Getting gold
Village presents one of the few levels that’s nearly impossible solo because there’s so much distance to cover and the enemies spawn so close to the objectives. This gold guide assumes the cooperation of at least two players. Getting gold here requires a very strict synergy: Gun Trench places a dampener on both sides of B (one covering the left-mid path, one covering the far left and A path), one for E and one for D. Keeping those dampeners close to B and D are essential to bait the Burst Transmitters so they don’t destroy your larger investments (flak/MG turrets). Gun Trench should also stay near the center where his/her range will best be taken advantage of. Use the rocks to avoid the Snipe Tuner, leave it for last. When the Volt Droppers show up, focus all fire on them, don’t let them bomb any objectives, especially on the last round.
Turret Trench is the squirrel of Village, running back and forth placing Flak turrets (one left, one mid, one right, all behind a dampener) and upgrading dampeners. Placing MG Turrets is doable, so is Mortars or Mine Layers, but there isn’t much scrap to go around on Village (or there probably is but it’s hiding under the water, which is beautiful) so focusing on flak placements and dampener upgrades is absolutely essential. While Gun Trench stays central for the most part, Turret Trench needs to run the field cleaning up after turrets and taking out the enemies that Gun Trench isn’t focused on. With all the aerial enemies, it’s easy to let a resistor or two slip by, and it’s Turret Trench’s job to catch them, especially when the sonic worms come up. Keep the upgrades steady and the coverage smooth and Village gold will be yours.
