Aliens: Dark Descent Tips and Tricks for Beginners!

[@sari4tune]

there is another very handy tip, if your hunted, just run into a room where you have to only wield one door (to save ressources), if a room is fully wielded the hunt immediatly stop, that way you slow down the aggressive in the mission so hardly, i made it to threw the first part of mission 1 with full health, full ressources as they can carry, 3 level up to class, 1 had one bit missing ;) and the mission still on medium aggro, of course that was my second start of the game after find out initially some clues, the game is great, hope they make DLC with new campaigns

[@Born2Game]

Thank you for the tip, that will come in handy for a lot of players 👍

[@richardprice4945]

Is this game on xbox?

but if theyre near you when you weld sometimes, theyll just try to break the door down.. so make sure none are around

[@ElijahNMitchell]

Not a perfect game but a damn good one, especially for the price

[@johnnyappleseed8127]

Aliens fireteam is good, could be better if they tweak the AI of the xenos. Also 2010 Aliens vs Predator was decent but the multiplayer is good.

[@valdemarferretti2319]

Totally agree

[@sawyeratkinson]

Dude this game rocks. Im a seasoned gamer at 36, played everything...has to be the first game i turned down to story cause a) damn this game is _actually_ hard and b) wanted to try and search for everything (datapads, story driven stuff, etc.) without the stress mechanic (my own personal, not the games). Really happy picking this up on sale but i would have paid full price had i known it was this good.

[@elslanedog1264]

Personally I think the Stress thing sucks ass.

[@Huettnera]

Cover comes into play once you are fighting against human enemies with ranged weapons! And of course it can be used for hiding from roaming aliens, as shown in the tutorial mission.

[@NSD150]

I bought this game for my dad and I a few days ago, and now he's desperately wanting these guys to remake AvP Extinction.

[@kinbalxel6322]

Me toooooo!It was ahead of it's time with so much potential. With new gen tech, it would be amazing, maybe even be able to control units similar to dungeon keeper

[@tylerclinton3475]

I played an insane amount of hours of AVP Extinction as a kid. A remake or even something new in that same vein would be incredible.

[@ilmarinen79]

Things that I would have loved to internalize before starting (medium difficulty): 1. the tools you gather are probably the most important resource - don't use them for command points unless your are in desperate situation. Sometimes you get gifted more tools than you can carry and then at later missions you may get close to zero for a while and still be at situations where you direly would need rest/repair. 2. The game seems to be essentially running differently on normal vs. slow-mode. The spawning/activity rate of aliens seems to slow down close to zero on slow mode and on normal you'd get swarmed by patrols etc. during the same distance you'd move on slow mode. I'm not sure I like that decision as it feels one is exploiting the game while mostly on slow-mode. Maybe these have been changed as I played the buggy early version... 3. Always try to be on a mission and avoid the events that pass a day, unless you are very low on supplied that you might get. I think I burned a week+ on early "vacations" and felt I really upped the difficulty I faced as I didn't know the consequences. 4. Try to use sentry cannons every time you get more enemies coming as they seem to do more dmg/ammo than the team, which can burn trough ammo very easily. Also make sure to protect the cannons as you probably don't have too many extra tools to spend repairing them.

[@Anty2004]

A quick tip, your auto turret and APC don't alert aliens when they kill an alien, so if you know one is coming and you have time, or you know their patrol route, pop a turret and hide nearby for it to pop them off and then continue. Turrets can get busted though and consume your ammo so you'll need tools and ammo to keep them going. It takes a good 5 or 6+ seconds to put one down. This is a little exploity so it's yp to you if you want to play with this style or thematically.

[@niknak8636]

this is a legit strategy and works well. Sometimes. And it only works for as long as you have ammo and keep it repaired. Landmines are also fantastic for this as well.

[@nicholasvogel9783]

And mines under activated motion sensors, behind a welded door killed 5 of them that way

[@Xyg0t]

If your ARC is available during an onslaught you can send it to a location that intersects with their path (which you can see because you've planted enough motion sensors) and do a drive by shooting 😊

Tip you can glitch lock the door when you weld them shut, instant cancel when the 1st bar of the progress appears, Xenos can't open the doors but other humans can keep that in mind

[@Helljumper425]

That part where you mentioned you had a marine with an amputated arm who later returned with a prosthetic was especially cool because I'm currently working on the refinery mission and where I ran into the first "chosen" and this was where I had my first totally incapacitated Marine. I thought it might have been a model glitch or clipping, but I couldn't see my Marine's leg, but I did see that it was on injured status and that it wasn't something first aid would fix. The more I thought about it, the more I wondered "If I was able to secure her in the ARC and she had a debilitating injury to the leg, if it actually was severed, I wonder if she'll come back with a prosthetic." So thank you for verifying that, that's actually insanely cool.

