Contagion
Inadequate amount of zombies during a siege in Last Hope - Suburbs
So, after I activate the gate in sector B a music and a wave of zombie horde starts. The wave is so dense and huge, that I literally have no time to reload any gun. They spawn non-stop with no delay between waves to give opportunity at least to reload.

So I failed once, twice, failed again. I was wondering, how many zombies are there. So I enabled infinite ammo, and started counting. It was 120 zombies! Even with infinite ammo I didn't stop shooting, because there is no pause of delay between zombies - 120 zombies coming in a single long horde.

This is absurd. I watched several videos on YouTube made a year ago. A company of 3 players in coop had somewhere about 30-40 zombies in that wave and the wave itself lasted less than 2 minutes. So, 2 minutes and 40 zombies for 3 players a year ago, but 5 minutes and 120 zombies against a solo player now? Why did you do that?

Yeah, I found a way to complete this chapter and survive this siege. The siege lasts for 5 minutes and if you kill any zombie during it a new one is immediately spawned. So, the faster you kill them - the more will spawn because the siege is a timed event, limited by time and not by amount of zombies killed.

I found a spot where that horde does not see me. I can wait in that spot for 5 minutes until a a message comes that alarm is over, then I can go out and there are ~30 zombies to kill. But that just doesn't sound right. Can you fix this and make that horde to have actual limited and beatable number of zombies spawned?

Find a good spot to hold up. Being in the open with a lot of zombies spawning and coming at u from different sides is a bad idea. Find a good place before u press that button. I beat that map in solo a lot of times, even when the running zombies bug was there. A melee weapon is also recommended (a fast one). That way you won't need to reload your guns constantly or run out of ammo (change between melee and ranged weapons). If that doesn't works then, there are two glitches you can use after pressing the button: leave a zombie alive near the button before you press it. After pressing the button, jump on the zombie and get on the top of the tent (the one at your left). If this glitch is to hard for you, after pressing the button go to one of the bleachers (the one near the wall) and jump to the top. Zombies can't reach you there and will stop in front of you doing nothing
I found a good spot to hold up - that big area with dead bodies nearby, It has only 1 entrance, high fence which they don't climb over and plenty of space to run. If I stand near the fence, they only come from one entrance going directly towards me.

Using melee weapon there is the worst advice you could come up with (the worst one would be to tell me stand still and hope that zombie won't notice me). I'm not sure how carefully you read my post, but I'll repeat it again and stress it out - I have tested this wave with INFINITE(!) ammo. And with infinite ammo I barely had time to kill them within 5 minutes in a row. If I swinged my melee weapons instead of spraying with infinite ammo, I would be overrun instantly. They come inside the area I'm defending at a rate ~1 zombie each 2 seconds.

Also, the amount of zombies is literally infinite - every time you kill a zombie a new one is immediately spawned, so it doesn't even matter how fast you kill them. Their spawn rate is equal to your kill rate. The only way to avoid killing inadequate amount of zombies is to avoid killing them at all until the alarm is over.

I've analyzed the whole map in search for glitches that would help me survive it. The bleachers does not work - zombies easily go on them and hit you even if you sit on the top edge. But as I told in my original post, I have found two perfectly working glitch spots, where I can just relax and drink some hot tea during those 5 minutes of siege.

My point is that this is not ok. This siege needs to be balanced. I completed whole Last Stop campaign and there is no other place that would have this insane amount of zombies running at you non-stop. The closest one was the lowering bridge on the third map, but zombies there have much more space (and time) between spawns and you actually have a goal and direction to run instead of just sitting duck.

If you are a pro at this game and can easily and consistently kill 120+ zombies running on you non-stop, it would be nice to see a video how you do it without using any glitches or cheats, I would gladly learn. But so far I haven't found a single video on YouTube with people doing so.
