Little late but I went to go collect one of those NERO injectors inside a cave, heard a bunch of growling and thought damn there's probably like ten in here. It was the first horde I ran into and I was scared shitless.
After you get to Iron Mikes camp you should have everything you need to clear them out... Assuming you take your time and avoid any risky maneuvers its literally like shooting fish in a barrel... You've just gotta run away and reload otherwise the barrel will eat you...
Exactly what I do well I throw 3 grenades then kill as many as I can on my way to bike then ride off and go back and do it again lol I didn't do that all times but was easiest way

The only thing I could gripe about is when you rescue a ?(stranger in need), everyone says the same thing. Not a huge deal just wish there were some different dialogues. Since you're just starting, upgrade weapons, bike, health and stamina. And enjoy the ride, the critics can piss off, they obviously didn't play and experience the whole game.

Easiest way to clear a horde. Find one and run it back to the nearest camp and let the camp sort them and then go out side and collect bounties. Worked for me :)
Some of them will only chase you to a certain point though. I’ve run away from the area where a horde is based and after a certain point they turned around and went back. Which horde can you do this with?

⚠️Pro Tip⚠️ Leave your bike at the edge of your running range based on stamina and pointed in the opposite direction for fast exits. Drive away until they stop following you and they will flow back into their cave. You can pick off the ones at the rear and or repeat the process. High stamina, high capacity/fire rate weapons and molotovs are your friend!
@FIREWATER 1960 yeah you could jump right in the bin even if the whole horde sees you they'll still flock around for a while but they eventually leave as long as there's not a speaker above going off then you're in big trouble like at a Nero site
The first time I've seen a horde was in the two train carts next to a NERO outpost. I've tried stealthily making my way into the outpost undetected until I missed a speaker. Let's just say, they almost killed me until by sheer luck, I managed to ride away. Thinking about that makes me want to go back there and destroy them, since I have better gear.
I remember turning on the generator at one of the Nero points, of course there's that One speaker that I didn't shoot down and a horde outta nowhere started chasing my ass down the tunnel. It was one the most terrifying moments in my PC gaming career.
The first horde I ran into completely caught me off guard. I was clearing out a nest, after clearing out the nest I turn around and there were 50+ freakers running right at me. Long story shot: I tried to run but quickly got overwhelmed and died.
First one I saw were a safe enough distance away to quietly watch them walk past and since I had only a pistol I didn’t have much choice. Obviously I then got on my bike and rode all guns blazing into it, rude not to.
I remember a time I was eliminating a marauder camp, next thing I know I start hearing the music that plays when you see a horde. The horde flooded the whole camp. The upside was that the camp was cleared, the down side was they cut me off from my bike. I was ill equipped because obviously the horde wasn't part of the plan. I ran quite a distance trying to get to a nearby encampment or Nero camp. Until I got distracted getting freaks off my back and I accidentally ran off of a cliff. I honestly wasn't even mad, I literally laughed if off. Had some good times with this game 💯
I miss the time when the “jorraptor” screen would show up with the keyboard noises haha, put it baack :) - (found the channel when u started posting about horizon) keep up the good work o/
Find a bush, hide in said bush, throw an attracter, throw a bomb/molotov after they group up, wait a few moments, repeat. Should get them thinned out enough to finish off with guns
A very cool trick that I use is first hide near a bush. Use an attractor get a couple of them in close proximity and throw a grenade at them. Do this a couple of times till detected and then finish them off normally.
I usually try every one I see like “oh I got this” and then 2 seconds in I’m like “oh I don’t got this” then about 20 seconds in I’m like “I REALLY DONT GOT THIS”
If anyone is wondering why you don't get a notification when you kill the Old Sawmill hord it's because it's tied to a story Mission late in the game and when you get to that mission and you already killed that hord it'll just skip that part of the story Mission acting like you just killed it.
@@captainblastems3367 nice maybe it's because there was one or two left so when you got to that mission it just re spawned the whole hord. Or or they made it do that in the update
Richard Drown I wanted the horde kill So badly, so it has travelled all around the map and back the Saw Mill several times, to see if they respawn, but they never did
Use attractors to create choke points especially in corridors. This works even when being chased and works better infact. Throw the attractor abit ahead of you so any freakers directly behind you will get pulled to it instead of ignoring it then just spam throwables.
I have been avoiding hordes. Whenever I see them i get massive anxiety! I just found out i am mandated to defeat three hordes throughout the main campaign. Goddamnit hahahaha
The first thing to get to defeat a horde is a machine gun, which you get by defeating 4 hordes, and you can easily defeat those hordes with the machine gun you don’t yet have. Also, use every other tactic in the game by using those tactics when best.
