few scouts (stealth kills, visors).
@@nightyonetwothree Totally disagree on the medics. Their morphine is great, as is the free heal in any resting place. The Teckers are only useless if you make them useless, I've used the battle bot buddy a bunch to lure enemies away from my guys. It's not as good as a Sergent or a recon, but if I already have a good ones then I don't really need multiple.
Each class has it's place!
@@thewhitemonkey64 taking damage is very rare and usually a mistake or scripted heavy encounter. So just dont get hurt and if gotten - use medkit. And +15 accuracy on heavies and extra slow on supression alrdy lower aliens' ability to hurt you. While sergeants with extra command points limit and regeneration provide you with extra tools also. Even scout is much weaker then serg or heavy, but stealth shot and visors are great to get to objectives with lowest agression possible (mostly from scripted encounters).
What does the flare do? I’m playing on easy to enjoy the story and I’ve never used the flare.
@@butthead6965 flare gives +10 accuracy to shoot at targets in it's area. So with basic marines' accuracy of 50, its +20% dps.
I don’t like save summing, but during the big reactor floor I found pretty quickly if I’m spotted I’m basically dead since I was going in with my b team since my A team got badly damaged
Game is way easier if you use like 2 sergeants and spam mines + recon with silent precision shot. Most of missions on Nightmare you finish with medium aggression level and you can easily complete missions in 1 deployment. Mines are OP belive me :)
Good tips! And I'm 60 plus hours in. This game is awesome.
Also "team spirit" perk is essential imo.
Thank you 👍
@@Born2Game God bless!
Just wait until you able to get 5 marines on your squad.
Anyone else find the death clock really disappointing after a couple of runs for me this game is AMAZING, tough on you when you are punished but rewarding when you are successful however, you only get your full squad after the death clock and I ngl want more time with a full team as a XCOM player I do like a longish gameplay and I feel this campaign was waaaay too short (saying that as a good thing because I want longer)
what death clock?
The doomfay counter start after Mission 4, I recommend going through mission 1-3 and than simply focus on completing mission area 1-3 primary and secondary mission objectives and farm some daily events.
Don't know if it works above normal difficulty however.
@@purefoldnz3070 mission area 4 active it. Depending on played/selected custum difficulty you have between 15-30 days ingame to finish the campaign or you lose because the game kills you off.
Don't start/end mission 4 and you should be able to farm stuff to be in a better position to finish the campaign when the deathclock start ticking.
Soldiers gain exp by completing objectives, further one should farm medication, sentry guns, tools, Xeno Research points and data pads.
@@89BlackGatomon what is a doomfay?
@@89BlackGatomon oh you mean the planetary bombardment. The countdown timer was much worse in Xcom 2. The biggest problem in Alien Dark Descent is running out of ammo.
Eventually picked this up at the weekend, hopefully is much better than Aliens Fireteam. Not my type of genre however I’m a big fan of the Alien Franchise so thought at the price it was worth adding to my collection
I think it’s much better than Fireteam Elite personally 👍
I was skeptical but took the leap. There are minor issues with your squad mouthing off if you pause for five seconds and the game trying too hard to invoke the exact dialog of the movie (it does a fine job of emulating the universe and tone without resorting to such nonsense). It needs music. Periods of this game are super quiet (like launching from your ship). But. It's a fine game. Very exciting. Well done missions. Decent UI. Some fugly character models and stupid audio can't hold these marines back. You won't be disappointed.
If you can layer you defense. Try placing a sentry with other sentries in it firing arc.
DoT the Queens.
One thing I would like to see in the game is definitely more soundtrack options, when the aliens are hunting for you the same soundtrack can get annoying, even though it is still heart pounding. Some soundtrack from the movie aliens would definitely help especially in the hive when the queens coming after ya or when it comes to last stand moments when your in a rock and a hard place when you see that onslaught message appear on your screen and your not fortified up NOR in a good defensive position.
5:04 It would have been funny if you had said, "don't do what i just did in the video" . "Now was not the time for me to find out what would happen if i declined to use the elevator".
And use "Suppressive Fire" liberally. It has a slowing effect on the xeno's.
Good tips!!! I'm at mission 7...nightmare :)
Thank you 👍
The cerberus protocol always end my game,,, I am at the Tower. Can't find more Alien DNA there :(
My elevator collapsed, at the start, struggling to understand the game, but trying my best,
Ah the mine.....hate that place haha
Tried to like this game but the massive onslaught is just too much. Been trapped in the mine for a week with only 3 squad members and one is carrying an engineer. Onslaught is just impossible. So now I’m stuck with an unplayable game. 😞
I’ve been stuck on berkleighs docks for 3 days😰
the reason why new players doesn't understand the is because new generation haven't played rts tyyYpe games before.
tell me about it. every mission i say "ok now i get it, it shoudl be easy" and the next mission is always worse with my dying again.
