U can activate more than one ritual in the directed mode so you can also increase the amount of zombie spawning you can activate the fire ritual and the raven ritual on top of the lion ritual to increase more zombie kills
Patchnotes said it did both. "Extended time between rounds *AND* the delay between spawning zombies after five looped rounds at the round cap in Directed Mode." ~January 3, 2025 Patchnotes
How so? I do 3 of the ritual items at a time and combine it with the oil trap glitch and can get 150-200 kills per trap activation. Gets a gun to gold in like 15 min once you get past like round 25.
Easier and better to do on citadel not in directed mode. All you got to do is wait til round 6 for a bug round make sure pap is open talk to Kraft and do the lion sword puzzle afterwords do the light ritual and run downstairs near quick revive. Try not to kill the last bug and you’ll have infinite zombie spawns
Okay so i totally cheesed my gold camos by using molotovs in the oil trap. It counts towards whatever gun you have in your hand at that time. Sure i usually kill a few zombies while killing one ghast but its so easy with picky eater. I think i did 10 guns in a few hours
Do you know if the incantations count for headshots? Because when I played last weekend i noticed when I use the fire and lightning ones it said critical kill
For those like me. That aren't doing Opal on a certain category. On round 10, you can just do the cannon and get the horshoe, Infinity ite zombies and you can just camp the left side of the canon near elemental pop No swords needed if you don't care about the doppleghast
Another way to get quick special eliminatons is to open the box with the Doppelghast, kill it, save and quit. When you reload the box will be locked up again
icitadel and u do the spells u can do all 4 at the same time while being in directed mode so u get extra extra zombies so that waiting for round is really affecting you
Pro-tip: since you’ll be likely be hitting directed mode for the opal camo challenges, get all the ARs and SMGs gold first. Then you can grind headshots while you do the opal challenges on your largest weapon categories. You’ll get almost all the gold and opal challenges done at the same time
OR? Here’s a thought ? Be good at the game ? and do a whole gun in one game. Yall people that play directed gotta get better and stop abusing things that are meant for new players
I discovered this inadvertently yesterday just trying to do directed mode in Citadelle. Once you set up all the rituals they just keep spawning no matter what and you can just obliterate everything. I got a few camos yesterday in no time.
Brother this has been discovered almost a month ago. A few days after the map came out. This camo grind is so long for no reason, Dark matter was easy as hell. Everyone has been exploiting since launch. I’ve been doing this for a while but it does come with risk of dying because we had no directed mode until now. I got to round 59 and it was just too painful to swap to another weapon and keep going. In normal mode I’d rather do the Castle Gate trap with molotov. The fire procs on the oil spills and when a zombie hits it the fire covered area procs your currently held weapon damage and critically kills them aka use trap to kill them and get free headshots. I finished my snipers with this and did my melee Afterlife camos. Use this before they patch it, melee afterlife camo is fucking annoying.
@@ImEcchi I was talking specifically about them adding a delay between zombie spawning on Directed Mode if you repeat the same rounds over and over which is in the new patch. With the ritual zombies spawning endlessly you can grind for hours and not miss a beat, delay or not.
But how do you turn it off? I was done with one of the weapons, but there were too many zombies for me to hit the box and get the next weapon I have to get camos
I'm sure someone else caugh this before me but you don't have to do all of the steps before you can do the infinite spawn strat. All you have to do is turn on the power and then pick up the charm in the alchemist's/study room (the maniquin's broach). Then when you go to activate the ritual to unlock the light incantation, leave the room and zombies will infinitely spawn. Given it's not at round 12, but if you are just looking for headshots this is much faster to setup and at a lower round.
Yeah you can do the infinite spawn trick on any round however I would higly recommend doing it at 12 to work on Opal at the same time. Doing Opal after you finish all the headshots makes the grind take a lot longer.
You can also use this to farm opal even quicker as on Citadel the parasites turn zombies into Doppelghasts. This is because when you pick up the light sword it spawns four parasites, if you kill them to pass round you will guarantee 4 parasites every round that over time will turn zombies into doppelghasts. This guarantees at least 4 doppelghasts per round, excluding the doppelghasts that naturally spwan.