A tactic I learned on my second horde is that if you jog in a circle the enemies that swing at you will miss so all you need to do is sprint ahead of them a bit shoot and then jog them again to get stamina back up. Played on hard and this worked every single time. Barely got touched.
I've already ranked up enough that I get HP back with headshots & two birds one stone. The melee skills are actually GOOD btw. Also, I got the deluxe edition so I have early access to the monkey wrench skill which I think is a Tier 4 Survival Skill. Very handy. It's really helpful to get the "repair melee with scrap" skill. That is truly a lifesaver. As well as the kill when grappled skill. And double powered up melees.
I have found the best way (though expensive crafting-wise) is to find a bush near them and just start yeeting explosives at them. Always start with attractor bombs and then move on to attractors + your fav explosive/burn (grenades are probably best). Do it right and you should wipe out most of a large horde in about 2 min
When throwing molotovs Etc. From bushes/stealth cover, remember the hordes *CAN* see you for a split second at the exact moment you toss the object, Deacon breaks cover to throw further (realistically). Time your Tosses wisely.
I've fought two hordes so far without using any guns. Easy to do with some explosives, smoke bombs and the right terrain. Only thing I really use in game is the crossbow.
so many things i havent thought of or simply forgotten. had to fight about 3 hordes through the story and so far ive just placed an attracter, threw in some throwables and ran my ass off because these hordes make me so nervous. i think its going to be alot easyer after hearing these tips
Use a tunnel. I maxed out stamina first, then hit and run the horde that is in the nests south of the wizard island. i must have wiped out 3 /4 of the group just by hitting and running. Most of my skills atm is just survival. focus ill do last . Another tip is as soon as the leading freaker from the horde arrives near you roll backward, go into focus and blast, combined with the roll less stamina you can dodge a few hits. Then in the tunnel after a bit they stop chasing you . Then i sneak up behind them and just sliently take out the stragglers. Have you guys noticed that there is always one or two from the horde group that walks back? Great tips man.
I got the SMP (4th grade) before even getting to Lost Lake LOL. My 1st playthrough I was so scared of hordes but now Im just plowing through them with shitty early game guns and molotovs xD its so much more satisfying then just using an LMG to kill them
Spoiler alert.. Near the end of the game their are a couple of hordes that you will be forced to deal with. The sawmill will be included so don't go attacking it early on, it won't count as it is recommended to do it end game. Best way to fight any in my opinion is a Chicago Chopper and a mg55 combo and just train the zombies in tight spaces and you're good to go. And I had just recently finished the game I'm on my way to 100% thanks to you're tips.
@@nugdam8758 it will most likely respawn as did I find out the hard way when I the missions tells you to enter again didn't see them all coming honestly
@@gabrielperez3622 lucky for some reason they weren't their in the first barn so I was thinking I didn't need to do anything untill they all started running from the 2 barn which is behind the train
I got days gone yesterday and just got the trust level 2 smg at Tuckers Camp. I used it to kill the horde at the lake right by it. I did the same pipe bomb tactic and it was quite easy. Thanks for the help Jor!
It’s for free I’ve just got back playing it I bought pre order and stopped playing after completing and now I’m back for platinum I have killed all horses but I want to know how other people do it
On my third playthrough right now i am on hard mode and let me tell you. Horde clearing just became a horror movie, after the massscre i always have a quick breath and my heart is pumping crazy
When the hoards bunch up in small passage areas, this is the best time to use traps, and the large flame Grenades, followed by headshots with the increased headshot damage and reduced recoil perks, 1 shot kills. ALSO, try not to shoot enemies whose reticle has already shown red, the way bullets and act as human shields for the fellow hoarders
Faced my first horde tonight... Death Train Horde. I was getting lavender for boozer and there they were. I said "eh, i got one full auto, good enough, let's go!" some pretty intense shit! Environmental hazards came in clutch. Great game, very underrated imo.
I get a heavy SMG, pop a stamina cocktail, pop an attractor, turn around and shoot. Repeat. Also use explosives whenever available. Bottlenecks are helpful too such as bridges.
i started this a year ago and hated it deleted it after couple of hours but decided to recently give it another try its buggy in parts but ive got into it this time. ive avoided hordes as much as i can these tips will help me out once i get the firepower to start taking them on
My load out for hordes is the rpd or whatever the machine gun the auto shotgun you get that at 10 hordes killed but initial you kill 10 hordes I recommend the Chicago chopper and pistol I recommend the one he said to use
Rock Chuck, MG55, PDW..... Rock Chuck is capable of clearing entire hordes really quickly without being noticed... Mg55 you can easily stand infront of a tunnel and just melt the horde before they have a chance to do anything... PDW is a good long ranged weapon with insane accuracy and a high mag capacity for picking off stragglers or teasing a horde before you get up close with the mg55.... I do the same thing with grenades and pipebombs as you, although I prefer to waste as many as I can before the horde notices me and hit them inside their cave or as theyre feeding. I prefer using remote bombs to detonate barrel bombs but I put them on the edge of the blast to spread the damage as much as I can. Usually Ill place 2 or 3 in a chevron pattern and detonate them in the center of the horde. Another good idea would be to go to a horde cave or feeding zone while they're gone and place a ton of remote bombs spread out and a single or multiple mines in the very back of the cave... Horde detonates itself and you can firebomb the cave to finish them off.
