GAME TOO HARD

[My Best Friend]

EVEN on EASIER DIFFICULTY. And mission too long. Zombies non-stop and ammo not enough.

[DirtyVaderDaddy]

Its more so its not designed to be played single player, I've noticed this a lot where the hordes out pace any possible ammo supplies and you get overrun no matter where you are. Very poor single player setup, but with a team it's a lot of fun.

Adjust your play style. Loot more. On Elite difficultly you don't have enough ammo, anything below this difficulty is easy to manage.
Leave the setup on default or for one player.
If my old head and hands can do this then any body can do it :)
Single player or not.

I loot a lot, but in a round where I get three hundred kills and still don't reach the end is a bit much. You can only loot so much when hordes and multiple elites are coming at you and shooting at you at once. I know a lot of players use downloads to help them out and if that's how you like to play that's good for you but some of us want a more even game.

That's strange. I started playing this game 1-2 days ago, on Sniper Elite difficulty and zombie number set for 1 player. I've died many times, but I wouldn't say it's excessively difficult.

That said, it might be more fun if I had someone to play with. While I can generally handle zombies, listening to zombie noises while playing solo is pretty unnerving for me.

I think the fault lies behind the keyboard instead of with the game.
Have finished this solo on Sniper Elite with enemy for two players (granted it took ages, but it is doable).
Maybe this game just isn't for you?

Git gud

Did ya Headshot or miss all the shot?

Hi MBF,

First the game repays accuracy. One headshot will kill an ordinary zombie whilst four body shots might not.

Generally you want to keep your distance between you and the zombies. Always try and leave an escape route where you can run to the other side of the map.

I changed my secondary from a machine gun to a shotgun which I find more effective.

Also space bar to kick zombies and skeletons is a life saver. Don't melee with a mob however. You will die.

For sieges your mines, dynamite and trip wires will make dents in the opposing hordes. A well timed and placed grenade can do a lot of damage to zombie mobs.

When in a multiplayer nine times out of ten make an effort to save KO'd and bleeding team mates. Right at the end of a level facing a single surviving elite it might be better to just kill the elite.

You also don't say where you are having the problems.

The final stage of "Village of the Damned" is a c...omprehensively difficult battle and only the best can attempt it solo. There are other nasty choke points during the game and the last levels are tough. The toughest sections often need a good team and multiple attempts to defeat.

The beauty of ZAT is that you can just pick your favourite maps.

My suggestion - join a multiplayer game on a low difficulty and stay at the rear - but do watch your back.

Also maps can be learned and the game gets easier once you know where ammo is, where the zombies spawn, and when elites and special zombies are coming.

S.x.

What ? it's pretty easy actually, just go with headshot

[Bobba_fat_(SWE)]

I am not a great gamer anymore, but I play on Elite level. I always have lots of ammunition left and its not that difficult of a game (Meatboy hard) IMHO.

I think the tactic you should look for is to run around and by Zmobies and gather lots of zombies around and then blast them with the grenade to save ammunition. And kick them alot in places where you dont have to much ammunition. Or try and run and get the zombies to gather in a line and shoot many of them at the same time/row, (around a corner for example staying close to the wall.

This game isnt to hard if you know how to play it, then again, im playing campaign and still on first episode.

Ps. When you get where the horde and the boss are, try just to run far away from the main enemy, and shoot from distance and then run and shoot from distance. Don't worry about the zombies walking around until you finish the big guy off.

Hope this helps a little bit, Good luck to you!

All the ''git gud'' comments are full of crap. This game is not designed for Solo and its obvious. I am near the end of episode 3 and I can say you are 100% correct. Sure some people are just amazing and never miss headshots, but even a very good player will reach certain encounters that are just too brutal and require way too many attempts to get through... Sure you can lower the difficulty and start over but then all other encounters become way too easy for any decent player... I personally, would rather quit the game if I can't finish it on Sniper Elite difficulty... rather than replay the entire game just so I can have the satisfaction of completing it. This is really common in games that support co-op play these days and its sad. The devs BS the customers to sell more copies but really are only concerned with how balanced co-op is. In fact they want to co-op to be easier so you get your friends to by the game as well. You are essentially punished for wanting single player games. And yes, I know its possible to beat it single player... Its just not pleasant and life is too short waste it getting so frustrated at a game.

I'm sorry but this is unreasonable. You are complaining that you can't complete the game on the highest difficulty solo. The solutions are simple: -

1) Lower the difficulty
2) Play with others
3) Git gud

Elite SHOULD be a challenge for the top players. It's when you can't get through the game on the easiest difficulty alone that there's cause for complaint.

i find it quite difficult as well (on easiest mode), just kinda annoying. not exactly unplayable but frustrating to die all the time. also not partner-friendly. levels are so very very long you cant make any progress in one hour long sitting. makes me want to play something else.

I finished the game right away on difficulty: Sniper Elite, default on PS4. The first episode I finished 2 times - because I stopped playing it for a while after the first episode and now after a while, I started playling it again - so I started to play it for the top. Later, I am going to try out Sniper Elite 4 and 3 which should also support 3D stereoscopic on PS4.