[@Born2Game]

You’re welcome 👍

[@lustrazor44]

There is utility to cover if you use the hide. If there is a hunt and are being surrounded, if you can find a room with some cover, usually a one way in room, hide behind the cover. The aliens usually don’t look through the entire room so it can save being detected

[@RagnarRipper]

Playing in story since I don't have the time for endless retries and even STILL have had 2 wipes. Absolutely LOVE the game!

[@chrismidyette1098]

Quick little hint on the APC. You can summon the APC to a particular spot that is on the way to your next destination. If you stand in front of it it will stop and as long as you stay in front of it it will offer you coverage while moving to your next spot. Helps keep you healthy and save ammo

[@sublimazed]

or you can just redeploy your squad and drive to the new spot with them in the apc lol

[@thatsagoodone8283]

@@sublimazed True, but the hint becomes very effective if the squad gets ambushed between two points where the APC can get parked. If you can stop it by putting a street blockade of your marines there, you can order the APC to move the position and be ensured that it will not just do a drive-by

I think a good squad size would be 6 to 8. Also the ability to split squad mates up into 2, 4, or 6 man teams you can control separately. This would allow map control and more tactical options. It would also mimic the movie Aliens and be more lore friendly as the basic Marine Squad is between 8 to 12 squad mates.

Good tips. I messed my first game up by not know about the infestation level and skipped almost a week before starting the first mission. I had to restart on Mission 2 when I got gridlocked by runners and an onslaught with no supplies. I was on medium difficulty. Restarted on Easy and didn’t wait a week made a huge difference.

[@Born2Game]

Thank you 👍

[@nyljohnvictoracierto9402]

I've played the tactical W40k games so I already know that the green dots are used for cover against ranged attacks, and I was right, it was not just Aliens, there are human enemies too. And this game is really meant to be played in Stealth as much as possible, this is the vital tip that you missed, you can't just go around guns blazing or you'll end up facing Onslaughts every minute. Not sure what the Onslaught feels like in lower difficulties but in Nightmare, it's a mess.

[@Primarch_Sanguinius]

I wanted a casual run through in this game, and so I chose medium. My marines were overwhelmed in a heartbeat during an onslaught. I switched to easy after

[@godoyfg1]

It's a good game , strongly recommended

[@rickyjanzen6684]

You and i have different definitions for the word "slowly", I see. Even on Easy, that yellow detection line fills faster than you can do anything that doesn't alert the area (hide or suppressed sniper) unless they're more than a screen away. The camera really needs to be able to zoom out a LOT farther. You can go from easy threat to medium in 2 encounters, too, if you teally get caught in it.

[@ZimCrusher]

Just starting out, I was wondering about the Stress De-Buffs (trauma). Each time you rest, you reduce stress by 100, and each block of 100 drops one of the De-Buffs. So... after a mission, I see that Trauma is still there. How long will that stay? Do I need a phy doc or is it just time, or something else to get rid of those? Tip: If you are full health and low stress, but just did 20 minutes of walking around, dropping motion sensors, and getting boxes, you don't need to seal a door to save. Just use an elevator. That will save the game.

[@Rocksteadyz1]

Cover is only relevant for hiding from sleeping aliens and the ranged enemies.

[@TheSonsofSigmar]

Dunno if its a bug or not, but hitting a closed door with an incinerator can stealth kill xenos as they try to reach the door and get stuck burning to death right outside the door. Im not sure if it will stop them in an Onslaught or on certain elite/boss units (definitely not on an alert crusher) but i have seen it work during a normal hunting phase.

[@d.i.l.l.i.g.a.f.594]

You can use the grenade launcher on the vent if you need to get past, it blows the alien up a bit and makes him pop out the vent. And the cover thing is handy when you have human cult members shooting at you, take cover and you can duck pop up shoot & duck behind cover again, if you do it quick enough the guys bob up and down shooting 😂 Walking is quieter than running and you can't shoot while running so walking is usually best (use your vehicle to get to places and if you have too many aliens the truck gives you cover if your near it)

[@franciscocabrera2902]

Big tip that helped me out, play the game the way they want you to play. Im near the end on Hard and you honestly have to abuse the stealth mechanics in some missions. Pay attention to the bar on the top right corner, game is nice enough to tell you when its gonna start sending bullshit your way. Use the slow mo, if you see an alien doing a pounce attack or a charge, NO MATTER WHAT, give your Marines a run order to move out the path, then a move order so they start shooting again. You'd rather take any damage you're gonna receive than have one get knocked down and abducted. The abductions drive me CRAZY, they're ABSOLUTE bullshit 🤣🤣. Grenades with the slowdown are gonna get nerfed lol

You don't need to remember what rooms can be used for resting and how many doors they have.

Helps to find those pesky datapads you may have missed.

I hate that you can't command individual marines. For example, you have one marine picking up the wounded and your 2 other marines just head to the objective and leave you behind. Lol. That's my only nitpick at the moment.

