Understanding the Alien Invasion Event

Before we dive into obtaining the Laser Sword, it’s crucial to understand the event that makes it available. The Alien Invasion is a special event that occurs randomly during your gameplay, typically on the night of Day 3 (unaffected by bed multipliers or missing children mechanics).

Event Triggers

When the Alien Invasion begins, you’ll notice a message at the top of your screen: “something mysterious is flying above you.” This is your cue that multiple UFOs are flying overhead. Shortly after, some UFOs will flash red before crashing into the forest below.

What to Expect During the Event

• 2-4 UFOs will crash across the map
• One special UFO will have a green glow (this leads to the Mothership)
• Aliens will guard each crash site
• The event is now random rather than guaranteed (since the Crafting Update)

Step-by-Step Guide to Getting the Laser Sword

Method 1: Looting Broken Spaceships

The most straightforward method to obtain the Laser Sword is by raiding the crashed UFOs that appear during the Alien Invasion event.

Step 1: Prepare for the Event

Before attempting to raid UFOs, ensure you have:

• A reliable weapon (preferably ranged for initial engagement)
• Adequate health supplies
• Optional: Team members for support

Step 2: Locate Crashed UFOs

Once the UFOs crash, they’ll appear on your map. Look for:

• Smoke plumes rising from crash sites
• Alien activity in the area
• The distinctive green-glowing UFO (special Mothership entrance)

Step 3: Clear the Area

Each crashed UFO is guarded by Aliens. While they have relatively low health, they can be dangerous in groups. Use these strategies:

• Keep moving to avoid being swarmed
• Focus on one Alien at a time
• Use area damage weapons if available
• Remember: Aliens inside UFOs have lower health than those outside

Step 4: Loot the Crash Site

After clearing the Aliens, search the crash site thoroughly. The Laser Sword can appear as:

• Ground loot near the wreckage
• Inside containers at the crash site
• As part of the general UFO loot pool (which includes Raygun and Meat? Sandwich)

Method 2: Raiding the Alien Mothership

For players seeking better odds, the Alien Mothership provides a guaranteed chance at the Laser Sword through the Alien Chest.

Step 1: Find the Special UFO

Look for the crashed UFO with a distinctive green glow. This is your entrance to the Mothership.

Step 2: Enter the Mothership

Inside the special UFO, you’ll find:

• An open door on the right side
• A teleport pad with an arrow indicator
• Interact with the teleport pad to enter the Mothership

Step 3: Navigate the Mothership

The Mothership consists of:

• Multiple rooms and hallways
• Regular Aliens and Alien Elites
• Locked doors requiring Elite Alien bodies as keycards

Step 4: Defeat Alien Elites

Alien Elites are larger, grey-skinned Aliens that serve as living keycards. Strategy tips:

• They have slightly more health than regular Aliens
• Kill one Elite per room to progress
• Pick up their bodies and use them on scanners to unlock doors
• Only one Elite spawns per room (except the final room)

Step 5: Reach the Final Room

The final room contains:

• The Alien Chest (guaranteed to contain alien weapons)
• Higher chances for the Laser Sword
• Additional elite enemies

Step 6: Open the Alien Chest

The Alien Chest is your best source for the Laser Sword, with significantly better drop rates than random UFO loot.

Laser Sword Stats and Mechanics

Understanding the Laser Sword’s unique mechanics is crucial for maximizing its effectiveness.

Damage System

The Laser Sword operates on an energy-based system:

• Full Charge: 30 damage per hit
• Close Range: Additional +5 damage (35 total)
• Low Charge: Significantly reduced damage
• Energy Recharge: 1 point per second
• AoE Effect: Small area damage at full charge

Combat Mechanics

The Laser Sword features several unique combat properties:

1. Energy Depletion: Each swing consumes energy

3. Crowd Control: Full charge hits affect multiple nearby enemies
4. No Ammo Required: Unlike ranged weapons, it uses energy instead

Best Class for Laser Sword: The Berserker

While the Laser Sword is powerful on its own, pairing it with the right class can dramatically increase its effectiveness.

Why Berserker is Optimal

The Berserker Class is the undisputed best choice for Laser Sword users:

• Cost: 100 Diamonds at the Class Shop
• Damage Boost: Increases Laser Sword damage to 39 per hit (full charge)
• Low HP Bonus: Additional damage when health is low
• Synergy: Perfect match for aggressive melee playstyle

Berserker + Laser Sword Strategy

1. Manage Your Health: Keep health low (but safe) to maximize damage bonus
2. Energy Management: Pause between attacks to maintain full charge
3. Crowd Control: Use the AoE effect when surrounded
4. Risk/Reward: Embrace the high-risk, high-reward playstyle

Alternative Class Options

While Berserker is best, other classes can work:

• Assassin: Good mobility with starting Katana as backup
• Brute: Tanky option with shield for safety
• Fire Bandit: Ranged option for pulling enemies

Advanced Tips and Strategies

Combat Techniques

1. The Pause Method: Briefly pause between attacks to maintain full charge
2. Crowd Clearing: Wait for full charge before engaging groups
3. Hit and Run: Strike, retreat to recharge, then re-engage
4. Corner Fighting: Use walls to manage enemy positioning

Farming Strategies

1. Multiple Runs: The Alien Invasion is random, so be prepared for multiple attempts
2. Team Coordination: Bring friends for faster UFO clearing
3. Event Recognition: Learn to identify the “something mysterious” message immediately
4. Preparation: Always carry a decent weapon before Night 3

Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Spamming Attacks: Don’t continuously swing with low energy
2. Ignoring Aliens: Clear all enemies before looting
3. Solo Mothership: The Mothership is challenging alone
4. Missing the Green UFO: The special UFO is easy to miss if you’re not paying attention
