Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 Be Quick or be Dead mission walkthrough. Unlock the Rocket Angel and beat the Insane difficulty.
Walkthrough
- 1As the Soviets: Build three Engineers, two Terror Drones, and two Twinblades. Use one Engineer to capture the Oil Derrick to the south. Put a Drone and Engineer in each Twinblade.
- 2Send the first Twinblade to Oleg's base and the second to Takara's base. If any Burst Drones touch any Twinblades, retry the mission.
- 3Drop off the passengers; the Terror Drones will infect the MCVs.
- 4Use an Engineer to capture Takara's Dojo.
- 5Use the Vacuum Imploder on Oleg's Barracks.
- 6Finish off Hill, then what's left of Oleg and Takara.
- 7As the Allies: Send in a Pacifier FAV to bomb Takara's Base. Use Harbinger Gunships to kill off any Units.
- 8As the Imperials: Rush some Striker-VXs to the bases.
- 9Helix25's Imperial Strategy: Start with a full base and Superweapons. Send two Dojo Cores, 1 Tankbuster, and 1-2 Warriors southeast toward Takara's base and the same north toward Hill's base. Use the Tankbuster to destroy the Derrick northwest of Takara's base. Deploy cores on the western edge of Takara's base, guarded by the Warriors. Create 1-2 Warriors and then a bunch of Tankbusters. Destroy her Dojo, then her Mecha Bay core, then her MCV. Wipe up the rest of her base.
- 10Simultaneously, build Tankbusters at the Dojos near Hill's base and use the Warriors to bushido charge Hill's infantry. Destroy his Boot Camp and Armour Facility.
- 11While assaulting Hill and Takara, build 1 Engineer at your main base to capture the southern Oil Derrick. Tech up to level 2 at the Mecha Bay for Strikers and level 3 at your Dojo for Yuriko. Build Strikers to defend against Oleg's Mortar Cycles, Sickles/Stingrays. Use the Nanoswarm Hive to stop large rushes.
- 12Once Takara's base is destroyed, return veteran troops to your main base for defense against Oleg's Sickle force. Do the same after crushing Hill's base.
- 13Create a Sudden Transport, disguise it, and move it across the water to the east side of Oleg's base to avoid Bears. Send your VX force east as a distraction while Yuriko wipes out Oleg's base.
- 14SoMeBoDy's Soviet Strategy: Build a Barracks next to the Airfield. Make all production structures rally to the same spot. Train 3 Engineers in the first Barracks and 2 in the second. Send the first Engineer to capture the Oil Derrick to the south. Build 3 Terror Drones and a Sputnik and 4 Apocalypses after the War Factory is constructed. Build 3 Twinblades and a MiG after the Airfield is constructed. Set all Engineers to hold fire.
Tips
- The par time for this mission is 11:06.
- FutureTech starts out with full technology.
- The enemy AI is ultra aggressive and seems to have almost unlimited credits. Leaving them alone for any period is suicide.
- Hill favors light vehicles and infantry. Takara uses massive infantry. Oleg uses light vehicles only, especially Sickles and Mortar Cycles.
- If you can't rush, beating this mission under par is nigh impossible.
- A massive VX rush is a suggested alternative if rushing is difficult. First take out Takara, then Hill, then Oleg.
- Alternatively, play Soviets and mass a large Apocalypse rush against each base: first Hill, then Takara, and then Oleg.
- Careful use of your Superweapon is essential; you will get at best 1 shot to beat it under par, so make it count.
