Public Service Announcement: If you’re being carried on Malwarefare, don’t camp the bonus while doing nothing to help the objective. And if you’re playing as Grease Monkey Swann, try making some turrets in useful areas. Don’t go all units as they are more expensive. Try, d@mn it, try!!
If you’re being carried, you wouldn’t need to help the objective or really try at all.
That said, I assume you mean the first bonus when armies are still relatively small and one person my have trouble both clearing and defending the second terminal.
The second bonus is usually far enough into the mission where one person can handle things while the other does the bonus.
For Swann P2, that is sage advice. Brutations can be tough enough that it’s better to focus on making towers and getting that down solid. It’s not just resources, but APM too! Swann P2’s job can easily be to just make towers. It was certainly key on some of the previous Mutations we had (ME, and on MO).
However, you may want to make a few Science Vessels since hammering towers leaves you with a surplus of gas.
Ditto for Karax P1. You can make units ofc., but without repair beam nor Unity Barrier, they lose some of the effectiveness. Focus on getting towers going and keeping them maintained! It’s both a resource and APM thing!
A carry isn’t just the other player soloing.
Had another #%#* today lag behind and then at the end stage followed me to a tower and abandoned the transport. I let it die because I was so ticked. I think it’s time for me to step away from playing regularly.
That’s kind of what a carry is. At least that’s the word people use when they ask for someone to solo the mission for them.
