How to approach it

Stock fire bombs, explosives, attractors and stamina cocktails before you ride out. Use choke points and explosive barrels, and never stop moving. A high-capacity LMG cleans up the stragglers once the fire has done its work.

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 remembers an early run for Weaver out to the Lost Cabin Mine, back when spotting a Horde meant turning the bike around.
