Easy peasy, lemon squeezy. Now, that is all.

Of course its easy. You get infinite tries and you never lose your progress. It's just not well designed nor fun. On normal it's braindead, but do that mission on hard or nightmare without doing NG+. During the escape sequence its completely luck based how often you die, due to only having 1 medkit. It's just not good. And the actual pit fight is straight up broken on hard and nightmare, due to the low lvl weapons in the arena not doing enough damage to the scaled zombie hp's if your survivor rank is too high. But if your survivor rank is low, your agility is probably also low, which means during the escapüe sequence ull keep running out of stamina and dying. It's obvious the devs didn't put much thought into this mission.


Ive completed this game and both the following and bozak horde dlc on nightmare and the pit is by far the worst designed part of the game, and usually the only time I ever die during a story mission. The worst part is its not even hard, its just an XP dump.

Ya, I hated it.

If you R smart on hard or nightmare you have leveled enough to get legend points, respec for this mission put your points in unarmed & fisticuff your way through. Also B4 you pick up the machety from the floor you should go around looting all the corpses & the floor for all kinds of weapons. Many times I have had enough stuff to make extra medkits from what I loot. The demo can also be taken down with fists just wait till he takes a break to rest & run up & pound away.

I don't need help or advice with the mission. I'm just saying it's awful and not fun. I don't have any trouble completing it. Also, I'm well aware how to cheese it in NG+ with unarmed.

Also, I don't think the devs intended for the player to use meta knowledge and grind airdrops for 500 hours until they maxed survivor rank and unarmed before entering this mission. The mission is not designed for these difficulties (hard and nightmare were later patched into the game) and it shows. It's just completely broken.

There's one part in the escape sequence where if you die at that specific spot on nightmare, you will keep respawning infront of 2 of rais's thugs and they will spawnkill you with their rifles everytime the checkpoint gets reloaded. You get some spawn protection, but its usually not enough to get away in time, so it's not uncommon to die 3-5 times in a row there. On normal its fine and you can get away, but for hard and nightmare It's obviously not well designed, and they shouldve adjusted this mission when they introduced these higher difficulties.

This mission is infamous for being broken and bad on the higher difficulties, I'm aware of that, all I did was vent. Idk why people interpreted this as me having trouble completing the mission. I really don't. I appreciate your attempt to help but I really, really don't need help.

I understand, the level was poorly designed and was easily cheesed by everything. Hopefully the sequel does a better job.
