Survival - No Mercy - Rooftop
Where/how? I've yet to make it past 5min and change... i've mostly done it with pubs though, so.. we had 1 on the minigun, me beside the gun, and 2 by AC. Problem is always dealing with 3rd and 4th tanks.

Re: Survival - Dead Air - Rooftop
We had 2 approaches:
One is in the corner of the fence opposite of the crane ladder. The tanks will often be forced to climb over the fence and you can easily kill them. Smokers canīt pull you away far thru the fence. A dangeri s a smoker on the other building who can pull 1 off the ledge. The real problem with this was that the smokers behind the fence will just accumulate and accumulate if you donīt hunt them down. So later when a tank comes you have like 2-3 smokers interfering with you and costing you the game.
The other is on the little rooftop with the ammo. The best thing is that you wonīt have ammo problems and can alternate between shotty and M16 as need. You have to pay attention to any smoker spawns and shoot them quickly. The dealbreaker for this position is that once a tank makes it up you are VERY liklely to get punched off and insta KO.

Whiskey, I think you're talking about a different map. As far as I can remember, there is no Dead Air scenario that involves a minigun besides the finale. Maybe you're talking about No Mercy?

Re: Survival - No Mercy - Rooftop
If I remember correctly, we camped in the room under the minigun. The tank pathing sometimes takes it through the window, where it gets slowed immensely while the shotguns go to work. Constant struggle, though, because there's too many openings into the room.

Re: Survival - No Mercy - Rooftop
got gold under minigun! 13min and change
assuming helipad is south and minigun room is north:
- greasy_mullet was in SW corner by the front door (left of radio) shooting out and left.
- I was by big window in SE corner, mostly shooting out, both left and right
- JB4 was in NE corner, where the north wall meets the east-side double doors
- sawviper was between me and greasy, middle of south wall facing north to cover other window and small door by stairs.
great games guys

Re: Survival - No Mercy - Rooftop
Another interesting one is on the satellite dish roof. Everybody gets up and crouches on the wall farthest from the ladder. Only 2 ways up, and smokers have a hard time pulling people off because the half-wall blocks. Tanks have to climb up, and the only two climbs are the ladder itself or the other corner on the same wall as the ladder, so they're easy to spot. Single tanks died before getting a strike. Only times we ran into issues were the double tanks at 6min. the smoke stack blocks you from being launched off by the tank, so make sure to keep it between you and the tanks if ti comes to that.
No smokers pull you from behind if you're crouched, only ever get pulled towards the helipad or occasionally from the left against the wall, either are easy to break before you go anywhere if your in a decent team.a.k.a. NinjaPirateAssassin

Re: Survival - No Mercy - Rooftop
I hit 1030 under the minigun. 2 or 3 can crowd under the pipe and cover the approach from the helipad and save each other from smokers. This is also a favorite tank approach and makes for a really easy kill. You can then have 1 other "roam" the room and mow down horde as needed. As for myself I watched out the side door ("east") and cleared smokers, boomers and hunters coming down the firing lane by the satellite dish. Tanks will climb the ledge right in front of this door making them cannon fodder for a pair of autoshotties. For extra insurance I saved a propane tank on the ledge next to where the tanks climb up and got a solo kill when 2 tanks showed up and everyone else cleared the other.
