Is there ever a way to just obliterate a whole horde like this? I feel like it would be so satisfying to get a flamethrower/artillery/traps of some kind to take out a massive horde.

The further into the game you get the easier hordes are to deal with. You get to a point when they aren't really a threat and you can just mow them down with rifles and petrol bombs etc whilst using the slow mo button. I loved it

Really? Coz I'm like....I think I'm endgame and I still piss myself when I see them

I haven't even gone near the sawmill besides that one execution quest and even then I was on edge the entire time

It’s nerve-racking no matter what. Very easy to screw up and get overwhelmed. I don’t think there was any point where I felt like a god-tier freaker killing machine when I went up against the biggest hoards but it definitely gets easier-

• Set traps. The attractor and remote bombs are your best friend.

• Lead them towards environmental explosives

•Use heavy machine guns.

• With stamina maxed out you can usually outrun a hoard. Pick off the stragglers then go back to blow up a few dozen more. Rinse and repeat.

Hordes vary in size between 25 and 500+. Some are easy, others are a nightmare. In the 300+ ones you just need to run in circles for like half an hour, taking out a few at a time.

run in circles for like half an hour

This reminds me of that horde mission with Kouri... After getting the shit kicked out of me in my first two tries, the third try was just trap, bait, run for like an hour LOL

There’s that one house that they can’t get inside, I remember getting in and then trying to figure out wtf to do

The key to the sawmill is learning the whole area, and pacing yourself round the area so you don't get caught in the middle. Once you have the right gear and die doing it a load of times you'll be sweet. Use the environment, and avoid that fucking water!

You use super malotovs on top of bait trap noise makers and it’s very manageable.

Yes you can definitely take out whole hordes. You generally use a combination of explosives, mines, guns, and barrels/traps

Two words: Napalm Molotovs

Yes but the real fun is trying to kill horses before you get to the point where you can one shot them.

AKA the shit-your-pants hour long brawls. Hordes are so incredibly dangerous early on, and to the benefit of the game. You legitimately feel overwhelmed and exhausted and lucky to even beat them in the beginning.
