Wrestler's quest impossible with zombie horde?

[Misery]

Seriously, I keep trying this, but every time I do, I get a zombie horde at some point, and the quest ends there. There arent really any places that arent stuffed full of zombies, even if I keep clobbering them. If I do find someone that fits the current description, they inevitably end up drowning in zombies, so I cant challenge them, and then they end up dead. Eventually, the level runs out of possible targets. Which is odd, it's not like there isnt anyone left. In this last time it happened, there's still characters like scientists and goons (who arent part of mission buildings) or bartenders and such. I guess they arent possible targets for the quest?

Anything I can try here? Not sure how to go about this. I mean, any disaster can make many of the big quests pretty tough, but this is the only one so far that I cant find some solution to.

Best solution: get to your targets before the zombies do. Or kill the zombies around them.

Actually when I did it this last time, the quest continued on the next floor anyway? Not sure what's up with that. It did specifically say it failed on the zombie floor. A bug, perhaps?

I have no idea if it would have actually finished though. Died due to the ooze in Uptown. That area + that disaster, it's a nasty combo. One hell of a run though.


That all being said, for the zombie situation, I havent found a way to get to targets first, or even defeat all the zombies around them. I cant take out 7 or 8 zombies scattered all over before they knock out the target (all I've got are melee weapons and guns that dont do anything, what with the Wrestler's super low firearms stat), and I cant use items like the Gigantizer to crush them fast, as that would kill the target anyway. There's no chance to talk to the target either, because they're always already in combat.

So yeah, I dont know what to do there.

@Misery the quest always continues if you fail a floor, you just fail for the game or region. If it says you failed, it'll show those things in red on the missions screen on the next floor. You sure you saw a bug there?

[Misery]

Oh, okay, I didnt realize that bit. No bug then, I suppose. I thought it was supposed to just stay failed for the rest of the run.
