Tips for Siege of Orison
The Siege of Orison event is very different from the existing ones. He emphasizes the fight on foot, and he asks be well prepared, with plenty of weapons, ammunition and medical supplies, and preferably in a group. The developers wanted to give some additional information to take full advantage of it:
1 –
Be aware that the turrets defending Orison’s platforms can be controlled by bandits (activating the “IFF Inverter” feature). In these cases, it is dangerous to come with a ship.
2 –
The locations are very large, which is why the developers have placed maps and road signs so that players can orient themselves.
3 –
The different shuttles do not run periodically like those on the main lines. They are closer to the elevators, in the sense that there are buttons on the platforms to call them, and another in the shuttles to indicate their destination.
The shuttles will not be the only means of transport, and some platforms will not be accessible by shuttle.
4 –
Locked containers are scattered across the platforms. They contain many surprises but to open them you will have to find codes.
5 –
The developers have placed a secret labyrinth and they remind that the character jumps less far in heavy armor.
6 –
As the event is long, search the bodies of his opponents to retrieve weapons and ammunition can be useful.
7 –
The developers have placed secret goals that curious or lucky players can discover.
