Castle Kraken Tips and Strategies

Call Saints to Help You

It can be hard to get past all the waves of enemies that arrive, especially on higher difficulties. You can call fellow Saints to help you out on these missions. They're great not only for having an ally to help defeat enemies but also as bullet sponges so you can get a breather to heal or reposition.

Use the Dustlander Shotgun

The best weapon to clear out enemies will be the Dustlander Shotgun due to its high damage and bullet spread. You can take out most enemies instantly but make sure you keep an eye on your health since you'll need to get up close to maximize the shotgun, which makes you vulnerable to attacks.