I finished the game on easy in about 32hours, but never had any "difficulty' related problems during the game, so while it was tense it was never overwhelming and i did'nt seem to have to worry about the stealth side of the game when being hunted etc so i mostly just gunned through every mission in 2-3 deployments. I'm interested in tackling the game on higher difficulties, but what save setting would you recommend playing on for hard or nightmare difficulty?
If you’re wanting to just test the higher difficulties and see how different they are then use the setting that saves often but if you’re wanting a proper challenge from the game then choose the one that doesn’t save often as you won’t have much room for error, you’ll have to be prepared for every possible scenario during deployments and you’ll be punished for every mistake 👍
If you steamrolled easy I recommend "normal". I play on normal and enforce my own "hardcore" one save to preserve Steam Achievements. It's challenging, and I am well familiar with X-Com and Advanced Squad Leader. Hard is doable, but the RNG can screw you big time in a hurry on hard. So normal hardcore is my personal sweet spot.
in the reactor mission dont save the marine trapped in one of the rooms he is a cultist and will sabotage the Ortego's generator it gives 3 options
Option A: Suspend the work of all engineers and doctors for 1 day and waste 1 day. This is the least painful solution and i recommend choosing it.
Option B: Lose one of the marines. The game will choose one of the characters with the highest experience level. i do not recommend this option because every levelled-up marine is invaluable.
Option C: Waste 1 day and take a risk that the event can reoccur. This is also a bad idea, because the risk is high and it may turn out that you've unnecessarily wasted 1 day.
but all together just dont save the marine
i was playing nightmare with no one can hear u scream (the one save per mission) and i missed the orbital bombardment deadline cause i chose option 3 and it turned up again
I did shoot the guy, Drake. He is hiding in a small chamber right next to some crates, I still got sabotaged. Or do you mean the one that murdered a person?
@@haakonsteinsvaag the event should be locked to the marine drake because i have done a couple playthroughs and only got it after rescuing drake ill test it thoroughly and get back to you
@@haakonsteinsvaag so i uncompressed the game files and found it as a (if this do that) code so I had a look on steam discussions and a couple of the data miners said the kill/save interaction is broken and it will bug out and do both options
I thought that was awesome resting saves progress.
well thats just the thing it doesnt always save, there is glitch so it saves randomly.
@@purefoldnz3070 when you weld yourself in it does
@@tnyeh nope, it doesnt always save. Its a glitch and one of many.
@@purefoldnz3070 did for me…
Quick question, I'm new in the game, and I'm not sure how to handle the days that you can let pass when you are in the Otago. Is it OK to do it? Are there any suggestions about it? Thanks in advance.
It all depends how you want to play. Skipping days increases the infestation level which makes the game harder so it’s about finding the right balance for you personally 👍
Im still confused about days passing by and it will forbid you to move to the next mission
PG mate ❤
Yeah I finished this about a week ago. Royal pain in the ass!
This game punishes me in the best way possible. I have restarted it twice now. Hopefully it won't take a third time.
spam tf out of floor mines. literally drop them everywhere.
does Ammo respawn if you have to exfill and come back on the level?
Ammo does not respawn. Once you pick up ammo it's off the map for good. Ammo will still be there if you exfill without picking it up and then come back.
try to get in the infinite ammo glitch is the best tip. I got 2.2 billion worth of reloads. Hurry before its patched.
This game is fun even tho performance is a bit of hit or miss. loving this game both on pc and S-deck. i am glad this is not turn based game that i hate to the ends of the earth than its a real time strategy action game.
They should call it Aliens: sneak around and die, die, die.
It starts relatively easy?. I felt it started hard got Easy then got hard due to the level design in the later half
Oh my gosh I hated the design of the last level
Every room felt like I had no room, and I constantly was draining health, no matter what I did
I agree with this. I try a self-imposed challenge of 1-daying every mission. And Day 1 is the absolute hardest. The first crusher fight then that dreaded mine? With lvl1 marines? BRUTAL.
@@MrSmexyPain thats what im doing now, in the mines its hard to find room with only 1 door to weld shut and rest.
@@Soldier_Sean I don't think there is one. You need to rest before going down into the mine... then just accept that you'll be leaving the mine on 1 or 2 stages of stress.
ESPECIALLY if you plan to carry that stupid doctor from the cocoon out with you.
@@MrSmexyPain I just got up to that part with cocoons where i have to rescue people and i got bombarded by so many aliens that i died.
I dont like this game. Its about stealth yet aliens spawn at random places and do random patrols but always around my squad. So stealth is broken. And if they detect me all aliens from whole map go for me...Its just pure BS game.
Hey its totally fine if you dont like the game. A few systems that really help to alleviate the patrols is planting motion sensors everywhere on your trail so later when in a pinch you can overload it and cause noise and planting mines everywhere in patrols to thin out enemies and prevent them from spotting you
Well that's true to lore. It's a giant hive mind so they're all connected
