GETTING STARTED – LOADING – THINGS TO KNOW IN GARENA CONTRA: RETURN

Let’s learn the basics first and then we will head to the tips, cheats & strategies. It’s all about the weapons and how you dodge or save yourself from the enemy attacks. That’s it. You will face elite aliens in hard modes, powerful players in the PvP as you progress through the game. First, you must master the controls; switch to sub-gun at the right time, jump, double jump, go prone, use weapon’s skills at the right time, move wisely. And it should not be a problem. The next thing is the quality of the weapon. Garena Contra: Return game features many weapons; Assault rifles, sniper rifles, launchers, flamethrower, machine gun, cannons, and more.

Garena Contra: Return You will have to upgrade, enhance, evolve the weapons to increase the firepower. The firepower determines your strength. The player can equip up to two guns and choose only one fighter for the fight(3 in PvP, switch to anyone). Ammo is unlimited, but reloading takes time. So the player is advised to pick up the best gun combo(best two guns) and switch to each other to keep shooting.

POWERING UP WEAPONS NEED MANY ITEMS

In order to increase the Firepower, you have to power up the weapons. For different upgrades, you need different items. Here’s the weapon powering up guide and item farming guide for weapon enhancement: –

Upgrading – EXP Card

To upgrade or level up a weapon, you need EXP card. These EXP cards come in different qualities: –

White – Gives 50 EXP
Green – Gives 150 EXP
Blue – Grants 500 EXP
Purple EXP Card – Gives 1500 EXP
Gold EXP Card – Gives 5000 EXP

You can obtain these EXP cards from story mode, daily mode, duel matches, PvP, missions, and in the shop in exchange for diamonds. High-quality upgrade cards give more EXP to the weapon and let you level up it fast. You will need high-quality upgrade cards later when you obtain high-quality weapons. The reason is when you start the game, you will get blue color(B-Rank) weapons. But later, as you play the game, you will get purple and gold color weapons(S-Rank). At that time, your blue color or B-Rank weapon will be at a high level. And in order to play with S-Rank or A-Rank weapons at a higher level, you will have to upgrade them asap. So we would recommend you to save high-quality upgrade cards for high-rank weapons.

ENHANCING – SCOPE, MAGAZINE, MODULE, BARREL

Enhancing is different from upgrading system. Upon upgrading, you only increase the firepower. But when you enhance the weapon, you will increase all the attributes: Attack, Critical Hit Rate, HP, and firepower. You can check the enhancement level at the top-right corner of the weapon’s icon. To enhance, you need these items; Scope, Magazine, Module, Barrel. You can obtain these items from the story mode stages; repeat the stages to get these items in more numbers.

EVOLVING – REQUIRES WEAPON FRAGMENTS

In Garena Contra: Return, evolving the weapon makes it more powerful and unbeatable. Like upgrading, enhancing, evolving also increases the firepower. But in addition to the firepower, it unlocks weapon mod(special skill), increases the star level. Go to the weapon menu and head to the evolve section.

At the bottom-right corner, you can check the number of weapon fragments required to evolve it. Tap the + button to know the exact location of its fragments. You can obtain the fragments from challenge mode(boss challenge, endless mode, PvP mode, arena, and in the shop). Read the guide below for more info.

WEAPON MODS

Weapon Mods unlock when you evolve the weapon. These mods provide different boosts to the player. For example; Quick reload makes the reloading faster, critical mastery increases the chances of critical hits, melee dagger activates when the enemy is close. For each weapon, you have different weapon mods. You can upgrade these mods and increase the boost effect using gold coins. To know about it, tap its icon.
