Thread: *All About HORDE 2.0*

@the_suicide_fox I usually play on Blood drive. If you have a coordinated team of 5 and you stay on one side near spawn you can hold up that area for all 50 waves, but thanks for the tips I might add it to the thread.

@FuzZ-X13 and @JediJackBauer83 Your welcome and thanks for the compliment.

@D4u2s0t Some of that info you posted is already in the thread. I might go back and edit the thread and add some of the info to it and thanks for the info.

No prob. I didn't see it in the first post, and I didn't feel like reading 29 pages lol.

Only thing about Blood Drive is that you don't have a lot of wiggle room if they get up the stairs. It's a good position, but if you are forced into pistol/spawn you could end up being trapped.

Old Town has a lot of wiggle room. I have beaten waves by my lonesome, with no fortifications, by just running in circles from Boom to low to snipe to high, rinse repeat.

This is opinion, but I think blood drive is easiest if you put 3 on the steps. 1 at the top where the turret spawns, on the same side as turret. This gives you an excellent vantage point of most of the map, and you don't have to worry about anyone spawning behind you. Then, 2 down 1 flight of stairs, one on the left side, 1 by the command center. Then the other 2 can go down the hallway to prevent spawning, and take out the locusts that come through the rooms on the right there. If you are stronger players, 1 can stay in the hall up the stairs, with the other going down the stairs, if the players are not as strong, both stay together to watch their backs. This is a great strategy, because if the stairs get over-whelmed, 1 or both (as needed) in the hallway can simply turn left, and fire from where they are without having to move at all, and can still keep an eye on their post. If it gets real hairy, 1 can leave the hall and go to the stairs until cleared, and vice versa.

If you put all 5 on the steps, they will spawn in that hallway, and on later waves when you're focused on people coming up the stairs, a few stray grinders/boomers/armored kantus coming from that hallway will ruin your day. When you cover these 2 areas, you have significantly more wiggle room and freedom, and it is alot easier to keep the locust away.

Maybe they just like you, lol.

That's not what I really meant sorry. What I meant was that for wave 1 for the first time there could be 2 tickers and 6 drones, for the second time playing wave 1 there could be 3 tickers, 2 drones, 2 butchers, and 1 wild ticker.

Also tickers have a low point value so it is easier to see them in a wave rather than a grinder with a huge point value. Each wave has a certain amount of points needed to earn by a player for the wave to be completed. 1st wave could be 1000 points, 2nd wave could be 1250 points, and so on. So that is why you have a much bigger chance of seeing a ticker and a drone than a boomer.

Darn, alright sorry if some info isn't clear. I tried to go back and make things clear but sadly I hit the character limit of 30,000 characters, lol.

If there's anything you need further explaining just ask and I'll try to answer it the best that I can. Thanks.

Hey HaWa11aNPuNcH and thanks for the comment. I remember you from twitter.

Alright thanks for the information I'll look into it and add it later.

Expect:
1. Reaver
You also get Berserker here

Most of the time I get Reavers but I'll look into it. I put down expect Reavers because thats what comes as a boss most of the time with those listed enemies. If a berserker and the other bosses comes every once in a long while then I'm not going to add it. Its just saying what to expect, but thanks for the info.

remember when we all thought we were gonna hate the "ching" sound??

Lol, ya I remember.
Now I just think "Yay more money!" whenever I hear it.

It's not clear in the guide, but do you earn more cash for insane Horde than normal?

I would say so. I did Trenches solo on Insane and had over 300k banked by the time I hit the 38th wave. I was using Infinite Ammo, Super Reload, and Vampire. I swear half of every wave was tickers that run. I don't think I saw a drudge or lambent drone the whole 50 waves. Plenty of pussies carrying Boltoks and cross-map splattering my brains though. Single shot kill after the 30th and annoying as all hell. I failed the **** out of 38-49 and got the 50th wave on the first try. It was 3 Brumaks and almost nothing else.

No you earn the same amount of cash on all difficulties, but if you spend the money on a fortification then its different. Info on how much money contributes to a fortification level is in the first post.

Alright finally over 60,000 views!

Soon I'll add to the thread that cleavers costs 900 points.

does anyone know if epic can make the onyx guard smarter i would rather him be a teammate than a lone wolf straying way out past the base. it would be awesome if you could utilize the team commands from gow1 campaign on the onyx guard

I don't think it really matters with the waves although you may not get it if you pick up ammo from the enemy. I got mine with a Boltok that I bought. I think that you have to get five kills with the weapon and its ammo that it came with.
