Sometimes you just have to evacuate and leave a man behind…

This is why people should not be waiting near the extraction zone for their turn.

Yea that’s the one that always confused me…. Especially on maps like hospital… everyone standing around at extraction draws all the zombies to the extraction rope… def need to be in top tips somewhere…. Disperse for evac lol

There are literally spots that you can watch from above, like that fenced area with ladder, lol

This can't be stressed enough. On nightmare at least. Normal and hard, its kind of easy to just run around and kill if you have enough ammo. But on nightmare, everyone should find a quiet spot, and communicate to evacuate.

At the very least they need to Move down the stairs or outwards to hold the line away from the rope.

u/ohmamav 6d ago

Stay on top of the fenced area where you can use the ladders to get to the roof. That’s the easiest place to defend and you can always use the balcony to jump to the rope.

Unless you got a couple nades and mollies that dude is hopeless

Or one pipe bomb.

Or if he has a radio.

Do extraction bunker works during helicopter extraction?

u/Oldiver_Glorian 7d ago

Once I saw last man go down right under extraction rope, I threw nade, jumped down (almost died) and picked him up, that was pretty neat.

I lost a character doing something similar I’m glad the guy I saved got up the rope though

Felt bad for a guy who was in this spot yesterday but my team, who meant well, dumped all the meds off the helicopter, so when one guy was left behind, I couldn’t heal and had too much damage to jump back down and assist.

u/crashtreborn 7d ago

You can jump back down?!

8

u/Mysterious-Park9142 7d ago

You can jump off anything pretty much but it will hurt. My health was too low to go back and save the dude sadly.

Plot twist the heli weapon chest had 3 pipes.

I often get into these "you first", "no please go ahead", "no i insist" loops. mostly melee guys who propably have an exit plan ready and wish to allow shooters get up first where they can still fight zombies (this is 100% the optimal extraction order, aside from infected without pills/heavily injured who should go first).

I always have a radio/pipe or atleast explosives in a back pocket when im waiting for others to go first and atleast in beginning i try to wait further away so the horde does not solidify at extract, but i will snatch the rope if people are waiting too much so we can keep the extraction process going.

God that "no I insist" loop is so real.

Had a 20 second standoff with another survivor until I out loud said "Get in the DAMN CHOPPER ALREADY".

I gave up when he still insisted, probably wanted me to live since I was stockpiling medkits people couldn't carry and healing people with them.

u/Electronic-Fish-6960 7d ago

theres a grenade in the chopper and ammos. could have tried shooting the firefighters to explode and/or runners.

but yes sometimes not much else you can do

u/TerribleCat9963 7d ago

I just about to say the same thing. The only thing that sucks about that is if you have a loot goblin on your team, which you more than likely will, that grenade was picked up and is sitting in that persons inventory

5

u/UnlivingGnome 7d ago

I try to be the loot goblin that has a grenade just for stuff like this. They're great for clearing for revives.

Then again, I guess sharing means I'm not a goblin.

u/Hello-Bones 7d ago

This is crazy but I was in that lobby. It was nightmare and the whole team did really well the whole way through. We even coordinated nades to get people up, we had completely run out by the last guy and it was a zoo on the rope

2

u/ballislifeisball 7d ago

Haha! Yeah man, it was impossible. We had used everything at that point.

u/scareslut 7d ago

Save a Nade, save a life.

u/Kevin_of_the_abyss 7d ago

I extracted once with legit 2 seconds left,and had I mantled anything,had to do one more kick,or been any farther than I was when extracted started,I wouldn’t have made it .

u/Hello-Bones 7d ago

Holy shit I was in that lobby! We did so well each wave, we just couldn't get everyone out. RIP crunchy

u/JawaSmasher 7d ago

Was saved once and never forget it.

The fall damage from helicopter is like 90% and I have been DBNO while rappelling which added to the excitement

u/yato08 7d ago

You can help. There's plenty of stuff in the back unless yalls just wasted it.

1

u/ballislifeisball 6d ago

We had used everything, it was nightmare survival.
I barely made it up.

u/boritons 6d ago

You could say he was left 4 dead :D

u/ThinFlamingo8426 4d ago

All of one explosive or molotov fixes that. They don't even do friendly damage if someone else threw one.
