Badwater Walkthrough

Hey everyone, I've been getting a lot of questions lately about my strategies. I've noticed a lot of newer players having trouble with one of the earlier missions in the game. Badwater. while this is arguably the hardest low level mission in the game, it can be beaten with some brainpower.OK then, let's get to it!The first mistake a lot of people make is right at the beginning of the mission. The game will prompt you to choose your class. Many people choose the demolitions man, or the soldier. The best choice here is the Scout. You'll see why as we move along. Open your backpack and choose the following items.The back scatter. We will be using stealth.Bonk. Vital for the first stage.The sandman. We'll be needing to stun our enemies.If you haven't acquired any of these items. Please see my guide on grinding unlocks.After you configure your load out you will spawn in a spacious room with 11 npcs. Approach the healer and offer him a scrap metal. In return he will grant you an overheal. When the timer runs out leave from the left most door. Don't stop unless you want to get killed by snipers. Move to the incline on the left. Don't worry about the bomb. Your NPC friends will take care of it. Stop at the top of the incline. There are 2 engineers with level 3 sentry guns just beyond the rock. Fire your primary weapon to alert the first to your presence. If both engineers hear you they will give chase. If this happens run back to the safe zone and wait for them to de-aggro and return to their nests. Once you've gotten the first ones attention ready your sandman. As he rounds the corner alternate fire to stun him, then switch to and use the bonk. Run past the engineer and put him between the sentry and yourself. He will be helpless as his own sentry tears him to shreds. Now face towards the gap between the two buildings and jump. The sentry fire will propel you towards your destination.upon landing quickly run into the alcove to your right and take the health potion. observe the top of the building to the left. A lone sniper will be perched on the edge. once your sandman is charged use it to stun him. The sniper will fall of the building to his death. this will trigger a pyromancer to come out of the metal doors and rove the area. Wait for him to pass you and use your primary to shoot him in the back.Run to the right and take the stairs into the small room. LISTEN CAREFULLY! This room is patrolled by frost spies who will turn you into ice if you stand still too long. Listen for the noise of their invisibility spells and spin around quickly to kill them. There are two of them.Move to the ledge outside and jump across the gap to the next building. If you fall a heavy weapons man will kill you. You can either ignore him, or wait for him to pass and drop down and shoot him in the back.Move to the next superstructure. If you need health grab the potion behind the fence in the first room. Take a right into the next room and kill the sniper standing at the window then exit and continue forward. You will arrive on a ledge overlooking the end point of the level, by this time the npcs will have moved the explosives very close to the end. Your job will be providing support by killing enemies as they spawn. At first there will be many snipers and spies, as you kill them heavies, pyromancers, and cyborg engineers will begin to spawn. Make sure you kill them before they construct their miniature turrets. Avoid demolitions men, soldiers, and heavy weapons men. The npcs will take care of them. Once you've wiped out most of them, move to the explosives and help your teammates push them. Note that the enemies will reset as long as the objective is not complete.Once the explosives reach the hole, back away and watch as the area explodes. Now you have access to their base. Enter and confront the red shpee with the cloud above his head. He will surrender. You can either kill him for double XP, or spare him for double metal. Either way you have now completed the quest and you're rewarded with his headgear.I hope this guide has helped you all. Next up is a PvP guide for the high tower.
