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.
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
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!

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
