I'm not a total master at this game who who has like the top five scores on the highscores, but I'm good enough to share some helpful tips with those who are having trouble.
First off, the first time you play or if your trying to get highscores you should try all the weapons and see which ones work best. While some weapons are better than others, sometimes a personal opinion can be the over ruling factor. What I mean by this is that you should choose the weapons that you like and feel right to you. While there really are no good or bad weapons, here is the general overview of Thing Thing Arena 3's weapons. The weapons of not only this game, but of all the games can be divided into different sub categories. The first (and weakest) sub category of weapons is the pistols. The pistols have a lot of ammo, making them a trusty sidearm. However, they have a slow rate of fire and do not do very much damage, so swap it for a new weapon when you get the chance. The next category is the sub machine guns. The sub machine guns have a great rate of fire but lack accuracy and damage. However, they are a good weapon to have if nothing else is available. The third category is the standard and regular machine guns. These don't have quite as high of a rate of fire as the sub machine guns but have better accuracy and do more damage. Next is the shotguns. They are powerful, but are offset by their slow reloads, slow rate of fire, and inability to carry lots of ammo at a time. The last category is the heavy weapons. You should always, if possible, have one of these all the time. Great damage, most of them have fair rates of fire considering how powerful they are, and they can hold a considerable amount of ammo. For weapons I reccommend having a heavy weapon and a sub machine gun or regular machine gun. Any of the machine guns will do, and for the heavy weapons you should have the gun that looks like a rifle but shoots a powerful lazer instead. This can kill enemies in two hits, carries up to 60 shots, and can damage an enemy through another enemy. The last weapon sub category only contains one weapon, because it is unique from all of the other weapons. This weapon is the harpoon gun, a semi automatic rifle that can shoot harpoons relatively quickly at oncoming enemies. While it doesn't pack much of a punch, it only takes a few harpoons to down an enemy, and carries lots of ammo. I found myself using it a lot for the last two reasons.
The following is a few helpful tips I discovered. The first one is that if you have a weapon that's out of ammo or you simply don't want, press space bar when an enemy is in close proximity. You will automatically chuck the weapon at the enemy, stunning them and simultaneously inflicting a small amount of damage. While this is one of the more obvious tricks this can ultimately help you conserve and save precious ammo for when it is really needed. Also, don't feel afraid to switch to your lead pipe! I think it has been upgraded and now does more damage, plus it has infinite ammo and can't be discarded or lost. Sometimes, it works if you chuck an empty gun at an enemy and then bash their brains out with the lead pipe, and you don't have to use a single bullet! Another tip is that if you are low on health or ammo, you should always know where it can be found. My strategy is to find a place where there is health and ammo and then camp their for a while, racking up lots of kills. As soon as I'm low on health and ammo once again I move to the next area which contains health and ammo and do the same thing. This is especially useful in conjunction with the laser gun. I also found that using the grenade launcher was great for camping out, since every time a group of enemies came to close I would just shoot a grenade, watch the area become green with toxic gas, and then watch triumphantly as my enemies melted before my eyes and lay as a heaping pile of bones. If you have any other questions or need a full list of the weapons leave a comment on my profile. Have fun!
1. When you start the game, identify where all the enemies spawn. This information is excellent for spawn camping, which will boost your score. 2. Next, identify all the safe points. Unless you're playing arena mode, in which case there is no cover, there are typically several spots in which the AI is too dumb to reach. When you're wounded, make your way to these spots and stay there to recover your health. 3. Tavor + Laser Rifle: My personal favorite. The Tavor has a very fast rate of fire with very little spread. As a result, spray it at a spawn point, then use your Laser Rifle to finish off the stragglers. 4. Mine Thrower + Tavor/Dual Berettas: The mine thrower, as an explosive, can eliminate multiple enemies at a time, but ammo is quite limited, which is where the Tavor or Berettas come into play. 5. Dual Lever-Action Shotguns + Dual Berettas: For the dual wielding enthusiast, this is the combo to go for. However, the spread of the Lever-Action Shotties and their small size makes it so that you have to get close for a one-shot kill, making later levels with a lot of enemies much harder. Not recommended for high scores. 6. Pump-Action Shotgun + Tavor: You might ask how the pump-action has an advantage over the lever-actions, if they have the same damage. Simple, the pump-action is a longer weapon, so you can keep your enemies farther away for one-shot hits. Still, this is hazardous. 7. Laser Rifle + Glock 18: I'm not a fan of the Glock because they're hugely inaccurate, but used correctly their fast reload and rate of fire will overwhelm foes. Combine with the long-range Laser Rifle and you got yourself a great combo! 8. Don't be afraid to use your pipe. There is a point where you are so close to the enemy that they can't shoot you. Since they don't have melee attacks, they are completely at your mercy; use the pipe to bludgeon them to death and get loads of points.
i feel the arrow gun is an exelent wepon. you can fire quickly and reload fast. i tend to have dual smg pistols off hand so if there are alot of people you can take them down.
I always use the grenade dart weapon, and the pump shotgun. Using the grenade darts, you can easily get midair headshots and kills. All you need to do is shoot them in the head and double jump. The pump shotgun is, as parsat said, a longer weapong, and it is also a very useful weapon when you are on the run. Running straight through scoring a couple headshots while you are on the way is an excellent way to get a high score on the charts.
I think lead pipe is the most dangerous weapon and if used well, you can be invinsible. Combine with execution god-mode when you are unable to be hit by the enemies, you can regain your health like 1.5 bar each execution. Aslo, execution act as a trap, because when the enemies come closer to shoot you, they usually stand close together and form a group, become easy kill for the lead pipe. I quad-kill countless time with the lead pipe by this trick. The only thing that are dangerous about this is the enemies with mine launcher, they should not be close because they can shoot right after you finish your execution and deal a large amount of damage to you.Try to finish them with gun first or execute them first.
And I forgot, the enemies aim at your foot, so stand very close to them and they will just shoot at the ground, exelent for lead pipe attack. If you are not playing arena, try to get the enemies spawn on somewhere above you and wait for then to drop down directly on you, then smash their heads away with lead pipe!
Another thing that I forgot...sorry for my bad memory...You can reload when doing execution, which means transforming the time when you are most vulnerable to god-mode, but you need to be fast, and this is almost impossible for shot guns and magnum
