This is (late) 2019 way of doing it: send 4-5 zombies on two outermost buildings (barn upper floor from previous level can be reached via jump overlord for left side, on right what Guru did), rest just should be crammed in central building between two overlords. Make tank (or two) in each of two side buildings, start hurling venom clouds every 5-10 seconds and sell zombies (both in central building and those that form from clouds) if you are low on DNA. Try to aim tank shots so they just go above staircases, usually they either reach bottom OR hit someone that try to get up. Aaaand that's basically it. Not fun but works.
9 months late but just saying thanks, it worked perfectly for me, 2 tanks on top of the barn and 2 tanks on the top of the right most building, I had 3 spitter overlords on the main building shooting at the barn (off-map sniper aiming at the main building doesn't seem to shoot them) and 3 spitters on the right shoot at the entrance of the right building. I spammed the tank spit non-stop and it worked out. Thanks for the tip
I just finished this a few minutes ago and wanted to see how other people did it too. My version is very easy to do and it's pretty much a minimal version based on what you did with your tank at the top of the house: - You tank-up 2-3 zombies out of the ones that spawn at the top of the house, right away - Block the left side of the top level with a right-facing overlord to make sure zombies don't fall off - You set up a couple of overlords to get all the zombies on the map all the way on the top floor of the house (you sacrifice the ones on the far left and right, just make sure you spawn the tanks first) - Then all you have to do is zoom out your screen so you have a good picture of the entire area around the house, and keep pausing the game and using spit from your tanks at the top of the house. The tank spit has large aoe, it kills anyone in one-shot and it creates a poison cloud which lingers for a while and makes the humans stay away from it or die if they get into it. - Keep pausing the game and watching the sides to make sure you have a poison cloud barrier on both sides of your house at all times, and make sure snipers don't get too close to the house on the left side because if they are close enough they'll get a shot on the top level floor through the hole on the left side of the floor. - When you need DNA just sacrifice some of the zombies you collected up top, and also make sure you sacrifice all the zombies you generate from your spit kills (or you can just blow them up or try to get kills with them, doesn't really matter, you should have enough zombies collected in your house to fuel a spam of tank spits throughout all 4 minutes). You should spawn a couple more tanks along the way, because you want them to cover pretty much the whole top level so at any given time when you pause the game you'll have at least a tank well positioned both on the left and on the right side of the top floor, in order to maximize the spit arc coverage through the roof holes. You don't NEED to be right next to the hole to spit through it, but being next to it gives you a wider firing arc and allows you to hit pretty much any target all over the map, both left and right. That's it, really simple, no headaches, guaranteed success. I did try the variant with overlord spitters in the beginning but it was way too much micromanagement and having to run around chasing zombies all over the map and too much unreliability to the plan.
When i did this level i tried to use this strategy but a few molotov people got through, so i just made a choke point underneath the stair spawn points and pretty much anyone walking in it besides a Michelle would get eaten immediately
Looks like I will never be able to beat all of this game's challenges. They have changed the level again. There are now 2 offscreen snipers on each side firing. What’s the worst about it? The left snipers target your LEFT SPITTERS, which guarantees that your defenses will eventually be weak enough for a human to enter the building. And since your zombies aren’t unlimited, you can’t replace your spitters. The zombies that spawn from the dead humans? They get killed quickly, and making a speedy overlord to bring them into the building isn’t effective. This isn’t even near the end of the level. Those snipers harass you from the very beginning and likely halfway through the level your left spitters will be dead and someone will enter the building. Not to mention that the right snipers can start targeting your right spitters if all of your right zombies die. Hell, this might even make the level unbeatable because those snipers will eventually kill all of your spitters and you won’t be able to replace them. I would really like if you made another guide of this horrendous level that the developers seemingly don’t want us to beat.
@@HOGuru Thanks for the response and no need to apologize! It was hard to see if you were setting up the zombies for throwing or speed running but got it!
@@HOGuru Yeah, but I think the general strategy is still the same, just gotta put the overlords a bit behind and be morre careful of molotov throwers, it appears they come even more frequently now. Also would need to use the tank way more on the right side since the sniper kills a lot of overlords there.
they changed the map again. 2 snipers on each side firing from the top now

If you could make a video of this, I would love it.

this totally worked for me a lot easier.. tank artillery
Dude, you just saved me at least 2 days of trying to figure out how to beat this. Thank you soooooooo much

Thanks to you I was able to pass this mission, but it was harder because there were more snipers.
Great work! Glad I could help despite the update!
So, set up Overlords as automatic turrets, use Crawlers to set traps, and use Tanks to block anything really bad?
Heh, just found it. Wasn't coming up with 'zombie' and 'updated' or other combos. Just found it manually.
I'm glad to hear it! I neglected to put a link to this video in the old one - that's now been remedied! Thanks for letting me know.
Having a shit load of tanks spit would work right

i know im late as fuck but you can just place a lot of spitter overlords on the sniper towers and win pretty easily
So hard to follow what you are doing
Sorry! Does slowing down the video help?
@@HOGuru Thanks for the response and no need to apologize! It was hard to see if you were setting up the zombies for throwing or speed running but got it!
They changed again lol
They tweaked this one a bunch of times!

This entire act is so badly made
