Manning National Zoo WTF?! | Forums

Thanks for the advice guys, it really helped. I just cant remember the boss being immune for that long when i took the mission on Challenge before! Must have been changed in an update?! Anyway thanks again for the help!

Manning National Zoo has to be bugged. I have done this mission on Challenge before with less armor and health than i have now. But now i have tried the mission on Hard 5 times and i get literally slaughtered in the crocodile pit. I have 300k+ armor and almost 100k health and i get killed within 2-3 shots as soon as the door opens and the enemies jump in. And on top of that the boss doesn't take damage at all! WTF?! I mean Hard should be easy as hell, and this is some Heroic insanity bs!

As someone mentioned there's no point in trying to shoot the heavy with the sledgehammer until he reached the island as he's immune until then. Since I play on solo I have to try and find ways to turn the odds in my favor and in that area, on challenging I draw them back into the area just before you enter the actual crocodile habitat. That way I can take them out as they enter the doorway. Otherwise, it's extremely difficult to stay in the crocodile pit and fight everyone.

I had this issue too, nothing worked on breaking down the armor on the boss, that is until I turned the drone loose equipped with the hollow point bullet mod. I had the drone focus on the boss and much to my surprise, the drone started stripping away the armor, I then turned loose with my M60 starting with explosive rounds. Between the drone and the M60 (even after the thirty explosive rounds) the boss went down quickly. For some reason, the drone does a good job stripping the armor off of any boss just on it's own.

lol, i suspect that with the Skill changes there have been an 'undocumented'... i mean unintended AI buff, Ive noticed AI TTK seems a bit longer ?
Also noticed a lot of AI dmg inflicted on us no bypasses Armour and strips health of you ie War dogs snipers etc ?

Scenario is very odd, I've never encountered this on my 20th run.

You could also run back outside the crocodile pit to where the ammo crate are when the sequence starts. You should be able to take down all enimies from there without even entering the pit.

I've run it a few times now and have not felt that the croc pit was any different, might be something deeper in your gear stats that could possibly cause a bug of some sort RulleLoneWolf

Those sprinty michelin men are just lazy design, spongy damage move way too fast for how they're geared and hit like trucks.

First time I ran the zoo I saw the crocs through the window and on seeing the water was expecting to leave with a new pair of shoes, moreso when I saw the echo.

But no, we got a very generic circular arena with mobs from all sides including overuse of the explodey runners and a lazy sponge boss.

Wouldn't be surprised if a little tweaking is being done from time to time.

I think the Camp white Oak mission is a way better mission, in fact I wish it had been the long one rather than the zoo.
