Mount Steep Battle Chest 4 (SOLO) Video Tutorials
THE CHALLENGE: Mount Steep Battle Chest 4 is Team Vanquish. Playing as a Plant, you're outnumbered by Zombies 2 to 1. Furthermore, your only AI teammates are Sunflower, Chomper, and Cactus.
PREFACE: Before attacking this challenge, it's important to know your opponents/allies strengths/weaknesses. Additionally, consider how heavily outnumbered you'll be, you should try to attack from afar/from the outside looking in - so to say (this doesn't always work). Zombies are comprised of 80's Action Hero and All Star, Scientist, Imp, Super Brainz, Pirate, Engineer, and Soldier. Considering the fire power (in the game's current state), the whatasized Zombie team, and never-miss AI, you'll also want to team up with Sunflower as often as possible. If you can't find Sunflower, try to roll with Chomper and attack together/revive when he runs off like a puppy head-on into traffic.
The first video is Peashooter and you'll quickly notice the gatling is key to Peashooter's victory here. Much like playing this challenge with Citron's beam, try to use the Peashooter's gatling to disrupt groups of Zombies rather than 1 v 1 situations. It's a bit risky to take on groups of enemies but disrupting the grouping seems to be key here; kill 2 or 3 Zombies instead of 1, if you have the choice (even if you die more often) and the opposition won't be able to revive themselves so easily... REVIVE your teammates any chance you get/almost at all costs... and the risks will eventually pay off (you'll eventually keep the enemy groups down/unreviveable and will pull comebacks with your own revived teammates that will sway the momentum of the opposition).
Gatling, gatling, gatling:
As soon as the Citron video finishes uploading, I'll embed it and try to explain the strategy as well.
Woot! Woot! I have finally beat the zombies in this Outnumbered challenge. splash_damage, I have tried too many times but after reading your tips and watching your peashooter and citron videos, I got the win after only a handful more tries with my peashooter. Rather than trying to chase them down, I hung out with my ai pals and waited for the zombies to wander toward us. It truly did seem like the more gatling vanquishes I got without being vanquished myself, then my ai pals played a bit better too. Thank you so much for helping here. I don’t think I’ll try again any time soon but kudos to you for getting it right with so many characters. Again your tips and videos are much appreciated. - BabciaRosie
