A successful strategy in the trenches will be very different to that required on the more free-flowing maps where you have to build maze-structures to keep the enemy lingering just long enough to be obliterated.
In the former, you're going to need to make sure that the radius of every turret is maximized so you get the most for your money, and ensure that turrets aren't just restricted to firing at whatever approaches them. If they can shoot behind as well, you'll get much more bang for your buck. Any time you have a cluster of guns that are fully upgraded, it only makes sense to have a Glue Tower or two in there so that your weapons have the most chance to take out an enemy before they can make too much progress.
Free-flowing maps require a little more planning. What you're really trying to do here is make sure that the invading enemies take the longest route possible while also making sure you don't run out of cash. The classic up-and-down walled route is perfect for the job as it'll make them walk up and down the screen multiple times before reaching the finishing line. Pack this wall with the cheaper Gatling Towers and make' em pay!
Unlocking Towers
The only way to unlock additional deadly towers in the game is by increasing your collection of stars. How do you do that? Well, as with the coin rewards, more stars are awarded for completing missions on harder difficulty settings.
Casual may provide a great arcade experience, but we recommend playing on at least Tough to get the most value out of your time and open up more exciting gameplay options. Of course, Heroic's where it's really at but we recommend taking that setting on when you have the most firepower you can muster. You're going to need it...
The early days
Here's the low-down on the basic turrets you'll start off with. Note that it's possible to get through the early missions by spamming plenty of these, and nothing more.
Gatling Tower
'More bark than bite, an efficient wall builder.'
Placement cost: $5
Upgrade cost: $4
As the description says, these are great for walling off enemies on the free-form maps. Why? Well, first of all they're the cheapest unit in the game and they block just as effectively as any other. Secondly, if you push the Gatling Tower to the highest upgrade level, it packs a terrifying punch on the battlefield. These units are well worth investing in for the long-haul.
Glue Tower
'Substantially slows one unit.'
Placement cost: $10
Upgrade cost: $5
We're pretty content to upgrade this unit just the once and have a couple placed near any spawn points to help keep the early action under control.. The limitation of targeting just one unit is a severe one though, and won't help you out in the more frantic stages. You'd also be well advised to keep a few of these near the finishing line, as they can make the difference between success or failure if they allow you to squeeze off just one more shot.
Missile Tower
'Good range. Good area damage. Good tower.'
Placement cost: $20
Upgrade cost: $15
You'll have to wait a little while to unleash these onto the battlefield given their cost, but once you have a bit of spare cash in the back these are a very worthwhile option. Not only are they super-effective against airborne targets, they also unleash devastating damage against multiple opponents.
Hit the Decks
If you're struggling with the challenge, why not go after some of the card deck collections? These are a great way of attaining bonuses that will help you out of even the tightest of situations. They're also a great incentive for replaying missions, so here's the low-down on each one:

Red means bad, OK?
Keep an eye out for that flashing red soldier icon in the top left-hand corner of the screen. It means a new and potentially deadly enemy is about to appear on the battlefield and you definitely won't want to be caught unawares!
The description will give you important information about the incoming threat, so don't be afraid to change out a few of your tower units near the spawning point. Yes, you'll lose a little money by doing so, but if they're ineffective against the danger, then they're wasted money anyway. By the time you get to the mid-game, you should have more than enough cash in the bank to be able to tweak your load-out to suit the changing threat.
Go the extra mile
If there's one thing that improved our strategy more than anything else, it was sticking around after each mission to carry on in the Endless mode which opens up the minute you achieve your mission objectives.
Nothing will show up the glaring holes in what you felt was a perfect strategy like a dreadful swarm of endless, defense-battering enemies. As well as refining your strategy for the later, harder levels, it will also help you make progress on those card decks. Having those bonus items will definitely help you later on in the game!
A little help from my friends
Here's the low-down on those extra-special items:
Rewind
Just as you'd expect, this takes you back in time a little bit, undoing the last three turns you made. Very handy when you've laid down the wrong tower at just the wrong moment. Don't be afraid to use these when an unexpected fighting force appears either, as they'll let you place superior towers on the battlefield without costing you money.
Deep Freeze
This is great for bringing everything, or rather everyone to a halt. Anything caught up in the radius of Deep Freeze will be pinned to the spot, and you should consider using these if you've struggled to build up a rear defense and have to keep the action centered around where your most awesome firepower is!
Smart Mine
These are very, very smart indeed! When you place one of these beauties on the map, anything caught up in the green blast radius will be obliterated instantly. Best used in the late game when the swarms are coming thick and fast, and the traditional firepower just won't keep the enemy at bay.
Spanish Flu
The rather grim Spanish Flu is a contagious damage-over-time effect that spreads from unit to unit, gradually wearing them down and turning them into easy pickings for your artillery.
Different map types
Here's the low-down on each of the different map types you'll encounter in the game:
Sudden Death
You'll be tasked with simply surviving as long as possible as a vicious onslaught of enemies appear. Your strategy here should be to wall off the enemies with Gatling Towers as efficiently as possible, then gradually introduce greater firepower as the invading armies grow larger.
Puzzle Maps
In these maps, you'll only have a limited amount of money with which to steer enemy units towards a predetermined point.
Time Trial
Feeling brave? You'd better be before taking on a Time Trial challenge. Here you'll be tasked with killing a certain number of troops within a fixed amount of time. Go for raw firepower here and upgrade your artillery units as quickly as possible.

