*New* Overrun Compound Critique..

BttlOpener

What do you think about the changes to this challenge map set? What did NG do right or how did they fail?

Firekid

I can honestly say that I don’t think they have failed at all in this map set. The minor critique I have which isn’t a complaint as it makes my life easier is the red crate in delivery men is a bit pointless but other than that I think it all works really well. @ level 35 so far.

I really dislike the tank that spawns during the delivery man map, it seems to be when you get the second unlock key which is completely random. I hate anything like that where it's RNG. Unless there's a trend to it I've not figured out? Then I take it back. Other than that there are some nice maps here.

The revamp has made it easier I didn't even notice there's also an exit on the left in Datacenter now and the flashing orange box in Delivery Man is too obvious I think there will be some massive score this week lol

Well now don't I feel stupid, that solves my only gripe with the map as I thought it was a random crate

@WellyLuga you're not on your own, it took me 7 rounds till I noticed the obvious crate 😂

JayZ

@WellyLuga I just figured that out this morning as well. I feel like an idiot, haha.

JayZ

My main criticism of this map set seems to be that there aren't spawn blocks. This set is easy enough that it won't be as big of a problem, but it's annoying that one big strategic element of the game isn't possible.

WellyLuga

I agree, spawn blocking is one of the beautiful strategies in this game so it's a little annoying when they change it so that walkers will spawn in an adjacent space rather than be blocked. Like the way they changed the shut it map.

Firekid

@WellyLuga I can’t believe this isn’t more we’ll know but there a flashing red “items” on loads of maps in different maps sets which set of a spawn. Such as the middle locker in shelves and two of the cars in parking lot. Keep an eye out for them as them!
Edit to add - it’s definitely not just you and was signalling you out for being dense or anything! My partner charlie also only found out last week when I told her she thought I’d been hiding that information from her for 2 years!

Jaden

There's always a player in one of our guilds finding out random "obvious" stuff - like the fact that you can open the gate in Getting Burnt after opening all the crates. It happens...

I still had to grin about the fact that players who are much better than I am didn't notice the glowing "dangerous" crate (unless you are colorblind or red-green blind... then it is probably rather difficult to notice those crates)

There are also crates you need to open two of to trigger spawn (I think Ka-Boom has those, can't remember the map name).

Needs winslows and metalhead walkers.

The grind is fixed!

The dark spots / blind spots in Rat Race and Death Trap provide extra challenge.
I hope they keep up the trend of updating maps throughout the whole challenge library.

I like this mapset

euchid

it is new it is different i like it.

Firekid

I’m starting to dislike delivery! Particularly if I can’t get the threat down on the .2 rounds....

andy75

Data center sucks at 42-2. Other than that it’s manageable for me. Maybe remove the tanks.

You mean some were walking back the way they came in?!? Lol!

Jaden

@DonCoqui

Yes. For years.

@Jaden

I wont laugh too hard... it took me more than one challenge to figure out you could close the doors to the containers hahaha!

Stalker20

Does anyone have any idea how to pass data centre at level 40+? Spent a kings ransom in healing but can't get past it 😕

Firekid

I use SR, Morgan and Rgg and camp out in the top left corner and try and thin the crowd a bit and get charged up. Then move right and into the middle kill the fatty there then hopefully you’ll just have the fatty on the line at the right still unaware. If you are lucky he will be at the bottom and you can open the locker without alerting him if not I put my bruiser with the most health to open it and hope the stun resistance kicks in and run for the line. Some how managed to 2 star it at 40.1 (after many defeats) not looking forward to going again at 40.2!

Log out

Homeless Darryl Spear
Stabby Rick TR Knife
Best Bruiser

took me 4x to pass it

Stalker20

Just squeaked thru with that team @Killdozer187_ RG Glenn had maybe 5% health left, had to let Rick go into a struggle to save him, the tr knife is vital. Got to try again at 41 now, 36* off of 2k.

Loving the grind fix!

Check Global leaderboards.

There are players flying through RSL 43+ week after week.

The grind fix bullshit by NG is endless.

Can't wait for next chapter.

Firekid

@Troublemaker I must have missed the announcement where NG declared they had fixed the grind for everyone... in fact there newest attempt to fix the grind broke with dynamic round passes which they hopefully will get right next update. I also think your definition of “the grind” may be slightly different to my own.

All working as intended? Good.

Jaden

@DonCoqui

Oh, yeah... That one.

For some time I mentioned those doors every time the map came up - there was always someone who hadn't noticed yet or who had forgotten that you could close those doors.

Something more on topic: awesome new challenge. I wish I would have had more time to play it to when it would have actually become difficult.

Next time around I will.