I did that too carefully set up a trap for the horde, used a red barrel proximity mine and attractors and had one random freaker come through and set the whole thing off.
I am still early in the game, even though I have over 30 hours in and have killed 2 hoards so far. I found it easiest to kill them in early game play by making them chase you around and far. They will break into smaller groups and easy to take on 5 or do at a time
Thank you! I've been wasting all types of time trying to set proximity and detonator bombs at all of the exits and scoping out each place first and I just get my ass pummeled every time. Run and gun with all machine guns and sucking down focus tonics does the trick. Cheers!
I took one out super early that was over top of a nero site and on a railroad track by just riding over the fringes with my bike, riding away, repairing my bike, wash rinse repeat. I was like level 3, died a whole bunch of times, but refused to give up.
No mention of attractors or attractor bombs. If you use an attractor, you can throw explosives once they've grouped up or if you use the attractor bomb, throw it, get some distance and start shooting after the explosion.
A strategy I use is hiding. I you can find a bush near the horde you can hide like they are any other enemy. Then throw an attractor that will bring the horde to it. Then throw a bomb at group. Rinse and repeat until horde only a few remain and you can clean them up. Harder for the larger hordes cause the freakers can spread out and stumble on you. But it works great.
Also if you can do it try and take them out in smaller pieces track the attention of a dozen or so and run like crazy not all of them will follow you if you don’t start shooting strait away. Simply take them out then rinse and repeat. Plus even if you leave the area the horde will not increase straightaway allowing you time to go to your bike or camp to get more ammo and start again.
You didn't mention the attractor weapons. They are suuuper useful for crippling the horde before finishing with guns. Toss an attractor or attractor bomb and they'll swarm it and thnm toss other explosives/flame weapons on the crowd. In a pinch if you're getting overrun and you toss an attractor at your feet, 90% of them stop chasing you and swarm around it and you can kill the stragglers still following you and catch your breath/reload etc. This is particularly useful for dealing with hordes out in the open where choke points are more scarce.
Chicago chopper, Smp9, RPD or MG 55. Plenty of attractors, frags, pipe bombs, molotovs and napalm Molotov, hide in a bush use attractors and use throwables. You'll clear most of them and then you just mow them down with you guns.
I’m pretty sure the biggest ones are the sawmill and the unlisted one in iron butte, which is crazy if you haven’t already fought it I’m not sure if mine was glitched but they seemed to just keep spawning
Killed my first horde by accident lol when I was gathering lavender for boozer I was like fk it I gotta do it xD The 2nd one tho I didn't get to kill I was looking through houses when a group of bikers rode up seen my bike I they seen me started firing all I here I AAAAHHHHRAAAAAH I was like oh shvt... they attracted the horde to the town an I was low on supplies I stood no chance killed as many as I could running away had no time to get to my bike grabbed one of their bikes an jus spawned it at base I had no choice xD was not ready for it
Love this game. Still playing it and started first run recently now that the bugs are gone! I think the M14 is better than mws due to the one shot kill but my strat is more of a draw out until they turn around and pic off the back few. Takes longer but I never get overwhelmed or even hit
Hey so if this will help anyone even tho this video is a couple years old, if any hoard doesn't detect you, you can sneak nearby and hide in tall grass or sometimes up high though this is more risky, just within throwing range of the hoard and throw grenades and pipe bombs, you have to be careful if you're up high cause they might still see you and chase, but if you're in tall grass and not too close they will just run towards the explosion and you can throw as many pipe bombs and grenades and molitovs and napalm as you have and clear out almost if not all of the hoard without them ever chasing you, if there's some left just go shoot them
SMP9 is a game changer from early game all the way to late game unless you’re doing very long range content against some niche marauder camps, which is really the only time the PDW takes any sort of precedence. Anyone here have any sort of experience with the Auto Shotgun against the big baddies or hoards? I feel as if though the Chicago Chopper reigns king over all weapons regarding hoards, but I can’t say the same for the Auto Shotgun specifically because I’ve never used it.
I found the Chicago chopper to be the best weapon, it takes down most zombies with a chest shot and the uncommon headshot. I’ve take down a few hordes with that alone…
Sometimes it isn't a bad idea to jump on your bike and ride a short distance away mid fight. Just give yourself enough time to get on and get it started. Don't ride too far away either because I'm not sure how the horde reset mechanic works.
