RQ: Raiden IV Overkill Mission 2 Meteorite Breaker trophy

[Furry Fox Jet Pilot]

Has anyone actually managed to destroy 1000 or more meteorites in Mission 2? It seems almost impossible. What ship and weapon combo is the best to use? Also what strategies are useful? I find that letting the meteor cannons live longer works better obviously since more meteors are on the screen at a time. The closest I've got is 950.

I'm not an expert with this version, but if spread is an issue I would've thought having Vulcan (red) + Homing Missiles (green H) would nail them down if it was a matter of coverage. Radar missiles will go awry with lots of targets last I checked, so either Homing to get anything that goes outside the Vulcan spread or plain Nuclear for the extra forward punch would be the most help.

Bomb at the end to kill a shit load of meteors and you're right, let the dispensers shoot out enemies. Use Wide shot exclusively with Missiles. You can do it! Default ship.

I think I'm better off with regular missiles, since radar and homing always go for the launchers and destroy them when my intention is to keep them alive.

Thanks for the tips!, I'll give it another try soon
