Tips/Tricks/Glitches/Exploits

You hopped on campaign, got your butt butchered, realized you had coins, but used them up just to be butchered again. Did you beat the first mission? If not, this will probably help you out. All 9 missions played with every class is here.

The best way to use this guide is to simply jump to your favorite character and mission of your choice

There are 9 Missions (Season 1). WIth the exception of Mission 7: Fallen Angel, All missions will reward 800 gold while 7 rewards 400. With each additional player, 800 gold is added to the pot for a cap of 3200. Depending on the score, the gold will be distributed on a ratio with potential for one to earn 50% of everyone else's gold. For example. If you have 2 players, the max pot is 1600, but the max one can earn will be 800 + 400 = 1200. With 4 Players it would be 2000.
You must score at least 5 points to earn any gold. So if you happen to die before getting an assist or kill and cannot revive, it is better to leave the game as you will receive 0 gold. Your share of the pot will not be added with 0 score either unless you are alive as shown above (very rare).

No gold will be distributed unless 3 minutes have elapsed. So even if you are close to the end and die, the timer must be 17:00 or less for you to get gold. If you happen to hack your way to the end and win under 3 minutes, the same will apply.

Revival Coins
You receive 3 free coins per day, capping at 10. You can go past 10 by buying more (don't do this) or getting the login bonuses. Logging in for a full month nets you 36 coins. Some players have hundreds of coins so the cap is likely 999
Lost Gold
Sometimes you may win a round a get less than 800 gold. This can happen if
  • You skipped a rally point
  • You skipped killing a heavy soldier
  • Some drones die from collliding with barrels

This is most prevalent in Mission 2. At the part where you climb a broken ceiling, the Destroyer there can be skipped and you will only receive 760 gold.
In the 2nd part of this mission where you need to press a button, if there is more than 1 player and one does not rally, you can press the button before rallying to skip it. You can beat the mission without touching the rally and will earn only 640 gold, making that rally worth 160 gold. Here is getting the rally for full points:
Here is skipping the rally for 320 lost:

Extra Gold Glitch
This one seems to come and go. Each server update may patch or unpatch it.
When the game is over and says "mission accomplished" or "nau/gsf win" etc
Keep changing the host and the gold will double, triple, etc
Building Meter
AS OF Version 1.1.1, The following will build your precious Z meter
  • Headshots
  • Assists
  • Kills
  • Combos (Added when combo ends)
  • Taking Damage

WALLHANG

Go up to a wall and hit right click with your melee weapon. All classes except for Max can do this. You can dash, or hit right click to drop. With the exception of Wayne, you can also drop by hitting your left click attack. Useful for the Alexsei fight.
Some Glitches/Exploits/Tips/Tricks:
Brute Force Method, Slow but Easy, Bring them to you:

Do not Panic, you can typically escape most situations by blocking and backing up, remember that most enemies move at a fixed speed:

Blocking NPC Rally points:

Block Cancelling:

This can be done with all classes.
When switching from a gun to melee, block first to cancel the switch time so you can attack instantly.

Equipment/Weapon Suggestions

With a few exceptions, you can't really go wrong with weapon choices for campaign because it's your skills that will beat the missions. Memorizing spawn points, enemy counts, patterns, ammo locations, setting up Traps, Q's, etc are what matter. All Default weapons will do fine if you know what you're doing so it can only get better when you find your preferred weapon upgrades

  • In General, the guns with the most ammo will serve you well in Campaign (except for Max's apocalypse flamethrower, see below). So make your decision between firepower/damage
  • Piercing gears have no effect on Enemies so they won't serve any purpose in campaign
  • Weapons with higher defense range will serve you for situations with many enemies and Alexsei's minigun.
  • Crit weapons will be good for beating Alexsei's second form faster.

Weapons to Avoid:
  • Backdraft for Rose: Way too little splash, you will run out of ammo too quickly
  • Apocalypse Flamethrower series for Max: way too little damage, you will lose way too much health in the process.

