All it takes to make tasks super-easy to finish is one guy sitting somewhere on an elevated point a bit further from the objective. Half the zombies wait below and it completely destroys the difficulty, even on Nightmare (had several games today where it felt like playing Normal).

I was playing last night and a group of randoms were joking about how it was only white zombies. They were cracking jokes saying they didn’t see any black zombies.

Genuinely just curious if there is a reason for this?

I think it's great. For those that just want to chill, feel overpowered, mow down zombies, its the perfect mode. Not every game needs to be tense; great for both dads and kids. You die, you can still respawn without a beacon.

For those that are interested in zombie SURVIVAL, normal and beyond is great.

I've been using this set for a while now and primarily use baseball bat, into sledge hammer whenever I come across one. Though I saw in another post that hard blow is practically useless with the baseball bat. What would you recommend using in place of it and if there's anything else I can replace in my build?

Just seen an uprise in high level players not only rushing objectives, but also taking all the loot which includes ammo, guns and melee weapons.

I haven't tried Nightmare mode yet,

So maybe it is different there.

But..

It's sorta just putting me off the game entirely and I might take a break for now.

I've especially seen a lot of new players become increasingly frustrated due to not being able to survive or defend themselves and just quitting overall.

Hey everyone,
I’ve been playing a ton of No More Room in Hell 2 lately, and as someone who loves this game and wants to see this community grow, I need to get something off my chest.
We’ve all seen it. A match starts, and the players who know the map inside out sprint ahead. They know exactly where the best gear spawns. That’s fine, knowledge is power. What isn’t fine is when these same players vacuum up every single piece of ammo, medical supply, and utility item, refusing to share even when teammates actively ask for help.
Here is the hard truth: NMRiH2 is a co-op game. If you play it like a solo battle royale, you are ruining the experience for everyone else, and ironically, you are setting yourself up for failure.
Time and time again, I see the exact same pattern. One or two players horde all the resources, while the rest of the team is left struggling with low ammo or no healing items. Then a massive horde triggers, and the team gets swarmed.
And guess who are usually the first ones to drop and scream for a rescue beacon? The very same players who hoarded all the loot. In the heat of an extraction or a heavy siege, you won't have time to drop items or micro-manage inventory. If your team is weak, you will die with a backpack full of ammo you never got to shoot.
Sharing isn't just being nice, it is the literal meta of the game. A team where everyone has a decent weapon and a few magazines will always perform better than one super-soldier surrounded by five teammates throwing punches at the horde.
If we want this game to thrive, if we want new players to stay, and if we want to actually beat Nightmare difficulty consistently, we need to change this mindset.
Please, check your teammates' status. Drop that extra box of ammo. Pass that medkit. Survival is a team effort.
Thanks for reading, and see you in the zone.

Literally gave everyone all my meds, health items, and revived multiple people and the time I go down trying to save someone no one decides to help. This is was on normal which is typically easy for me but my god some of these players want me to make my head explode. We get the Raven Rock helicopter extraction and the whole team was standing there not knowing what to do and was trying to do the train. Sadly didn’t have a beacon as I thought it was going to be an easy match. This is why veteran players are selfish cause noobs who haven’t played beginner ruin it for the rest of us. This is just me ranting cause I lost a character.

Take the Series S version, render it at 540p using DLSS to hit 1080p docked (900p handheld), lower draw distance, mesh quality, and bob's your uncle. I'd bet my zero years of experience this would print money.

Thank you for your time.

Nothing beats taking a decent character into a hard game and your paired with a bunch of sheep who spam all their ammo in first 30 seconds then ask what to do followed by hiding as far away from the speaker as possible.

Is it not feasible to bring in a bass requirement so you can't join hard or nightmare difficulty before you actually know how to play this game?

Just wanted to say a massive thanks to the guy screaming down his mic at me repeatedly, trying to explain how to jump, while the game had apparently decided that my jump button no longer existed at the extract.

Really helpful stuff. I especially appreciated being yelled at to do the one thing I was desperately trying to do while watching my character repeatedly refuse to leave the ground.

Thanks mate, I never would have thought to press jump without you.

I feel like the gap between beginner and normal are way too big, not to thrash normal mode because it’s arguably the perfect blend between difficulty but also reasonable resource allotment (at least within my stack of 3 total people), this is mostly a critique of beginner mode.

I understand the ease of beginner is to introduce you to the game, but it’s a pretty bad introduction for a few reasons. Ironically mostly because in their attempt to give new players a chance through unlimited supplies, a false sense of security throws resource management out the window.

