Did EPIC Test Insane Mode? Act3 chapter 2: WTF!

So last night me and three others, one of which is from this board (firefightCONNOR--a cool cat!), played quite a few chapters on insane Arcade. We were only mildly frustrated with some of the "cheap" deaths that befell us, but we all were enraged by the Lambent Beserker's seemingly endless life. This boss battle with 4 players took 1 hour! I believe that EPIC may not have properly tested this game mode. The idea of beating that boss with anything less than 4 players seems absolutely ridiculous, and even with 4 skilled gamers it will likely test your will to endure. In the end ~ 12am we beat this epic boss battle, but I did not feel the reward of satisfaction that comes from success subsequent to many failures, instead I only felt relieved that it was done, and that I would not ever have to do this again!


PS: Thanks Connor for the support!

Not looking forward to that battle on my insane run....not at all....

I know which part you mean I'm not looking forward to that part either, took long enough on normal I can imagine the amount of times you will die trying to beat it lol

Yeah, I was with Mike NFCT, and that was ridiculous. "My night out with a lambent bezerker" was a nightmare. It would take at least 30 minutes without dying to kill it, throw in some deaths, and it becomes near impossible.

Sounds intense, I love intense.

If you really cant do it i would recomend using the super active reload mutator if your really stuck i no its cheating but it is alot faster

Do you still get an achievement and a medal for beating it on insane with mutators?

Just to be safe I did not add mutators, but it seems like it should work, huh?

Yeah and the Gunkers aint a walk in the part either!!!

Insta gib melee. Problem solved!
You just gotta GTFO ASAP

Took me forever! and wait for the final battle

I and my brother did it in less than 5 Minutes. Infinite Ammo and Super Reload really help when you lead it in a large path which ends with a wall as you can own it with Super Reload as it charges you there.

you should do it with out the mutators lol

I managed to do this rather easily solo on hardcore, but i guess with the added fact that you cant get DBNO on insane and the zerker has much more health on insane its probably a giant step up on difficulty from the hardcore setting.

Yeah, i played though hardcore first time and saw no problems but insane steps it up and makes it stupid !

Insane mode= Annoying as hell, I want to snap my controller and my disk.

I finally beat insane mode, It was freakin impossible. does epic want people to complete it?

Put the Comet mutator on, it charges you and you charge right back
I don't even know if this would even work lol

how to unlock comet?

Earn the Gold Shock Trooper medal by getting 1,000 First Blood ribbons, IRC

Damn, never gonna get that anytime sooon

Insta-gib melee doesn't work against Lambent Berserker.. The regular Berserker, yes.

Insta-gib works against the Lambent Berserker if you retro charge it

Really?