Please visit other guides for advanced melee/cancelling/movement techniques. Tons of stuff not covered here as being extra fancy doesn't help too much in campaign :P


Enemy Types

Regular
Assault Soldier
Runs at you and swings a super modern technologically superior butcher knife at you. Will stand still if you are too high up. Can sometimes reach you by jumping.
Rifle Soldier
The luckier ones. apparently Adam Corps couldn't afford guns for everyone so Assault Soldiers got the short end of the stick. These guys will fire and kite, or fire/approach you and then Rifle Butt you if up close. They typically miss all shots or get you in the head. Can take almost all of your hp down up close so keep them away.
Shotgun Soldier
If you are not in his line of sight he will come after you. As long as he sees you he will pump and shoot. Up close can do 100+ damage, from afar negligible. Most will stand still when firing, others will kite just like the Rifle Soldier. You will have to play alot to find which ones stand and which chase/run.
Kevlar Soldier
Upgraded Assault Soldiers. They have about double the hp of Assault soldiers and carry some kind of baton like Elena's. They must've taken the metal from the butcher knives and turned them into armor, cuz they still don't have guns...
Self-Destruct Drone
Will explode when killed, in close proximity, or colliding with barrels. These guys used to damage enemies around them which made campaign much easier. Max can block them, but only one at a time as they will break his guard and stun him for a bit.
Some have fixed spawn locations on maps while others emerge from a Drone Generator. Killing these next to the generators will splash damage them. They make a beeping noise so stay alert if they sneak up on you.
Barrels
These will splash everyone around it. Yourself, enemies,and allies. Keep them out of the way or destroy them before allies get close. Can be blocked by max, can be pushed down then rolled around for setups. Also set off by Rose's E.
Heavy:
From Left to Right: Arson Maniac, Destroyer, Suppressor
These guys are basically Max divided into his 3 weapons with a ton of health. It will take many hits to kill them. Go for the head!
Arson Maniac
Uses a flamethrower, if he is standing still, he will jump at you when you are near enough. During his jump you can launch/stun him.
Destroyer
Carries a minigun, fires every ~5 seconds. Only fires when you are in his line of sight. Usually hiding behind chest-height objects leaves you free to shoot him while he approaches. Block for meter, ground him, or use cover in between shots.
Suppressor
Holds shield up, smacks you backward if close enough. Let's his guard open every now and then. You can grenade/rocket to splash his back. Use R to knock him down when he is guarding. He's not hard, just really annoying. Best to distract while a partner kills from behind.

Mission 5 Locked Door Glitch: A of patch 1.1.1, This will happen to non-hosts 50% of the time. You will have to climb up and burn to death until the host reaches the new rally point then revive.

Alexsei (Mission 4 Boss)

Boss Patterns
Alexsei 1st Form
  1. Sliding Kick [Blockable]: He will put his gun to the side and lift his foot in preparation
  2. Running Shoulder Ram [Unblockable]: He will begin to hunch over before running
  3. Corner Shoulder Ram [Blockable]: When very close to him and the wall he will use this, seems to miss on Max.
  4. Minigun: He will Laugh before doing this [Fully blockable with Max. usually 70-90% with others]
  5. Will Laugh if he kills anyone

Alexsei 2nd Form

  1. Overhead Slam [Unblockable]
  2. Side Swipe [Blockable with Max as a guardbreak (no meter), other classes may be able to block depending on weapon, have not confirmed]
  3. Running Stab [Unblockable]: He will begin stepping with one leg to windup for a run against the wall, Dodge this with a quick wallhang or side step then attack him while he pulls it out
  4. Spinning Attack [Unblockable]: He will spin for 7 revolutions then you can attack.
    The standard pattern is 1 to 4 but he is known to change it every now and then and usually will if host changes. After he spawns in the smoke he will always start with the Spin.
    At x10 Health he will no longer do 1-3 and his head will begin to hurt [Free hits]. From this point he will just spin and have a headache. Fight is over when you see x4 and get the bar about halfway.

