I find it a little unfair how we have to find 10 PLANKS but there’s no countdown timer like Broadway.
But, Pottsville is HUGE.
People could simply dunk 5 planks and wait for 5 mins for evac. The devs likely WANT us fighting through houses to keep us proactive.
But my overall impression?
POTTSVILLE 2.0 IS DECEPTIVELY MORE DEADLY THAN RAVEN ROCK ON NIGHTMARE⚠️
It’s a war of attrition. Loot is SCARCE. Unless you sprint ahead, everything’s already looted because EVERYONE HAS NOTHING.
Here’s The 4 Phases in a Nutshell
PHASE 1: THE STAIRS OF SHAMBLER CLOUDS
The stairs leading to the first objectives are ALWAYS jam-packed with zombied
.
You NEED your entire team, but everyone IS still looting because we’re all broke.
I saw one bold guy attempt to charge those stairs himself, bro thought he was Goku.
We took his dead loot.
Even when you finally have the Averangers behind you it’s GUARANTEED 2–3 infected are already infected, and the shambler clouds on the stairs don’t help.
PHASE 2: THE TOWN MASSACRE
Never have we gone to the town without losing one or two responders.
Some split off to find loot, only to turn because NOBODY HAS PILLS. (Or shares them)
PHASE 3: THE COMMUNITY CENTER
SURPRISE! 🎉
ALSO JAMMED WITH ZOMBIES, TEN RUNNERS, AND NO ONE PICKS UP THE C4.
People who aren’t infected usually get infected here.
PHASE 4: THE NEIGHBORHOODS
FINALLY! The outskirts!
Imagine 3 limping responders, all infected, running out of the Center Alive.
Foster now wants us to light a bonfire… just like in Broadway… okay coool… WHY ARE HOUSES WITH THE PLANSK ARE ALSO JAM-PACKED WITH ZOMBIES🧟♂️🧟♂️🧟♂️
Where are the final 9th and 10th planks? NOBODY KNOWS, they don’t exist.
and Jimmy over there got DISCONNECTED!
FINAL PHASE: BRAVO, OUR SAVIOR!
FINALLY, BRAVO ARRIVES! 🙏
He hovers above us…
And takes like 100 YEARS to lower his damn extraction rope.
AND OF ALL THE PLACES TO EXTRACT US… HE CHOOSES THE ONE AREA SWARMING WITH ZOMBIES