Enjoying Fieldrunners 2? Check out our interview with Subatomic Studios' Chris Canfield.
Fieldrunners 2 is one of the trickiest, most engrossing tower defense games for iPhone and iPad, filled with a variety of enemies that'll stop at nothing to breach your defenses. That said, it's in your best interest to amass a sizable amount of coins to help turn the proverbial tide. What are the best ways to earn more coins? To find out, we turned to the game's developer, Subatomic Studios.
Best place to start? Right from the beginning.
What Are Coins?
Coins allow you to buy powerful towers and single use items, like mines.
Coins And Scores
The amount of coins you earn in each level is based on your score. The higher the score, the more coins you will earn.
Harder Difficulty Settings Increase Your Score
Casual will generally get you the lowest score. Instead, try the Tough difficulty if you want a higher score, or play on Heroic if you want to maximize your score.
-Unless you are a top tier player, playing on Tough (ie medium) tends to net more coins on average than playing on Heroic. This is because you probably won't need to use any items (which cost money) on Tough, and you'll be able to get further in the level, allowing you to defeat more enemies and get a higher score.
-Playing Time Trial maps on the Heroic difficulty setting is a quick, short term way to earn a good amount of coins.
-Endless Mode ramps up your difficulty level over time, regardless of your initial difficulty settings. Playing on Endless lets you establish a good foundation strategy before things get more difficult, and this allows you to get further on Endless with a higher difficulty setting (and score multiplier) than you would normally get in a non-Endless game with a static difficulty setting.
Combos Are Key
Combos are when you kill multiple fieldrunners with a single attack. Combos result in more points than you would normally get if you took out each enemy individually. Use towers that do AoE (area of effect) attacks in order to get combos.
AoE (Area of Effect) Towers
The Gas Tower is one of our favorite AoE towers. Buy it as soon as possible. It and the Pyro Tower are both super powerful AoE towers that will get you the biggest combos, highest scores and most coins.
Some Other AoE Towers Include: Ice Tower, Missile Tower, Flamethrower, Hive Tower, Radiation Tower, Laser Tower and Nuke Tower.
Basic AoE Tower Strategies
Combo City: Place AoE towers near any area that enemies are running in loops around bridges, tunnels or your own towers. This will keep the enemies in range of the AoE towers longer than if they were walking straight by, which gets you tons and tons of combos. Get even more combos by adding slow towers to the area.

Mass Destruction: Strategies that simultaneously use the Gas Tower, Pyro Tower and Ice Tower are devastatingly effective at getting combos. The Ice Tower is key for slowing enemies down and bunching them up while they get hit by the Gas Tower and Pyro Tower's AoE attacks.
Fieldrunners 2 Cheat Engine
Power To The Towers: Attaching a Power Tower to an AoE tower will increase the amount of damage (and combos) the AoE tower does. Make sure that only one tower is connected to the Power Tower, though, since its damage bonus is divided by however many towers are connected to it.
Fun With Lasers: Laser Towers are generally underrated because they are cheap and relatively weak. Quickly upgrade them to level 3 in order to boost their damage to a more useful amount. Build your maze so that the enemies have to walk through narrow corridors that span the length of the map. Place the Laser Tower at the end of this corridor, and it will fire an attack that blasts through every enemy in its path, getting huge combos. Stack another Laser Tower behind the first tower to increase your chances of getting big combos. This strategy is particularly good early on in Time Trial levels played on Heroic.
Specific Strategies
Twist Of Fate (Grasslands 1): Playing this level on Endless is a simple way to earn a lot of coins.
Home On Derange (Grasslands 4): Using Gas Towers and Pyro Towers to get combos in big, long levels like Home on Derange will get you about 500 coins each play. Spread these towers throughout the map and make sure that any time enemies loop around a bend they are hit by these tower's AoE attacks.
Fieldrunners 2 Cheats
Bizarre Bazaar (Drylands 2): This is another big level where you can easily earn 500 coins. Loop enemies under and over the bridge in the middle of the map. Surround this bridge with Gas Towers and Pyro Towers in order to create a death trap that cranks out combos.
When All Else Fails, Get Coins For Marketing Our Game
Players always want new ways to get coins, so we added social features that give out coins for helping us spread the word about Fieldrunners 2.

Facebook: After you beat a level, you're given the option to 'like' our Facebook page in exchange for 250 coins. Keep in mind that you can only 'like us' once, so after you do it, you won't be given this option again.
Twitter: After you beat a level, a button pops up allowing you to Tweet your score. We'll give you 100 coins for Tweeting your score. You can Tweet your score every 24 hours for coins. We can't just hand out coins, after all.
