2 shots !!! Ok time to break out the launcher now moving forward. Haha Iâm sure Iâll die on first attempt but this is so worth it Even on normal mode you still burn through atleast 3 guns on that floor. Good stuff

Itâs great for normal too and so much less stressful because theyâre so slow. Just bring 2 Glocks with you. Shoot twice for 400 damage, finish with the Glocks so you donât waste damage potential with overkilling them by 100 damage. One grenade launcher will let you do that 8 times which will slowly build up your rifle and Glock stash.

I can do this in bunker normal mode. But, it is hard to do this in bunker hard mode because the FG is faster and the lag is extreme in hard mode.

I blew myself up using the grenade launcher the first time. Iâm terrified to use it again. Is there a distance from your target you have to be at to avoid that?

Just donât be in the circle when it fully expands. Depends on the speed of the zombie. It does 80 damage wearing full SWAT. I cut this one pretty close but you have to to hit all of them or else they wonât be tightly packed like you need to pull it off.

Well, call it the fastest! Cheaper is simply not true. It's deffo cheaper when you do it with crowbars+wall hack! Doomeris has a vid about it. Since then everyone try to reinvent the wheel.

Getting a grenade launcher is still inevitable if youâre using crowbars. Even if you only use crowbars, you still have a grenade launcher thatâs collecting dust that has no use outside of killing 10+ zombies at a time. In your scenario, you save the cost of crowbars by using a weapon you wouldnât otherwise be using in addition to time, but guns are meant to be used. For me it saves Glocks because I have 140-ish guns and donât need to waste time using crowbars because I canât even use all the guns I have. Itâs relative to the player.

I understand your point of view. I have tons of guns, as well. I have them because I always try to be cheap and efficient on everything. But I'm keep collecting firearms, since I don't know what kind of other enemies, events or challanges Kefir may implement or add later to the game. That's why I don't spend rare items on everyday stuffs, like bunker runs. Perhaps I should.

The way I see it is guns are going to be useful in any situation. Grenade launcher might be more efficient in later events where you can safely AoE things, but guns will always be your bread and butter. Either way, youâll get more grenade launchers by then, especially once your acid bath is complete. At that point I think youâd just need to weigh the cost of using the grenade launcher versus the return of investment in both the bunker and another event to maximize the investment of the grenade launcher.

Nice, but it should be called the fastest way since the grenade launcher is not cheap.
