biotech epic....

[Hot-Salsa]

:mad: i see alot has changed since last i did that epic...it seems impossible these days...all sectors around the village i need to reach is full of scouts...i have tried and died so many times that i dont bother the epic anymoore.i have had less problems with TT and TG epic.why this sudden change?:confused:

[FeeNiX]

Try sending an email to helpdesk, perhaps they overlooked this eventuality when they added the DoY bots, for a long time the TT epic was really hard because Catlock bay was surrounded by Y-Reps and TG guards, and vehicles were terrible protection. Have you tried catching a ride in a tank or APC, as these vehicles actually offer protection to their occupants, unlike the jeep and the bikes. Option number two is get a nice PPU from a non city faction (TS, BD, TG, etc...) the DoY bots ignore them, it will take a long time and alot of rezzing but that could help you complete the epic as well.

On saturn at least, you can get from the escador oasis to the building in the village without hitting a single DOY unit ( you may see a few but they are avoidable ) you just need to be careful at what points you zone etc.

[Doc Holliday]

mate i done the bio epic shit loads of times. get a crahn or bd or what ever ppu to help u. drive in a tank apc reveller what ever and get em to cover u all the way. get out do mission. job is a good un

[Birkoff]

Done it a few times as a nub PE.... died once or twice but u expect to... your as far away from home as u can be and in DOY territory....

Try a different approach or if ur a spy/pe lvl till u can stealth :)

[Drexel]

Alt E is your friend.

Use it to look 'over' the dunes, it can be done, however syncronising into the next zone between 4 DoY's is a regular occurance.

Try to come in from the East. The south is a suicide run.

[Hot-Salsa]

i tried to go from the east...but ran into many scouts there:eek: but i think ill try to find a ppu to help me...a BD would do fine since i am allied to BD...tnx for all the help and tips ;)

[LTA]

and whatever you do DONT FOLLOW THE ROADS through zones... 9/10 times it's insta doy death :p

[Omnituens]

try following the zone lines

if you hit some, zone

only problem with that is you might get a long sync into the next zone

[Tratos]

i helped somone on my APU get there in my reveler. since its fast enough you can just drive behind a hill or a bit of broken temple to avoid the shots from the DOYs.

What you need is a friendly TG PPU to drive your butt up there from Racetrack.

It ain't that hard to do unassisted, I've done it on 3 biotech mules in the last month. Get a hovertech and head up that way. The trick to avoiding Johnny 5s is to go about 1/4 speed and have your visual options set to show them at max range. If you see Johnny, backtrack and look for a clear path. You can also haul ass up the zonelines.

[Sefran]

Its easy as long u avoid the road, cause u gonne die for certain if u even come near it

[Hot-Salsa]

i made it ..hehe i got a FA ppu stuck to my ass and survived all the johnnys :P i love shelter :)

[Matthew.v.smith]

lol nice.

When i did the Biotech epic i made it the whole way thru first time with my tank on saturn.
got shot at a few times by johnnys but survived and hid in a tower.

i then completed the mission ran out and got pwned ggred back to apppy got gear :)

and went to next mission ^^

Matty.:angel:

just come up from the south zone, go on the hills (if you know how) and run around the bio zone on the hills, no problem then

[Morris]

I used to take my weak-ass droner out to the graves (which are just a few sectors away) solo all the time. Get a hovertec from the MB, and from Yutano follow the southern end of the j/k zone lines. Once you're directly north or south of your destination, make a right turn and scoot! :D

Just keep your speed up and use the terrain. You'll be out of range or over a hill by the time the bots can target you.

i did the epic on my apu last week didn't seem that hard tbh, just go to syncon and head north west keeping a keen eye out for the nasty bots

It's a whole lot harder when you don't have Syncon GR. I've got all the GRs now except the north east corner of the map because I get killed everytime I go up there. I've given up on doing the rest of my epic until I can stealth.
