  • It is best RTA to pace out your grenade throws, so that you have a better chance of stunning the Machine Gun and opening up the upper cannons.
  • When Machine Guns are flashing, Gander can choose to use the upper turrets, use UAVs, or fire missiles (when it reaches a low enough HP)
  • If a grenade is thrown onto Gander on Fl 98 or Fl 99, it will deal 4 damage at the start of Body per throw. Video shown below.

Missile Discussion

  • Missiles track you based on your initial X/Y Coordinates1) when the first whoosh noise is played.
  • But, later missiles in the sequence check your X/Y Coordinates again, so don't get lazy and stand still
  • 3 missiles fire from the left, 3 fire from the right. The order (e.g. L, L, R, R, L, R, etc.) is not set.
  • You can somewhat manipulate the missiles based on your initial position, but don't only rely on that.
  • Even if you do manipulate based on the initial position, the first missile could come out quickly and hit you.
  • IGT Abuse by pausing can be very helpful to give you time to study the radar and the incoming missiles on screen.
  • It is better to be below a missile than above. A missile will not do damage if they fly through Snake's head. But they will do damage if they fly through his body or legs.
