I don't think a lot of that is necessary though if all you want is 3 stars for the other COOP achievement.Today Sierra has announced that Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions will expand thanks to a new Evolved add on, which will update the core game with a super state of new challenges and features. I beat it with time to spare so there's a lot of room for score maximization. Just let your turrent fire straight into them and fire away from the boss to just kill the diamonds. You can also farm geoms in the final phase where the boss is stationary as it throws waves of blue diamonds at you too. If that's an issue then stay closer to the boss in the last two waves so you can collect more geoms. I got 3 stars without really trying to maximize for score. Also watch out forĪside from that it's pretty straightforward if sometimes difficult.

A ring of yellow X's spawn right at the edge but if your fire is hitting it, it will be destroyed before it kills your second player. Specifically, after the first wave, make sure your firing right at the second controller to keep it alive. You'll need to remember to protect your dummy until the later phases. The extra firepower is useful to beat the boss in time. I rubber banded a second controller so it would move to the upper left hand corner and shoot down to the lower right. I actually got a three star without the smart bomb so you can waste a smart bomb on a pink wave so you only need to survive one. If you can survive two pink square spawns you'll be able to get this achievement. Either way, sometimes you're in a bad location so a smart bomb can be required. You'll usually survive because you'll take out and pink square in front of you and any looping smaller squares that spawn can only go to the same side you're firing. I play a lot of Geo Wars and I just take this on faith now. Travel along a wall firing diagonally in front of you. The pink squares might be your hardest wave to beat unscathed. Ideally you cover an area once so it's empty. This lets you cover a bigger area without letting enemies get past your line of fire which happens often if you fire into different directions. Just shoot in a solid straight line and move that firing line left or right. My next piece of advice will sound weird. One of those missions where you need to get into a certain zone. This has a big advantage of herding green squares to either side for quick while protecting your dummy turret. Position your turret in the upper left corner shooting towards the lower right.

I included a failed run to show that I don't think I did anything too wrong in that run but I was just unlucky.Ĭan be difficult. If you start in the center when things get hectic and are forced work your way outwards, you can find yourself in a dead end. Try to start on an outer safe zone by the edge if you can and work your way in to maximize the real estate available to you. Clear a path to a safe zone and get to it when feasible between 'waves'. Once the action really starts a lot of your choices are out of your hands. It also forces you to crisscross the map which results in more geoms. If you can't get to them they're useless so use them up early when you have the freedom to choose. Second try to use errant safe zones by corners by themselves early on. First get as many geoms as you can early on. Some things you can do to stack the odds though. If you get enough safe zones to spawn close enough to each other in the final stretch, you win. I didn't do this in the video but I learned how valuable it was to do in the later missions. In retrospect, if you get the green super state that collects geoms, you might want to use up your smart bombs in the next few waves to immediately get to the next wave and amass the geoms instantly. Run over it to collect the geoms that will inevitably accumulate. Consider the dummy turrent's line of fire a defacto safe zone. If you die reset unless you're at the end and just need a tiny bit more score. Expect this to go down the wire even if you don't die. Have it aim straight down the map to help you clear the mission. Enter the rubberbanded automated second player. Getting geoms is still important but you need as many of the later waves as you can squeezed into this minute and a half mission. The name of the game is the get the next wave to spawn as fast as you can. The issue is that there's not enough time to get a high multiplier and there's not enough enemies to get that multiplier. This was surprisingly difficult to 3 star.