By the way, you can use the valve in part of the Easter egg and if you build up pressure it will spawn more zombies in the and you can just constantly train them and don't complete it. Just go outside. Wait for a little second before it goes down to zero. (You can let it go down to zero) And then start building up pressure again and then you have zombies
You don't even need to go outside. Just start the hand crank, and don't go back to it. Zombies will keep spawning. Eventually the manglers may slow down, if you go outside and come back for that they'll start spawning again.
So unnecessary. Who was it hurting? Nobody. They did it because people are able to complete nebula faster. They should have thought about that before implementing directed mode in the first place..
Trust me, doing oil trap is WAY faster... At 15:16 you say that you dont want to do the oil traps cause it's hard to make sure you get the right kills with the right weapons.. The way i do it, i carry a gun i need Headshots on, and second weapon is the one i need special zombie kills. I just look at the minimap, and whenever i see one spawning and running towards me, i switch weapon, wait until it disapear in the minimap to make sure i got the special kill on that weapon, and switch back to headshot weapon. This way i end up going round 80+ doing that method.. takes 5 minutes to setup with a perkaholic gubble gum. the long part is getting to round 30+ .. at one point, you get like 6+ special zombie spawns per round, it's a lot faster!
@@mikemarion19I'm sure I went through at least 1000 rounds in directed grinding camos. If I did it after the update, I would have wasted an extra 4.16h of my life waiting between rounds.

@@LegoUnlocked treyarch retroactively edited those patch notes to your version. When they originally posted the patch notes, it only mentioned repeated round.
Directed Mode for Citadelle is super buggy!!! It don't even tell you to grab the horseshoe and other artifacts for the light beam step so when you get there if your unfamiliar with the EE your just stuck
Even Terminus and Liberty had some steps that are really dubiously explained. You're still honestly better off just watching a guide LOL the only reason that's slightly untrue is because of the fact that you can force it to stay on lower rounds. If it wasn't for that I'd be able to say that with 100% confidence.
If you get the claw and start the dark incantation ritual, you can have 2 infinite spawn points going at the same time. If you use the oil trap with molotovs, you can get crit kills, or just kills period for single shot weapons insanely fast too, including launchers & melee
you can..I’ve had 3 going but it was counterproductive with getting opal on a weapon at the same time. I was getting more headshots, but the round zombies were getting to jumbled within the ritual zombies, & by the time I found & killed them, the round was twice as long. It’s best to just do the rituals that are inside and leave outside for the round zombie spawns. The ritual ones will only come from the direction of the castle, but if you need to turn the round, you can run to the statue courtyard and the round zombies will spawn down there with you. I hope that makes sense
@@wheniask5403when you leave the castle, go down the steps, and go either left or right(there’s one on each side), and right before you go down the steps that take you to the bottom of the map, you’ll see a red switch that says “oil trap”…once you start it, stand on the steps side, throw a Molotov, and it will burn for the duration that the oil is falling. Each zombie kill will be a critical kill for whatever weapon you’re currently holding
Sir, you have just saved me so much time. I noticed the slow down for the room strat on Terminus and I have 10 weapons to.go to get gold. You have saved my life. I appreciate you bro. Love from South Africa.
I'll save you alot more time than this video. Just use the oil traps throw A molotov into the oil and stand on the ledge. Every kill is a critical kill. Use ether shroud to get to the next trap when it runs out easy easy. Also turn on rampage to make rounds quicker.
@brandonfreese3005 😂😂😂 way easier right. I got all my guns to afterlife in 1 day using the oil trap method. Only thing that the traps doesn't count is hipfires and brain rot kills.
The time between standard rounds is the same in both Regular and Directed Mode (from the time the last zombie is killed on one round to the time the next round starts and the first zombie spawns in). The time for that is 20 seconds. The change in Directed Mode is after the 5th consecutive round, that timer goes from 20 seconds to 35 seconds.
