Street Hunting

Lee's Diary:

The last few days have been busy. I have been getting lots of streethunting missions. I seem to have fought everything from Outcasts in Boomtown to Vazilok in Faultline. Most of the missions haven't been too bad but the Vaz one sent me to the hospital. Faultline is tough for me right now but luckily I was asked to test a new taser weapon and that helped me clear up my last few street missions.

I have to go. I am off to a dance put on by Teen Hero magazine.

Tactics:

Street hunting missions can be tough because the enemies aren't geared for a character's level. Enemies and levels are determined by the neighbourhoods in each zone. They may be five or more levels above or below your character's.

If the enemies are your level or lower then the street missions will be easier but you'll get less experience. If the enemies are too tough you can drop the mission or combine it with a "doorway" (inside) mission. Police scanner missions are good for this.

Missions come in various types:

1. Defeat # of [enemy].
2. Defeat # of [enemy] in [zone].
3. Defeat # of [enemy] in [neighbourhood] of [zone]. - this one can be difficult and sometimes you need to make the villains chase you into the right area.

Combining missions - If you get a regular mission or another street hunting mission with the same villain group your 'kills' count for both missions as long as the zone and neighbourhood requirements are met. You can also combine missions with other players if you are on a team. (This works for all missions you have in common).

Temporary powers - Sometimes you get temporary powers for a mission. They can help you finish a tough street hunting mission. Bubblegummer had to test a taser against a villain type. He used it for all of his street hunting in Faultline and then finished the mission it was supplied for. When he called his contact the power disappeared. I'm not sure he would have survived without the taser so holding off calling was a great idea.
