Hooligans go to Dubai (Videos)

I did these videos a while back when Maelstrom's Hooligans were 34. They are a bit stronger again now at 36 and I have a set as well (currently 30 at the time of this post) for your borrowing pleasure.

Here are some videos showing how you can use borrowed hooligans only to get points in Dubai.

As with all my videos, they are pretty amateurish and hacky, but you get what you pay for ;-)!


















 As you'll see in the vidoes, you really need to have flare (preferably with at least Strobe Light research completed so you have a decent dodge) and drone geyser unlocked (so you can get those pesky units behind walls).

I find soloing with Hooligans pretty fun and easy to do on fast-forward. I'd recommend that if you can, you use Hooligans in their mid-thirties or higher and be level 35 yourself.

Other strategies for Dubai - Punks and Hooligans

Honestly, I'm not sure yellow and black
leggings would be my first fashion
choice if I were starting a gang....

I've been playing around with Ace's level 36 Hooligans and have found they are getting pretty respectable scores all by themselves in Dubai Expert.

Most of the time, I've gotten all three rewards and get around 1500-1600.

Some tips if you want to borrow them and have a go:

• Use flare often to help increase their dodge
• Use drone geyser to put the hooligans in walled off areas with commando or desperado type units

One advantage I've found with using the borrowed hooligans only as they are much easier to play with on fast-forward than explosive units, which often need to be used with precision, or full teams, where you have a number of units to be thinking about. I also got consistently higher points than with a level 30 doomsday/killaton only. So if your level is mid-30s or above, have a go.

Punks working the more classic
red/black regalia

Matty has been playing with my L40 punks. He's found that, when accompanied by a team of level 1 units, he can regularly get a perfect score on Dubai Expert. Those units are two L1 foreman (to take care of buildings), a L1 reanimator and an L1 mortician. You've probably got these units, so this is worth a try. You might need to be L40 or above for this to work well. Let us know how you go, so we can add in information about the limits of these strategies :-).
