Easily complete Mission 13

Walk to the water and swim. Let all the ants gather around you.
Eventually you will be able to walk on top of them and they cannot
attack you. Just run around and shoot at your feet and they will
eventually die. You can do this on the Inferno difficulty setting and
get the mega powered weapons early.

I think you're thinking of a different mission. This one has spiders in
it, and lots of them.

I also mined weapons on the Tsuagawa level, just go on the right side
of the TAnk on the hill overlooking the beach and use a homing missle
weapon . The walkers on the beach can't hit you 'mostly' . If you do
it just right you can just stand there and keep hitting them with the
homing missles and wait for them to die. Then when JUST ONE walker is
left(don't kill him) ,be careful' but go down to the beach and pick up
the weapon boxes,but be carefull and watch out for the ;LAST WALKER, I
used this level to get lots of weapons. Just keep an eye on the HUD
for one last red dott, that will let you know you have just one walker
left. If you want you can lure the walker away from the beach and
quickly run down to the beach to pick up the weapon drops. I managed
to stand to the side of the Tank 'just right and the walkers couldn't
damage me. BUT watch out for the Big Blast they have as it will kill
you pretty quick.

This didn't work well either. I ran to the far right relative to your
starting position, firing off my best tracking missiles. The walkers
eventually started massing in front of the hill - it was funny to watch
their heads bobbing up on down. Unfortunately, my stupid missiles would
only impact the hill - not the walkers. Worse still, due to this game's
great collision detection, the walkers' machine guns were able to shoot me
from below - through the mountain! Then a couple of walkers managed to
climb the mountain and started stomping down the road after me and I was,
well, toast.


There's also a level (i forgot the name), it's where the ANTS attack
you in a small canyon from both sides . Just set up a turret and get a
good assault rifle and keep blasting away. This was the level that was
my fav overall for mining weapons.

This is level 40 "Return". You get swarmed by 2 groups of red ants. I
couldn't do it on Inferno, but I did manage to do it on Hardest using my
best turret and flame thrower. I got lucky. It gave me the Super Acid Gun.
This allowed me to survive the level on Inferno. I've managed to get 15
weapons from this stage so far...I'm at 148. Finally got a good assault
rifle (AF-99) and the penultimate rocket launcher. Together, I'll manage
to finish Hard soon, and probably a good chunk of Hardest and Inferno.
However I can already see that things are just going to get really
annoying in Inferno... It'll be a bunch of creeping around, and sniper
shots with the rocket launcher or a Lysander sniper rifle... I don't know
how to deal with spiders on Inferno though.... They're just insane. I
can easily see why you need so much health just to survive longer than 10
seconds in some of the missions. Unfortunately I only have around 5100.
Only 4000(?) to go. What's the maximum? 9999 like Final Fantasy? ;)

In the meantime...HAHAHA! Take THAT you stupid ants! And that! And some
of this! And a rocket! (aaah! captain's dead!)
