Syndicate - The Big Black (Atlantic Accelerator)

HOW TO EASILY SWEEP ATLANTIC ACCELERATOR IN THREE MINUTES?

Atlantic Accelerator mission - "The Big Black" - was always so hard for me, that i didn't manage to finish Syndicate for a long, long time. I could beat every mission, except this one, and many people had similar problems. After reading a couple of walkthroughs/FAQs i came up with a better idea how to beat this. Simplier, easier, faster. If you just can't beat The Big Black, just follow instructions below. You don't have to be very skilled in playing Syndicate actually, i made a few mistakes when i was recording that video (most notably answering a phone while playing) and i still managed to win with all four agents alive and well.

0. What do you need? Basically you will need a bunch of money to buy the equipment, you will also need all mods researched, along with the laser. Take four agents. Modify them completely to V3 level - everything - and equip everyone with EIGHT LAZORS. If you didn't accumulate money through the game, you may have a problem - the lasers alone cost approximately 1,120,000. If you have met all the requirements, start the mission.

1. PAUSE THE GAME AS FAST AS YOU CAN. This will save you some time, really, you should already know that enemy agents will start attacking you within miliseconds.

2. Move the cursor over "select all" button.

3. UNPAUSE the game, CLICK the BUTTON AS FAST AS YOU CAN and PAUSE immediately!

4. Move the mouse cursor over the map (NOT the MINIMAP of course!).

5. UNPAUSE and ENTER PANICK MODE as fast as you can (Left+Right mouse buttons).

6. If you aren't dead already, then enemies are, or will be soon enough. Move the squad to the easternmost (rightmost) corner of the helipad.

7. Wait 'till the music calms.

8. Go a bit northwest, avoiding standing by the buildings, keep to the open terrain and ramps, so you will have a wide, far and clean line of fire. If music indicates that agents are coming, immediately find a good place to stand and shoot, then wait till the music calms again. Repeat this until you find yourself near a tower with two guards on it.

9. Snipe the guards from away with a single agent and regrup.

10. Move further northeast till you find a building with an UBER-AGENT inside. He is walking circles inside and doesn't chase you, so be cool.

11. Move your squad in front of the building entrance, but not close enough for the doors to open.

12. Move one of the agents towards the door, so they would open. There will be a shootout, in which you should triumph, because LAZOR means INSTA-KILL, but if the UBER-AGENT pushes you out with minigun bursts, then regroup outside of his line of fire and wait for your agents' health to replenish and repeat steps 11 - 12.

13. If UBER-AGENT is dead, most probably he was the last one, so MISSION ACCOMPLISH.

14. Press SPACE immediately. Or not so fast, if you prefer.

15. Watch the credits. Or maybe not.

16. ?????

17. PROFIT!!!

@birthdaybrian

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

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!

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

LOL WUT

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.

[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

[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.

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