I have a feeling that they're gonna figure out how to nerf this. Either put a timer on before the step gets auto completed or stops, make it to where kills stop counting towards camos and challenges after a certain time, or just straight up disabling the ability to gain any kind of progress for camos, challenges, etc. While playing directed mode.
Did you know that the oil trap + molotov counts as critical kills from the weapon you are holiding? mixing your method with this is probably much faster
Insane how people complain about things getting nerfed/patched, but these content creators can't help but put everything on blast for their 10 seconds of attention and content. Can't wait for this to be changed and fixed because there's 10 videos about it every day
I was surprised by how upset people were by this, I guess people really don’t want to just play the game normally, even online sometimes people do glitches were they are outside the map 😭
Tip for manglers - go into the boss fight, kill the three manglers and then save and quit. You will reload in needing to do the last step of the easter egg, takes about a minute and then back into boss fight. You can do 30 in about 45 minutes per gun
You can do this strategy by pairing it with the light sword glitch that locks “round progressing zombies” in the light tunnel. Then you never have to worry about the rounds getting crazy high if you’re working on Gold or Afterlife. You can do this on standard mode as well and, if done properly, can be done at round 10.
The FASTEST way to get headshots is to play standard go to high rounds and use the traps with Molotovs. Each kill counts as a critical kill. Use aether shroud to bounce from trap to trap. Use the light incantation for extra zombies.
There is a better way. You go into the light tunnel room, as soon as you put your sword in, you spam shoot the pedestal, and youll see little strings of light going up. This will disable the timer. Next, shoot one wrong symbol in the air, then use a Kazmir to get out. From here, the round will never end, and no zombies will spawn besides from the ritual. Best part of this is, if you save and quit, it brings you back to when you first had the Kazmir grenade bought, and you can just do it all over again.
So for Liberty you can play directed as normal until you get to the church. Make sure you grab the water valve. Once you get to the church and pack, kill groundskeeper to get the key and handbrake that takes you to round 11 cap. Go to the bowling alley and start the water valve. then just never finish it and you get faster spawns mixed with the normal zombies.
I don't mind this nerf. It gives me 30 seconds of down time to respond to a text, or have a swig of water without having to run the pause timer down. For me this is a bit of a buff in that regard.
Thanks for the video! Is there a guide for this map on what I need to do to get to this area? I've never done this map before and I'm a little anxious about it.
Timed the difference between this and round 15 Liberty. Took about 2 hours to get gold, and 45 mins in Citadelle, if you do everything up to Krafft and start the broach incantation.
Lego you can freeze/cap the round on standard mode as well and the round never changes and you can get 2k headshots in 30mins a lot faster than this method
Next Bo6 update patch notes "Fixed a bug on Citadel where the soul box can be used to keep zombies spawning infinitely on round 12, now the soul box gets filled regardless of position on map." Or to put it in treyarch terms "fixed an issue on Citadel where the soul box doesn't get filled on round 12 in directed mode causing the easter egg not to progress as intended."
The time is actually a hell of a lot shorter if you’re running round blowing cars up and shooting your weapon I was counting three seconds in between zombies popping out of windows when I’ve played my directed mode bro
Well that's great news. I should definitely start the camo grind ASAP with my Liberty Falls save file. However I'm confident they will patch in functionality that patches save files with that change as it gets loaded into.
For liberty falls directed mode round 11. As soon as you kill a mangler you can save and quit and reload and you'll get another mangler soon as you load back in. Finish the round wait for the next mangler rinse and repeat. Sometimes when you load in you'll get a vermin round.
I did just test this myself and it's pretty much like playing round 55 without the HP or damage fairly good just gotta shove through a sea of dead however.
