During the campaign you should be aware of the collectibles which are present in every mission and come in the form of golden 'Babushka Dolls' and you will need to shoot them to collect them. A guide for these can be found in the appropriate description below. If you miss any of the Babushka Dolls, you can replay any mission through level select.

    Solo guide for Broveit Russia.

    • First off you need two controllers to do this by yourself. Once you have those, go to "Arms Race" and play it on Elite.
    • Hit "B" on your first controller, as it automatically puts you into the tank. If you don't get out, the planes will damage it.
    • Don't build anything until the planes go away the first time! As soon as you're able, hit "X" to start every wave early. Don't worry, you'll have more than enough time before they get to your turret.
    • Once the planes go away, using your second controller, build a "Make-shift turret" in the small land plot, nearest to your Toy Box. Upgrade it (still with the second controller) once.
    • Destroy first three waves, upgrade to level three.
    • Zoom second controller out so you can see how much time you have, before they make it to you.
    • Keep an eye on your turrets health. Repair it every time you get a chance (you'll be drowning in money; that's not an issue) and whenever it has roughly 25% life left.
