BO6 Exfil is frustrating and poorly designed

[latinaparfait(I♡Shakira)]

they literally don't give you much time at all, then you have to run across the map with like a minute with zombies spawning every 2 feet in front of you then you have to kill like 30 zombies when you probably have at most 30 seconds left with multiple boss zombies attacking you from every direction.

not only that, but i've failed it 3 times now because the last zombie didn't show up or i couldn't find him in the short time window. like in CW i don't remember it being this horrible. i couldn't do it even with everything maxed out and all perks plus the raygun, monkeys and moltovs. The armored zombies and zombies in general have way too much health at higher rounds to kill fast enough to exfil.

There is one important fact what you need and have to do, which many do not right, especially on the roof in Liberty falls. 1. You need a killstream like Chopper gunner for the exfil at round 30 and later. 2. you have to use the killstream correctly. I saw often, the chopper gunners is using like spray & pray for all zombies and ended before the 2nd (often for the 1st already) elite/boss zombie is dead. In this case the player have not enought time to kill the elite/boss in the few seconds. Thats why, focus on the elite/boss zombies with the kill stream first due to they are too time comsuming with hand weapons. e.g. the Abomination need so many time with hand guns what make it impossible to clear the roof in time. Thats why, at the beginning go only on the Abomination and if its dead, then use the remaining time for the normal zombies. If you do that, than a solo exfil is not so difficult. Of course, in levels 50 and higher it will be more difficult ;-) But the difference to CW is, that the time is more the limiting factor and you have in BO6 more focusing on dedicated enemies.

I think the issue OP is talking about is solo exfil.

It's definitely not tuned for that. Literally have entire map fill with zombies on your way to the chopper with less than 2 minutes to kill them all by yourself and then the final wave and boss zombies. I'm pretty sure it can also stack waves right now where if you exfil and have a new wave start then it spawns for both the exfil wave and the new wave. So like twice as many zombies.

This would be doable without the time limit, which is I think the issue for a solo player. Like they can play perfect, but you're going to have to get lucky on spawns and zombies bunching together just right to wipe them out before the timer expires cause there just isn't enough DPS otherwise.

Honestly, no timer on solo or a greatly increased timer would make this feel less impossible. That timer is kind of killing me want to play the mode.

I find solo easier than co-op. I always end up with an a successful exfil, at round 41. Beyond that, it starts to get really hard.

I have a few tips for Liberty Falls to have a good start, if anyone is interested:

1º - Go straight to the "Pack a punch" machine, and upgrade your weapon to lvl 1 ASAP! (5K). This should be your first priority in game.

2º - Choose an elemental type for your weapon and always upgrade it's rarity when it's possible. This is also your priority.

3º - Buy armor lvl 2

4º - Farm for Pack a punch lvl 2

5º - Farm for armor lvl 3

6º - Farm for Pack a punch lvl 3

7º - Now you can spend your money buying perks you like.

8º - After having your weapon at the maximum rarity (orange), you can start saving scrap to buy the Chopper Gunner (2500 scrap), which you will have to save for the exfil.

- Always try to get headshots on enemyes.
- You should consider waiting for all zombies appear so you can stack the horde and then eliminate all at once. This will get you a lot of medals, points and exp.
- When calling the exfil, go straight to the bank's rooftop. When in there, activate the gunner
- When in the chopper gunner, your priority is to eliminate the Elite enemye. Try to mark his target before activating the chopper. This way you will see where is he, exactly.


Anyway, thats it. I hope it helps. This works just fine for me.
Feel free to add more tips!

Thank you for the tips.
Just wondering what does no.2 tip mean?
For weapons, which you did you bring to the game?
Did you buy a second weapon and which one would you buy?
I am really struggling at 25+level, after upgrading weapon to level2-3, it is still very hard.

Have you tried a chopper gunner? Just need to finish off 1 abomination

No, just learning as I go.
Thank you 😊

Extraction is absurdly hard. Every one is like a boss fight against a timer. Be very prepared.

Self revive, full armour, full ammo and chopper heli gunner are mandatory. Bunch of blast mines won't hurt either.

I found cold war's easier too, solo that is. I feel in bo6 you need a chopper gunner to have a shot at exfilling, i think the best way to fix this is to lower the number of zombies needed to kill before exfilling, cold wars was higher because zombies generally did less damage and were easier to kill at higher rounds

Yeah, also the maps are so small compared to outbreak. I'm just leveling guns for now. I will wait for season one then work at finishing them.

Elemental damage is extra damage as well and the effects like slowing the enemy or turning one to your side so it kills other zombies. If you look through the augment trees you can see the effects.

Generally full auto weapons like an SMG or assault rifle with movement buffs because running fast is very important.

You don't need a second weapon if your reload is fast but the G45 pistol is a grenade launcher when pack-a-punched so it can be good for crowd control. It's the one on the wall next to where you spawn in.

A single chopper gunner is enough to exfil, it ain;t that hard tbh just need a good killstreak

No.2 means, you should spend 500 scrap choosing an elemental ammo mod for your weapon. After that, focus on spending scrap upgrading your weapon's rarity (greem, blue, purple and orange). You can do that in the same machine you did your elemental ammo, by changing tabs.

Currently, i'm doing all weapons camo challenges, so i only play with one weapon per match. It takes like 2 - 3 matches for me to get Mystic Gold.

I'm not used to buy weapons from walls and mistery boxes, but if you want to do that, try to have a shotgun (ASG-89) as a secondary weapon or any Mythic weapon.

Most of the times i try to exfil at round 31 and 36. Beyond that, it takes too much time to kill the horde because they get too much life.

Which is your primary weapon you think is the strongest?

[Bobr]

haven't read all the replies but its probably a skill issue or knowledge check issue lmao.

After you call in the helo it nukes the map and resets the zombies, but you get like 20 seconds before any zombies spawn in. 20 seconds is plenty of time to run to the center of the map. If you're on the rooftop you're either in the extract, or within 5 seconds of being in it.

You should have over a minute left at this point, so you use your primary to kill as many as you can for 15 seconds, to give time for more zombies to spawn, then you use a monkey bomb and a chopper gunner to kill the last bit. I normally extract with like 10 seconds left.

I'm sorry for delaying answering.

I've heard that for season 1, in Zombies, AS VAL has the highest DPS of all ARs, if you aim for the head. This is because it shoots super fast and has a decent headshot multiplier.
If you are not focusing on headshots, than the best option would be the GPR-91.

There are other powerfull options, like the LR 7.62 sniper; after you pack a punch, it gets explosive ammo.
GS45 Pistol also has explosive ammo after packing a punch.
Both shotguns are good, but i prefer the ASG-89.
