Brink Challenge: Tower Defense Level 3

Posted by Bernhard On May - 24 - 2011

This is a video guide created by Dave and Noah on how to master the Tower Defense Level 3. The video takes around eleven minutes. According to them this is one of the easiest ways. They recommend using heavy body and heavy machine gun.




Have fun applying the stuff learned from that video and of course playing :)
