How difficult do you find the Dark Carnival chapter 4 event to be?

[Geebanger0]

I’ve seen quite a few people say it’s really hard, but I’ve never had a problem with it, even playing with vanilla bots on advanced difficulty.

Its no problem if you got a good team that will move forward rather than stay one spot shooting endless zombie horde

I got stuck on some buggy geometry of the green barricades, last night, and got incapped by spit. So, I agree + the game doesn't bug out like a game from 2009 would

oh the glitch where you get stuck in some object and gotta wait for it to realize and despawn you few meters away? yeah been in that situation a lot but by tank punching stuff on the only door

Wanna point out that there is actually a grace period where the common infected stop spawning for a few seconds if you wait long enough but most people don't know that because the game tells you to 'run for the safe room'.

yes I believe it is designed to be a camp and run kind of event but its not very well communicated to the player which lead to the more popular player strategy of rushing it or saving the bile

Hard? Easy?

Whatever the hell your personal opinion is, there is a non-stop Panic Event which causes unending common infected to swarm from primarily two directions. If you have two hands and your controls aren't gummed up with spilled Coca Cola, you should be able to tank through the onslaught.

This is a skill issue

thats what im thinking, a single bile bomb or 2 pipe bombs will let you get most of the way to the safe room. You're given several medkits and an ammo pile right before the event, with time to heal up. Most of the infected come from right in front of you, and the area is so narrow that 1 or 2 people with melees can clear everything at once. idk what people find so difficult about it. Id say Dead Centers chapter 3 event is worse since its got a high risk of being insta killed by fall damage.

@JAIZ yeah, the worst is having a witch or tank spawn right by the saferoom or worse in the safe room. I actually often find horde blasting out of the safe room sometimes blocking you from getting in

its annoying but doable if you have at least 1 pipe/bile + 1 good enough melee user in the team (other 3 do cover shooting from the back too ofc)

[DeathmoreHazard_DragonFist]

I always set it on expert on solo. I never have a hard time on it. Unless the AI's dont stupidly mess things up for me.

I crouch-walk backwards through it.
Zambies deal less damage if they hit you from the back.
Then I let my teammates fire at the horde as I slowly tank through it, then I pop my adrenalin a mash M2 until the door is closed.
Works everytime.

So you just let everyone else do the shooting and you spam M2. Impressive…

i find it rather fine on normal or advanced, idk about expert because i dont play on that difficulty

The issue with this btw is that dead infected > stumbling over directly in everyone's path.

Dead = no collision, meaning momentum can be kept up, and other survivors don't have to deal with them at all.

Stumbling/Shoved = knocks some infected down, masking them as dead and requiring aiming toward the ground instead of forward and through incoming zombies. Forces someone else to ultimately take care of them.

It took me a while to learn the right balance between shooting and shoving, aka I had to git gud at mouse aiming in CS 1.6 for a few years, first. I played this so much on console, probably my #4 or 5 most played on the 360... it was fine to be bad on a controller, old build, and questionable connection, but now there are few excuses to do something so improperly as not fire your weapon at zombies, relying on shove mechanics.

Perhaps if on Expert and/or Realism, I guess this strategy is potentially safer, in certain situations.

yes it is rough but having parts of the game being difficult is necessary.

true, but having them be fair is also very important. Players don't really like the difficulty spikes Cold Stream has for example.

[geordiebroon58]

with almost 6k hours i wouldnt call it too dificult, a competent team should be capable of pushing through quickly

with the guy ahead (most likely hunting rifle) killing whatever its getting in the way with the guy in the back killing whatever is behind with the 2 in the middle killing anything dropping from the sides

its never as optimal as that and specials can change that however rushing through is never too hard its just that saferoom bit where they flood infront of you but 2 people meleeing through should do the trick

iv never found the map to be that dificult but that may be because i always just rush through and prevent the chance of a snowball

not to mention adrenaline or bile (from the first chapter) being saved is an easy counter to the horde

but yea because of the long narrow path with commons quickly coming from the sides its quite the annoying one to push if you dont move quickly

but something like coldstream can take the cake annoying straight line with never ending flood of commons

[Redhawk]

Unless you are playing expert with bots dark carnival should be pretty easy. I play versus and see survivors win all the time against human infected, besides the roller coaster run with the tank and charger that insta downs noobs
