The moons are aligning
Tonight the moons have aligned for the first great chance we have ever had at beating all 50 waves of the horde without restarting. We have a 5 man team that is very dependable. We found a new map which we haven’t played before that is called Fuel Depot. The first time we played it was on 4/24/2010 and we made it to wave 40 I believe. I just checked and I am ranked 621 out of 417,090 players on that map. That puts me in the top 99.9985% on that map! I’m thinking we can do better tonight. The startegy is to hide in the large quonset at the end of the map. Since that map is so large one person needs to hide behind the boxes towards the back middle of the quonset otherwise the horde spawns inside of the building. 6 shields will seal off the entrance to the shed. 2 behind each bank of sandbags and two in the opening. Two players on each side of the doors will pie the entrance to take out enemies while reducing the chance of taking fire. Out of the building to the right grenades spawn and grenades should be picked up at every opportunity that isn’t too risky. Also straight outside of the building there is an ammo box. This can be grabbed safetly during each wave if you time your ammo run right. We failed last Friday when we were rushed by a large group of the enemy in wave 40 I think. We were not back far enough from the door and we did not have grenades planted strategically outside of the shields on the ground. We should always plant grenades on the ground outside of the shields. Each player can plan two grenades and carry four more. That means there can be 30 grenades in play at the start of wave 40. 10 planted and 20 being carried if everyone saves them up for the tough waves. That is pretty devastating to the horde. If we get breached, that means all 10 of our planted grenades should have blown. That means we have 20 more we can throw or plant inside of the building. Because that building is sooooo large, you can plant them on the ground as you run to the back of the building. This should take out a lot of the horde if they get through the shields. It should also give us time to get to the back of the shed so we can turn and take fire on the horde to clean up the rest. I think we have a very good chance tonight.
