Syndicate - The Big Black (Atlantic Accelerator)

[LiezAllLiez]

Oh sweet titty fuck... this mission was fucking impossible!

[CurtisSpiers]

did this with all miniguns as i recall :) good method though.

[VenomFrogX]

All lasers + panic mode = The way to go

Poo to energy shields. :P

[Banano79]

One of the finest games ever made. Such a pity that nowadays Molyneux proclaims his creepy paedophile simulator as the future, whereas the rest of us know the future is cybernetic implants and a fucking minigun hidden under your coat.

[S0ryiu]

I don't think I've ever seen someone manage to keep their entire team in panick mode successfully before.

[RamStrikk]

I've been playing games since this 1st came out and it's still in my top 5. One of the best ever.

[jamba215]

took me over 15 Years to seen the end of this mission... it was well worth it! :-)

[FickJaIchLiebeKiffen]

How to beat this hella easy. 7x shields for each agent, one flamethrower. Let them all stack shooting bullets at a near agents. Find out which agent doesn't have aggro or the least aggro, have him step away from the stack and burn 40 agents with a flame thrower. Wash, rinse, and repeat for the whole level.

[flobbingdonkey]

this game is kind of like a futuristic commando's i guess

[birthdaybrian]

whats that sound at 1:53

[TheDreamWeb]

@birthdaybrian

It's a quite common sound effect in Syndicate, as I recall - doors opening, I think.

[xxxx85]

Funny how when you played Syndicate, this mission stood out like the insanely difficult one among them all.

Then, when you got American Revolt, Atlantic Accelerator is actually quite easy! :)

I did geek my way through all of American Revolt (without cheats) a couple of years ago.. Definetly among the most fun (and challenging) games I've played!

[decder]

Yeah, there was a bug where you could just stand still in the beginning of the mission and wait. Enemy agents will run up to you, "on top of you" and freeze. Then you can just take your agents, walk away from the stack and a single laser shot will eliminate all the agents.

[IceFire1800]

finally get to see what the hell is up with the Atlantic Accelerator

[Nyk84]

the video poster did the best method, just laser it up and hold out until you need to hunt the last ones down...on american revolt however thats a different story :P

[ryugacooking]

I just beat this mission! Here's how I did it:

4 Agents (2 Fully Modded and 2 Unmodded)

Modded agents have shields and lasers

Unmodded agents have timebombs and lasers.

Battle starts, modded agents turn on energy shields. Unmodded agents and enemies get blown to bits; exploded from the timebombs.

You now have two modded agents with lasers to finish the mission. If you run out of rounds, go back to the bodies to get more lasers.

[LaMoncha]

This game was soo great... but Did you finish the atlantic accelerator mission in the american revolt expansion? :S That was heluva tought... the agents own the accelerator and are located in the guard towers !! much more difficult.. plus the air raid con coming from the military forces :O

[TheDreamWeb]

No, I have aquired the American Revolt just recently, and I'm mentally preparing to finally try it. I've heard it is insanely difficult, but if I'll find an easy way to beat a hard mission in AR, I'll be sure to record it and post it, thanks!

[MudRat02]

I did once finish this mission only with the minigun, however, if you dont play your hand *perfect* at the start and they get a shot in, you'll be taking bullets in the back corner until all four of your agents are toast

[spiffitz]

They way I recall passing this level is giving shields to the two front agents and lasers all around. The shielded agents would block the enemy shots but your agents behind them can shoot through them with the lasers.

I was rummaging through my parents' basement this week and found the box to this game!

[stu99sjw]

This mission was so simple. Kit agents with 3 lasers each, then miniguns, then lasers if need be. Or medikits. Or a cuddly toy. As soon as the mission starts, right click (and hold) on the middle bar, then click the left mouse button. This starts panic mode, explained in the manual. Sit back with a nice tea or coffee or beer, and destroy the remainder to your heart's content: use flamethrower at corners or gauss guns for distance. Or miniguns :-) Or energy shield plus self destruct :-o

[teemuruskeepaa]

The Atlantic Accelerator might power up the Atlantic Ocean current to keep the flow of heat going to evade immediate ice age in 21st century

[TheDreamWeb]

LOL WUT

[mars4ever]

For solving this mission I use energy shields (three are necessary) first, I run between the enemies so they kill most of them each other! After that, I can eliminate the survivors in a very less critical situation (for example I can hide myself behind a building and use the flamer).

[S3nd41]

Damn, I used to love this game : )

[WarDawg1986]

Then use guass gun or mini gun to kill guards in that guard building. You can get couple mini guns and other equipment. Then, ambush the other half of enemy agents at the bridge adjacent to that guardhouse. Then, kill last agent that runs around in circle by simply going in there.

[WarDawg1986]

Um, I beat this scenario with only one agent. All you do is buy him an energy shield, 2 mini-guns, 2 guass guns, and couple lasers. The trick at start is to turn on the energy shield at start. The enemy agents will shoot at each other once grouping up, exactly where you are standing. Turn off energy shield once 4-5 agents stand there, otherwise the energy shield will be dead. After everyone groups there, move back a little bit and zap the agents (20-30) with one laser shot.

[WarDawg1986]

Do you know how the Access Card works? I thought it was useless.

[LaMoncha]

yeppp i never figure it our!!!

[aceyage]

Amazing, amazing game. The atmosphere is still unparalleled.

And I had a real love/hate relationship with that level.

[Horszt]

err... no. it's a lot easier to buy some shields and let the agents kill each other. add a laser, 2 medi-kits and a rocket launcher for the guards and / or a minigun and you should be fine.

[rckljohnson]

Where is the pause button? I didn't know this game had one. I've played the whole game just fine withone one (except here) ,lol.

[rckljohnson]

Nvr mind, it doesn't matter; I won anyways :P

[TheDreamWeb]

I can't remember right now, but did you ever try "P" or "Pause|Break" on the keyboard? ;p

[JunuQillyulaa]

hey good work well done

[tom769780gg]

ha haaa cool

[AndreaJamesp56]

lol that cool man

[PathuimaMada]

hey good work well done

[tahitifab]

there is a much more simple way to succeed this level, exploiting a bug of the game.

just buy medickits for all agents.

then, autodestruc & instant heal w/ medikits, your agents are still alive!!do it till the end...

[mefistotelis]

Easy and effective. Nice one.

The only weak point of this solution is when you'll get out of ammo, you're finished. But it is more effective way than hiding behind shields.

[TheDreamWeb]

Thanks. This has been tested - If you have enough money to fully equip everyone in lasers, then you shouldn't have problems with ammo.