Once you get everything setup it’s not bad. Even when you save and quit then go back to the save file, the most you’ll have to do is the incantation again to start the infinite spawn. Still worth it tho
Video suggestion: light sword paired with frenzied guard with Retribution and extension augments and for melee macchiato use vampiric extraction and stick n move augments I think it fixes the light sword nerf everytime you use frenzied basically 15 second godmode
wait if you combine the infinite spawn of zombies with the parasites that spawn with the lion sword wouldn't that be better for the opal camo challenge, You have a bunch of zombies after every round, 4 parasites spawn turn 4 zombies into doupleghast plus the one that naturally spawns in so you get 5 in one round.
You cant do the parasite strat in directed bcos the round caps at like 11 or 12 and the parasites dont turn the zombies into doppleghasts untill round 13, which is lame asf from treyarch
Citadelle directed was not ready for launch. I've luckily never run into bugs while playing normal mode, but I still haven't completed the directed version of the map because of the amount of bugs and crashes I've run into.
No. do NOT do this! Me and my buddy had all 4 incantation rituals active to test your theory out and it just nerfs the spawns like crazy because 1. After a certain distance zombies just wont spawn from it 2. There can only be like 30 something zombies and if they’re spawning from 4 different places they spawn wayyyyy slower. It’s just better to have one active because all zombies will only spawn from that. A little tip if you want to do the incantation ritual strat with a buddy so you can both grind crits is, activate the light incantation, the raven claw by pack incantation, then just camp each exit in quick res room respective to where the zombies funnel in from each side. You’ll both be getting your own fair share of zombies. Naturally, because of what I stated before it’ll take at least 30% longer to get 2000 crits than just doing it solo, but it’s worth it to play with a friend in my opinion lol.
IT MAKES SENSE NOW. So the other day I was grinding opal on directed and it would consistently take me 45-46mins every time. We’ll this last gun I did it took me a whole hour instead. I was confused why it took so much longer.
Directed mode was ment for bad players to get the completion calling card but this is just gonna make people not even want to play the mode and find people glitching god mode just for the Easter eggs. Also I found it easier to legit run for opal because I get higher waves with many more spawns
I think it’s still more efficient to do the oil trap method on standard before it’s patched. you get like 10 dopples a rnd after 35 and to maximise both guns just switch guns every time a dopple runs to the trap for special kills and headshots. You can still use the rituals at same time for extra headshots till about rnd 30
I’ve already finished the nebula grind on everything besides the maelstrom….but if I wasn’t done already, the infinite spawns from the light incantation on directed would definitely be how I go about it. I did this just for XP to finish the squid game stuff, and in 1 hour I had around 4000-4300 elims…with around 3200 being crit kills without even really going for headshots.
“Our game is dying? What else can we do to make it worse?”
U can activate more than one ritual in the directed mode so you can also increase the amount of zombie spawning you can activate the fire ritual and the raven ritual on top of the lion ritual to increase more zombie kills
They lose 40% of the playerbase, and the next thing they do is add a paid event pass and nerf something that shouldn't be nerfed.

@@PROF-YAGI who hurt you
That's what she said
Am i right that everything before 6:34 is useless as he didnt understood it just takes longer for repeating rounds or am i wrong?
Directed mode actually helped me complete citadel for the first time solo. It allowed me to get some critical EE steps done.
Directed Mode for Citadelle is super buggy!!! It don't even tell you to grab the horseshoe and other artifacts for the light beam step so when you get there if your unfamiliar with the EE your just stuck
It also forces you to do the swords in a specific order.
yes it does
Yeah Citadelle directed mode has some issues...
Even Terminus and Liberty had some steps that are really dubiously explained. You're still honestly better off just watching a guide LOL the only reason that's slightly untrue is because of the fact that you can force it to stay on lower rounds. If it wasn't for that I'd be able to say that with 100% confidence.
