Level Difficulty Overview

A little chart that indicates the difficulty level of the currently available maps.

Explanation

Hello,

in this short guide you will find a indication which level is how difficult. For this to make sense, we need to establish a few factors.

1. In terms of the game mode, we assume you are playing this either on barricades suspects or raid.
2. Generally speaking we assume you are playing coop with other players and not with bots.
3. In regard of player numbers, we assume you are playing with 3-5 player.

What makes a level difficult?

The levels were categorized in regard of difficulty by the following points:
Number of suspects
How many suspects are in the level

Equipment of suspects
How well are the suspects equipped in terms of weapons and protective gear like vests and headgear (Gas Masks etc.)

Length of the level
The longer a level, there more likely you are to take damage and you will use up your ammo and equipment.

Complexity of the level
How complex is the architecture of a level. The more difficulty levels have architecture that makes covering your angles more demanding. This results in players having to be more coordinated and paying more attention. The enemy AI is more likely to flank you, or is in positions that are more advantageous to them

Overview

Of course your experience may vary on the personal strength (and weaknesses) of you and your fellow players.

The easy levels generally have have a relatively low number of armed suspects with lower quality equipment. Most of the enemies will not have access to assault rifles and protective equipment. Also the levels are relatively short and usually not that complex in regard or architecture.

Moderate and hard levels are increasing the mentioned factors for difficulty. The enemies will be better equipped and the levels are longer and more complex.

The very hard levels feature both a high number of very well armed and equipped suspects, while also being very long and with complex architecture to worry about

how the hell is hotel easy, its medium to large sized and all the suspects have either smgs or ARs and also have body armor

[Pokesus]

my dumb ass thinking every level in the city was hard and the ones of the rural areas was the easiest ones.

[Aryan]

Yeah Voll House is easy, and I'd say the hotel and Data Centre are pretty tough, esp with 5 people

[AC/5 Enjoyer]

Postal service is moderate? My friend gets lazed by a crack head before we even get to the big conveyer belt area

[nullpo]

Voll is actually one of the easier side, perhaps moderate. I like bringing new players there as their first rodeo. The only things there that are a bit pain in the ass is looking for stray civvies.

I'd swap voll and data centre difficulty rating.

[TheSorcerock]

Voll's house isn't really that hard, talent agancy is a bit harder because of the civs and the guy with mg that seemingly shoots you through walls

[Fringilla]

Agreed, Voll is just kinda tedious but that's really it lol. not terribly difficult. me and a friend knocked it out in like 15 minutes the other night, and he's new and i'm really bad at this game lmfao so

[Random_Guy]

I don't find Voll House that hard
