Then I bought it.

For that, I’d suggest loading up at the crater outside as it’s nice and clear.

Order an empty dropship, order it to come down over the crater.

As soon as the dropship arrives, take control of it. Fly down over the chip carrier so you’re hovering above them, then open the door and suck them in using the little lines as guides.

Close door, fly off map. Assuming you did it right, you should earn a ton of cash and the mission will be completed; no need to extract your brainbot for some reason.

I actually had to restart the mission a couple of times because the rocket occasionally has a dud landing and ends up crippling my brainbot.

And whatever you do, don’t do this with the brainbot. The pistol won’t stop the zombies, and they actually have a pretty good arm; those grenades will easily crack open that glass goldfish bowl that keeps your brain safe.

Use some Coalition Heavies (the minigun is really effective but ridiculously heavy, you may be better off with a lighter AR or shotgun vs the soft zombies) via drop crates and use them to clear out the caves. You may need to manually scuttle the drop crates as they tend to dig into the ground and fail to deploy properly.

Am running out of eyes to keep on upcoming games but I think I can spare another one for this…

I did the Zombie Cave Mission, it was great. First time around I got game over in a way similar to PleasingFungus’ story, had my brain-bot on a stone column a bit back so he wouldn’t get hurt. Well I loaded my rocket with the chip and was on my way to return and finish the mission, however I got stuck with the right landing gear and of course the rocket flew through the whole map and exploded on my brain-bot. I laughed for a very long time.

If you put down money on this, it’s probably not because you want the game as-is. It’s because you want to support an indie developer who is trying to do absurdly complex things all by his lonesome.

Personally, he got my money a while back. This is a lot of fun splitscreen right now, and there’s hints that this’ll grow into a solid singleplayer game as well over the next six months or so.

Not the sort of thing that would persuade me to fork out any cash, but very, very funny.

It’s possible the user-made activities file is making things more challenging (more + more diverse units attacking), or maybe the AI is just a bit smarter about finding your weaknesses and continually taking advantage, water-torture style.
