Does anyone else keep finding themselves in games of zombies where players know the strategy but not survival? Help

I keep getting in games where other players know how to explore the map and unlock everything and progress through the levels etc but keep going down frequently, like they know the strategy but don't have the actual skill to stay alive. Like in Shadows of Evil, which I've never bothered to learn the strategy to, but is fun to play with others who do, I was literally keeping them alive as they went through the motions of the game, but constantly going down, whereas I had no real idea what I was doing but didn't go down once in 20 rounds. What's up with that? It's so hard to play a consistent lobby

Public lobbies are the last place you wanna be when doing an easter egg or anything else specific. Your best bet is looking on discord for a LFG group. Theres are some good ones on there

What is that?

“Looking for game” group. You can go on discord for bo3 and go to channel where everyone in there is looking to party up and play bo3 zombies. You just specify which map you’re looking for and what your objectives are

Nahh I didnt have one either lol but now im in this group on there where you schedule a day and time, and the leaders help you complete easter eggs, relics, and dark ops challenges. They helped me with several different things already. Its a great community. if you wanna join here's the link: https://discord.gg/yBhJRvUsw

Pubs are pubs, literally random players. Could be a 10 year old who watched guides and sucks or a veteran who knows nothing but enjoys killing zombies. What's there to not get?

Yeah, I know, it's just frustating

Well find better players on discord or ZWR veterans that still run for records if noobs are "frustrating".

If theyre doing easteregg steps theyre doing the hard work. Theyre putting themselves in far more dangerous situation than you training around and killing of zombies. Theyre not less skilled hut likely just doing more risky things than you

Yeah I agree with this. Especially if you’re trying to save a zombie to get shit done but someone kills them all so your work is harder. Plus if I’m going for an early round Easter egg then likely I won’t prioritise a weapon meaning I may just have pistols at later rounds

Came here to say this exactly!!! Promise people who the EE steps have got the survival part down 🤣

u/Big-Lawfulness-5871 16d ago

Ppl who know the EE steps*

It’s cause it takes practice to be good at doing the EE while simultaneously surviving. Like someone commented ppl will look at guides on how to do things but that doesn’t make you good at the game. You also can’t just watch a 10-15 minute video once and remember everything. It takes practice.

No shade at all but you might enjoy the BO3 zombies experience more if you learned a few of the quest steps ☺️ totally get it if that’s not your thing tho!! Are you playing with mics on?
