Its all about using the high ground effectively when dealing with those massive freaker groups. Getting up onto rooftops or finding a good spot on some terrain gives you plenty of breathing room, and those mindless creatures really struggle with climbing. A solid approach is picking spots near cave entrances or abandoned buildings where you can funnel them through tight spaces, makes it easier to thin them out with explosives or some well-placed traps.

The real game-changer is how you can use this height advantage to set up some nasty surprises. Try placing attractors near fuel tanks or other explosive stuff while youre safely above, and when the timing is right let them have it. Keeping a suppressed weapon handy is pretty important too since you might need to deal with any scouts or stragglers quietly before taking on the main group.

Just remember to always scout a couple backup positions you can quickly reach, because sometimes things dont go according to plan and youll need somewhere else to jump to. Working with the environment is key here especially when youre dealing with the bigger hordes that can easily overwhelm you if youre stuck on the ground. Maybe interesting - tossing a napalm molotov from above and watching the chaos unfold is both effective and oddly satisfying
