Tips on Beating Hungers Left Behind

Unlike Survivors Left Behind, this one is much harder...

Rewards!

You might wonder why you should play this game mode, and here is the reason:

• Play 5 matches: Key x2
  
• Play 10 matches: Hunter's Chest x2
  
• Clear 1 stage: 700 G-COIN (3 Days)***

***Please be noted that the 3-days time limit only start when the reward is claimed, so you don't have to claim it immediately, but be sure to claim it before the event ends.

Your Team

A full squad of 4 is always recommended.

I won with a squad of 3 (technically there was 1 more, but that player just killed one and got disconnected), so I would say a trio is just enough.

A duo might be possible, but if a player is downed, that player is almost certainly going to die, unless the other player could clear the hungers in time.

You can go solo if you think you are formidable enough to handle hordes after hordes.

Strategies

If you have already played it before, you should have noticed that the hungers will not follow you into some of the safe zones, and that is what you can used as a shelter.

Several safe zones are shown below:

Safe Zone #1

This is the place where you start. The hungers cannot follow you into where the green arrow is pointing at.

Safe Zone #2

This is the window where you have to jump out of it and there is a horde of hungers down there already waiting for you.

You can shoot at a few of them before jumping, and the hungers cannot reach you anyway. By doing so, the hungers will all run into the wall, and you will less likely to get completely surrounded by the hungers when you land.

Safe Zone #3

This is the window before you enter a building, and there is a crafting desk next to it.

When you activate the generator upstairs, hurry downstairs and climb out of this window. (The left window in this screenshot is somehow easier to be climbed)

One of the players can stay upstairs and eliminate those hungers that tie the other hungers to themselves.

Safe Zone #4

This is the "saferoom" located right in front of you when you exit the basement lab.

After turning on the final generator near the exit, rush back to this saferoom. The Alpha hungers and etc will be following you, but don't worry, because they can't get you.

You will see some of them getting stucked at the bridge, but don't worry, because you can simply walk past them and they won't chase after you. (Unless you shoot at them)

One Last Thing...

Whenever you see a horde of hungers coming at you and they are about to reach you, then face the opposite direction and start running. (Don't walk backwards)

This is because the hungers in this nightmare difficulty have more hitpoints than those in normal/advanced in Survivors Left Behind, and hence your number of bullets in a magazine wouldn't be able to keep up with their fast pace.

Running back to your teammates and have them fighting off the hungers together is always better than running into your death alone.

(Watch where you're going, don't run into walls and corners though)

Good Luck!

That's all I can tell you from my experience, now start a match and pray for the rest!

If I am dead and the other person clears it, does it still count as a win for me? For the G Coin reward.

[Viridian Mage]

I have not encountered such situation so I am also not sure, but probably, because the mission tells you to clear a stage but does not mention that if you have to survive til the end or not.

If i die do i still get it?

[Viridian Mage]

Oh, that's why I once saw someone appeared to be "stucked" behind that cement block, thanks pzhda'tan :)

Good guide.

About the first generator you have to activate, there is a fallen over cement block with two chairs behind it in front of that generator. Up to 3 players can hide behind them and hungers can't reach them.
