[Leftysstuff]

[Witch]

[fentdroid]

the parish bridge.

Single-player, unmodded sacrifice.

cold stream was harder for me, more in expert

Crash Course solely because the finale can be difficult and casual players don't know you can rush to the finale in like 30 seconds, so they end up rage quitting and killing the match since they don't wanna replay the rest of the map again and wipe again

If Cold Stream is allowed, then that is the 'hardest', tho it isn't hard for any difficulty reasons but rather for artificial difficulty of just spamming commons at you. The areas, situations and map design isn't difficult at all its just the amount of commons they constantly throw at you.

this isn't too bad but the bots are horribly dumb during Map 1 and 2, they'll walk into fire barrels that you want to set off, walk into the forced tank and get horded, and on map 2 they commonly take longer paths around things, and have difficulty with the gravel event.

My advice to make this campaign not hard on single player is to literally ditch the bots, the first two maps can be finished pretty fast solo, and if you get unlucky and get hit by a special just resetting is faster then trying to babysit the bots.

Genuinely difficult: Blood Harvest
Difficult via poor design: Cold Stream

swamp fever, the sacrifice finale, the passing, and bridge finale i think best bet is run and hope they all make it with you, because ive died in the helecopter. or kill everyone except one and run solo .... god hard on the finale would be rough.

the sacrifice is tough given each tank. have a good team, and a good mouse hand , my right hand is messed up lets say it makes for hard as hell proper aim and tendency to click due to nerve damage. fell asleep on my elbow playing hl2 one night messed it up, its like i type and i have to rely on 2 fingers lol. and it makes me want to bust out controller 🎮

I second this. parish bridge is the hardest next to dark carnival the part before you reach the stadium horde event.

the bridge is much easier if you take the left path and walk on the slightly elevated railing, you can jump over commons and they have to take a slight second extra to path to you.

If you throw a moly on the truck at the safe room before leaving it will burn the 2 specials that try to flank from behind too. You can time it with the metal grate noises. These specials will spawn ahead instead if you take too long to start running.

Once you get to the tank section the rest of the finale is pretty free you just wait to clear out the horde before activating the tank (his music will play but he doesn't actually spawn until you get close enough)

Probably coldstream map 2 crescendo event. Hell, cold stream in general. I don't remember the parish finale being hard, but I remember a lobby on that map which had 2 tanks rushing at you, explosive cars blocking the way, a detonation timer and 4 tanks during the escape.

I think the passing is a lot harder than people give it credit for. It's the campaign I've seen the most people struggle with, particularly the finale.
