Alright, Kill Team enthusiasts, get ready for a change of scenery because we’re diving into Killzone: Bheta-Decima, and it’s not your usual space hulk vibe. We’re talking precarious oceanic platforms and the thrill of survival in the salty winds of change with Kill Team: Salvation.
First off, check out the double-sided game board – one side’s a terrifying chasm into roiling seas, the other’s a lifeline of a central platform bridging the gap. But hold on, operatives, no casual swims here – you gotta climb onto those platforms hanging over the ocean to stay dry.
Now, things get interesting with deadly platform gaps. You’ll need to channel your inner acrobat and leap (or fly) between them. But don’t go all daredevil – the new mission maps in the Approved Ops 2023: Hazardous Areas download got your back. If there’s a yellow line between platforms, take that leap of faith, my friend.
But watch out for Line of Sight hijinks. The ocean spray and industrial fumes play tricks on your vision. Those watery spaces act like a massive block of Obscuring terrain – if your target is at least 2 inches away through a Hazardous Area, it’s Obscured. That means no easy shots. But hey, standing on a Vantage Point like a gantry platform? You’re above the mist, my friend, free from Obscured shenanigans.
But don’t get too comfy up there. Gantry placement matters. If your Line of Sight crosses through an area with another gantry, you’re back to being Obscured. It’s like playing hide-and-seek with snipers and ground-level foes.
And speaking of foes, if you’re into long-range firepower, protect those spotters or rely on Markerlights. Close-range teams, it’s a cat-and-mouse game. Use Hazardous Areas as your shield against ground-level shooters, and gantries as your cover against snipers.
Oh, and barricades? You can set those up on Vantage Points now. Tactical, right? It’s a risk-reward dance, commanders, and the stakes are higher than ever in Bheta-Decima.
But hey, don’t forget, this is just one way to play Kill Team. The regular open board missions, the tight corridors of Killzone: Gallowdark – mix it up for a varied and fun campaign. Just ask the champs at the World Championships of Warhammer – they tackled two kinds in the same weekend. Adapt, strategize, and let the Kill Team madness continue!
