Plan your next Fortified session
Our independent guide breaks down Fortified’s layered systems, helping you master both the shooter and strategy aspects. By examining each component—from class selection to base construction—you’ll learn how to blend aggression with planning, turning chaotic Martian assaults into manageable challenges.
01 / THE GUIDE
Class Synergy
Compare the jetpack heroine’s mobility with the Marine captain’s firepower. Test scenarios where one provides aerial cover while the other holds ground, noting how their strengths complement each other.
- Switch between shooting and building as enemy waves approach.
- Observe enemy patterns to decide when to prioritize firepower or construction.
02 / THE GUIDE
Tower Placement Theory
Map out choke points on the city layout and experiment with different tower types. Observe which configurations stop waves most efficiently and record the results.
- Select the jetpack hero for rapid repositioning across the battlefield.
- Use the Marine captain when sustained firepower is needed.
03 / THE GUIDE
Co‑op Role Division
Assign each teammate a dedicated role—builder, sniper, frontline, support—and play several matches. Evaluate how clear responsibilities affect wave survival rates.
- Communicate building zones to avoid overlapping structures.
- Synchronize attacks when a large wave appears.
04 / THE GUIDE
Controller vs Keyboard
Run identical missions using a controller and then a keyboard/mouse setup. Note any differences in reaction time, aiming precision, and building speed.
- Place towers at choke points to maximize coverage.
- Consider spacing structures to create overlapping fields of fire.
05 / THE GUIDE
Achievement Pathing
Review the Steam achievement list and plan a playthrough that targets specific milestones, such as completing a wave without building. Track progress to see which tasks align with your play style.
- Enable Steam Cloud to keep your progress synced across devices.
- Use Remote Play on TV for a couch‑co‑op experience.
