KF2 DieSector Wave 25 on Hell on Earth: Solo Marathon Build

This is a compact strategy, rewritten from a community guide, for the endless-mode wave 25 goal on the DieSector map at Hell on Earth difficulty. It relies on a level 25 Survivalist, one Medic weapon and a simple tactic: never stop moving. For the map's collectibles see DieSector bobblehead collectibles.

Requirements

  • A level 25 Survivalist.
  • Solo or offline play. Zed count and strength scale with the number of players, so fewer players means fewer and weaker ZEDs. Solo is the easiest way to reach wave 25 on Hell on Earth.
  • The HMTech-501 assault rifle (Medic weapon, 2000 Dosh).

The marathon tactic

The marathon means running around the map and always moving forward. It is a very good way to survive when you are alone: you keep ahead of the pack and kill whatever is in front of you.

Plan

  1. Survive the early waves using the marathon tactic until you can buy the HMTech-501.
  2. With the 501, continue the marathon as a Survivalist, throwing the 501's medic grenade in front of you. It heals you and poisons the following ZEDs, and small ZEDs can be killed with the grenade alone.
  3. Deal with medium and large ZEDs using the 501's normal fire, the Hemogoblin or the RPG (a weapon harness is needed to carry these).

That is the whole method. Good luck with the achievement.
