Raid mode struggles

[elsie]

Hate running out of ammo when you're 80% finished with the stage. (Anyone have a remedy for this? It happens more often than it should.) Then there's only, like, 3 boxes with ammo somewhere in the map. It's not enough to kill that huge, ice-covered zombie with a force shield, though. And the other 2-3 that will spawn right after.

It's even better in the snowy map, where shooting your shotgun freezes the screen for a second, giving the dogs enough time to take a good chunk of health from the crystal. lol

Or that feel when the ground is covered with those mines and you only have a choice of stepping over all of them or getting eaten alive by 3 zombies that cornered you because you're still reloading after missing half your shots. (I suck at this game....)

Git gud.

[Final Fight]

Git even more gud.

Normally i would shot 2-6 shots to the head (depending on the difficulty) with most enemies then melee them to save ammo but that mission was quite the pain in the ass specifically at very hard,i had to change my rifle for a sniper rifle so i ended up with shotgun and sniper rifle (cuz you gotta take them out quick)

Play as HUNK. Max out his "Scavenger" and make other chars inherit it. GG.

i play as foley and you can gesture the enemies to death! it is great to save ammo.

they fall to the floor or get dazed by looking at you when posing, so you can stab or kick them...

also it looks hillarious ;)

[elsie]

Thanks for the tips everyone! Anything in particular you guys have a hard time with? :)

[Unlosing Ranger]

Yeah, I maxed Scavenger and no longer have a problem with ammo. Also, for the shield guys, they tend to move much slower than normal. You could probably kill them with only your knife without taking damage.

I have a hard time with the outdoor market place stages (SO MANY ENEMIES) and XI-04. But that's kinda it.

Oh, also when a pack of dogs show up right after I hit 0 in my current magazine. They attack too quickly for me to reload easily, so it's annoying...

also take a weapon with much ammo and one that deals a lot of damage with you.
like handgun+magnum or assaultrifle/smg + shotgun/sniperifle

actually right until now the raid mode is way to easy but i havent finished all the easy missions yet so dont know how hard it will get (level 15)

[TheHeartless193]

Power-up punch lvl17 is so OP. I do close to 70000+ damage on most enemies.

If you don't play as Hunk and you only have 3 weapon slots for a long time just use a Highroller + shotgun(the one with 8 bucks) and a magnum.

Use the shotgun for the all kinds of zombies(fast/slot/elite). The Highroller is for shielded Enemies(use fire ammunation and you can just shoot in the shield instead of hitting them backwards) and to finish off the axe guys if the only have like 30% hp left.

The magnum is mainly for these axe guys and scagdeads. 1-2 charge shots and they are dead.(scagdeads are actually need 6 fully charged ones).

Never run into any trouble until now only the hard and very hard IX are kinda idiotic if you don't play as Hunk/do have 4 weapon slots.

Yeah. Weapon slots unlock at certain levels. Example: if you see a lock with 45 next to it, it means you have to reach lvl 45 to unlock that slot. Same goes for skills.

[Harukage]

With time, yes. But you need some high levels for that, while first very hard mission is lvl 23(?) or something like that. So runing Hunk with his 4 weapon slots, Assault Rifle Mastery and Scavenger was godsent for me.

ok now i get it and hunk gets them on lower levels then the others?

[Harukage]

I think he has them from the very start. But he gets skill slots, both passive and active, kinda slower than other characters. So it is a tardeoff of a kind.