Some more tips: Never fight on horde territory. Use attractors to lure the horde where you want it to go It's always best to fight them in an open field, or from high ground, so you can always have an overview and can't get flanked. Also they physically can't outrun you so when you get far enough away from the red zone, the back line of the horde will turn around and walk back, which gives you time to reload, or get more ammo from your bike. If the horde is in a cave, lure them to the entrance, cause it's a choke point. Park your bike about 200m away, and try not to guide the horde towards it, cause if you run out of ammo but your pushed passed your bike you're screwed.
I swear , ever time I see a video about this game, especially involving a horde makes me wanna play it again. I know it has problems with glitches but I Absolutely love this game! I literally can't get enough of it. There's supposed to be a hard to get machine gun in the game but I'm not sure what its called or how to get it. If anyone knows I'd really appreciate you filling me in. Thanx😉
I know this is an older video but the game just came out on PC not long ago so here I am :) My favourite loadout for hordes is SMP9 , auto shotgun (I think you get that after 25% of hordes are beaten) and MG55 (level 3 at Tuckers camp) a shotgun may sound dumb for hordes but the rate of fire of the auto shotgun and massive damage/spread makes it well worth it (you can take out the smaller hoards with the shotgun alone, I got the gone in 60 seconds trophy using just the auto shotgun on a smaller horde... that's take out a horde in under a minute) if you are playing in normal mode 1 shot from the auto shotgun can take out half a dozen freaks when they are clumped close together and you shoot them point blank I'm currently on my 2nd playthrough doing survival II NG+ mode (i'm about 75% done) and I've used this loadout for the entire game. the IDF pup you're using at 4:43 is also an amazing gun for hordes (way better than the chicago chopper imo ) you get the pup after 50% of hordes are done. this game was seriously under rated when it came out (I don't know how the performance was on ps4 so maybe that brought the review scores down) on PC it runs amazing and is one of the best ports I've played. I'm running it at native 4k and get an average of around 75 fps even with the bigger hordes on screen
I've seen some streamers use the auto shotgun & barrett sniper rifle. And that straight up shmelted the hordes he was doing with no explosives or Molly's.
I remember all of the later game areas in the south where people were like "oh no swarm/horde/breaker" and so on, but by this point I had the Tommy gun and just shredded everything, hell, on my first encounter with the reacher he was done in
When your just chilling on your bike and you drift round a corner and just over the brow of a hill you see a massive horde just trolling towards you. Time to reach for a change of pants!

Breaker vs Horde...... if you cut the Nero site alarm on at the Old Saw Mill, you will see one of the greatest fights ever. 4 Breakers vs a horde.

I found that bombs can really smash the horde sometimes to to speed it up you know

Zombie attractors and bombs, there is zero need for stamina or kiting. Later some attractor bombs are ridiculous and of course Napalm.

My first too. I was attacked by a random zombie, fired an unsilenced shot at it and they just started pouring out of the train car. I didn't make it.
I remember turning on the generator at one of the Nero points,
of course there's that One speaker that I didn't shoot down and a horde outta nowhere started chasing my ass down the tunnel. It was one the most terrifying moments in my PC gaming career.
The first horde I ran into completely caught me off guard. I was clearing out a nest, after clearing out the nest I turn around and there were 50+ freakers running right at me. Long story shot: I tried to run but quickly got overwhelmed and died.
First one I saw were a safe enough distance away to quietly watch them walk past and since I had only a pistol I didn’t have much choice. Obviously I then got on my bike and rode all guns blazing into it, rude not to.
@@Thomas-jg2fmlove it
I tried fighting hordes early and was getting pissed off 😂 no good weapons at the moment lol
Ikr l just avoid them 4 now! 😆😂🤣
Those hordes terrify me.
You have to use the environment, I did one with just my basic sidearm and a rifle you get from the beggining missions.
Lol sounds like me at old sawmill
What i did i hid in the bush and spam molotovs and pipe bombs at the attractors i get from killing the rippers
I remember a time I was eliminating a marauder camp, next thing I know I start hearing the music that plays when you see a horde. The horde flooded the whole camp. The upside was that the camp was cleared, the down side was they cut me off from my bike. I was ill equipped because obviously the horde wasn't part of the plan. I ran quite a distance trying to get to a nearby encampment or Nero camp. Until I got distracted getting freaks off my back and I accidentally ran off of a cliff. I honestly wasn't even mad, I literally laughed if off.
Had some good times with this game 💯
That feeling when you go to start shooting and all you hear *click*
The wolves scare me every time at least when they sneak attack
my first encounter with a wolf was.. not good.

