What's your strategy when you are surrounded

[Vayne]

3 screamer scream and calling a lot of zombies...probable like 15 zombies attack me...and juggernaut nearby to casue more trouble....what you do in this situation?

[Rhael]

Dodge a lot, crack snacks, cry like a baby and look for a gettaway car.

Dodge and run. You are faster than everything except Ferals, and NPC bullets.

Rhael is right, looking for a higher spot also work since they can't climb. I once got stuck like that, but i had a crossbow and lot of arrows..i killed my way out by sniping them from the roof.

Can't agree more..i tried to outrun 3 ferals once..didn't work out well..

That's why I always bring a shotgun and molotov, early game just RUN like a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, try to loose them by going through buildings

That doesn't work well on nightmare. Individual Zombies will constantly scream if they can't reach you spawning more zombies. Also theres a bug when on top of buildings where zombies can lunge dive grab you from below and it looks like they teleport to your position on the roofs. Ferals can also climb cars and other non ladder accesible areas.

I just recently played this but firecrackers work really well. It distracts zombie horde and lets you run towards another direction where you can control a fight/flee.

The only thing that I have to kill if it saw me is a feral.

Use blade and snacks to mow zeds down, or grand slam with blunt to keep them on the ground and seek for a chance to finish 1 or 2 of them, and repeat

That doesn't work on nightmare, zombies ignore distractions if they are already agroed on to you.

Well,there is a boring way:climb up your car,shoot them with your crossbow,the zombies will just stand there and cowing.BUT!!Can't do this if there is a juggernaut nearby.HAVE TO KILL IT FIRST.

[パンダ（Φ ᆺ Φ）]

throw molotov to the crowd :)

Pretty much... it gets quickly out of control, especialy when you've been "online" for a while and did not kill freaks as they spawned, that and the fact that zombies just spawn so randomly... Kill every zombie in sight, all around you only to find out they keep spawning the moment you stop looking in that direction.

I understand zombies wander alot but it would be nice if there was some sort of timer before they respawn in an area and not just a tiny area around a houses and outposts.

Pop the Screamers head off, always dodge and dodge and execute at the opening. Feral? Try to shoot their heads as they leap on you and dodge instantly, move around obstacles for your stamina to regen (or just stay above the vehicle), but if there's a Juggernaut, I'll just bolt out.. not worth the injury.

without cheating methods.
If you are out of option: Dodge out. Keep molotovs and snacks/energy drinks in your backpack, (molotovs are prolly your best silent friend for aoe use).

If they are breathing on your neck then use molotov in front of your feet and continue to dodge out. Keep running to a safe distance and then crouch and sneak away.
This way you get controll over the situation and if you are ok and need to go back you can start it again from a different angle.

// Juggernaut are slow and easy to avoid, keep your distance from it. Screemers can be ignored when you keep moving or target them and gun them down fast. Kite Freaks (Ferals) with you to a more controllable area, kill it there if possible. Bloaders should be your first priority to kill, if you cannot shake it off.