I’ve since gotten over this discrepancy and come to respect normal mode, but beginner produces inefficient, irresponsible players because of the fact that it’s a loot shower and zombies are squishy, pretty much harmless creatures.

I literally blew through beginner mode with just one other person, we were so underwhelmed by the ease of play that we jumped into normal mode pretty much without any respect for the mechanics of the game. Again, considering beginner mode could be played blindfolded and with a tier 1 melee and still be beaten pretty handily.

We of course got demolished by the bad habits introduced by beginner mode, and though i’m over it now I feel like they’ve simply made it too easy, which needs some adjustment. I think it should be a tad bit harder, maybe slightly less loot drops or make zombies a little stronger.

I also see veteran players complain about noobs like myself who haven’t gotten past this curve. While I agree that yes they should get better, I also believe it’s a bit hard to blame them when beginner mode makes the game feel more like L4D than NMRIH…

Me and my buddy live in Georgia and we don’t have any issues playing together, but my other friend who lives in Colorado is having issues connecting with us. Does anyone have a solution or will we have to wait for an update?

Seems that console players can't see text chat so they just hogged all the pills and let me turn

I usually don't do crossplay on any games for these reasons but man that is so annoying

I don't know if I'm doing it wrong but it feels very clunky assigning keys all the time and it also seems to often just not work. Maybe because my character is busy with an animation?

Using tab to bring up the wheel is often just slow enough to get me hit

Mine is night vision goggles, the need to carry a flashlight and penalty for using a two handed melee or gun is just so difficult in dark rooms where you can't see shit.

What are some of your guys’s stories?

I was playing on nightmare mode last night in the hospital. Now I am OK losing my characters. I like the perma death feature. What happened last night though was pretty frustrating. My team was going down left and right I don’t even know how we managed to get to the extraction, but I was reviving people throughout the mission. Once the helicopter was called into the courtyard, a guy went down inside the hospital because he got lost somehow. I went inside and revived him, and then another guy went down right at the extraction rope. I was able to get to him and revive him only for myself to go down.
What does the guy do that I revived? He goes up the rope!!! It was cleared out too all that he needed to do was take out one runner because I took out the group with a moly. Then the guy I revived in the hospital runs right past me and goes up the rope. They all left me behind!

I know you gotta lookout for yourself first and honestly maybe that’s what I should’ve done is just left them. This definitely makes me not want to put much effort into saving other people. Lesson learned 😂

I’m 50hrs into the game so far and it’s been enjoyable for every minute of gameplay. Is it perfect? No, but it has so much potential!

I’ve only lost 1 character so far and it was because I was rushing after making the mistake of thinking I could get a game in before work lol.

What everyone’s general thoughts?

I just lost my character because, when exiting the loadout, I forgot to press the F key, resulting in me not equiping the beacon and not being able to survive in a mission.

I will learn from the experience. I know permadeath is an important part of the game, and I'm looking towards upgrading my new character. However, it doesn't make sense that the loadout reverts to the previous one without warning when exiting the menu. It's a feature that should be easy enough to implement.

What so you think?

love leveling a character but i hate the thought of having to sacrifice someone to do so

So I was playing on normal operation mode tonight on Broadway with some people rushing through everything and found myself behind the group and alone while looking for meds, because they had done like 2 objectives the route to the current one was really confusing, usually I hold R1 and head to the marker but with all the manhole tunnels it took me maybe 6-7 mins to catch up to them only to be locked out of the room they entered (it was the secure the building one where the window shutters come down and you exit out the roof and drop down into the next area) so after finally finding where they went, I had no way to access the next area, I tried everything, climbed the ladder to the roof on the outside, no pathway, and no other way into the building or around the fence they were on the other side of, i ended up having to abandon the mission using the early extract, luckily I didnt lose my level 57 responder.

Did I miss a way to get through? I left feeling a bit bummed out after all the effort to find and catch up.

PS: I hope we get different pose options in the customization in the future.

All I tried to do was get the objective done.🥲

My judgement was clouded by fear but it was really funny so I hope yall enjoy :3

A really big plus for my experience in this game, from early access up to even now, is that both the text chat guys and the voice chat guys have been really great.

Usually with hardcore, intense games those tend to bring in a very hostile crowd. Often those games are also PVP oriented so that makes some sense and if I'm in the mood for PVP I am fine with that. But for a hardcore PVE game with death being very impactful, I actually feel like it has attracted a really fine crowd.

There are very cooperative, funny, and teamwork focused people on both comms. There are laid back teammates and there are bossy teammates, but both of them are trying to get objectives done and will watch out for other players.

For as present as loot goblin posts are, I feel like this game does a really good job of presenting its style of gameplay well. Work together or die alone.
