Credits are the main currency within the game. These can be used to further enhance your headquarters, purchase weapons and vehicles, as well as replenish your health. There are various ways to get credits, including being collected from shops that you have put up, completing missions, and defeating aliens.

T-Pulse is a rare commodity within the game, and can only be earned through regular means whenever you level up. However, additional T-Pulses can be purchased using real-life currency, but can improve your gaming experience tremendously.

Energy

Energy defines how many and often you can perform actions such as collecting credits, performing tasks, fighting aliens, and the like. Energy has a limited capacity, and this is gradually replenished in time. However, energy capacity can be increased by equipping specific vehicles, and you can speed up energy replenishment using T-Pulses, allowing you to perform more actions.

Leveling Up

Once enough experience points have been achieved, the player will then level up, making him much more effective in performing tasks. Leveling up will also earn the player one T-Pulse, as well as allow for the unlocking of even more items in the store, as well as the ability to perform more tasks and missions.

Tasks

The main gist of the MIB3 game is to perform tasks. These can either be standalone missions or are tied in with the storyline. Tasks range from simple tasks such as purchasing items and equipment, to more complex and challenging tasks such as fighting aliens and investigating cases. Completing tasks will earn you lots of credits and experience points, though more difficult missions may require you to acquire certain resources such as additional agents or weapons in order to complete your task.

Agents

Agents can be hired to help players out during missions. Each agent has certain skills, and players can help enhance agents’ skills through the creation of facilities. Additional agents can also be hired by expanding your headquarters and purchasing locker rooms.

Agents can be sent on missions, and missions have different requirements, so having a good pool of agents could come in handy. Some tasks may also require more than one agent. In addition, an agent can be assigned to one mission at a time, so players would have to wait for the mission to be completed before he or she could be reassigned.

Market

The market is where you can purchase items to enhance the agency, as well as make you a formidable threat against alien enemies and make yourself more effective MIB agents. There are various items that can be purchased within the market using credits or T-Pulse, and each have varying uses and effects that can further improve your headquarters.

Facilities can be built for agent training as well as developing new equipment. For research facilities, you can use them to develop new weapons and gadgets, including the Neuralyzer, Deatomizer, and the Noisy Cricket. Vehicles can also be developed, which can help you have a higher energy capacity as well as more equipment slots, making you more formidable during alien fights. Facilities can only research one item at a time, and you will have to wait for research to be completed before developing another item. Conversely, you can also purchase gadgets and weapons using T-Pulse, should you not want to wait.

Locker rooms are built in order to be able to hire more agents, while shops and decors can be used together so that players would be able to earn additional credits periodically. Armories are where you store weapons and gadgets, while garages are where vehicles are stored. Lastly, infirmaries are where agents can heal and replenish their health. Building and upgrading these facilities are important in order to balance agents’ resources and capabilities.

Once all available space has been used up, players can opt to purchase additional space in order to expand the agency. Extra space can be purchase either with credits or T-Pulse. Once the newly purchased area has been cleaned and swept of debris, then payers can start building on top of it anew.

Time Jumps

True to the premise of MIB3, players can also jump through time in the game. This will take agents to different areas of New York including Brooklyn, Times Square, Central Park, and many areas referenced in the MIB films. Time jumps allow players to visit either present day or 1969 versions of these areas, with each providing different tasks and missions for you to complete.

Players can freely travel within the area, where they can perform tasks either independently or tied within the storyline. Here, you can do specific actions such as investigate buildings, wipe civilians’ minds, purchase items, collect credits, or fight aliens. Simply click on buildings and non-playable characters (NPCs) in order to interact with them.

Fighting Aliens

Fighting aliens costs three energy points, and it is important that agents are properly equipped with the right equipment such as weapons, gadgets, and vehicles in order to gain an advantage over more powerful beings. It is also important to watch out for your health, as powerful attacks can deplete your health rather quickly, and you must either visit the infirmary to be healed or wait until your health recovers.

Players can battle several aliens at once, with each having different tasks such as health and attack. Combat is turn based, so be sure that you are properly equipped and are at respectable levels before taking on enemies. If you find yourself outnumbered and outperformed, especially with higher level enemies, you may call on an agent once every twenty-four hours to help you in the fight.

When your health is completely depleted during a fight, you will lose, and you will have to return to headquarters in order to be healed. However, winning a fight will earn you a hefty amount of credits and experience points, so make sure that your weapons are properly upgraded and that you have enough offensive and healing gadgets with you in order to ensure success.
