Game is too easy?

[Harmless]

Picked this game up with some friends while it was on-sale as it sounded like a cool game, I noticed a lot of the reviews mentioned the difficulty of the game. But surprisingly it hasn't been that difficulty and we are far from god gamers.

We've just cleared the 3rd mission and are pretty much unstoppable, it seems you can trivialize a lot of the combat by just line of sighting the enemy and hitting stuff with your melee, which means lots of ammo is ready for the rare times that you actually need to use guns. We noticed that 80% of players do not have the achievement from the first mission, what is going on here?! Were achievements only added later in the game life cycle?

There are only 3 of us, so we get a bot called Bishop on our team, I wish he would melee more instead of shooting and waking up all the zombies. So if its easy with 3 people, I imagine 4 would make the game a cake walk.

Maybe some of the review should be changed? It will dissuade people from buying the game thinking that it is hard.

Bots can't wake up enemies.

Good luck on your journey

It's important to our team dynamic that we be able to blame enemies waking up on Bishop, so I will withhold this information from my team mates.

Rundown 1 is basically a tutorial campaign. That being said - we had people struggle even on that one, hard. If by 3rd mission you mean R1C1 then congrats - your lads got a better grip on the game than most people coming through here.

That being said - it won't stay a smooth ride for long. R2 will pick up the pace, R3 will chill a bit, and then R4 is where the real game starts.
Reminder:
A = Easy
B = Normal
C = Advanced
D = Hard
E = Cursed

I think by 3rd he meant R1B2. But he'll come back on his words eventually.

Well the game difficulty was greatly nerfed during the extended updates...levels got trimmed down, enemy count was reduced, more powerful weapons were added...

If its too easy for you play R5, that gave the OG gamers a hard time at release lol its much easier now though. Vets still won't play it very often haha it was the meanest the devs got with the player base after OG R4E1X

Which is fair, there were very few who could clear that level in the beta. I've played with most of them

yeah rundown 1 is by far the easiest, it will get worse, good luck

That might be the misinfo that makes the game more frustrating for your teammates and stops them from recognizing your mistakes, which eventually stops them from playing, as some misinfo does.

As for your achievement question, achievements only got added December last year, at which point plenty of folk stopped playing this game already, either due to lack of interest over the years or this was simply not the game for them all the way back when the lets-players were around. That, or people just... don't start at R1 and get frustrated at the game and leave. Won't be the first time I've heard that story.

Once you get past R1, as everyone above has said, the difficulty curve starts showing, so do be careful. If you have more questions, you can easily ask here or on official discord, I'm sure people will respond post-haste.

Good luck

There's your problem right there. This game is 85 levels long, or something. You're still in the tutorial, basically.

beat D and E then type ok?

[Salamimann]

Hehe yes they added achievements much later. The rundowns weren't all available at the same time. And you should keep playing, it will get harder trust me
