Nightmare Mode: 4 player lobby
Does anyone know how you enable 4 player nightmare mode? I've seen 4 player nightmare mode lobbies in the browser and I've played in a couple, but whenever I attempt to host a nightmare lobby I am limited to 2 players max. Screenshot for proof.

When I asked the host how he got the game to allow 4 player nightmare mode he said it appeared after he beat the campaign in nightmare. He also said it should enable if you beat it in brutal mode, but I've no way to verify that as I've beaten the campaign in both nightmare and brutal and am still limited to 2 player nightmare mode.

Hey there! Thanks for playing Zombie Army - Nightmare mode is actually for up to 2 players maximum. This is for two reasons:
1 - The sheer amount of Zombie-related madness we throw at you in each mission is quite a lot for the game to handle
2 - We want to see you suffer...

Pick your slaying partner wisely - this is for the experienced Zombie Army slayers out there ONLY!!

That did not answer the question as to how others are hosting sessions in nightmare and having 4 players join. If you could share any info on this.

1. Why have Ultra quality video settings? For those of us who aren't using a toaster for a computer. Players playing on a host's computer pushing quality settings beyond what his computer is capable of are bound to feel lag, but the option is still there.

2. I've beaten nightmare several times solo as well as with a friend. I know how punishing it is. The point is I've got more then one friend who wants to play nightmare together but can't because of this restriction. Whether or not there are more then 2 players should be left up to the host.

Also, if you look at the screen shot, 4 player nightmare games are possible regardless whether it is official. I will record video next time I'm able to join one when I see it.

There are 4 player nightmare games, I don't know how to do it though. I don't have access to nightmare mode, so I have never tried to host.

Nonsense. Your game supports 4 player nightmare mode just fine! I figured out how to make 4 player nightmare lobbies. I have videos in other peoples lobbies (captainZack), I have videos of my lobbies! I don't wanna reveal too much because I honestly believe you (Rebellion) will patch it.

Honestly you need to make 4p nightmare a thing, even if achievements are disabled in the process or something. 4p mode is WAY to easy with 4 players on any difficulty.

Buyers are not interested in your excuse!

The buyer requires 4 people at the "Nightmare" difficulty level

You either fulfill the buyer's requirement, or you do not receive money, everything is simple.


I want to play threesome with my friends.
Not because it's too difficult, but because I want to play with my friends.

Instead of interfering with customers, it's better to fix the zombie Hitbox.

And other game crashes.

I think you can see from the dropped sales that people are not ready to buy poor quality.

All this time and they still haven't added nightmare for 4 people, despite people wanting it. Oh well, at least you sell a lot of dlcs right?

Suffering and challenge is good, but for 2 players it makes no sense when you can play with four players in 4 player mode and even higher with only 2 players.
There are too many zombies for 2 players in Nightmare mode. Therefore I think it should be possible for 4 players. I struggled a lot until Mission 8 but with Missin 9 it's impossible with two people.

Or will it be like this for 4 players in nightmare mode that it will cost money, €1, €2 or €10 per player slot.
So you say what we're allowed to do and what we're not allowed to do, and Dead Army thrives on 4 player co-op like you always advertise, but you've cut it down to just 2 players. Unfortunately, that's the fact. And then these pepper prices. Where the gun is already included in your previous games, you have to pay extra.
