Mirrors edge 2
Most enemies in the game carry heavy weaponry and that makes them slow. There might be almost nothing but even sliding behind a pot plant will offer you cover for half a second before you start running again. This won’t work for long and soon they will hit you but it does buy you a few seconds to get to cover or escape.ģ.The third tip is when being shot at always use whatever cover you can. Even if there is no cover you will want to try and zigzag which will hopefully make them miss a few shots. If you try and hide in a corner they will call in all nearby units and slowly box you in until you have no chance of escape.Ģ.The next tip is when you are under fire never run in a straight line. Your only advantage in any situation is your speed.
Here are just some general tips for relatively new and experienced players alike that may get stuck on some levels or just want some helpful tips and tactics.ġ.Never ever stop moving. This is much riskier however as Pursuit Cops recover faster from slide kicks so you have to make sure you are in the perfect disarm position as you only have one try before they stand up and start hitting you, making it almost impossible to get any distance from them before you die. Another way to take them down which is easier but riskier is to slide kick them as they jump kick you, then run around the back and reverse disarm them. Timing is crucial as even a split second too early or too late and they will hit you and you will lose your rhythm. Then see if you can hit them a couple of times then take a few steps back and run at them again and slide kick them. They will most likely try and fly kick you, you will slide kick them however and your kick will hit where as theirs will pass over you. I only do this if everyone else has been taken out adn they are the last guy.įor Pursuit Cops I do the same method but slightly differently, because once they hit you, you lose your rhythm which makes it easy for them to finish you off. A variation of the method I just explained was do the first part of slide kicking them then pummel them, but don’t bother retreating, they will hit you with their gun as they stand up but that leaves them open to a finishing hit from you, before they can hit you again. Now depending on different units and their armour they might collapse before you can finish this whole combo, which is good. They will once again bend over and give you the opportunity to deal them a finishing kick to the head. I slide kick them, then pummel them as much as possible, just button spamming the attack button, then when they are close to recovering I retreat three steps back, then run at them and slide kick them again. This is how I do it for all units except Pursuit Cops. You can’t always go round the back and expose yourself to other enemy units in some situations however. Number one is to go round to behind their gun arm and do a rear disarm. They will bend over and give you the opportunity to take them out in two different ways. You do not need that much space for this method so it is good in small and enclosed spaces.įirst you run at the enemy with as much speed as you can get, when you get close slide kick them. I formulated a pretty standard melee combat technique that can take out any enemy.
MIRRORS EDGE 2 HOW TO
This section explains how to effectively take out different enemies in hand-to-hand combat. One to two SWAT is small, medium three to four and large is five and above. Note 2: The clip sizes in this guide are based upon how many SWAT it can disable before it runs out. Note: This guide may contain some spoilers as you may read about weapons and enemies that you have not yet encountered. If there is anything that is incorrect, I have missed or you would like me to add please say so via the comments so I can make this guide as informative and accurate as possible. Read this guide (or even one section) and then try the combat again, and see if you play differently (and hopefully with more fun). Therefore I challenge you to try and use the way weapons and combat the way they were meant to used. I also found that if you understand the weapons and learn how and when to use them and when not to, the combat becomes much more fluid. If you take a look at the size of this guide you will find that combat, although not extremely common, was regular enough for Dice to put a lot of detail into weapons, enemies and fighting techniques.
Many say that the combat in Mirror's Edge is awkward but thankfully infrequent. This guide includes information for all the weapons, combat and enemies in Mirror's Edge.