If u close the game when the screen goes black when u die it save it as a File and u say on the round but it resets the round only for zombie
“And that’s why you get to round 12 guaranteed doppleghast each round while you’re getting tons of head” I don’t believe that was on accident
If you get the claw and start the dark incantation ritual, you can have 2 infinite spawn points going at the same time. If you use the oil trap with molotovs, you can get crit kills, or just kills period for single shot weapons insanely fast too, including launchers & melee
Can you do the dragon also that’s 3 infinite spawns?
you can..I’ve had 3 going but it was counterproductive with getting opal on a weapon at the same time. I was getting more headshots, but the round zombies were getting to jumbled within the ritual zombies, & by the time I found & killed them, the round was twice as long. It’s best to just do the rituals that are inside and leave outside for the round zombie spawns. The ritual ones will only come from the direction of the castle, but if you need to turn the round, you can run to the statue courtyard and the round zombies will spawn down there with you. I hope that makes sense
how do you do the oil trap method
@@wheniask5403when you leave the castle, go down the steps, and go either left or right(there’s one on each side), and right before you go down the steps that take you to the bottom of the map, you’ll see a red switch that says “oil trap”…once you start it, stand on the steps side, throw a Molotov, and it will burn for the duration that the oil is falling. Each zombie kill will be a critical kill for whatever weapon you’re currently holding
Ik just stop taling about it before treyach nerf it😂😂😂
1:28 you wanna know what else is
Sir, you have just saved me so much time. I noticed the slow down for the room strat on Terminus and I have 10 weapons to.go to get gold. You have saved my life. I appreciate you bro. Love from South Africa.
I'll save you alot more time than this video. Just use the oil traps throw A molotov into the oil and stand on the ledge. Every kill is a critical kill. Use ether shroud to get to the next trap when it runs out easy easy. Also turn on rampage to make rounds quicker.
@ I love you bro.
@brandonfreese3005 😂😂😂 way easier right. I got all my guns to afterlife in 1 day using the oil trap method. Only thing that the traps doesn't count is hipfires and brain rot kills.
The time between standard rounds is the same in both Regular and Directed Mode (from the time the last zombie is killed on one round to the time the next round starts and the first zombie spawns in). The time for that is 20 seconds. The change in Directed Mode is after the 5th consecutive round, that timer goes from 20 seconds to 35 seconds.
Citadel is bugged on directed, if your unlucky it will completely soft lock you and you'll need to start a new match
I have a feeling that they're gonna figure out how to nerf this. Either put a timer on before the step gets auto completed or stops, make it to where kills stop counting towards camos and challenges after a certain time, or just straight up disabling the ability to gain any kind of progress for camos, challenges, etc. While playing directed mode.
It’s drastically slows down spawns after you repeat the same round 5 times
1:28 u know what else is massive…
Low taper meme?
👅
LOWWWWWWWW TAPER FAAAAADE
LOW TAPER FADE
Did you know that the oil trap + molotov counts as critical kills from the weapon you are holiding? mixing your method with this is probably much faster
At 10:15 you had a self revive and instadied
Im pretty sure there’s a cut in the video right before he dies (so we didn’t have to watch the whole process of dying, self res and dying again)
@ yea true. It wouldn’t surprise me if it was yet another bug though
Keep it up the great work my brother ❤
Insane how people complain about things getting nerfed/patched, but these content creators can't help but put everything on blast for their 10 seconds of attention and content. Can't wait for this to be changed and fixed because there's 10 videos about it every day
7:42 its not gonna let you open the hatch cause you gotta wait till Revenov stop talking first
if you don't grind opal just yet, just do the lightning incantation one since you can do before unlocking jug.
I’ve been doing the oil trap with the ritual unlimited spawns. Got four guns done in one game
I was surprised by how upset people were by this, I guess people really don’t want to just play the game normally, even online sometimes people do glitches were they are outside the map 😭
Tip for manglers - go into the boss fight, kill the three manglers and then save and quit. You will reload in needing to do the last step of the easter egg, takes about a minute and then back into boss fight. You can do 30 in about 45 minutes per gun
You can do this strategy by pairing it with the light sword glitch that locks “round progressing zombies” in the light tunnel. Then you never have to worry about the rounds getting crazy high if you’re working on Gold or Afterlife. You can do this on standard mode as well and, if done properly, can be done at round 10.
