🔰 Mod post Your Guide to Horde Rush
What is up, it's the Man with a Plan Dogman here.
It's time for the yearly tradition of hauling straight ass away from hordes of Sideways creatures. That's right. HORDE RUSH IS BACK! So go put some pep in that step as we sprint right into the ins and outs of this LTM...
Survive the Night.
It's you against the world... well actually more like you against the endless hordes of Sideways monsters.
To help you in battle, you can use Augments. At the start of each round, you can select an Augment that will buff you for the rest of the match. These augments can range from Siphon to getting a Double Jump.
Remember, your first re-roll for these augments is free. But after you will need to spend Monster Parts to re-roll again. Oh, and I should also mention that no need to worry about Ammo this time around as you now have infinite ammo for all weapons.
After getting some parts from Monsters, you can spend them at Vending Machines for weapons or the new gimmick for this year's Horde Rush: Kits.
Kits are a special perk you can purchase at these vending machines, or sometimes get them from Augments. These usually give you something special such as Bouncing Boomstick Immunity + Passively gaining Boomsticks or getting Inferno perks.
As you play, you'll swap between playing 1 of 3 phases:
- Attack: Throw hands with the horde.
- Move: Move towards the new safe zone, avoiding both the storm and the horde.
- Vs: Throw hands against a Boss.
- Endless. This phase only shows up after finishing the final round, at this point your goal is too see how long you can last before the horde overwhelms you.
Each round also has a chance to be a SPECIAL round. This is where a unique gameplay gimmick gets added, this can range from having Cars spawn to only facing up against the Littlest of Shits.
You can que up for this LTM Solo or take on the Horde with a Squad.
Ranking up in the world Tonight.
You may have noticed you have something called Horde Rank.
By simply playing this mode, you can progress your Rank which will give you buffs for future games. These buffs range from having more health, increased damage, or starting with more Parts.
You can also access special vending machines when you hit a high enough rank, letting you get even more powerful guns. You can also make the mode harder at a high enough rank, allowing you to get a much higher score.
Join them for a Bite.
Now it's time to go over your foes you'll face in this mode:
- Normals. The cannon fodder of the horde with no special gimmicks.
- Lil' Shits. These are smaller versions of Normals, they also move faster to bite your ankles.
- Ogres. These big bois are slow, but can also be bullet sponges.
- Throwers. These fella's learned the power of throwing and will throw stuff at you.
- Boomers. These are Ogres who can blow themselves up either on death or if you get too close.
- Chillers. These are Throwers who throw ice. Getting smacked by one of their projectiles will give you icey feet, causing you to slide around.
- Stinkpots. These guys will explode into a stink cloud upon death.
- Force Fiends. These are Normals that have a Shield Bubble around them, making them able to block shots.
- Crappers. These are Ogres who haven't showered in weeks, resulting in them having a stink cloud around them. Even if they are killed, the stink cloud will remain for a bit.
- Spawners. Non-sentient stationary cubes that spawn more of the Horde. These only show up during Attack phases and give a reward if you destroy them.
Some of the horde are also much stronger compared to the rest. Some of these special threats include:
- Golden Orges. These are even stronger versions of Orges, having an absurdly high health pool.
- Mini Bosses. These are past bosses such as Cube Assassin or Cerberus.
- Caretaker. A long ass boi who can slam, fire a laser, and some telekinesis shit. Keep your distance and aim for his chest.
- Final Peel. The final boss of Horde Rush. He can fire skulls, shoot fire out of the ground, and try to slash you into pieces.
Taking out one of these guys will net you with some amazing loot.
Get a higher score then GGY.
Horde Rush comes with a side of a score.
As you open chests and kill monsters you will earn score. You can also get score multipliers via collecting Crystals.
You can see the leaderboard for Horde Rush post-game. The Leaderboard shows the scores of both you and your friends. So fight to see who can be number 1 on it!
F R E E S H I T
I know I know. You are most likely thinking to yourself "Dogman shut the fuck up and get to the free rewards", and to that I say "fine".
By completing 26 quests between Horde Rush, BR, and Reload, you can earn a free outfit and more rewards.
That's all for now! NOW START HAULING ASS THE HORDE IS COMING!

I noticed when dead that teammates had finite ammo. I may even have noticed to run out of it. Is that possible?

u/CollectionFragrant70 12d ago
I think it shows that way when spectating, just finished a round with my son and he still had unlimited ammo

I’ve only got to play a couple of rounds so far so I haven’t nailed down the perfect build. I recommend running a melee weapon on the non-boss rounds as they are highly effective at wiping the mobs. The dash augments appear to be very powerful. I combined the dash augment and dash reload (reloads your equipped weapon when you dash) with a lead splitter to wipe the Caretaker in less than 2 minutes. The storm appears to be moving INCREDIBLY fast on the travel rounds this year. I died to storm sickness in that run before I even made it to the final boss.

Honestly melee can demolish bosses too, I ran an all melee build with a bit of A-Train style sprinting just now and thrashed both caretaker and final peely in like a minute tops, got to 3 million before I got boomed by a dude with a pumpkin ied

u/Possible-Prior-5467 9d ago

u/cheezhead1252 9d ago
Oh I know. I have no problem now. You have be a dick about it or your teammates will eat them up lol. And they don’t matter much after the final round

u/Possible-Prior-5467 9d ago

u/xcptnl55 11d ago
It does not seem to kill the horde when you take out the spawners like it used to or when you collect the crystals.

The augments are cool, some a little annoying. I’ve blown myself up more times than I’d like to admit 😂
One augment drops boomsticks when I sprint but I didn’t have the augment that didn’t let explosives damage yourself 😅

u/Additional_Tie_291 11d ago
yeah that's an annoying perk. and the random rift generator. someone kept launching me into the storm with that.

Epic needs to remove zombies with big ass bubble shields, I feel like the zombies are way too buffed and players are nerfed into the ground
