How to approach it
This many Swarmers will flatten you in the open, so plan a route before you shoot. Bring Molotovs or napalm, pipe bombs, proximity mines and a high-capacity gun like an LMG. Lay mines along your retreat line and keep backing up while you fire.
Day and night
Hordes bed down somewhere dark during the day and move out at night to feed and drink. Scout the area in daylight while it sleeps, then pick when to start the fight. If you only need to pass through, give its route a wide berth after dark.
If it goes wrong
You can ride off, restock and come back. The kill count holds for a while, but stray Swarmers top the Horde back up if you wait too long. Keep your bike fuelled and parked on your exit route, not in the Horde's path.

Deacon recognises it as the Horde he and Kouri ran from while tracking an AWOL soldier to the logging camp. Clearing it is his way of saying he is done running.