Where did you get that checklist I need it
Facts
1:28 you know what else is massive legounlocked? 😏😏
The Low Taper fade
Is it low taper fade?
LoW TApeR FaDE
Lego, you know you’ve made it when your fans love talking about “what else is massive.”
Love the videos! You inspire me!
11:58 could you repeat that 😅
To get manglers consistently while doing this, when the mangler spawns save and quit then reload the game and a mangler will spawn every round flip
The FASTEST way to get headshots is to play standard go to high rounds and use the traps with Molotovs. Each kill counts as a critical kill. Use aether shroud to bounce from trap to trap. Use the light incantation for extra zombies.
do you know what else is massive😁
No one cares kiddo
Your mom cares 😮
I have a massive...
Amount of debt.
LOW TAPER FADE
LOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWW
There is a better way. You go into the light tunnel room, as soon as you put your sword in, you spam shoot the pedestal, and youll see little strings of light going up. This will disable the timer. Next, shoot one wrong symbol in the air, then use a Kazmir to get out. From here, the round will never end, and no zombies will spawn besides from the ritual. Best part of this is, if you save and quit, it brings you back to when you first had the Kazmir grenade bought, and you can just do it all over again.
So for Liberty you can play directed as normal until you get to the church. Make sure you grab the water valve. Once you get to the church and pack, kill groundskeeper to get the key and handbrake that takes you to round 11 cap. Go to the bowling alley and start the water valve. then just never finish it and you get faster spawns mixed with the normal zombies.
nerfing directed mode but cheaters are still rampant. Priorities are crazy.
I don't mind this nerf. It gives me 30 seconds of down time to respond to a text, or have a swig of water without having to run the pause timer down. For me this is a bit of a buff in that regard.
where can i get that spread sheet?
Thanks for the video! Is there a guide for this map on what I need to do to get to this area? I've never done this map before and I'm a little anxious about it.
Timed the difference between this and round 15 Liberty. Took about 2 hours to get gold, and 45 mins in Citadelle, if you do everything up to Krafft and start the broach incantation.
Lego you can freeze/cap the round on standard mode as well and the round never changes and you can get 2k headshots in 30mins a lot faster than this method
Where can I download the sheet to keep track of the challenges? I love the layout
This
Next Bo6 update patch notes "Fixed a bug on Citadel where the soul box can be used to keep zombies spawning infinitely on round 12, now the soul box gets filled regardless of position on map." Or to put it in treyarch terms "fixed an issue on Citadel where the soul box doesn't get filled on round 12 in directed mode causing the easter egg not to progress as intended."
it won’t let me start the light incantation. i’m at the exact same step when trying to start it, anyone got any ideas for what happened?
At 1st it worked for me, now i can't do it lol. Maybe they nerfed it
@@aecxy2725 they didn't
the parasites for the lion sword count as special kills for opal. 4 each round you fail it.
The time is actually a hell of a lot shorter if you’re running round blowing cars up and shooting your weapon I was counting three seconds in between zombies popping out of windows when I’ve played my directed mode bro
I wouldn’t be surprised if they added in something where zombies don’t spawn for the soul box unless you’re near it or in the same room.
You should release a copy of your excel sheet because having one of these to track our own progress would be very nice.
My boss fight won’t start on citadel! 😢
If you have an old save file it still has the old spawn timers.
I’ve been playing my pre patch file and the timer isn’t bad
Well that's great news. I should definitely start the camo grind ASAP with my Liberty Falls save file. However I'm confident they will patch in functionality that patches save files with that change as it gets loaded into.
I think they made the in-between round time longer so people doing the Easter eggs aren't harassed by zombies as much.
For liberty falls directed mode round 11. As soon as you kill a mangler you can save and quit and reload and you'll get another mangler soon as you load back in. Finish the round wait for the next mangler rinse and repeat. Sometimes when you load in you'll get a vermin round.
What are your color settings? They seem to really pop
whats the strat for elites, is it still directed liberty with the ltg?
