Onslaught > Help
There's plenty to play with in Onslaught but a little knowledge of of the inner workings can go a long, long way. Reading the hints and tips in here will improve your experience
Modifier Turrets
These turrets don't fire at attackers, instead they change the stats of the turrets that are within their range. They do things such as altering the damage, range or rate of fire of any weapon that is within the range of the modifier turret.
Plain Modifiers
Need to increase the damage of a turret but can't upgrade it
any further? Build one of these and any turret in it's range
gets a 40% boost to it's damage.
This little radar station extends the range of any turret in it's
range by 100. The extended range is marked as a dotted line when
you view a turret's range by pressing R.
And to increase the rate of fire, this turret is your friend,
increasing the rate of of any turret in range by 120%.
Same as the damage booster but you get a 100% increase in damage.
On the downside, this modifier isn't cheap.
Exchange Turrets
Exchange turrets are like modifiers but they increase one attribute of the weapon in exchange for a decrease in another. The upside to this exchange is that these exchange turrets are much cheaper than the normal modifier turrets.
Any turret in range gets a 100% boost to it's damage, but it
costs 30% of the range and 30% of the rate of fire.
Any turret in range gets a boost of 100 to it's range, but at the
cost of 25% of the rate of fire.
Any turret in range has it's fire rate increased by 60%
cost of 40% off the damage and 10% off the range.
Finally
Weapons and modifiers will only get you so far. To get to the really high scores you need to combine towers to use the special combo weapons.
