Lesson for Newbies

[White Lion]

Somehow I'm encountering newbies recently. So I'll tell you what to do in Horde Mode.

After each wave finish, you must buy defense kit or other important items which the team need. In horde mode you must work as a team.

Spend your money after each wave either for electric volt, fence, barbwire, auto turret, medkit, ammo box, or soldiers. After you buy items, put them on a predefined location marked with white wireframe and press the action button to install it. You cannot put the defense kit item anywhere you like. Only in predefined position within the game.

The most important lesson is DON'T SAVE YOUR MONEY because without support from defense kit, you'll be dead quick! You don't bring your money to the afterlife and you don't get points for being rich! This is a zombie shooter game and not The Sims 4!

不知怎的，我最近遇到了新人。 所以我会告诉你在部落模式下该怎么做。

每波结束后，您必须购买防御套件或团队需要的其他重要物品。 在部落模式中，你必须团队合作。

每波战斗结束后，你可以把钱花在电压、栅栏、铁丝网、自动炮塔、医疗包、弹药箱或士兵上。 购买物品后，将它们放在标有白色线框的预定义位置，然后按操作按钮进行安装。 您不能将防御套件物品放置在您喜欢的任何地方。 仅在游戏中的预定位置。

最重要的教训是不要省钱，因为如果没有防御套件的支持，你很快就会死掉！ 你不会把钱带到来世，也不会因为富有而获得积分！ 这是一款僵尸射击游戏，而不是《模拟人生 4》!

I also talk about stack mines or place them too closely together will cause chain explosion.... i believe most players these days are lack of common sense some demand details like dude im not a youtuber who have the free time to sit my ass down to count pixels unless the dev is giving us the details for now use your common sense

With pocket factory and 4 mines you can regen each about 37 sec with 2 explosion with 5 sec delay its awesome throw them with fences or barbed wire or ele grid

umm a few tips and suggestions if you don't mind :

Medkits , Ammo Boxes and Auto turrets should be Avoided , You should not buy them .
Mortars , Electric Fences and Chainsaws Are the primary plan if you want to survive past wave 40 in hard mode .
You should have at least 2 fixers for Ammuntion and setting up defences in your team , You should Use Hammer melee weapon because it recharges the nearby defences .
You should explore and manage to stay up using spawned health items in the map .
Auto Turrets and machine guns are too expensive for their use , only purchase one or two Auto turrets and never place them towards the Horde , use them to cover the back of your post .
Fixers can kill team mates in early waves to transfer budget into them so they can buy and place defences .
Unlock and Buy tier 3 weapons as soon as possible .
You should always be carrying an Electric Fence just in case if any of them runs out .
And at least one person in the team alway "SHOULD SAVE MONEY" to repair the gate .

why not just use fire axe as slasher standing on top of ele grid thats how i get 5 to 6 medikit and if thereis a medic to support even better

T3 weapon ASAP is the WRONG i have been matches that EVERYONE saving for T3 while im the only one building fences, gird and etc we got wipe because im also the only FIXER who provide ammo they just keep ROLLING T3

You can buy Tier 3 weapons for all 4 members before wave 4 , what are you talking about

Unfortunately, this is not what happen every time I play the horde mode with other players, especially with Chinese guys or other newbies. He kept saving money until 400+ and run around looking for loot. 1-3 players did as you explained above and eventually we all get wiped out on wave 4-5. It happen multiple times with different player combination. This is totally ridiculous!

The cost of fence is just 50, so no need to save up to 400+. In fact no need to save more than 200+. The electric volt is very useful to slow down incoming horde or at least block some of them from passing through. Medkit cost 100, so saving up to 200 is enough for 2 rounds of medkit (6 unit pack).

If we are experienced, we basically only use 1-2 medkit until wave 10. If we require more than 2 before wave 10, then it's because some horde got through our rear defenses and hit us multiple times or pin us down. That's because the electric volts or fences are not set properly. Hence the need to buy defense kit every round.

I've played with experienced player who kept building up defenses in a form of electric volt, fence, auto turret, and ammo boxes. No need for anyone to be fixers. This way of playing kept us all 4 alive until wave 20+.

You can survive up to like wave 10 with absolutely no defeces other than 2 electric fence because first ten waves are just turkey shooting ! If you died at wave 3-4 there must be something else to it . might be the friendly fire or actively troll team members .
And saving up after placing all defences (mortars and electrics) is a great idea since you'll need a lot of budget to replace them in later waves because after wave 30 defences get overwhelmed so easily in each wave and each kit can run out for each wave if you don't manage to man the mortars in time .
Buying Heavy weapons in later waves is also essential.
You absolutely have no need to buy ammo or medkits .
I've played with a good team , people I knew , with same tactic I mentioned , We managed to survive 46 waves , altho it was before the aftermath update , new perks and weapon upgrades makes it even easier .

what class would be ideal to level up for a starter rn? for both offline and online?

same question, I've been working on gunslinger and fixer, with a touch of slasher and medic for flavor. I hear vanguard is under powered, any other suggestions?

I don't know if your agenda is to spread hoax in this forum and mislead newbies. The only way you can go far in your game, it's because the other players have set up defenses in strategic location, while you become a troll by getting rich. The skills of other players might be veteran and they compensate the lack of defenses from you.

For sure saving up money will do no good if the fences and electric volt are not there to stop the horde run pass you and head straight for the gate. It just happen again in my game last night. Some newbie guys think saving up money up to 400+ is a good idea. I was the only one putting up defenses and stayed near the gate. It was not enough to stop the horde, because many spots are lacking defenses. The horde broke through and attacked the gate.

The other guys think that they can be rich and be successful in the game by being rich! They are being a troll for saving money.

What is the use for them to have 500+ money if the horde break down the gate?.

If they had spent on building electric volt, auto turret, or fence, we could have prevented the horde from overwhelming the gate. All bullets that they have are useless to stop horde in wave 20+ because they come from all sources. There are just too many of them to stop even if we have many machine guns in place.

Every class is good in its own way. Just choose the one which suit your play style. Just do trial error with each class and perks.

I've played as gun slinger, medic, slasher, exterminator, hellraiser, etc and upgraded them all to prestige class. It's fun to try out different play style.

Good or bad depends on your play style. If the class does not suit you, than it will be considered underpower by you. I've played many classes and upgraded them to prestige classes. It's fun to try out each classes. They are all well-balanced. The devs have made sure of it.
