Startle every witch.

fffffffff

stuck on blood harvest

totally cheated and used the empty room for the finale of no mercy.

holy shit, Dead Air on expert. I can barely manage it on Advanced, 9/10 times we fail the finale

Blood Harvest is mostly easy enough. Kit out someone with the hunting rifle and you'll be good to go. In the finale, bunk up in the top floor of the barn and have one person watching the ladder, one watching the hole in the wall.

Op Here, it took my friend and I over 30 restarts on Dead Air. Took 4h 30 mins to get that one. AUGH it was a long night.

On the finale, there is a ledge on the back of the radio building you can stand on where nothing but smokers can get to you.

No Mercy's finale is pretty easy if you decide to go under the ramp or stand on the ledge behind the little bunker/room thing.

Got a pic of that?

For the Blood Harvest finale, stay upstairs and just get one person each covering the stairs and three doors.
For the No Mercy finale, pray for pipe bomb spawns. That is all.

Let me give you some advice, considering I've gotten this on the "inferior" version already with PUB's letting me lead them.

No Mercy - Don't slow down, try to speedrun it and throw pipe bombs into heavily clustered areas. Having someone with good aim and prediction skills use a hunting rifle is a godsend, because it'll let you pop boomers through walls frequently. If you can't get past a witch, either have everyone run and jump past her as a group (if you have bots this isn't going to fucking work), test your luck at cr0wning (Never seen anyone do this but myself, and I've managed it 100% of the two times nobody else would. Aim for the neck, shoot like crazy), or have someone stand far away and fire, and the rest of the group peg her as she chases him down. On the finale, either hole up in a corner in the bottom of the main area (right next to the ammo), or up top on the ledge (risky to Hunters & Smokers).

Blood Harvest, just take your time (not fucking kidding), because shit runs out of the trees. This is the only campaign I'd advise using a bot on, because he'll blow those motherfuckers out when you couldn't see them with a spotlight equipped. For the finale, hole up in the corner of the barn, and pray that the tank goes after the smart team mate (He went after me, ran 3 laps around the barn before he finally died). Take your time when you make it to the cornfield (at the finale level), have one person drop down and run through and run back to set off the horde, have the other 3 keep a big fucking eye out. Most come from behind right here, this is probably one of the harder parts if you were all in that goddamn corn.

General advice: Don't be stingy with pipe bombs, throw them when you hit a crowded area. Don't take your time searching every goddamn room, just peek in, see if anything lights up, and close the door. Nothing slows a group down more than one faggot running and examining every fucking corner of every fucking path. <cont>

BIG FUCKING TIP: When you reach the saferoom, if anyone is lower than 50 health and you don't have a swarm on you (or if everyone is bleeding out), kill everyone who qualifies (if everyone does, leave one person alive obviously). You'll respawn with 50 health and the items you dropped will be where your corpse was, though it might take a bit of searching. This is really fucking helpful for any group, because it means you can save your newly found medpacks rather than use them up the instant you get in there.

And don't be hesitant with the melee, holy fuck. If someone has a hunter / smoker on them, they're immune to friendly fire. Don't feel bad if you unload a whole autoshotty clip onto them while they're pinned / grabbed, you CAN NOT hurt them, and they're immune to FF for a few seconds after they're freed (don't test this though).

Thanks.

I always have problems with Blood Harvest for some reason.

Rarely ever finish it, and the last time I played, I was limping towards the APC along with everyone else. We're barely ahead of the horde, but since everyone else is in the yellow, and I'm in the red, I'm the slowest. Everybody gets in the APC and I'm right behind them. The EXACT moment I step up onto the ramp, a smoker pulls me back and into the horde. Pretty much insta-death and the APC rolls off with everyone else while they can see me being killed in the cinematic.

I hate Blood Harvest.

>>25070322
That's why we used the barn, considering you can drop right into the APC. Although I was the only one that survived, I fucking TOLD them to stay up there until that APC door was very obviously opened. They didn't listen, the old man was the sole survivor. Kind of depressing.

on no mercy, when you get to the petrol station, if you go to the corner of loading dock on the other side of the elevator theres a roller door. if you melee it enough it will break, letting you skip the elevator sequence and most of the building.
when i saw this done i shat bricks.

>>25070079
i have taken FF while being smoked.

>>25070533
Very broken trick, and I've noted that it tends to force-spawn a Tank after you go through. I really wish I'd known about this before though, goddamn is it useful.

>>25070455
Funny enough, we were in the barn too, but we were stupid and dropped out pretty much the moment we saw the APC, so it went: RUN TOWARDS THE APC, HOLY FUCK THE APC IS STILL GOING AND IT PASSED US, RUN BACK TOWARDS THE APC WHILE HEARING A BOOMER, A TANK AND HUNTERS SPAWN!

>>25070632
Well damn, that sucks.

Speaking of sucking, anyone know a quick way to get kills aside from "just playing"? I'm not even halfway there and it's the only achievement I'm missing, and the only logical "speedy" way to get quick kills is stay away from the rescue vehicle post-arrival, but I've yet to find a good place to do this at, considering the AI's all run off and I don't want to drag someone else with me while I farm zombies. How does the safe-room glitch work in No Mercy's finale?

>>25070533
Which door? pic please?

1. Melee door in NM3
2. One person press lift so it starts the shit
3. All the zombies spawn in one location and all other zombies dissapear from the map
4. Run like hell through the entire rest of the warehouse and sewers.
5. ?????
6. PROFIT!!!
