Assault Rigs is a 1996 3D tank combat game developed by Psygnosis for the PlayStation. Set inside a corporate virtual reality simulator, the game tasks players with piloting a hover tank through neon-lit, maze-like arenas to collect gems, destroy enemy viruses, and find the exit.
How to Play
The objective is to collect all the required gems in a stage to unlock the exit elevator. Use the D-pad to maneuver your rig, X to accelerate, and Square to fire your primary weapon. Use the L1 and R1 shoulder buttons to strafe, which is essential for dodging enemy fire in tight corridors. You can find weapon upgrades and power-ups scattered throughout the levels.
Tips
- Strafing is your best defensive tool. Keep moving sideways while facing enemies to avoid their projectiles.
- Watch out for colored doors and elevators; they often require finding the matching colored keycard to proceed.
- Explore the arenas thoroughly. Upgraded weapons like homing missiles make clearing out rooms much easier.
