Is it possible to stop zombies from running to the gate ?

[Robin]

When I tried to stop those zombies from going to the gate by body blocking, it just kill me instantly and the dmg is like taking hits by tanks.

Same thing happened to me when I try to stop people rushing into stores on Black Friday sales.

You do know that 1 body aint going to do ♥♥♥♥ against roughly 500 zombies piled up, right?

The only way to stop them from running to the gates on all chapters is, and you wont believe me on this one:

Shooting and Killing them

He's talking about horde mode. Horde mode zombies later on are wonky.

You still cant stop a horde regardless unless you have a competent team, great defenses positioning AND very good weapons to keep the horde at bay and not a single one reaching the gate in Horde Mode
which round backs to what i said:

Shooting AND Killing them all

its only natural you get insta downed and killed under the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of zombies piling up on each other if you try to stop them with your body

Don't waste all your resources on building defences at hangars.

defend the hangars at the early waves. Mainly to scavenge supplies / medkits / heavy weapons & do the addditional objectives there for more supplies.

deploy infantry, set up auto turrets inbetween waves at the gate. Round wave 15, only defend that area.

It's simply easier to focus all turrets there, and tomanage and maintain them. Or at least those are my fndings.

I use a chainsaw and hold right mouse while running through the waves at the gate. It works pretty well for me when playing as a Slasher. Otherwise, try to shoot zombies on the bottom of the pile, they will (usually) fall regardless of how high they need to climb. Taser, Molotov and explosives shot/chucked at the gate can disrupt them too. You can also stick the chainsaw "though" some gates and keep them out that way.

Regular zekes can pin you down as special zombies. There needs to be like 8 zekes surrounding you, which his kinda common at gate blockades.
Slasher has a perk that can prevent that.

There are a few things that stop zombies:
- a bullet to a head :D,
- traps like barb wire, electric grid, fence (till they are completely broken and stop working),
- electric shock from Slasher or Dronemaster (though it work only for few seconds).

I have 50 hours on this game and have never seen the fabled "regular zombies pinning you down" unless you mean taking damage. Like I know when there's too many zombies around you you start taking damage, but I've never seen anyone getting actually pinned down by regular zombies. Is there any special triggers to this, like have 8+ zombies around you for X seconds, while you stand still/move only a little or what?

This is the best strat for the main gate, Exterminator can do it too if they have the masking perk.
The only thing to worry about are ghost zombies if you ever stop the chainsaw, and sometimes the horde trample you before even reaching you on your screen :(

I think some condition need to be met. It happened to me few times at final gate on Tokio's first map. I think it happens when there is a horde on map , so zekes run to gate an not really try to attack you.

But maybe they changed it. Either way the Slasher stiill has its perk there.
