I'd love to team up with you guys and do some MvM, if there is place in your team for a pyro.

[Zangi]

Meh, of all the hoopla and stuff...  I just realized that despite downloading this game, I've still yet to play the MvM.  Interest of the whole TF2 thing having croaked relatively quickly thanks to how hard it was to get into an MvM game in the first place...

[miauw62]

Dont use autojoin, use the server browser and you'll find plenty of empty servers usually.

[Matz05]

And the joining got a lot easier anyway.

[Duke 2.0]

 Normal is ez mode, so I'd better hope a coordinated team would waltz through it. Challenge is for the challenge maps, dicking around with whatever builds fit your fancy is for normal runs. Or trying your best with whatever random pubbers you can find.

me too. anyone up for a match?

[miauw62]

If you have a mann up ticket, i'm going to play with a friend just now.
Steam name is miauw, avatar same as here.


Not going to spoil anything, but the last part of the last wave of the endurance mission is nigh impossible. A group of actually very good pubs, a friend and me tried it 10 times and failed equally many times.

SPOILERS ALERT!

Spoiler: last part of last wave (click to show/hide)

5 hoovies with 3 uber medics each. can you believe it? neither can i.

[The Scout]

A good spy/sniper would help. Something to get back there and sap/kill the medics makes the heavy rather easy.

[Enzo]

The trick with uber medics is: DO NOT HIT THEM UNLESS IT WILL 1-HIT-KILL THEM. They pop in reaction to taking damage (rather than autopopping when they're fully charged) so spraying them with boolits or lighting them on fire just means they'll turn invincible and whoever they're escorting will dispose of you. Really effective is dropping a stickytrap, letting the giant bot pass, and then detting when the medics are all overtop of it.

It takes a coordinated team to make sure nobody damages the medics first though. I can only imagine the frustration of having a team where one guy just won't listen...

[miauw62]

fully upgraded airblast is fairly effective against the medics, but that only works on the rapidfire sollies, giant hoovies deal too much damage for that.

I tend to try that with Demo, but one Medic always survives the stickies.
Lochnload grenades, on the other hands... these things are like explosive, volatile, missable win. Hit one, boom, five bots dead. Has some problems with a wave almost entirely consisting of beefcakes though *shudder*

[miauw62]

I just did endurance with a friend (and for the rest all pubbies!), the team was this: engie, medic, 2x heavvy, demo and spy.
We had to retry only 3 times.

[The Scout]

We tried advanced mode. 2 big pyros, ~40 regular pyros and ~50 boxing glove heavies. About 25 tries, and none were wins.

[cerapa]

I have discovered the glory that is The Righteous Bison. Takes no ammo, pierces, and deals multiple damages to everyone. To a tank it deals damage about 4 or 5 times, and then goes on to hit everything behind the tank.

[Oliolli]

What if you fire the Bison from behind the tank? As it is passing through, the tank also moves, giving more time to hit it.
