Ultimate Fury Cricket challenge is "nearly" impossible

[CON†RAST]

Due to fixed zombie spawn timers and the fact that some zombies survive getting lunched off the platform as well as a point delay it is physically impossible to achieve a gold medal in this challenge

I have attempted it around 50-60 times over the past hour with the best time being 1 minute and 2 seconds, all other times range between one 1:02 and 1:08 with a good chunk of those runs having perfect execution (1 hit per zombie with the zombie flying out the platform) the only reason i managed to get 1:02 is because the second wave of zombies (after the initial 4) spawned at 16 seconds instead of 18 seconds which also caused other waves to speed up (had nothing to do with the time taken to get rid of the first 4, that done at 0:11 followed by 5 - 7 seconds of doing nothing), and at the point the last zombie left the platform it was 0:58 seconds but not until 1:02 was the point registered

Has anyone managed to get gold in that challenge? because nothing i try seems to speed up zombie spawns or guarantee that they will die when flung out of the map

I've managed to successfully get the gold medal after 5-6 tries, but only a couple seconds below 1 minute. The best you can do I guess is being incredibly aggressive in knocking the zombies off the map as soon as possible so you can keep the momentum. No idea if it affects the spawn speed or not though.

Charged attacks are great for knocking the zombies off if you're not that close to an edge or the like too, it really sends them flying.

ive gotten to the point where ive memorised all the zombie waves spawns and the most convenient spots to hit and stand at after they jump onto the map, I guess you need to get incredibly lucky to get a gold because on average i hit 23-26 zombies off the roof before the game actually counts to 20 which is a big problem because only 20 zombies seem to spawn during the 1 minute time

ive hit all but 2 zombies with one swing shortly after they spawn, a good 10+ seconds of that run is waiting for zombies to spawn, there is only 2 zombies that i did not hit out with 1 swing the first one not costing more than a few ms and the second one costing 1 second at the most

ironically i managed to get a time of 59.84 seconds on the 69th attempt after uploading the video but that was sheer luck because no zombies decided they are going to survive the fall (near the start of the video and at the very end you can clearly see how some of them just climb back up after getting thrown off surviving with very low hp which does not grant a point)

i tried like 5 times, my best time was 1:02

[ObiTheVillain]

completed it with 58 seconds yesterday and when i played today my games says ive only gotten the silver medal

drop kicks. instant kill / score update. Just did it with 6 seconds to spare. was getting right on my nerves until i tried that.

The real impossible gold medal is Nightrunner Challenge VIII

[Swanky McSwanky Pants]

If you can do it in co op then that makes it super easy, did it in like 40 seconds. I think the game ups the spawns for co op which literally fixes the one issue with the challenge since you have so much downtime just waiting for zombies to spawn which makes getting gold complete luck.

That thing need grabbing hook to make it possible

This frustrating me too. They just dont spawn fast enough

[DeadAimBow]

I agree about the spawn rate. Some people trying this challenge and "beat it on the first try" most likely returned to it when they were higher leveled to beat it. I consider myself an above average gamer. I also found myself standing there waiting for zombies to spawn because i killed them as fast as i could. There should be a look into the challenge and its spawn rate. That being said i managed to beat it but not after probably 7 attempts 1-2 seconds away from gold, which wanted to make me break my keyboard, and i usually dont get mad playing games lol.

This is the same problem I'm having. I'm playing the PS4 version on the PS5 (so I can multiplayer with my PS4 friends), so I don't know if that's a factor. But after hours of being very frustrated with it, I started counting the spawns. At the 1 minute mark, no more than 15 have spawned, every time. So this is effectively impossible.

It is possible you have to remember the spawns and make sure you get them in time wich can be hard with the floaty combat
near 30-40 sec mark enough spawn
