Escort Help

[Stargazer2600]

I really hate escorting survivors in this game. I don't know what i'm doing wrong but the survivors are either to slow and get eaten or they are just to stupid and instead of taking the clear path, they walk right into a heard of zombies. This only gets worse as the game goes on cause I swear the plazas are filling with more zombies and the raincoat cult just kills any survivors out right. I got the mega buster but try not to use it cause (go figure) the survivors will walk right in front of the shot and die. The fact that I am gonna have to escort 8 people at once to do get the trophy and then AGAIN with just chicks, makes me reeeeally hate this whole thing.

anyone got any tips or know what i'm doing wrong?

My tip is to finish zombie genocider for the mega buster, it's really the only thing that makes escorting them easier, and to carry extra food for them, usually the orange juice.

Command the survivors to stay somewhere safe (toilet , etc, place where there's no zombie around), than clear your way out of zombies (and the cultists ofc). Rise and repeat this process till you've reached the safehouse. Save every time you command the survivors to stay in the toilet. 

 

Mega-buster is recommended against the cultists, aim for the head and from afar. 

 

Also, equip all of the survivors with firearms and melee (iirc, there's 3 shotguns, 2 sniper rifles, and unlimited handguns in the Huntin' Shack) 

 

Bring at least 3 or 4 OJ with you. 

 

You should only bring two weapons for your own use, the first one would be Mega-buster and the other, laser sword or if you haven't unlocked it yet, your preferred melee.

 

If you have to engage with an enemy while in the middle of escorting the survivors, command them to stay behind your line of sight (to avoid shooting them in face with the mega-buster).
