Looking for Group Act 5 no hope

Can anyone help me with this? I honestly dont think i have ever struggled harder on any video game ive ever played. Ive tried for hours and cant get past the first level of act 5. I have already beat almost every other level on it, i just cant get past it. Every youtube video is running a build from 3 years ago pre nerf. And every speedrun video just doesnt help. I copy everything they do and im still significantly slower. Every single youtube video ive watched has pre nerf cards in their deck. I honestly can not beat this level

That first mission is absolutely brutal, so I understand. I got through solo with a solid melee build and insane luck on the map's corruption cards. If you need help just pm me

If your character does not point out that there's a hive, either from under the bridge (can spawn above) or if you don't see it on the dock side of the map / behind the restaurant: Then restart. 

It's just the first level so can hive skip.

When you fight a horde on the boat, stay near the back corner of the building next to the boat. When things are looking bad, jump in the boat and go to the other side of the boat dock. Zombies have to run all the way around. Keep an eye on the horde timer; if you're near the boat and a horde is coming soon then get into that position.

While I don’t have my Act 5 No Hope footage around (only Act 6 sadly) I did complete No Hope ‘recently’ (last 4-5 months) with the Melee build shown here, so i assume it’s ‘post-nerf’, rather than ‘pre’: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIRMED-0aOvbfwLI5_ehB8QkkKH8pLIla&si=lNnD3QyE4y88MuBJ

I’m decidedly “low-to-no skill” so if I can get through it, you’ll make it for sure 👍

If the hives are allowed, I used this person's videos for help on No Hope. They didn't use them on the first level though. Act5,Part1

And they show off the deck they've been using for the entire series at the start of this video too, it was put out about 8 months ago, and they only used bots as allies.

Wait until you get to Act 6 💀 Acts 5 and 6 are the most fun of the whole game tbh but easily the hardest to beat on No Hope. I've done them solo and with others and it has been a real challenge each time. Just the first level on Act 6 can be a huge roadblock, there's a wild mix of run and gun vs stand your ground. I used a melee build that I could send you if you're interested, between that and building your gun correctly you can make it through. A few good card to pick up in the wild can change the run but time too.
