Cant beat the quest "the bridge to zakov"

[Carson0625]

way too many ghouls in the cave. ive attempted to complete this quest at least 30 times now with the best gear and there is no way.

To take down ghouls, I’d suggest using a 50-round Vector with the cheapest ammo (the one without any penetration) and the "Killer Reload" perk. Move slowly, peek around corners, and shoot in short bursts. Ghouls will still outnumber you, so when your mag gets down to about 1/4, start moving back behind cover. Reload quickly, find a good angle, and stick to short bursts. It takes a bit of practice, but once you get the hang of it, it'll be easy peasy! :)

This weapon will also come in handy once you reach the other side of the cave, though you’ll need longer bursts there. Pair it with something heavier to destroy infestations, and make sure you have solid radiation protection.

For me, this was the toughest mission... at least for a while. Now I’m up against the "Machinery" quest, and "The Bridge to Zakov" feels like a piece of cake by comparison. Nevertheless, GL & HF!

Just did that part and honestly the CC12 shotgun with the bigger mag, buckshot and the penetrating shot perk abosolutely destroy anything in that cave, would highly recommend. The boulder would probably work just as well if you went green army, even the stas 12 (I think it was called) would probably work.

the RPK from kibba is good (large mag) if you have some skill in assault rifles and the perk that reduces min range further, otherwise stick to smg or shotguns.
vector with 50 mag is good or the F90, bigger ammo stacks (200 vs 120) same damage. I went with a t6 armor with 60% melee resist and an anomaly suit (90 anomaly resist) for the part after the tunnels. i brought a rad syringe + food syringe for the anomaly part as well.
i went with smg + pistol (one with 20 dmg will kill each ghoul with one shot) for quick swap (a second smg works as well) in case i run out of ammo in the mag and reloading takes too long. the perk that keeps you from getting slowed from melee attacks seems to help a bit as well

Which direction are you taking in the cave? I found going right first and continuing counter clockwise while sticking to the edge until you get to the opening in the northwest is the easiest way through. If you go directly up or left at the beginning, you can get pincer attacked between two infestations. PRK with drum mag.

i pass the cave and all the anomalies but stupid me just run to extraction without repair .

im not even sure where to repair it .

anyway. i use kibble rifle with 90 bullet clip and use the normal ammo. its work better then high pen , cuz they dont have armor.
when im inside the cave i stick to the left and when there is a nest i spray it . the last perk of rifle with bullet pierce is great vs ghouls.

there's a tower right before the exit, run to the base and there should be a option.

I almost left as well lol.
