The Dig – Brutal Difficulty
The Dig on Brutal is actually a little challenging. The first few times I tried it I tried to expand too early and did a poor job of defending my ramp. The video above will give you an 8 minute recap of how I completed the mission. Otherwise, here are some tips that may help. [...]
Cutthroat – Brutal
In the Cutthroat Mission, you have to race around the map with a small army collecting scraps before your opponents. The first of you to reach 8,000 minerals wins the contract and the mission. On Brutal difficulty, the opponent goes much faster. Not too fast though, start off by building a few Medics to support [...]
The Great Train Robbery – Brutal
The Great Train Robbery on Brutal is a lot more difficult than on Hard (duh). Here are the most important things to consider while trying to complete this mission. Locating the Diamondbacks The first thing you need to do at the beginning is find the first 4 Diamondbacks. They are located to the west and [...]
Smash and Grab – Brutal Difficulty
In Smash and Grab you have about 20 minutes to reach the Artifact on the east side of the map. You will also want to collect the 4 Protoss Relics which will provide you with additional Protoss Research you can use to improve your units and structures for later missions. There is one located just [...]
The Outlaws – Brutal Difficulty
Doing this mission on hard is a good teaser of what the upcoming Brutal missions will be like. You will notice the quick speed of the units and game play that comes long with Brutal. Fortunately, the opponent is not too difficult just yet. You will need 3-4 barracks and a large army of Marines [...]
Supernova Achievements
During this mission, the planet will slowly become engulfed by flame from left to right. It takes 10-15 minutes for this to cross the entire map but it’s fast enough that you will have to move your base 2-3 times. The three achievements can all be earned on your first attempt just by being careful [...]
Welcome to The Jungle – You’re So Crazy (Feat of Strength)
This is a secret Feat of Strength that you can earn in Welcome to the Jungle. It’s also an alternative way you can win the mission entirely. In the video above I did this on Hard mode because I felt Normal would just put me to sleep. Just build Marines & Medics, defend the terrazine [...]
The Great Train Robbery – Silver Streak Achievement
The trick to the Great Train Robbery is to build a ton of Diamondbacks, expand to to the north to gather more resources and avoid the Marauders that are patrolling later in the game. Be relentless with your Diamondback production and build a group of Marines and Medics for additional support. I used 2 bunkers at my [...]
Outbreak – Army of Darkness Achievement
Above is a quick video showing you how to get Army of Darkness Achievement in Mission: Outbreak. You will notice that I’m on Night 3, that is because I spent the first night weakening some of the structures and the second night filling bunkers I build during Day 2. This didn’t work at all, the bunkers. Bunkers [...]
Haven’s Fall – House Call Achievement
Haven’s Fall is the alternative to Safe Haven; you will be able to do both Missions but only one of them will apply to your chosen plot line. This mission is extremely difficult if you don’t know what you’re doing. On the other hand, it’s the easiest mission if you know what’s up. At the [...]