"Guaranteed Doppelghast, each round, while you're getting tons of head!" - Sounds good to me!
6:39 citadelle des movies 🍿
Yo start the crow and lion to get double spawns if you want the slower guys too start dragon and lightning.
I did just test this myself and it's pretty much like playing round 55 without the HP or damage fairly good just gotta shove through a sea of dead however.
Thank you bro🙏
Once you get everything setup it’s not bad. Even when you save and quit then go back to the save file, the most you’ll have to do is the incantation again to start the infinite spawn. Still worth it tho
Have you covered the oil trap Molotov method? It counts toward headshot progression for whatever gun you have equipped.
SEVENTY DOLLAR GAMEEEE 👽😭💀
Pick up loot keys, if you want, then go to the vault, either loot or leave the vault immediately. The time between rounds is way less.
I’m currently playing directed capped at round 15 for the guaranteed elites, takes around 15 mins per weapon to get from afterlife to nebula.
Easy headshots in lion room as well with melee macchiato augment for ammo
Video suggestion: light sword paired with frenzied guard with Retribution and extension augments and for melee macchiato use vampiric extraction and stick n move augments I think it fixes the light sword nerf everytime you use frenzied basically 15 second godmode
wait if you combine the infinite spawn of zombies with the parasites that spawn with the lion sword wouldn't that be better for the opal camo challenge, You have a bunch of zombies after every round, 4 parasites spawn turn 4 zombies into doupleghast plus the one that naturally spawns in so you get 5 in one round.
You cant do the parasite strat in directed bcos the round caps at like 11 or 12 and the parasites dont turn the zombies into doppleghasts untill round 13, which is lame asf from treyarch
Citadelle directed was not ready for launch. I've luckily never run into bugs while playing normal mode, but I still haven't completed the directed version of the map because of the amount of bugs and crashes I've run into.
Thankfully I already got the grind done
Use a combination of the parasite method and the directed mode to hold wave 10 forever.
yooo where did you find that excel?
Hey, LegoUnlocked, could you possibly do other incantation rituals to buff up spawns faster as well?
No. do NOT do this! Me and my buddy had all 4 incantation rituals active to test your theory out and it just nerfs the spawns like crazy because 1. After a certain distance zombies just wont spawn from it 2. There can only be like 30 something zombies and if they’re spawning from 4 different places they spawn wayyyyy slower. It’s just better to have one active because all zombies will only spawn from that. A little tip if you want to do the incantation ritual strat with a buddy so you can both grind crits is, activate the light incantation, the raven claw by pack incantation, then just camp each exit in quick res room respective to where the zombies funnel in from each side. You’ll both be getting your own fair share of zombies. Naturally, because of what I stated before it’ll take at least 30% longer to get 2000 crits than just doing it solo, but it’s worth it to play with a friend in my opinion lol.
Appreciate the info @aqostle
IT MAKES SENSE NOW. So the other day I was grinding opal on directed and it would consistently take me 45-46mins every time. We’ll this last gun I did it took me a whole hour instead. I was confused why it took so much longer.
@LegoUnlocked been following you for years, your super inspiring and a hard worker! Keep up the great work
Directed mode was ment for bad players to get the completion calling card but this is just gonna make people not even want to play the mode and find people glitching god mode just for the Easter eggs.
Also I found it easier to legit run for opal because I get higher waves with many more spawns
I think it’s still more efficient to do the oil trap method on standard before it’s patched. you get like 10 dopples a rnd after 35 and to maximise both guns just switch guns every time a dopple runs to the trap for special kills and headshots. You can still use the rituals at same time for extra headshots till about rnd 30
Any chance you have that spreadsheet file open to use somewhere, awesome idea to have while I’m in game.
I’ve already finished the nebula grind on everything besides the maelstrom….but if I wasn’t done already, the infinite spawns from the light incantation on directed would definitely be how I go about it. I did this just for XP to finish the squid game stuff, and in 1 hour I had around 4000-4300 elims…with around 3200 being crit kills without even really going for headshots.
