ATAG Controls

Walkthrough

The tutorial is straightforward. Each weapon system has its own training segment with on-screen prompts. The timed exercise at the end requires destroying all target dummies within 90 seconds using a combination of all four weapon types. The machine gun handles distant targets, the cannon clears groups, the EMP disables shielded dummies, and the ram crushes the final row.

Tips

• The cannon has a wide blast radius but a long reload time. Use it on clustered groups, then switch to the machine gun for stragglers.

• The EMP is essential against shielded targets. Without it, shielded dummies take almost no damage from other weapons.

• The ram deals the highest single-hit damage. Line up multiple targets in a row before charging for maximum efficiency.

• The ATAG becomes your primary offensive mount for the rest of Chapter 10 and is usable in select encounters afterward.
