You can hit those pincher guys in a sweet spot to kill them quickly and they'll explode.
Yeah, where the orange is, but it's still not a comfortable shot.
Javo's are easy peasy lemon squeezy. and I play all maps pretty equally.
I disagree. I think J'avo are harder to deal with than zombies, especially with all the mutations that only make things more complicated.
zombies armored dudes are harder to deal with when your counter is flashing. It's scary how close you can lose your combo when only a few armored zombies are near you.
I just either headshot them with a powerful weapon like a shotgun or sniper, or go for a throw. If I'm using Sherry or Helena, I'll headshot, then throw. It's not too hard, especially since a lot of melee throws are quick. All characters have quick ones except Chris.
The Javo' equivalent is the guy with the shields IMO, which I'll give you are probably slightly more annoying than armored zombies. I can easily counter armored zombies atleast, and the only weakness the javo shield guy shave really is that they attack slow, and predictably, and their backside is open. which they won't show willingly.
You picked the easiest mutation :laugh:
All you have to do is melee them once, then Coup De Grace. You don't need to spend a single bullet on them.
Normal Javo's at the hardest part of the game, still taunt alot. Their stab attacks only lightly stun you.
But they attack more consistently and quickly than zombies, and sometimes are completely unaffected by quickshot.
where as a zombie grab can knocks seconds of our time for 1 mistake.
which means a much larger chance to drop a combo.
I guess this applies in solo yeah, because unless your partner sucks, they should be able to save it.
waiting to counter a zombie dog, possibly opens you up to an attack from another angle. and a dog grab shaves seconds off your combo clock.
I keep myself extremely aware of my surroundings. I move the camera around constantly, to know what I'm dealing with. It's never happened to me, because when I know I'm surrounded, jumping enemy counters are my last priority.
everything about zombies is time consuming. getting puked on.
I counter the spitting zombies now, lol I had no idea you even could.
having to constantly move inbetween shots to make sure one isn't about to get you in a blind spot. I don't feel you have to worry about this as much with Javo.
Special enemy J'avo can really catch you off guard, like a group of the crazy ones with insects protruding from their head (which I can counter only like 80% of the time. Still don't have the timing down yet). They can easily surround you, and if you're downed, you're not getting back up. J'avo finish you off MUCH quicker than zombies. You have to admit that. You can blast away at zombies when down but J'avo get up close in seconds. Death comes unless your partner happens to be close.
Blood shots take forever sometimes or hit eachother mid-air and you waste huge seconds on that random occasion.
I know what you're talking about, but that's rare. I can counter a bloodshot based on sound, not vision, because I have no life. It's always best to run at a bloodshot that's targeting you from afar, because he doesn't prep the jump, he just jumps immediately.
The only scary things I can think of are the RPG guys on Steel beast really.. and I don't think they've ever hit me with a shot. but I know how devastating a RPG shot can be cuz they hit me once in a while on Requiem for War.
The RPGs on Requiem for War are ridiculous. 3 on the roofs, and then they spawn more on the ground. Rail Yard has worse ones though.
For the Record I think Mining Depths is the easiest zombie stage, Catacombs being the 2nd easiest zombie map.
I agree. Catacombs has the weakest enemies, but at least it has bosses. Mining the Depths only has a Strelat, which is more of an annoyance than a problem.
I just think Steel beast is literally the easiest stage.
I still don't see it. I think Mining the Depths is. Steel Beast isn't the most challenging stage though. I think that title goes to Rail Yard, and maybe Creature Workshop. The map in Creature Workshop is awkward, so I haven't even attempted to play there yet.