I miss the time when the “jorraptor” screen would show up with the keyboard noises haha, put it baack :) - (found the channel when u started posting about horizon) keep up the good work o/
Find a bush, hide in said bush, throw an attracter, throw a bomb/molotov after they group up, wait a few moments, repeat. Should get them thinned out enough to finish off with guns
My exact strategy 😅
A very cool trick that I use is first hide near a bush. Use an attractor get a couple of them in close proximity and throw a grenade at them. Do this a couple of times till detected and then finish them off normally.
That is exactly what I do lol. I always make sure they are in their cave first tho then do exactly as you said
Attractor bombs are a Drifter's best friend in a horde battle.
I can honestly say that this is the best video game I've ever played. And I've been playing games ever since the '80's.
Far cry 5 and Far Cry New Dawn are similar to this.
@@V.D.22 Far cry is woke garbage.
I mean its probably not even in my top ten. Its still a great game and the hordes are supreme.

I usually try every one I see like “oh I got this” and then 2 seconds in I’m like “oh I don’t got this” then about 20 seconds in I’m like “I REALLY DONT GOT THIS”
If anyone is wondering why you don't get a notification when you kill the Old Sawmill hord it's because it's tied to a story Mission late in the game and when you get to that mission and you already killed that hord it'll just skip that part of the story Mission acting like you just killed it.
Richard Drown it respawned it for me
@@captainblastems3367 nice maybe it's because there was one or two left so when you got to that mission it just re spawned the whole hord. Or or they made it do that in the update
Mine also respawned completely when I got the mission
Edit: it’s not there 😭 fucking fuck
Richard Drown OMG I searched for this exact comment, cause I just had this issue, thank youuu🙏🏼
Richard Drown I wanted the horde kill So badly, so it has travelled all around the map and back the Saw Mill several times, to see if they respawn, but they never did
Use attractors to create choke points especially in corridors. This works even when being chased and works better infact. Throw the attractor abit ahead of you so any freakers directly behind you will get pulled to it instead of ignoring it then just spam throwables.
I have been avoiding hordes. Whenever I see them i get massive anxiety! I just found out i am mandated to defeat three hordes throughout the main campaign. Goddamnit hahahaha
Panic mode taking on the surprise hoarde when doing the mission that has you finding some guy deep in a cave
OMG...just did that mission..they dropped from the rood... scared the Bezeezjuz outta me bro!!
anything cave-related in this game is terrifying.
I just did that mission yesterday, when I died and came back I placed mines where they dropped and ran out of there like crazy 🤣🤣🤣
The first thing to get to defeat a horde is a machine gun, which you get by defeating 4 hordes, and you can easily defeat those hordes with the machine gun you don’t yet have. Also, use every other tactic in the game by using those tactics when best.
So the first thing to do to be able to defeat 1 horde is to defeat 4 hordes????🤔
A tactic I learned on my second horde is that if you jog in a circle the enemies that swing at you will miss so all you need to do is sprint ahead of them a bit shoot and then jog them again to get stamina back up. Played on hard and this worked every single time. Barely got touched.
D Dd Almost like the call of duty zombies training method
The weapon 'rock chuck' or chuck rock can't remember is great. Obtained from the bounty Hunter missions it's a fully silenced assault rifle
You also can get it if you have 85% on hordekiller story
I completed bounty hunter 100% and didn't get it :/
@@mubba1149 my mistake it's the maraurder camps.
Loving the Day Gone coverage, keep it up ! 😉👍
But why? He basically just tells you to play the game using the perks you are given.
I've already ranked up enough that I get HP back with headshots & two birds one stone. The melee skills are actually GOOD btw. Also, I got the deluxe edition so I have early access to the monkey wrench skill which I think is a Tier 4 Survival Skill. Very handy. It's really helpful to get the "repair melee with scrap" skill. That is truly a lifesaver. As well as the kill when grappled skill. And double powered up melees.
Same here
I have found the best way (though expensive crafting-wise) is to find a bush near them and just start yeeting explosives at them. Always start with attractor bombs and then move on to attractors + your fav explosive/burn (grenades are probably best). Do it right and you should wipe out most of a large horde in about 2 min
Yeah, did that yesterday. Good thing to do, horde went down in 3 mins
When throwing molotovs Etc. From bushes/stealth cover, remember the hordes *CAN* see you for a split second at the exact moment you toss the object, Deacon breaks cover to throw further (realistically). Time your Tosses wisely.
I've fought two hordes so far without using any guns. Easy to do with some explosives, smoke bombs and the right terrain. Only thing I really use in game is the crossbow.
The crossbow: almost unlimited ammo, silent, good distance.. perfect weapon in the beginning of the game.
so many things i havent thought of or simply forgotten.
had to fight about 3 hordes through the story and so far ive just placed an attracter, threw in some throwables and ran my ass off because these hordes make me so nervous.
i think its going to be alot easyer after hearing these tips
They key is to use NERO injectors to increase your stamina as much as possible. Also helpful is the perk to roll without losing stamina.
Im lvl 30 got 150 stamina. Focus and health work much better for me.
Use a tunnel. I maxed out stamina first, then hit and run the horde that is in the nests south of the wizard island. i must have wiped out 3 /4 of the group just by hitting and running. Most of my skills atm is just survival. focus ill do last . Another tip is as soon as the leading freaker from the horde arrives near you roll backward, go into focus and blast, combined with the roll less stamina you can dodge a few hits. Then in the tunnel after a bit they stop chasing you . Then i sneak up behind them and just sliently take out the stragglers. Have you guys noticed that there is always one or two from the horde group that walks back? Great tips man.
I got the SMP (4th grade) before even getting to Lost Lake LOL. My 1st playthrough I was so scared of hordes but now Im just plowing through them with shitty early game guns and molotovs xD its so much more satisfying then just using an LMG to kill them
Spoiler alert.. Near the end of the game their are a couple of hordes that you will be forced to deal with. The sawmill will be included so don't go attacking it early on, it won't count as it is recommended to do it end game. Best way to fight any in my opinion is a Chicago Chopper and a mg55 combo and just train the zombies in tight spaces and you're good to go. And I had just recently finished the game I'm on my way to 100% thanks to you're tips.
Oops I already took out the sawmill horde
@@nugdam8758 it will most likely respawn as did I find out the hard way when I the missions tells you to enter again didn't see them all coming honestly
I killed the horde before the mission and they didn’t respawn when mission came around.. I’m at 100% achievement now so no need to redo again.
@@gabrielperez3622 lucky for some reason they weren't their in the first barn so I was thinking I didn't need to do anything untill they all started running from the 2 barn which is behind the train
xLonely_Goatx I’m 4-5missions deep and still have lvl1 guns.
Picked up and mg45 from a ripper… and all of a sudden I’m shooting hordes… from a very far distance… but I’m doing it. Lol
I got days gone yesterday and just got the trust level 2 smg at Tuckers Camp. I used it to kill the horde at the lake right by it. I did the same pipe bomb tactic and it was quite easy. Thanks for the help Jor!
I’m late to days gone, got it for free with PlayStation plus. Killed my first horde, I killed the train horde, couldn’t be more hyped.
It’s for free I’ve just got back playing it I bought pre order and stopped playing after completing and now I’m back for platinum I have killed all horses but I want to know how other people do it
On my third playthrough right now i am on hard mode and let me tell you. Horde clearing just became a horror movie, after the massscre i always have a quick breath and my heart is pumping crazy
I fr got mad o'brian made me go into a dang horde cave and I couldn't see nothing with a dang horde coming at me smh😭😭😭
I got a laugh out of the captioning turning the word hordes into “warts”.
When the hoards bunch up in small passage areas, this is the best time to use traps, and the large flame Grenades, followed by headshots with the increased headshot damage and reduced recoil perks, 1 shot kills.
ALSO, try not to shoot enemies whose reticle has already shown red, the way bullets and act as human shields for the fellow hoarders
Faced my first horde tonight... Death Train Horde. I was getting lavender for boozer and there they were. I said "eh, i got one full auto, good enough, let's go!" some pretty intense shit! Environmental hazards came in clutch. Great game, very underrated imo.
I get a heavy SMG, pop a stamina cocktail, pop an attractor, turn around and shoot. Repeat. Also use explosives whenever available. Bottlenecks are helpful too such as bridges.
i started this a year ago and hated it deleted it after couple of hours but decided to recently give it another try its buggy in parts but ive got into it this time. ive avoided hordes as much as i can these tips will help me out once i get the firepower to start taking them on
My load out for hordes is the rpd or whatever the machine gun the auto shotgun you get that at 10 hordes killed but initial you kill 10 hordes I recommend the Chicago chopper and pistol I recommend the one he said to use
I meant uintil
I beat the second hardest horde in 10 minutes for this loadout
Rock Chuck, MG55, PDW..... Rock Chuck is capable of clearing entire hordes really quickly without being noticed... Mg55 you can easily stand infront of a tunnel and just melt the horde before they have a chance to do anything... PDW is a good long ranged weapon with insane accuracy and a high mag capacity for picking off stragglers or teasing a horde before you get up close with the mg55....
I do the same thing with grenades and pipebombs as you, although I prefer to waste as many as I can before the horde notices me and hit them inside their cave or as theyre feeding.
I prefer using remote bombs to detonate barrel bombs but I put them on the edge of the blast to spread the damage as much as I can. Usually Ill place 2 or 3 in a chevron pattern and detonate them in the center of the horde.
