Survival in the Boneyard

[The Spook]

Been there since rank 15 and i'm over 120 now. I like the Railyard and the Del Pierro Pier, but the Boneyard has to be my favorite, and no it isn't because of that shed (My main spot is behind the block nearby the shed.) I can survive in that warehouse, I can survive in the back where the planes are, I can even go get in that bus right next to where the hillbillies spawn and survive in there. But that isn't to say I won't go behind the shed at all...

 

It's also because i've made more friends there than I ever have or ever will in Freemode or doing jobs. But at the same time, trolls will be trolls and there's several people you have to watch out for.

 

Spot Whores: Some people cannot survive anywhere without their favorite spot (usually behind the shed on the nearside.) If you get there first they will harass you until you move, and some will jump the wall and get behind you to push you out of your cover. If both spots behind the shed are taken they usually go get behind the block, even if someone else is there, (Me, usually) which is annoying, because 2 people can't stand behind the block without getting knocked out of cover. Most of the time instead of fighting with them over it, I give them the spot, and they get killed anyway. Yet there are those who respect your space and stand on the left side.

 

Squatters: These people hide on the far side of the shed, or behind the wall behind the shed, or somewhere else on the map where the hillbillies cannot get to them and the helicopters usually ignore them, and let you do all the work.

 

Suiciders: Similar to squatters, except they either just stand there and get killed, or run purposely into the hillbilles and die. They may play a few waves with you, but when they see you doing good and holding your own is when they either put the controller down, or start kamikaze running into the rednecks.

 

Rambo: These people never take cover and go toe-to-toe with the hillbillies. I've only seen like 2 people actually stay out there with no cover and survive all the way to wave 10, when the enemy's accuracy is like 100%, but most of them get killed and leave the game.

 

Trolls: I shouldn't even have to explain. Idiots who harass you (especially if you're a female like myself) and will do their best to push you out of cover and get you killed, then die themselves just so everyone fails. Usually a mix of Rambo and a Spot Whore who stand in front of you doing the Jerk action (Keep your sexlife to yourself please.) After so many times getting killed trying to kill you, they leave. Some even climb up onto that building next to the bus where the hillbilles spawn and get kicked out.

 

 

This isn't a complaint thread, don't get me wrong. Survival is a good way to get RP and money if you have the time and the patience to do it over and over. It's also a way to make friends with people without having to sift through the endless amounts of gun toting psychopaths in Freemode. This is just to let people know who to look out for.

i hate when you run out of cover at the end of the round to gather some sh*t and someone takes you're spot.

 

You wont realise until the round is begining and then you're stuck out in the open.

[TheNarrative]

Boneyard is easy. Most of the time I stay in the skip just across from the shed. Can easily take out SUVs from there and choppers aren't a big issue either

[D_Marco]

Did someone say troll!?

 

[SpidersWeb]

That's what I do as well. I usually assume at least two other players will take the shed, so it's off to the skip with me.

[Is this The Guy?]

Im just always the first to the shed and never ever move lol.

 

I survived behind that skips by the shed and in the warehouse as well.

This sh*t pisses me off so much. Get some armour, while you're there find another place to hide too.

 

 

I can't see the problem with finding a good spot to hide and shooting when you're in a good position.

 

The railway is my favourite, having trouble getting past 4-5 on Industrial but.

Incompetent assholes make it hard.

[Is this The Guy?]

Industrial you can pass solo. On the other side of the containers is a blue garbage bin you can get in. Your back is protected by a container so they will mostly come from the front. I jump into one of the empty higher containers in the waves with choppers. Actually easier solo because of the spawn points.

Will have to have a look, i usually hide in a bin near the entrance but there's no container behind me.

 

I'm beginning to think that doing missions and survivals are easier without others there, too many distractions and wasted lives, plus you get it done without them f*cking up.

I dislike those dicks. Nudge them into the open when the heli comes round

[Dasrouse]

I am a firm believer of first come first serve when it comes to the trailers. If they get to it first, no big deal. I will hide by the dumpster across the dirt road from the shed and keep an eye on my back in case the guy on the other side of the trailer fails to kill any of the methheads. When the Choppers show up, I jump into on of the red empty containers behind me and do what I can do. I usually prefer just 2 of us there but I'll just adapt if more come. I was showing a rank 9 guy what to do there when he screwed me on the last wave. I had saved up all my minigun ammo for this wave and tried using the right hand advantage on that side of the trailer. I even told him what I was doing and he pushed me out and I died instantly, complete buddyf*ck on his part. Yeah, I was done helping him afterwards.

I think the best way to beat this survival 100% of the time is with only 2 ppl behind that shed TBH. Anyways, you forgot to mention

 

* the interior of the large plane behind the wall. Provides effective cover from chopper and enemy AI which are usually focused on the other side of the wall.

 

* that spot right next to the 2 vending machines inside the warehouse. It's a great cover from choppers. You can take out all the hillbillies that enter from either side if you're fast enough with an MG or carbine. And especially if you strategically sticky bomb any vehicles they park there from previous wave. Wait until they drive in more vehicles in the current wave and begin cluster f*cking that area. Then press the dpad key and send them to Hillbilly Heaven. Survived to lvl 9 from that one spot going solo.