[@simonarques5201]

I think it works pretty well, but sometimes you want a specific marine do a certain job and another one takes it places. and when stealthing and trying to find the good angle to silent snipe, the sniper sometimes is the last one to go out of its hiding, so the aliens are already starting to see you before you get line of sight.

[@teworm]

I suggest any new players quickly learn the stealth mechanics and try to play a cat and mouse game as much as possible. Your squad are weak, fearful and terrible shots. You get exp for completeing missions, not killing numerous xenos(apart from massive onslaughts, but you dont wanna trigger many of those.)

How

[@buggyman4567]

Just make a run for the APC, if you can't, weld a door with two entrances. But cancel the weld for the door at the very beginning, that way any xeno that tries taking that way will be stuck in a loop. Allowing for an easy kill. Hope that made sense

[@TripleNpple]

Didn't expect this... I downloaded it and was blown by how epic 👏 it is I wish there was a better tutorial where marines run Sims to better learn how to manage a squad. Instead you are thrown into the fire and burn every step. Like a queens Sim, horde Sim, how to find viable cover or good defense. What skills do? Etc etc how to move under fire and pressure while being hunted. Like all these things you get eventually but you go through living hell to understand.

[@NYs9thwonder]

I use the cover system for onslaughts. It forces the aliens to come around barrier to then flank and attack. However their life bars by the time they make it, have inversely decreased, if they are still standing, to the progress they have made. I will say also to drop motion trackers, to have a better sense of the alien count on your map. Flares are also great in tandem with suppressive fire.

Dark Decent for a more true to Canon, art style, and feel to the movies. Specifically Aliens. Fireteam if you want a more fast paced Left 4 Dead style game set in the Aliens world. While it is lore friendly such as the art style and taking elements from Promethus and its sequels it definitely leans more on the silly side with dialog and Aliens aren't a threat at all unless you go out of your way to make the game hard via difficulty modifiers. It's a Colonial Marine power fantasy game while Dark Decent reminds you Marines are just humans and therefore die easily as shown in the movies and most expanded material. Both are great games but cater to specfic audiences.

I had a marine that was abducted and I had another one just pop up in my list so maybe they’re awarded as you progress days so the game can’t end if you lose them all. Sorry I can’t give a direct answer

@@Born2Game On the first mission there is a former marine in a jail cell. Use the key on a the nearby sheriff’s body to release that guy and send him back to your ARC.

so this is basicly a replay from first alien movie with ripley on the planet??

[@AlexLoeding]

I love the Alien(1979) franchise. I love and still play Alien: Isolation & Aliens: Fireteam Elite. I took a chance on Aliens: Dark Decent. I’m still early in the game where I can’t change classes or weapons yet. I’m past the tutorial part. It reminds me of isometric survival horror games like Sanitarium. I’m just having issues with the combat. I have pause turned off so it’s got the slow motion instead. I really don’t get the combat yet. I’m not a strategy game player. I feel the slow motion messes with the combat and I just don’t know what I’m doing half the time and I cancel the slo mo most of the time but I haven’t given up on it yet. I gotta experience the full game for the story at least. I hope this video helps me!

If you're not into strategy and you bought it that makes you a moron. That's like seeing a farmer try to fly a commercial airliner with no experience not a pilot at all. Stick with what you like

[@tangumatv]

Kind of reminds me of AVP Extinction for Ps2 and Xbox

[@drshepherd6567]

Good video!

[@Born2Game]

Thank you 👍

[@gamerscubeixxi2152]

Cover does become quite valuable, I won’t ruin the reason why. Your still very early in the game. 😊

[@sublimazed]

Game is fun and challenging, however the bugs can be quite jarring.. and there are a lot of bugs

[@mac19999x]

4:09 wait, you've recently encountered a crusher? During the first deployment you encounter it in the main campaign. How are you even giving out tips if you barely started?

[@Vote4Trump66]

Leave them alone at least they're trying to help others out. What good have you done other than belittling someone?! Go touch grass coward

[@PracticalTacticalFedeli]

This game reminds me of aliens vs predator vs colonial Marines

[@kamrenjones1641]

Tried this yesterday all going well no deaths on first mission then out of nowhere lost 3 of my 4 squad and some how got last one out of nest while carrying an npc 😂

[@Arcticwolf8319]

I’m on day 35 and it’s starting to get too intense. My marines are great but I can’t fend off hoards forever

[@i.sebastian.c6563]

It's a great game! I recomend it also.

[@nickmartin2058]

I think ill have to drop the difficulty only played the prologue but hearing there is permadeath i know its too hard for me already 😂

[@odiedodieuk]

Do you get xp for each kill?

[@Born2Game]

I’m not sure how it works, I think you do but I never notice the xp until the marines are ready to level up

[@odiedodieuk]

@@Born2Game pretty sure it’s possible to level up more than once per mission. It may be objective based

[@red-gt1ms]

i think only objective and onslaught clearance

[@adorable47]

It feels like xcom without the turned based system
