Vanquish - Tactical Challenges Guide


First, get familiar with all in-game mechanics. The best advise is to get rid of small enemies asap; usually it is done by using the grades or LFE guns. Romanovs with the flamethrower can be killed by shooting the tank on their back. Fast blue enemies that role around the level are weak agains shotgun. Other Romanovs have weak spot on their backs. You will need to learn the best strategy on every level.

When you toss a grenade, you can destory it by shooting it with your guns. 

You can toss grenades by holding the L1 so slide and pressing triangle button.
You can toss the cigarate and be invisible for some time. Throw it be covering behind the wall and holding the L1 button.
Keep dodging with X button all the freakin' time.
Keep entering the AR mode by jumping with X and pressing L2. Do not let it deplete too much. Instead, do this on short intervals. 
Save yourself by tossing the EMP grenade when you are in the critical mode. This way you can survive.
Familiarise yourself will all types of weapons.
When you reload, change to some other weapon and back to weapon you are reloading. It will be reloaded and ready to use.
When you slide (L1), shoot and you will enter the AR mode automatically.
Melee kills - Slide with L1 and press circle while doing so. Press L2 in air to enter AR mode and shoot until it drains.

Tactical Challege 1

Strategy:

Not much to say, you need to learn to toss the grenades and when to toss them to get rid of small enemies. I was mostly dodging in rounds after the first one - and using the obstancles to avoid some enemies and lose their track. Dodge wiht X like crazy, use grenades found in this level and use the AR as much as possible.

Tactical Challege 2

Strategy:

This is one of the easiest challenges. Be sure to jump around like crazy. You can develop your own strategy here; I mostly used Assault riffle and I took my time.

Tactical Challege 3

Strategy:

I've completed this on my own. Not so hard, but can be frustrating. Keep circling toward distant area (the one north of where you start) to avoid enemies.

Tactical Challege 4

Strategy:

Almost as tough as the last challenge. I started of with shooting tanks from Romanovs, then killing the slide enemies with Shotgun. 

Second round is one of the toughest ones - stand close to the barrier and toss grenade at front of you, combined with the LFE gun, to destroy most the the enemies. Also use the LFE gun to get rid of small spiders. The rest is easy, take cover behind the wall close to the barrier and shoot the distant enemies one by one.

Third round is easy, first shoot the flying enemy, then the red ones and then the boss.

4th round - take cover behind the wall at the entrance AFTER you toss one EMP to kill ALL the flying enemies. Make sure to leave 1 EMP at least. Kill all enemies from behing the tree, toss EMP and shoot turrent on the tank. Kill the tank from behind. 

5th round is the toughest. Kill the left side enemy with the rocket launcher, dodge Crystal viper, kill other Romanov and everything else. Then kill the Viper. Check the video bellow for help.

Tactical Challege 5

Strategy:

This is one the easiest ones. Throw a grenade, enter AR mode and shot it to kill all enemies here. Shot the remaining flying car pilots. Pick up the rocket launcher.

In round 2, use the rocket launcher to get rid of enemies. Pick up upgrades to refill the launcher. 

Toss EMP and grenade to get rid of enemies at the bridge. Go back and hide behind pillard to kill the boss. Last area is easy; kill everything there and open the small door where you can find the turret.

First get rid of the snipers and then use the turrent and combine with strongest weapons to kill the boss. This is a really easy challenge.

Tactical Challege 6

Strategy:

Instead of giving the tactics, check out videos bellow. I've used Sebby's video and recorded how I did it. I actually combined couple of videos to make it work. This is the worst thing ever. Good luck!

Video Guide (Kudos to Sebby412):

Here is how I did it. I do not have such good hand for last round, so instead you can use the rocket launcher or lock-on weapon to finish it.