 

On these:

 

 

Spot Whores: I admit to being guilty of this from time to time. But only after I realize just how much the ppl I'm playing with suck----even with auto aim FFS. Or if they're too low level to bring anything but a pistol or broken bottle to the gunfight. And whenever that happens, and that I'm-going-to-be-f*cked-before-wave-5 realization moment hits, that's when my char grows roots behind that shed so he can collect his hard earned $20k paycheck....

 

Squatters & Suiciders: I typically try to kick these leechers out the game if I'm hosting the session. If we're getting close to wave 7 but they've been pissing me off, or caused my char to take unnecessary damage covering for their asses, and I've got ammo to spare, then I've been known to resort to fratricide.....

 

Rambo: These players come in 2 flavors:

 

- Type I aka the original gangstas. These are the real bad ass, lvl 70+ mofo's with high K/D, mad shooting skills, and are armed to the teeth from cleaning out Ammunation stock. On the good side: these are the best ppl to have in the mission because they usually succeed in killing everything in sight (including 2-3 choppers without taking cover). On the bad side: they're so good that they cause your kill stat to tank. So you end up averaging than 5-6 kills per wave.

 

- Type II: aka the Village Idiots. I usually LOL at these because they're typically the low level n00bs, or FM loving griefers with high K/D who've never been in a fair gun fight in FM. They typically don't have a facking clue why they need to take cover. Until that 1st chopper shows up and they once again prove to mankind why they'll end up winning the Darwin Award every single time.....

Trolls: don't suffer these fools at all. I usually make it a personal mission to waste the ammo putting these Village Idiots out of their misery before wave 3 hits. Then kick them out the game if the server permits.

 

Nice post. I'd like to see more strategies for other survivals and especially the pier beach one. Got as high as level 9 on that one with some great ppl before getting capped by 2 choppers in the final wave. Next to the lumber mill, that survival is probably the hardest to beat because of the lack of chopper cover. Really only one place on the pier that offers any real protection. With the lumber yard, lots of hiding places. But ppl typically get too spread out to be effective.

i used to stay on the rooftop untill rockstar removed that area now i hide in the large shed, but i do get annoyed when you hide in a garbage bin with someone else and they standup forcing you to stand as well.

and that can happen on any map.

 

[Mart1001]

Yea, my favorite spot in Boneyard is behind the block too, I often like to solo from there and normally always reach wave 10 if I don't complete it. It's usually available as most use the portacabin which is where I normally go if the block isn't available. If both the block and both sides of the cabin are in use, then I just tend to use the hanger and generally go rambo as the OP puts it and run for my fav spots as the others die.

 

Personally, I prefer to only use 2 players. I host a survival and immediately close matchmaking and then invite one friend. That way, it's less likely you'll get a pannicking newbie jump in your spot and aslong as you work in the same general area, spawning enemy is controllable. On saying that, joining a lobby of randoms will spice the flavour and I'll have an entirely different game to what I'm used to which, can only be a good thing.

Oh cool, you're a girl?

What prize are you expecting?

Really? Come on man, it's not like she made a big deal about it so just ease off.

Nobody ever goes to my favorite spot so I guess I'm lucky. Boneyard is easy.

[SmokeDat]

If you get to a good spot or think you own a spot, you better be able to f*cking hold your own AND have your mates backs. However, you f*ck me over while in that spot and I will push you the f*ck out, should we survive to the next round regardless of your lack of stupidity.

 

I'm usually joining random survivals so I see all the types posted. It's a damn crap shoot.

 

Also learn a weapon and get good with it. I hate f*ckers that are always switching weapons and are equally terrible with all of them.

The $20k when it's over, that's about it.

[Ayylien]

I love the Boneyard it's pretty much a guarantee for 20k and a ton of RP. I have my own spot too, which I've NEVER seen anybody else go to.

[PkUnzipper]

AFAIK the order of a guaranteed $60k paycheck in 45 mins or so playing the game is:

 

1. Railroad (easiest)

 

2. Boneyard (2nd easiest)

 

3. Burrito Heights (ties with #2 depending on where you take cover)

 

The hardest 2 are:

 

1. Beach Pier (the hardest to date)

 

2. Lumber Mill (drops to 2nd hardest with the recent DLC)

[Jack Reacher]

Guess il update my guide for those that don't know what to do if the spots by the container are taken.

[WinterEdit]

I think it tells something about my skills because the only Survival I have ever fully completed was the one with the corrupt cops. I don't remember the name of the survival though.

[marco-polo]

"She" didn't need to bring her gender into this or her sex life. Verdict: another girl on the Internet seeking attention. Maybe she's out of tampons haha. I make account to post this so funny and true!

 

 

"Her" threads will probably be far more interesting than your sh*t. Waiting for the gay porn from your accounts.

 

And that picture wasn't funny.

For Boneyard I like to use the shed across from the plane wreckage. The one where you used to be able to camp the roof? You can clean up all the spawns on that half of the map if both the 2 man shed and block are taken. Sometimes you get the occasional chump climbing the wall behind you, but otherwise its not a bad spot.

Yeah not noose my bad, got them Mixed up lol

[Sangers]

Boneyard is by far the easiest.

 

I find Industrial the hardest and have only been able to do it with a partner. I will try that one-sided container sometime. I always see people die in there as there's not much angle to shoot out. But I guess with enough snacks, you can out last the waves in those positions. It just takes forever for all the NPCs to find you.