Another good idea would be to go to a horde cave or feeding zone while they're gone and place a ton of remote bombs spread out and a single or multiple mines in the very back of the cave... Horde detonates itself and you can firebomb the cave to finish them off.
Great tips! I know I'm late to the party, but I recently got it on PC and it's soooo much more fun!
I did that too carefully set up a trap for the horde, used a red barrel proximity mine and attractors and had one random freaker come through and set the whole thing off.
For the most hordes You can just wait, until they go into their caves, lure them out and let them run into mines, your gunfire and Molotovs etc
I am still early in the game, even though I have over 30 hours in and have killed 2 hoards so far. I found it easiest to kill them in early game play by making them chase you around and far. They will break into smaller groups and easy to take on 5 or do at a time
Lead the hordes to one of the camps except for O'Leary Mountain. And just behold the magic thst would enfold. Seriously try it.
shiv tangloo what happens? The camp helps ?
Brittany Oliveira just try it for yourself. I don't want to spoil the fun.
@@brittanyoliveira8897 My guess is that the horde will completely overrun the camp and kill everyone in it.
FIREWATER 1960 you should probably ride your bike just slow enough so you don't lose sight of the horde or vice versa.
I brought a horde to Tucker’s camp haha and their gunner killed all of em.
Thank you!
I've been wasting all types of time trying to set proximity and detonator bombs at all of the exits and scoping out each place first and I just get my ass pummeled every time. Run and gun with all machine guns and sucking down focus tonics does the trick.
Cheers!
Just bought this game now that i own a ps4. Look forward to watching your videos on this as im a fan of your AC videos
I took one out super early that was over top of a nero site and on a railroad track by just riding over the fringes with my bike, riding away, repairing my bike, wash rinse repeat. I was like level 3, died a whole bunch of times, but refused to give up.
A key tip is to use focus ie click right analog stick to save bullets and pcik off loads head shots in the crowd of hordes
No mention of attractors or attractor bombs. If you use an attractor, you can throw explosives once they've grouped up or if you use the attractor bomb, throw it, get some distance and start shooting after the explosion.
Thanks for sharing. This is really a great game!
A strategy I use is hiding. I you can find a bush near the horde you can hide like they are any other enemy. Then throw an attractor that will bring the horde to it. Then throw a bomb at group. Rinse and repeat until horde only a few remain and you can clean them up. Harder for the larger hordes cause the freakers can spread out and stumble on you. But it works great.
Also if you can do it try and take them out in smaller pieces track the attention of a dozen or so and run like crazy not all of them will follow you if you don’t start shooting strait away. Simply take them out then rinse and repeat. Plus even if you leave the area the horde will not increase straightaway allowing you time to go to your bike or camp to get more ammo and start again.
You didn't mention the attractor weapons. They are suuuper useful for crippling the horde before finishing with guns. Toss an attractor or attractor bomb and they'll swarm it and thnm toss other explosives/flame weapons on the crowd. In a pinch if you're getting overrun and you toss an attractor at your feet, 90% of them stop chasing you and swarm around it and you can kill the stragglers still following you and catch your breath/reload etc. This is particularly useful for dealing with hordes out in the open where choke points are more scarce.
If there’s a ladder nearby climb it and pick the zombies off one by one
Chicago chopper, Smp9, RPD or MG 55. Plenty of attractors, frags, pipe bombs, molotovs and napalm Molotov, hide in a bush use attractors and use throwables. You'll clear most of them and then you just mow them down with you guns.
The Chicago Chopper with Up The Ante skill and upgraded magazine capacity is awesome.
Waited sooo long for this game to come out, and after finally getting on this game. Its everything I thought it was gonna be.
I’m pretty sure the biggest ones are the sawmill and the unlisted one in iron butte, which is crazy if you haven’t already fought it I’m not sure if mine was glitched but they seemed to just keep spawning
I never noticed how big that one in iron Butte was, the m60 just mows everything down so fast and easy lol
I did the sawmill early on and walked away with 500 bounties, is there no other hordes like that?
@@lucifer616161 no that's the biggest one.
If you can defeat that horde you can defeat every other horde in the game
Well that sucks then, Yeah i had to double back to my bike twice to restoke ammo
@@lucifer616161 yeah same with me.
Never had to for any other horde though, sadly.
A lot of the hordes you only need the Chicago chopper
The auto shotgun is next level. It’s almost too good.
