Rusting Factory Challenge
Locker Room
OBJECTIVES: Find the loot and get out
SPECIAL ENEMIES: None
There are 8 lockers but you only need to find the right 3 to complete the round and get out, making Pizza Guy Glenn (PGG) absolutely vital to this map at least in the first few rounds. If you get the right 3 lockers early on this map is a doddle and in later rounds where 4 stars are out of reach you will probably need to switch PGG to leader to give you the edge on finding the loot. In that scenario Drive-by-Daryl can be useful as he can get to lockers and back to safety without fear of injury. In earlier rounds I have been having some luck with Zeke with the interrupter Morning Star attacking spawn and PGG with the crescent edge opening lockers and occasionally helping with kills. Princess is fairly useless on this map and can be used to soften up walkers in the early rounds and if you have the tactical decimator, possibly open some lockers too.

Through the Wire
OBJECTIVES: Kill all of the 14 walkers and make the place safe again
SPECIAL ENEMIES: 4 x Tank and 2 x SWAT
This is the map where Princess is likely to be more useful teamed with Sasha and Yumiko however without Sasha in the lead you will need Yumiko to have a crippling weapon and Sasha to have a harpoon gun to avoid getting overrun in later rounds. This map is easy in earlier rounds but gets progressively more difficult as you start to run out of space. In the earlier rounds you van use the fences to your advantage, but later on you will probably want to think about switching Sasha into the leader slot to ensure 3 points – potentially with ease.

Empty Hideout
OBJECTIVES: Find the loot
SPECIAL ENEMIES: None
There are 3 chests that you need to unlock to find loot then exit either at the left or the right side of the map. This is another map where Pizza Guy can be very useful for finding loot (armed with the crescent edge to help killing walkers). In early rounds Zeke can be useful, but in later rounds you will probably want to switch him for a bruiser. Riot Gear Glenn may prove to be very useful especially if you have your riot shield upgraded, as if he starts charged he can keep walkers herded whilst Pizza Guy gets to work opening chests. When I use Zeke I tend to use the support Michonne’s cat with him as combined with perseverance, he keeps charged up, allowing him to do more damage and avoid getting hit with 2 attacks in a turn which pretty much always turns into an insta-struggle.

Opposing Forces
OBJECTIVES: Get to the exit, but beware death lurks behind every corner
SPECIAL ENEMIES: 3 x Raiders, 2 x Tanks and 2 x SWAT
Every week there is a challenge that can prove very difficult, and Opposing Forces gets the prize in the Rusting Factory challenge. Three melee Raiders are the first obstacle and overwatch is your only friend in the early rounds. In later rounds, when spawn rates are faster, the walkers will help level the playing field and give you the opportunity to get to the gate more easily, but Princess as leader is pretty much dead weight as leader. If you can get past the 3 raiders (you don’t need to kill them), and open the gate (1 turn), you run headlong into a herd of regular walkers, Tanks and SWATs. In later rounds you can use a technique with Drive-by-Daryl as leader with 2 scouts (1 as a potential sacrifice) to lure the Raiders into a chase, then open the gate and use Daryl’s LT to get to the exit without a fight, however this technique is by no means guaranteed and can cost a lot of gas and put lots of scouts in hospital.

Two Way
OBJECTIVES: Get the loot and Get Out
SPECIAL ENEMIES: 2 x Tank
There are 6 chests to loot to find the 3 with loot, making Pizza Guy a great asset on this map, and because there are 2 Tanks Zeke can also be useful. Princess however, is dead weight again on this map and you will quickly find that you may need to switch her out for Zeke or Pizza Guy as leader and throw one of your better bruisers into the mix armed with an interrupter staff/hockey stick. When I use Zeke I tend to use the support Michonne’s cat with him as combined with perseverance, he keeps charged up, allowing him to do more damage and avoid getting hit with 2 attacks in a turn which pretty much always turns into an insta-struggle.

Kill Room
OBJECTIVES: Set Kill all the Walkers and make the place safe again
SPECIAL ENEMIES: 2 X TANKS
As the Star Hero is Princess, her LT is fairly useless so if you arm her with the Decimator and try to get her charged you might be able to stun the regular walkers long enough to let your other heroes get to work. There are no spawns on this map but the walkers and tanks descend on you very fast. Early on it’s easy enough to clear this one with a ranged team but you will quickly find that you need to team Princess with players who can take a hit or in Zeke’s case not take hits at all. It’s easier to defend Princess in one of the corners, but to be honest for most of us this is a map that will be hard to earn 4 stars in as we progress through the rounds.
SPAWNS: None.
