Datacore

We’ve lauded the benefits of the AR grenades, and Datacore is a case in point. Datacore can be dominated with this weapon. Previous skeptic and OFC member Expulsar now picks up grenades like they were crack vials, and I urge you to do the same.

There are three spots to pick up grenades: By the “core” (pictured), in the lower room opposite the first aid station, and on the inner ledge in the small hallway. Stock up and rain AR grenades like an unholy fire. Switch to the shotgun when roaming the tight corridors for that up-close and personal touch.

A second, less honorable, strategy is to fill up on HEV armor on your unsuspecting opponents. A well-timed longjump (you’ll need the longjump pack from the center of the upper catwalk) will take you from the laddered platform to the HEV platform. You may also tau jump onto this platform. For your efforts you’ll also be awarded with a rocket launcher. Be warned: The sound of the activated HEV unit will alert people to your location. Go beneath the stairs where the crossbow is located for an extra rocket.

GODLIKE STRATEGY

In the main upper room with the single armor cell and first aid station, there’s a semi open ceiling with two recessed areas (one contains two rocket shells). With the rocket launcher in your possession, tau jump into the recessed area by warming up the tau cannon well and discharging it at the ground. Your back should be facing the destination area and you want to point the tau a bit in front of your feet, rather than straight down. Once you’re up there, unleash rockets on anyone attempting to pick up the armor cell or machinegun.
