| nightsurge said: This is how I finished Horde. I played the first 40 or so waves with other people, but then they bailed on me and I finished the rest by myself. On Day One, if you hide in the upstairs section (behind that back section by the sniper/torque bow), in the very middle of that low wall, they can't jump over and you can just unload shotgun and assault rifle rounds from cover. |
That's exactly how I've made it to wave 47. lol! I've tried a number of other maps, but nothing else comes close to that location as far as being defensible.
But only the big guys can't make it over that wall, i.e. - boomers, maulers, flamers, butchers, grinders. When the difficulty starts ratcheting up, I try and kill a mauler to get his shield, and then plant it close to the corner so I can blind/sharp shoot over that little wall. It's usually the Kantus that kill me now, as they tend to throw poison smoke grenades while I'm pinned down by a ginder.
One technique I'm trying (particularly considering the amount of ammo required to kill a grub on wave 47) is to hop back over the wall grab a grinder, run past the mauler shield I've stuck in the walkway, then crouch behind the second wall of the corner and "peek out" to take down anything that comes up the stairs onto the walkway. The biggest weakness with this technique is my right side is exposed to opponents in certain locations downstairs. But other than that, it works well.
