Need help with a "Psycho" challenge.
Hello! I'm doing one of the side challenges for Psycho, specifically the one where you have to cut 30 zombies in half within 1:30 or something like that.

It seems that 70% of the time no matter where I aim, it only cuts their limb off or their head. I can barely ever get the axe to cut the zombies in half. This leads me to only get 10/30 zombies at most.

Any ideas?

one word: firecrackers.

Just did it way easy by distracting them into large bundles and then using windmill power skill tree ability. took me about 7 firecrackers and 60 seconds

That's weird how it gives you an axe to use. I always receive a machete to cut the zombies down. Anyway, for me it's always a 1 hit kill with the challenge. Every zombie I hit, no matter where I hit it will die in 1 hit while I'm doing the challenge. Even when I was able to 1 shot them, I still needed other players to help me complete the challenge. It's only because of the way the zombies are scattered, I think it's impossible to do alone. Not sure though. But yeah, the only way I was able to complete that challenge was with the help of 2 other people. We all went separate ways and slashed through it in about 20 seconds.
Whirlwind skill FTW!!!!!!!!!!! *and Firecracker to pull them together :3*

the psycho series of sidequest along with that movie producer guy is the hardest quests in the game IMO...not looking forward to it in hard mode.

on normal, the way i did it is using the "reach" of the axe, as being too close increases the chance of "missing" i.e. decapitation or just mutilated arms. firecrackers are huge help. let the zombies gather round and start hacking
did everybody in need get this? add me if you need some help
Hi everyone, I'm still struggling with this no matter what I try, if anyone has it on PS4, please could you help out? My ID is jjonfire
firecrackers is the way to go in here...lure em up in a crowd, aim at mid and swing away.....

whirlwind skill is actually not helpful in this imo as more often than not, it just pushes zombies away instead of hacking them...and the recovery is too long as well

1 firecracker = 1 axe swing. depending how compressed the group are you can get 4-6 in one swing
I would think Crane is perfectly safe in a zombie outbreak since he clearly has no brains; I say this since he's a complete idiot with the axe and takes about an hour to swing the axe, then needs to call his mom and ask for permission to take another swing--

*breathes into paper bag*

Okay, okay, I've calmed down. But really, his absurdly slow swing with the axe is what makes this so infuriating for me. I've almost got it, but I just wanted to rant about how brain-dead Crane is.

Also, these quests better end with you challenging the Psycho to do something that leads to his agonizing death.

EDIT: So, after finally beating it, he attacks me, saying "THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE." REALLY wish he would've followed me out of the area so I could lure him into a crowd of zombies and watch him get eaten alive.

I really, REALLY hate those in games who put a stupid, arbitrary time limit on missions for no reason. It's my dream to see a game where the main character gets fed up with that bullcrap, and punishes the NPC accordingly.

Looooool killing that bastard was the most satisfying kill in the game...same bro, i wish we could lure him out to a horde of zombies and see him get eaten
Just a few observations on the 5-part Psycho Challenge that may help out those who are frustrated and fed up with this set of challenges (as I was).

1) Use all the opportunities available to you, particularly those that are out in plain sight and are, consequently, ignored (or, at least I've read nothing OL that mentions these).

The big problem for many (myself included) with the Psycho Challenges is being tasked with acts that you don't normally have experience doing. How many previous times have you been asked to "break legs"? There is a technique for doing this and it doesn't come naturally. Or, how about cutting a zombie in half? Again, there is a technique to do so. You may have done so in the past before this set of challenges, but have you done so intentionally and to every zombie you encounter? Are you adept at 2-handed weapons? I wasn't and there are significant ramifications to doing so and the delay between weapon swings is hard to adjust to without prior experience.

So, you are facing tasks that are new, using weapons that may be new for you, and you are expected to do this within a time limit that is tight even with experience.

What everyone seems to ignore is the practice field that is provided for you by the game. Jeffrey/El Jefe is located in a safe area the contains a trader, your stash, and a bed. It is also strategically located with not one, but two areas crawling with zombies just over the fence from the safe area. So, go to the trader and buy a baseball bat if you don't have one in stash, or a 2-handed ax (for the 5th challenge). Jump over the fence and use the two fields of zombies to practice with unfamiliar weapons to develop timing and technique without the restriction on a ticking clock. The zombie mix you find in these two practice fields are exactly like the mix you will encounter in the challenges so you get experience on how to handle the different zombie attack types.

2) Without exception, it is almost impossible to complete any of the Psycho Challenges without the strategic usage of firecrackers. Firecrackers serve as the "sheep dog" for corralling zombies. For these challenges, more is better than less and timing for throwing firecrackers is as important as the location to which the firecrackers are aimed. These techniques can also be utilized in the above-mentioned practice fields while testing the weapons before entering the timed challenge.

I suppose that gamers with more experience than I can do these challenges without these techniques, but I found that my success in each challenge became so much easier with the real live practice. When familiarity with weapon and firecrackers become second nature, the timer can be literally ignored.

As an example, the 5th challenge calls for using a 2-handed ax to cut 30 zombies in half. Before following my own advice, the best I could achieve was 14 within the time limit (1.5 minutes, I believe). After 20 minutes in the "practice fields" next to the Jeffrey/El Jefe, I completed the challenge on my first attempt with 23 seconds to spare.

One last recommendation. Rest on the safe area bed before attacking a challenge. For some reason, the challenges I completed (all five) were easier early in the morning.
I can confirm that firecrackers are the key. Once a hoard bunches up and have their backs turned you can line up a triple split if the crosshair is aimed near the hips of the zombies.
I have been trying this for an hour and I can only seem to get about 5 within the time limit on Nightmare. On Normal, I was able to get 9.

Rank: Legendary 44. I have 5 points in two-handed weapons.

Been trying the firecrackers with the windmill spin thing, but that just ain't doing the trick. I am just wasting firecrackers.

I am going to have to assume that this challenge is nearly impossible to solo. Please nerf.

Nah, not impossible. You just have to use the right tactic.
Added you.
Thanks, but someone else already helped me with it.

It's quite difficult to do solo though. Best to have co-op help.