Corner Shoulder Ram seems to be glitched lately:

Gustav (Mission 9 Boss)

Gustav is broken up into 6 parts:

  1. Left Leg
  2. Right Leg
  3. Left Tire
  4. Right Tire
  5. Belly (Exposed when 1-4 are destroyed)
  6. Power control (Above, Exposed when 5 is Destroyed)
  7. Turret (Optional, does not have any weight on his health).

The Tires are also equipped with a turret so these are the ones you should take out first. It is best to get Under Gustav for an easy takeout.

Typically he will stand around walking and turning for about 30 seconds and then leap away.
1st Leap: 2 Target Rings will Appear on a random player giving you about 4-5 seconds to get out of it. Does a ton of damage and usually kills if you are not full hp. Afterwards the helicopter will drop off 8 Soldiers 4 at a time. In total there will be 2 Assault Soldiers and 6 Rifle Soldiers
2nd Leap: Gustav fires a missile at each player 4 times. Simply go to the Gate and it will be completely avoided, or you can dodge them for fun. Helicopter appears for the same drop afterwards.
Soldiers will drop Small Health, Big Armor, Big Ammo, or nothing at all. This is your chance to replenish in between each leap as you will need alot of ammo to take him out.

Gustav is invulnerable when he jumps away, but when he begins his jump down you can shoot him for a little extra damage before he lands. It is safer to take out the turret when mounting him, otherwise just stay out of its line of sight while killing the power control device. Very Straight forward, pick any video and the technique is about the same.

Elena Tips

Learn the angles/bounces of grenades, aim for the chest for best effect. Zoom in with Rifle for easy headshots. While shooting grenades, make sure the clip is 2 or 3 so you can reload cancel for infinite grenades. Simply spam left click and reload together

Elena Walkthrough

Ivan Tips

Get headshots, when you need to reload, you can use E to kick them away and cancel the reload animation. Use melee sparingly, will usually get you killed.

Reload Cancelling with E: You can use his cyclone kick to hit enemies away and speed up reloading, works with both the smg and sniper rifle. I like to add a taunt before kicking :P

SweatSex Max
Burst in 3's for headshots, back up while flaming, Shield can block drones/barrels (1 at a time). Line them up and Q. Hold right click to spin Minigun for quicker firing. Heavies can be knocked down with Sprinting attacks, E, Q, and R. Max is the campaign Champ

Rena Walkthrough/Tips

NoNeck Rena
Zoom with Pistols for faster hitting. Use SMG to build meter for reloading quickly (level 20). Use melee even less than you would Ivan. Q will knock down only on the last hit, can be directed during cast

Rose Tips

Get yourself a Mass Breaker, it's pretty much better than the default in every way and if you are going to put yourself through the horror of campaigning with Rose, might as well use the best you can get. Yes it can be done with default, but it's really not worth the time :P. Camper killer is also a good choice if you need more firepower with the shotgun.
Rose can reload cancel like Elena with a bit stricter timing. Wait for her hand to reach upwards towards the rocket launcher before firing. If not confident with aiming, shoot the feet. Use shotgun to build meter especially vs Heavys.

Bernie cannot spawn on an incline, you must Q on a flat surface and then he can run up it

Do not try blocking Alexsei's minigun for meter, you will take aloooot of damage, jump around while blocking instead

Easy Meter: Note that Rose's Default shotgun shoots 8 shells, Knowing that headshots build meter, use this to your advantage and build meter very fast via 8 headshots in 1.

Wayne Tips

Find the whip range that hits 2x and stuns, Use E when being mobbed. Headshots for meter, and reload before you Q to have a full clip after firing.

You can rotate the Camera while you E
E and R work on grounded enemies
You can cancel switch into a weapon after R and Pulls/Dunks

Position Q widely for a chance to kill more than just five. Such as this:
