Strategery

[it0hg]

This might not be the place, but I was wondering if anyone has been working on developing any one-man strategies?

I've got dial-up, so I usually play by myself. (Still a really fun mod.) I's been playing for a few days, and I've got something for the Office level that seems to work pretty much indefinitely, but I haven't been able to find a similarly functional one for the other stock maps. I guess I'm not really asking for strategies, just wondering if anyone's in the same boat.

Thanks in advance.

My one man strategy :

Axe : Shotgun : Lotsa Nades : Body armor

Once you've got that, you can make a pretty good stand usually, Assuming you move around and never get too backed up or trapped.

Use the 9mm to pop off Bloat's heads in the early rounds, and then take them down with the axe. Clots stalkers and even gorefasts can be taken out with the axe no problem.

Shotgun / nades can be used when you're being swarmed.

I might just be really lame, but I'm never able to get past five or six waves like that...

Thanks though.

when i solo, i usually get up to wave 8 with a hunting shottie, max body armour and max nades, and basically move around all the time :P

Hunting Shotty doesn't carry enough ammo to make it to wave 8, solo.

Anyway, I find using the static meshes alot helps, meaning jumping onto and off of them much like the parkour ninjas the DRF soldiers are, helps avoid those huge swarms.

Usually Winchester + Shotgun at the beginning and Winchester + Crossbow later on, but that´s mostly because of me having had to switch to a GF2, i.e. comp almost stalls once I get hit.
So I simply try not to get hit and use long range weaponry

Knowing and using the terrain helps, too. You have to know where you can run to or seek shelter in and where you will get swarmed in a matter of seconds. If you´re really confident you can try and gather them up to finish them with grenades.

Gotta say that I almost never play alone, though. For the same reasons I fight at a distance.

For me its up close and personal. I usually use the knife when I am on my own because I am so bored. A combo of knife and shotgun got me quite far.

Uhm. No you don't.

You don't even play, Medic. Quit lieing.

kk, lemme put things in bold.

"For me its up close and personal. I usually use the knife when I am on my own because I am so bored. A combo of knife and shotgun got me quite far."

As for not playing, nobody ever invites me. I usually play by myself on Hospital for awhile.

[zombieButcher]

Shotty, and a HS as soon as you can afford one.
After every round you complete buy some nades and/or Armour.
Use the normal shotty as your primary weapon, use the Hunting shotgun to cap 2/3 zeds at a time.

That usually gets me far.

Any and all the explosives I can find *twitches*

[coolkf2]

Well, i think that it depend on map as well. Like swamp, ths, citywidedawn...

pistol,dual,bullpup,handcannon or any guns u can find on wave 1. wave 2 get shotty,nade. onward wave get armor.

As usual i mostly got eaten at siren wave which is wave 6. Having to back their scream and got to prevent the rest from getting near.

But mine are different cause is custom wave.

wave 1 - 50+ clots
wave 2 - clots plus bloats
wave 3 - plus stalkers
wave 4 - plus gorefasts
wave 5 - plus scrakes
wave 6 - plus sirens
wave 7 - plus crawlers

For map like westlondon, it is useful to camp at the gate area (not the exploit) kill whatever on left or right and grab correct timing turn back to kill the rest specimens who came from tunnel.

Yes, wave 6 or wave 7 are possible being alone. As long as i had enough ammo,armor and enough room to move.

LOL, i hate myself from moving to dead end blocking volume sometimes.

I prefer the bat over the axe. Dunno why though...
