Industrial Sabotage Guide: Class Tactics for Success

Combat Summary

Industrial Sabotage demands sharp Class Tactics and coordination from every Dwarf. Leverage each class’s strengths to break the Caretaker and its Robot Enemies.

• Engineer: Establish defensive turrets and platforms to create safe zones and control choke points, especially against swarming bots.
• Scout: Prioritize high-threat targets like Shredders and Patrol Bots, and be ready to zip in for rapid revives or weak point exposure.
• Driller: Utilize terrain manipulation for cover, quick escapes, safe revive tunnels, or the infamous Driller Strat to reposition power cells or teammates.
• Gunner: Deliver consistent, heavy damage to the Caretaker, focusing on weak points, and use your shield for crucial team protection during heavy fire or revives.

This Mission Guide focuses on practical advice to turn the tide in one of Hoxxes’ toughest assignments.

Engineer Deployment

An Engineer’s primary role in Industrial Sabotage is battlefield control and defense. Turrets are non-negotiable for handling the constant waves of Patrol Bots and Shredders, freeing up your team to focus on the Caretaker. Place turrets strategically to cover approach lanes or create crossfires. Platforms are essential for reaching power box weak points, creating pathways across chasms, or offering elevated firing positions. Always aim to make little bubbles of relative safety for your team.

Scout Priority Targets

Speed and precision are the Scout’s advantage. While other classes pin down the Caretaker, your job is dynamic target prioritization. Zip to the Caretaker’s weak points when exposed for maximum damage, but constantly sweep the arena for high-threat Robot Enemies like Patrol Bots or the dreaded Shredders that distract your team. Quick revives are also critical; your grappling hook allows you to reach fallen Dwarves in dangerous spots faster than anyone.

Driller’s Advantage

The Driller is the ultimate problem solver in Industrial Sabotage. Need a power box relocated from a dangerous spot? Drill it down. Need cover from heavy fire? Drill a tunnel. Need to safely revive a teammate? Dig them out of enemy line-of-sight. The Driller Strat for this mission involves creating tunnels for escape routes, repositioning objectives, or creating defensible positions. Your drills and C4 can quickly clear obstacles or create tactical advantages that no other class can.

Gunner’s Heavy Hitter

As a Gunner, the Caretaker is your primary target. Your weapons are designed for sustained damage on large, mostly stationary foes. Lay down suppressing fire on the Caretaker’s eyes and arms to break them quickly. Your Shield Generator is a game-changer; deploy it to protect teammates during power box phases, when reviving, or to give the team a safe space to regroup and unleash damage. Don’t underestimate its defensive and offensive capabilities in this mission type.

Mission Tactics Overview

Each phase of the Caretaker fight requires specific Class Tactics. During the initial power box phase, focus on clearing waves of bots and exposing the Caretaker’s power boxes. Use your team’s collective firepower to destroy the boxes, then prepare for the Caretaker’s main attack phase. When it reveals its eye, unleash everything you have. The Industrial Sabotage mission challenges coordination, but with these strategies, you’ll be one step closer to success against Robot Enemies.

Miner’s Chatter

Community feedback often highlights the challenge of managing adds and the Caretaker’s various defenses. Many Dwarves find the mission frustrating due to the relentless Robot Enemies and the need for constant movement and awareness. Common tips include prioritizing Shredders, using terrain to block line-of-sight for bots, and saving shields/drills for critical moments. The value of clear communication for target calls and shield placement is frequently emphasized in discussions about this Mission Guide.
