Supreme Commander 2 Tips & Tricks

    There are currently no pc Tips & Tricks for Supreme Commander 2.

  • Weapons & Equipment Basics

    In Splinter Cell: Conviction, your character can carry one handgun and one secondary firearm (machine pistol, assault rifle, etc.). In the single-player story mode, Sam's gadgets depend on the scene. In the other modes, your character can carry two different types of gadgets. Play through the game (both single-player story mode and cooperative story mode) to earn more weapons. Finish PEC challenges to earn PEC points, which can be used to purchase upgrades. Of the 38000 PEC points total, only 26900 PEC points are required to obtain all the upgrades, uniforms, and camouflage texture variants.

  • Tip Lines

    All mobile units can be set to patrol an area. Artillery units are very effective at damaging large groups of enemies. Build forward bases to move the war closer to your opponents. Building factories closer to your enemy will reduce travel time. Building multiple Research Stations generates research points faster. Building structures too close together will make it difficult for your army to move through your base. Certain technologies on the research trees will boost the effectiveness of many units at once. Engineers can build structures, reclaim wreckage, and Capture enemy units. Experimental Transports can carry land-based Experimentals. Experimental units are extremely effective. Build them as fast as you can. Factory Add-ons are far more effective than their standalone counterparts. Grab as many Mass deposits as possible to control the map's resources. Gunships are highly effective against land units but vulnerable to Fighters. If you capture an Engineer or Factory, you can build your opponent's units and structures. If you order Engineers to patrol an area, they will automatically repair units and reclaim wreckage for Mass. If you set a patrol route for a Factory, all of the units it produces will automatically follow that path. Most Illuminate land units can hover, which lets them travel on water. Shields are effective at blocking Artillery fire and Tactical Missiles. They will not block Nukes. Tactical Missile Launchers are most effective against structures since they do not track moving targets. The Illuminate Bodaboom boosts the Health of nearby units. The Illuminate Loyalty Gun automatically captures nearby enemy units at a very fast rate. While moving, mobile units will fire at any units that entire their valid firing range. You can unlock new units and Experimentals through research.

  • Never Play Fair

    Though you can use Radar Installations to technologically ascertain your surroundings, they won't show you everything. When there's something you want to seesuch as a faraway enemy basethere's a way to "shine the flashlight" on them, so to speak, and reveal what they're hiding. Simply send a lone, quick aircraft flying overhead. It'll likely be destroyed, but watch its course, and you'll be able to see everything around it. Although this glimpse is "frozen"it remains there, and can be referenced whenever you likeit isn't updated in real time. Nonetheless, it's a great way to get a peek at your enemy's territory, and helps you plan your invasion. What if that aircraft didn't survive long enough, though? The solution is simple: send in something bigger, like an empty transport unit! There are other dirty tricks you can use to get around various complications, too. A mass of Engineers can Capture slow-acting enemy units, and defenseless buildings. Comparatively unnecessary units can be thrown into the lion's den and draw your foes' attention, while your true heavy hitters follow close behind, and deal out damage uncontested. If you're about to do something terribly risky, save your progress just before the fateful click is made. Do your best to conjure up the most devious strategies possible!

  • Keep the Road Clear

    You know you need units, turrets, Mass, and Energy. That's great, but you don't want to recklessly clutter the landscape with factories and stationary units. If you do, you may partially or completely block some passages, preventing your units from rolling through them. Though building a variety of anti-tank and anti-air turrets at a structure's flanks is logical, scattering them straight across the horizon in a zig-zag pattern isn't. Always make sure your construction habits won't cause irreversible traffic jams. If you accidentally create an awful roadblock, have your Engineers Reclaim the buildings right away.

  • Know Your Surroundings

    Early on, you're familiarized with the camera controls. One of the most useful options is the Zoom In/Zoom Out toggle. Although you'll have to rely on Radar/Sonar to expand your field of vision, zooming out to see the entire map is something you should often utilize. It helps you plan ahead. For example, if a multitude of enemies are hiding in the map's northeastern corner, you'll want to pad your forces with additional units where theirs can't reach. If they're creeping toward you, you can retaliate by constructing buildings and appropriate defenses before they arrive. Without viewing the entire map, it may be significantly tougher to make these calls.

  • Constant Deployment

    You've got the resources to build with, and your factories are hard at work. If all or any of your units are currently sitting idle, put them to work! As the tutorial teaches, you can preemptively designate destinations for whatever your factories are building. Sometimes, those targets will be destroyed before anything is completely built, however. Furthermore, there may be a cluster of foes who snuck around to your back, or who have otherwise gone undetected. Constantly survey your surroundings and deploy your idle units wherever they're needed, and frequently order the wounded to retreat for repairs. Where, though, will you be sending them? That's something you should plan for...

  • Logical Production

    To make a dent in your foes' defenses, you want a lot of firepower. All the guns in the world won't do you any good if they're reduced to smoldering piles of metal, though. Considering, there are situations where you'll want to both offend and mend. To manage both simultaneously, order a factory to create a small amount of offensive units, then queue up a few Engineers. Some should assist your factories to ensure they're building units at top speed. Afterward, order up some more attackers, then another small batch to repair them with. By breaking up your requests into smaller groups of each, you won't be waiting for a group of fifteen tanks to be built before a single Engineer pops outafter most of your units have already been destroyed. Fortunately, if you ever do order too many of a certain unit, you can reduce its queue by clicking on the associated factory, followed by right-clicking the numbered icon at the lower right.

  • Strength in Numbers

    You're an ACU pilot. Though that means you're in a position of power, you're nothing without the forces you command. To bolster your ranks, you'll want to start producing more units as quickly as possible. If you already have factories and Mass Extractors in place, they can start doing this immediately. If you don't, build them, whip up some Engineers, and send your ACU off to do other things. As for how you should order up those units...

Supreme Commander 2 Cheat Codes
