A QUICK WAY (legal "cheat") to IMPROVE your WASTELAND RANGERS : ============================================================= First, take a quick look at your Rangers, their Skills and Weapons ! Three of the Rangers already have BRAWLING skill, and TWO of them have Level 2 Brawling skills. SWITCH ALL WEAPONS TO CROWBARS. This conserves Ammo until we get better weapons. All you really want now are a LOT OF PROMOTIONS to raise your Rangers' I.Q./Skill and Strength levels. Later raise their other weak attributes to make them "better" rangers. *** After about SIX minutes (and very little fighting) you'll have Four greatly improved Rangers - ST IQ MAX -- -- --- (most other Attributes will Hell Razor 16 24 54 be around a "16" level.) Angela Deth 16 24 53 Thrasher 17 24 60 Snake Vargas 16 24 57 You DON'T even have to go this far, you'll be taking much of the joy out of the game ! Only YOU can decide how far to go ! =================================================== Go to QUARTZ: ============= From Ranger Center, go West, then North along the river to Quartz. Enter Quartz in the North-east corner and follow the street South to the first intersection. There's two buildings with a short "dead-end" street in between them. (USE "Pistols" here if you prefer.) Enter the "dead-end" street, an alley beside the "outlaws hide-out". Kill the "marksmen" in the alley. You may have to USE your MEDIC skills and REST where the "snipers" DON'T "fire at you" ! Use a ROPE in the South-west corner, REST to Full Health BEFORE going up to the "roof", kill the "marksmen" and "outlaws" on the "roof". Just walk "back-and-forth" along the "skylight" to the East ! After about THREE MINUTES, "radio" for your "promotions" and repeat. Now, with your higher I.Q.'s, all of your Rangers' PERCEPTION skills will increase to level "3". Keep repeating until your Rangers reach the level you desire ! ======================================================== There you have it, find a library and acquire any "basic" or "special" skills your Rangers need. Probably better to get MEDIC skill for Hell Razor and DOCTOR skill for Thrasher. Wander around the "desert" and let the Heat injure a "recruit" ! Practice your Medic & Doctor skills until you reach higher skill levels, later you'll be glad you did ! The tougher the ememy, the quicker and higher your fighting skill levels will go ! contributed by a FRIENDLY Desert Ranger !
