    Feature additions and changes

    Melee [discuss]
    •Machete now interrupts melee like a gunshot would. This, combined with the change to a 3-hit swing allows it to beat an upgraded 2x4 in a fight where both players swing at the same time.
    •Machete now has a 3 swing animation and takes 3 hits to down.
    •Upgrading any Melee Weapon now requires 3 items to upgrade (blade, binding and rag).

    Weapons [discuss]
    •Burst Rifle now destroys armor in 2 bullets.
    •The first upgrade for the 9mm and Shorty now cost 250 parts.
    •The upgrades for the Hunting Rifle and Burst Rifle now cost 300 for the first level and 600 for the second level
    •The Hunting Rifle scope-in time is slightly faster at the base level. The upgraded levels have not changed.
    •The Hunting Rifle and Military Sniper headshot damage is increased. Now if you get a headshot on an enemy with a helmet, it will only take a body shot to down them.
    •Silenced weapon sounds now falloff at 70 meters. Silenced weapons can be heard less easily at a distance.

    Audio

    Survival Skills
    •Sharp Ears now has a third level and has had all levels significantly buffed.

    Maps
    •Downtown has had its render settings altered to make players appear brighter on the level and to make the overall lighting on the level a bit brighter.
    •The depth of field on High School was tweaked to match the other multiplayer maps.

    Supply Boxes
    •Supply boxes now only spawn comeback weapons (purchase weapon or machete) when a player is the "Last One Standing". In situations where a player would have received a comeback weapon, that a player now receives a 2x4 (if they don’t already have one).
    •Increased threshold for comeback parts to spawn so they won't spawn when a team is losing by a small margin.

    New Maps [discuss]
    •Water Tower ◦Set in Lincoln, PA, the Water Tower map features two primary chokepoints for some deadly face-to-face confrontations. It's mainly an outdoor map with a few indoor areas and some very unique lighting. It might seem open but it's really a tight map that's perfect for close quarters melee.

    •Capitol ◦Set in Boston, the Capitol Map features indoor and outdoor gameplay. It encourages the intelligent use of flanking.

    •Coal Mine ◦Set in Colorado, Coal Mine is a winter map that is spotted with abandoned buildings. It's a spacious map that has long lines of sight and a bridge that's a perfect perch for snipers. The dynamic snowstorm obscures the view so be on your toes.

    •Wharf ◦Set in the rusted-out docks where Joel encountered Robert, the Wharf map features close quarters gameplay, two snipers nests, and a giant boat. It's full of good opportunities for climbing, flanking and stealth.

    Started the Grounded Mode this morning...

    No HUD, can't see your health or how much ammo you got...

    1st encounter with the infected I died, seems the damage they cause has been raised a bit; I got hit maybe 3-4 times and I was down...

    Don't remember if items are supposed to flash or not but they are not flashing at all...

    New Game + glitch still works, so not really starting from scratch as all my skills and weapons are maxed...

    Yeah...

    But the glitch allows me to bypass playing just normal Grounded Mode and go straight to NG+ Grounded Mode with all my upgrades from previous play through's...

    It's a long read, but I was a beast at the combat in this game when I played it. Truth be told, you don't even have that many real run-ins with the infected. Hope it helps.

    Get the weapon holster upgrades from the work bench. Runners are quick and you won't have time to dig into your backpack for everything. They suffer from the smart, because their dumb mechanic. Sound is their strength and weakness. The spot where you fired your gun or threw that brick is exactly where they are going to go. Remember, the vision is strictly line of sight in this game. The moment you break their line of vision, you have a chance to crouch and hide.

    The strategy depends on the level, the numbers, your inventory, and your ammo. Separation and conservation should be your default strategy. R2 they ? and learn they routes. Hide in a spot where you can stealth ? once the chance is available. Close combat is very effective, but time consuming. It can take anywhere between 1 or 3 hits to ? infected. In a swarm situation, three hits on one enemy is three hits the others have to attack you as well. Always try to keep a melee weapon on you as well. These can be used for quick kills, but they loose that effect the more you use them. So just keep crafting them or swap them out.

    Bricks and Bottles count as melee weapons too. Just equip them and press square as you would for a punch. Bricks go for three hits, while bottles bust after one. You can also toss the bricks/bottles at a runner to momentarily stun them for a few seconds, maybe 3. But it's long enough to grab and stealth ? . Also, melee attacks don't alert nearby enemies if they can't see the ? . Best of all, they're every where in the game.

    Long as there ain't no clickers or bloaters around, guns blazing is a viable strategy. It's ammo consuming though and you're gonna need to keep on your toes. Their numbers can over whelm you in seconds. Shotguns, molotovs, nail bombs, melee weapons, and Shorty are the best weapons for that. You need to be able to get as many as you can at once. And/or have enough firepower to drop them or stun in their tracks with one shot. Standing your ground and letting them bottle neck can work. Pushing forward and letting them come to you works as well. Just make sure you're not flanked in the process. If you've got the flamethrower, just aim, and spray. Keep an eye on the fuel for that.

    You can also stick and move. Use their echolocation against them. Sneaking to another spot to hide after each shot. They'll go to the origin of sound and search the area. Giving you a chance to set up that second ? . Bow and Arrows are one shot stealth kills, so they're great for this tactic. Sidenote, remember clickers take two arrows.

    There are some parts of the game where you can just ? rush through the ? . Do a quick melee attack to stagger those in your way and keep trucking. And if you got swarmed, remember to press the L2 button to break free of them and haul ass to a spot to collect yourself.

    yea I'm getting better at combat. For the life of me i couldn't get past that one part but i got through it the first time when i tried it the next day. Patience has been the key for me. Don't just bumrush everything. Take your time and set up the kills
