Daily Hive: Last Stand

I just run through solo with the Gunner on Master. :grin:

Yeah it’s a weird one. Some of the older hives’ leaderboards were broken, but more recently have fixed themselves, but other leaderboards are still broken. I can’t tell you exactly which ones, but recently some of mine have updated themselves, but Last Stand is one of the ones which doesn’t.

We had a rubbish spawn at the start too! Two Mulchers regardless of how fast we tried to run. I played another game afterwards and one Mulcher spawned. Previously we wouldn’t get any. I wonder if they’ve changed the spawns?

Yeah, we got a really nasty spawn with 5-6 mulcher Scions over the two acts. Made my Gunner more useful, but that sure was terrible…normally it hasn’t been that hard for me either. Thankfully everybody was on the same page during the run. Didn’t have that luck in matchmaking.

Is today’s hive Last Stand again?

Yes.

Ugh.

This hive sucks.

I think we’ve now had every hive as a daily or weekly except for The Surge, The Gatekeepers, The Mines and The Split.

I don’t feel like I’ve seen The Hive either, but I don’t always play the dailies, so I could be mistaken.

My bad, yes, we haven’t had The Hive yet either.

Forever as well. There’s quite a few actually that didn’t show up yet.

Nah, it’s alright. Just a tad too easy.

We have had Forever as a daily hive already.

Ooooh, you’re right. Did we have the Split yet?

No. Split definitely yet has to show up… not that I’m complaining it hasn’t.

Daily Hive: I can’t Stand! :grin:

I never have fun on Last Stand. Just a garbage hive honestly.

Suppose that’s just my opinion though.

Yeah, the runs I see on YouTube seem to show the easy spawns. Also, in all the topics covering this hive, they never mention that it’s possible you can get a boatload of mulchers. I almost started to fear I was the only one getting these spawns and the game was screwing with me.

Managed to get through this hive today on Master as my Veteran because I wanted the XP for him as he’s only 18. It was certainly a bigger challenge than in the past since I normally do it with Tactician or Gunner. The first act we ended up running through it and the Brawler took down the single Mulcher that spawned. The trouble was with act 2. The Brawler kept using his ult, then wondering why he couldn’t tank anything and was going down repeatedly. The other guy was an Anchor, who wouldn’t let me get any ammo boxes, nor oblige me by taking my Claw and filling it up with ammo when I dropped it in front of him in saferoom. They then blamed me for getting hardly any kills. These guys would knife me in the saferoom after each fail. I was expecting the kick to come at any moment. Then we did it!

Once we roughed it through the first couple second act encounters, I finally got my ult. In the previous fails what happened was the Brawler was pushing far ahead, triggering the the juvies and drones who would put him down immediately then advance too far for me to have a good position to pop the ult (the chest-high piece of cover that can fit two people). At least I think that’s what happened, unless they were on a timer and would’ve advanced that far anyway. So I needed to get my ult before then and push ahead to the cover piece before any juvies and drones got to that point. On the successful run, the timing was perfect. I downed all the drones and popped a bunch of juvies. I hardly had any Claw ammo though, so it ran out well before ult was done and had to switch to snub. Didn’t help Anchor took some of the Claw ammo too for no reason. By that time I had done plenty of damage though, so Anchor could clean up. Had zero ammo for the LZ, only one flash. We got through by skin of our teeth. Anyway, we finally got through it and now I can breath a sigh of relief!

Did something similar to this for my final run. Couldn’t avoid the first mulcher, but thankfully there was only one. Used the ult to kill him but didn’t wait to recharge it before entering saferoom. Charged ult after saferoom. Didn’t seem to cause any problems. Ran into first encounter and used it again then. No bleed. Then continued running to the end and nothing else spawned. A few juvies made it to me as door was shutting and I killed them with frags and Claw. It seems pretty repeatable, but the only tricky part is first act and timing the ult incase of getting sandwiched by a spare drone from behind and a mulcher in front, or heaven forbid more than one mulcher! When hearing enemies creeping up from behind it’s hard to be calm and precise with the salvo rather than just clearing the way of everything in sight and making a run for it.

Its all fun and games until ‘Venom Run’ shows up as the daily hive one day.
