      If you complete the 100%, wich is very easy considering it is a DLC, you get the ability to craft the consumables for free.
      Meaning you can have unlimited boom bait and blunderbuss ammo while being capable of spamming the phosphorus coating, making all your shots set zombies on a blue fire like a west legend zombie hunter.

      For me the most useful thing is the close distance execution animation. If you only press the fire button you can chain executions and kill a bunch of zombies.
      But it can get you killed depending of the situation.

      Forget an RDR2 DLC, wouldve nice if they finished the base game in the first place lets be honest. All the mysteries like the missing Van Horn Princess, the stuff that was meant to go on in Emerald Ranch, and a plethora of half-finished lore and side-quests that don't exist except on the compendium and random NPC dialogue. That's the most irritating part is that none of those were sorted out and the games just getting more glitchy and buggy per update instead.

      I know I’m replying to a year old comment, but there’s still squatches walking around the area whether you kill the “last” one or not. It could just be they were implanted for the paranormal aspect of the dlc, but I like to think the last one just didn’t know more if his kind were out there and drawn out due to the zombie outbreak. Or maybe he meant he was the last from his specific tribe? Who knows

    • @paranoyd70
      @paranoyd70 Рік тому +8

      While I can't (nor wouldn't disagree) I have to mention the Zombie Army games, which started off as DLC spin-offs for the Sniper Elite series and had a similar theme, though its not open world. The Sniper Elite series is a WW2 stealth/sniping game that is very underrated, but does not have a wide appeal. The Developer (Rebellion Studios) decided to give their game the "Undead Nightmare" treatment by giving it a zombie theme using recycled levels of the Sniper Elite series. However, they changed the overall structure. Whereas Sniper Elite (V2) was a mission based game, their zombie themed "Zombie Army" games went for a more get from point A to point B structure, very similar to Left 4 Dead where you get from safehouse to safehouse (set in a zombie themed WW2 setting), killing hordes of zombies along the way. The series is also known for its X-ray kill cam which is gory & extremely satisfying. But unlike the Sniper Elite series, which focuses on stealth, the Zombie Army games focuses completely on shooting action. The Devs meant for this to be a separate DLC standalone (just like Undead Nightmare), but it became popular enough to become its own series.
      Zombie Army collects the first 3 installments as a trilogy (Zombie Army Trilogy) and has since released a Zombie Army 4. All available on Consoles (including the Switch) & PC. Zombie Army Trilogy & Zombie Army 4 were released for PS4, XBO but are playable on PS5 & X-Box Series S & X (& was also released for the Switch). I would highly recommend checking it out if you like zombie themed games. And the -ray kill cam makes them unique & satisfying.

    The music in this game is so good! Some of it sounds like edited versions of songs from the main game. The horses are a bit difficult to find, but each horse of the apocalypse spawns in a certain region, at least one spawns randomly j think, but names are like a hint to where they could be. War was found in new Austin cause h e a t. The others could be found in other places related to what they look like, sound, or name. And the zombie names are exclusive to the game, some are edited injury noises from the main game, and maybe animal noises from the main game as well. Got no more knowledge cause that could be spoilers. And you get ammo from helping people. Enjoy the game!!!! ^^

    It is so dead obvious this is not canon because John does not give a flying fuck about his whole family being dead.

      No shit Sherlock, it's not canon. Also Marston tied them up so that they wouldn't cause troubles and by the end.... did you even play the game or just got scared of zombies, boyo?
