Star Wars: Republic Commando: Difference between revisions

 

----

 

* [[Abnormal Ammo]]: According to the [[Strategy Guide]], the beam weapon used by Geonosian Elites is powered by the internal fluids of its Geonosian user. This means that you can't simply reload an old beam weapon with the ammo of the new one and have to discard the old one once it's spent.

'''Scorch:''' Yeah, yeah. They searched me, but I, I hid the data pretty well.

'''Boss:''' Where exactly?

'''Boss:''' Roger that. }}

* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]:

* [[Elite Mooks]]: Super Battle Droids, amongst others. They start out sporadic and vaguely challenging but once you get the anti-armor attachment for you DC-17, they're a cakewalk. That is, until you run out of its very limited supply of ammo, [[Demonic Spiders|then...]]

* [[Embarrassing Rescue]]: This appears to be how one of the standard clone troopers stationed aboard the "Prosecutor" felt about being rescued by the player.

'''Boss:''' This "deluxe model" is the only thing standing between you and a bloody death, so you'd best be showing some respect, trooper. }}

* [[Escort Mission]]: You end up escorting a fellow named Tarfful a few times. He isn't invincible, but since he is ''[[Authority Equals Asskicking|a Wookiee chieftain]]'', he has a considerable amount of hitpoints and can deal quite a bit of punishment, including one hit killing super battle droids by slamming them in the ground and ripping their arm off. The only problem may be that he only engages in melee combat, leading to him being killed by friendly fire from your squad mates, ''especially'' if you've assigned one of them to an anti-armor position. Thankfully, during big battles with Droid Dispensers he hides from enemies until it's time to advance.

* [[Giant Mook]]: Super Battle Droids and Trandoshan Heavy Assault Mercenaries. Super Battle Droids are 8 feet tall, can withstand about 150 blaster bolts or 4 thermal detonators before falling, and are equipped with a combination blaster/ rocket launcher arm cannon. Heavy Trandos are ''even tougher'' than Super Battle Droids, and carry a very powerful minigun that can cut you down in less than a second. The anti-armor rifle mod kills them both very quickly, though.

* [[Go for the Eye]]: The suggested strategy in dealing with [[Boss in Mook Clothing|Advanced Dwarf Spider Droids]], as it's the droid's [[Attack Its Weak Point|only known weak point]].

'''Scorch:''' In other words -- shoot the big red spot! }}

* [[The Goomba]]: Battle droids, of course. They die after only a few shots, have below average aim and a slow rate of fire, and while reasonably maneuverable they lack the ability to do things like sprint or dive away from grenades, as well as being unable to use grenades themselves. Trandoshan mercs prove to be much better fighters compared to battle droids when they show up later in the game.

* [[Tempting Fate]]:

{{quote|'''Fixer:''' Hold up, squad... I'm getting a read on something big headed this way.

'''Sev:''' [[This Is Gonna Suck|Guess what? It's a spider droid.]] }}

* [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill]]: Scorch seems to live by this trope, often wondering if he used enough explosives right after flattening something with a demolitions charge or quipping "Ahh, so that's how it opens" after blowing a door open and deeming the DC-17's anti-armor attachment "a real weapon".

{{quote|'''01/425:''' Locate turret controls and commence disabling maneuvers.

'''Sev:''' "Disabling maneuvers?"

'''Sev:''' Oh, I knew that. }}

* [[Van Helsing Hate Crime]]: Members of Delta Squad really have it in for Trandoshans. Most notably, Sev and Scorch make declarations that "the only good lizard is a dead lizard" and threaten to [[Human Resources|make boots out of them]].
