Loaded Metal is a fast paced defensive shooter styled game where you are in control of a high tech military truck. You might have difficulty controlling the automobile if you are a novice to online games as vehicle control in games is a great deal more difficult then character control. The story of this game is that the military was aware of an upcoming strike on our country, so you and some of your best men were sent off to stop the attack, but it failed. You were able to flee to base, where you must upgrade your vehicle with weapons in order to stop the enemy assault. In order to win you must be able to hold off the enemy for 20 days without dying. The controls are as followed: Arrows keys to move, or WASD keys. Space or click to fire.

Upgrades!

Of course the upgrades! The best part of any game, and this one isn't short of a few awesome upgrades. There are 13 upgrades in total. Some are one time buys and others can be upgraded multiple times. Here is a complete list of upgrades:

Durable Bumper: Costs 100, isn't upgradable.
Chrome Bumper: Costs 200, isn't upgradable.
**Spiked Bumper: Costs 350, isn't upgradable.
Turn Radius: Costs 75, is upgradable.
Rocket Boost: Costs 250, isn't upgradable.
**Turret: Costs 125, is upgradable.
**Mines: Costs 200, is upgradable.
**Armor Plating: Costs 125, is upgradable.
Health: Costs 75, isn't upgradable, but can be bought multiple times
**Gun Man: Costs 150, is upgradable.
**Power Core: Costs 250, isn't upgradable.
Gold Bullet: Costs 175, isn't upgradable.
**Split Shot: Costs 200, isn't upgradable.

The ones that I placed the ** next to are the upgrades I feel that are most important. The spiked bumper is good for killing all foot soldiers with one hit, and for inflicting good damage on vehicles when they hit you. The gunman and the turret are important to destroying vehicles so you don't have to rely on just ramming them because you take damage that way. Mines are efficient tank and car killers, so you need some of those. The power core makes your bullets ALOT stronger, so spend some money in that. Split shot is great also, if you can get all 3 bullets to hit one enemy then you are inflicting massive damage, and it's good crowd control in case you have a bunch of enemies in front of you, then you can damage them all. Armor plating helps you not to die as easily, but mainly it makes you look awesome, so upgrade that. The rest are important too, I just found the ones I liked best and put the ** next to them. You may want rocket boost so you can go a lot faster and cause additional ramming damage, or have a better turn radius so you can be more proficient when turning around and shooting those bothersome enemy jeeps.

Strategies/Game Help

If you look in the upgrades section I talked a good bit about using the upgrades, so that can be considered part of the strategies section. But here is my quick guide for the full game. The game starts off easy with a small number of enemies, so I recommend buying the gun man and upgrade some of it's damage, then just ride around the game field and pick off enemies as they show up. Begin investing in a turret, some kind of better bumper, and split shot by the time opposing jeeps begin to show up, ramming them just isn't as proficient. You should buy some mines so it's easier to kill the jeeps, the mines take away a good portion of their health so they can be destroyed much quicker. If you get low on health of course buy some health but make sure to buy some armor plating too so it's harder to die. At this point you should be doing okay, the combination of your gun man, your turret, and mines should be hurting the enemy jeeps decently. Once the tanks start to show up you will be in trouble though. MAKE SURE NOT TO GET STUCK UNDER THE TANK OR IT WILL RUN YOU OVER AND DESTROY YOU. Get a power core so you can waste away those beastly tanks. Just make sure to keep upgrading your weapons and don't die of course and you should be able to succeed. Good Luck and remember this is just my viewpoint on how to win, there are many other methods and upgrade combinations. Play around in the free play mode to see what upgrades suit you best.
