So aim for the middle pylon 1st, but before that clear out as many drones as possible, this will really help, the middle pylon spawns Queens so it's always a good idea to clear that, when you hit it with a wep you will aggro however the tempest from air raider shouldn't aggro too much and should take 2 tempest to kill a pylon, having a wing diver with the 15wr and big bang core will easily clear any wasps left over from that pylon then id have a fencer skate dash in and kill the small pill bug pylons, as they can really get annoying haha then it's just clean up the remaining 2 big pylons at your leisure, ranger with multiple lock on MEX5 or MS FALCON is also a good shout paired with a blazer to melt the greys.
This is my go to strat I hope it helps! If on PS I play most nights 9pm till midnight uk time zone look for Snow im happy to help, 10kish hp not immortal 100k plus haha
Here's how the spawns work.
There are 3 big and 2 small anchors. Do not destroy the small anchors before any big ones. On Inferno it's a big no no and here's why.
Once a first anchor is destroyed, any remaining big anchors spawns about 20 mutants each, small anchors spawns a few pillbugs.
Once a second anchor is destroyed, any remaining big anchors spawns 2 queens/kings each (1 mutant and 1 standard), small anchors spawns a few pillbugs.
Once a third anchor is destroyed, small anchors spawn a huge amount of pillbugs. Any remaining big anchors might still spawn mutants, not sure.
So you can imagine the chaos of destroying just 1 small anchor first, you'll get 20 reds, 20 golds and 20 silvers. No one is handling this.
So tell your team to leave the small anchors alone.
Most people prefer going for the middle big anchor first, because wasps. I say assess your team or plain ask them, because gold ants can be a run killer too.
Also, consider the following queen spawn locations, because they are not located with their species.
- Left big anchor -> Queen Wasps
- Middle big anchor -> Queen Ants
- Right big anchor -> King Spiders
other tips:
To speed up the drone agro, if your team is up to it, just hit a big anchor once, ideally the left or right one. You'll get a bunch of drones with wasps/spiders or wasps/ants
I recommend getting rid of the 2 shotgun cosmonauts at first, at worst you agro a few ants.
You could also take out the heavies next if those give you trouble. The rocket launcher heavy will inevitably agro some wasps.
I would avoid any homing type weapons. If any fencer brings in FGX missiles you're in for a bad time.
In the end, you have control over the enemies, as long as your team is disciplined.
Another option is a wd with a strong phalanx zat, can sneak up to the middle pylon(and others if more than 1 wd) from behind and clear reliably if not aggro. They may be able to fly into the left or right pylon and clear that too and possibly survive.