Killed my first horde by accident lol when I was gathering lavender for boozer I was like fk it I gotta do it xD
The 2nd one tho I didn't get to kill I was looking through houses when a group of bikers rode up seen my bike I they seen me started firing all I here I AAAAHHHHRAAAAAH I was like oh shvt... they attracted the horde to the town an I was low on supplies I stood no chance killed as many as I could running away had no time to get to my bike grabbed one of their bikes an jus spawned it at base I had no choice xD was not ready for it
Love this game. Still playing it and started first run recently now that the bugs are gone! I think the M14 is better than mws due to the one shot kill but my strat is more of a draw out until they turn around and pic off the back few. Takes longer but I never get overwhelmed or even hit
I saw a guy with high rank perks mowing down infected with the MWS bullpup rifle, truly a badass gun
Hey so if this will help anyone even tho this video is a couple years old, if any hoard doesn't detect you, you can sneak nearby and hide in tall grass or sometimes up high though this is more risky, just within throwing range of the hoard and throw grenades and pipe bombs, you have to be careful if you're up high cause they might still see you and chase, but if you're in tall grass and not too close they will just run towards the explosion and you can throw as many pipe bombs and grenades and molitovs and napalm as you have and clear out almost if not all of the hoard without them ever chasing you, if there's some left just go shoot them
SMP9 is a game changer from early game all the way to late game unless you’re doing very long range content against some niche marauder camps, which is really the only time the PDW takes any sort of precedence. Anyone here have any sort of experience with the Auto Shotgun against the big baddies or hoards? I feel as if though the Chicago Chopper reigns king over all weapons regarding hoards, but I can’t say the same for the Auto Shotgun specifically because I’ve never used it.
It’s the bloody music 😂 as soon as you hear you just wanna gtfo
Thanks man. I’m about to follow Iron Mike down south.
I found the Chicago chopper to be the best weapon, it takes down most zombies with a chest shot and the uncommon headshot. I’ve take down a few hordes with that alone…
Sometimes it isn't a bad idea to jump on your bike and ride a short distance away mid fight. Just give yourself enough time to get on and get it started. Don't ride too far away either because I'm not sure how the horde reset mechanic works.
Some more tips:
Never fight on horde territory. Use attractors to lure the horde where you want it to go It's always best to fight them in an open field, or from high ground, so you can always have an overview and can't get flanked. Also they physically can't outrun you so when you get far enough away from the red zone, the back line of the horde will turn around and walk back, which gives you time to reload, or get more ammo from your bike.
If the horde is in a cave, lure them to the entrance, cause it's a choke point.
Park your bike about 200m away, and try not to guide the horde towards it, cause if you run out of ammo but your pushed passed your bike you're screwed.
I swear , ever time I see a video about this game, especially involving a horde makes me wanna play it again. I know it has problems with glitches but I Absolutely love this game! I literally can't get enough of it. There's supposed to be a hard to get machine gun in the game but I'm not sure what its called or how to get it. If anyone knows I'd really appreciate you filling me in. Thanx😉
Thanks for the tips Brody! Subscribed
I know this is an older video but the game just came out on PC not long ago so here I am :)
My favourite loadout for hordes is SMP9 , auto shotgun (I think you get that after 25% of hordes are beaten) and MG55 (level 3 at Tuckers camp)
a shotgun may sound dumb for hordes but the rate of fire of the auto shotgun and massive damage/spread makes it well worth it (you can take out the smaller hoards with the shotgun alone, I got the gone in 60 seconds trophy using just the auto shotgun on a smaller horde... that's take out a horde in under a minute)
if you are playing in normal mode 1 shot from the auto shotgun can take out half a dozen freaks when they are clumped close together and you shoot them point blank
I'm currently on my 2nd playthrough doing survival II NG+ mode (i'm about 75% done) and I've used this loadout for the entire game.
the IDF pup you're using at 4:43 is also an amazing gun for hordes (way better than the chicago chopper imo ) you get the pup after 50% of hordes are done.
this game was seriously under rated when it came out (I don't know how the performance was on ps4 so maybe that brought the review scores down)
on PC it runs amazing and is one of the best ports I've played. I'm running it at native 4k and get an average of around 75 fps even with the bigger hordes on screen
I've seen some streamers use the auto shotgun & barrett sniper rifle. And that straight up shmelted the hordes he was doing with no explosives or Molly's.
Bawkbasoup is the guy. He speed runs Resident Evil series
these are Great tips, love ur cover n now detail n vary all ur tips
very well done video n fast n to the point
Takes more then 2 shots if you play on normal and not easy mode 😁 also how do you get that red bar up top for hords?
I remember all of the later game areas in the south where people were like "oh no swarm/horde/breaker" and so on, but by this point I had the Tommy gun and just shredded everything, hell, on my first encounter with the reacher he was done in
I just started this game. And saw first hord at Nero. I ran away and will never ever go there again.
When your just chilling on your bike and you drift round a corner and just over the brow of a hill you see a massive horde just trolling towards you. Time to reach for a change of pants!
I did extend mag us566 and mg45, afhter that got the smg from the hords. Also can craft a bomb and atrator combo
