Halloween The Halloween event is behind us now. It was mostly fun. I switched to the MCX using .300 Whisper and the VPO-209 with Geksa. Both suppressed to avoid attracting too much zombie attention. Carried a pistol too for when I'd inevitably run out of ammo. Leaned on it on several occasions. The MCX was awesome. The VPO-209 was perfectly adequate. Died a lot. Survived a lot. Killed a lot. I think my record was 65 zombie kills in a raid (from which I survived). Anyway, it was a fun event. My goal for every raid became reduced to simply kill zombies and extract. As a solo, trying to conduct a moving gun fight was just too difficult with the zombies. So my strategy was to try and plot of path of safe spots on the high ground, like cars and trash bins, that I could clamber on and use as a firing platform. I'd prioritize pistol zombies first, followed by the fast ones. The slow ones could be ignored if ammo concerns loomed (pretty much always). So kill the threats from safe
Before the current Halloween event I was pursuing the Punisher quest line and trying to level up Mechanic and Peacekeeper, which meant I was running a lot of raids on Shoreline. In several of my raids the weather station was the first real hot spot that I encountered. Sometimes in the first minutes after spawning, sometimes a bit later. But in four of the times that has happened, I have encountered a trio of PMCs at the weather station - them having gotten there before me. Once I engaged and got killed. Once I approached very cautiously and killed them. And twice I approached cautiously and watch them leave the area, heading toward power or the resort. And on one of those two occasions where they were leaving, I tried to follow them, hoping to snipe them from behind. But when I got to the edge of the weather station cliffs, looking over where they had just departed seconds before, there was no sign of them. Did they vanish? Were they removed by the game, or did I simply not see them
