Brutal Outbreak Walkthough for StarCraft II
Notes: This mission tests your macro and micro abilities. The days are 3 minutes and nights are 4.5 minutes, giving you less of a window to destroy the infested buildings. This mission took me just under an hour (54 minutes) to complete. It can probably be done sooner. Always upgrade and use your mercenaries.
Strategy: Build heavy defense and mass Hellions.
Walk though:
Tip: Use the “Hold” command (“H” on your keyboard) for your Firebats so they don’t go running off into a huge pile of the infested. Silly Firebats. If you use them for the buildings, remember to tell them to “Hold” when you bring them back to the base.
Start off building a bunker at each entrance point right away. Place a Firebat and 2 marines in each, leaving the SCV there for repairs. Once day breaks, head north to clear out the buildings. Start north because there are no defenses in these northern areas. Once 30 seconds hits, direct your guys back to your base and replace defenders if you used them on the infested buildings. Once you’re able to produce Hellions, keep them in production and link them to your hotbar. You should have both refineries pumping to be able to mass Hellions.
Day 2: You should have 2 bunkers at each point. Make sure you have room in between them to get your Hellions out. If they get destroyed, just rebuild.
Night 2: Build two bunkers at the southern entrance and place defenders there. Once they start coming from that point they don’t mess around.
Keep this up and just repeat the day/night attack/defend method. There is a mineral crop to the north east you can use if you’re getting low on minerals. I didn’t use it on this mission, but if you do, you’ll need to put some defenders there.
