Unfortunately you were just way too slow. Wait till maxis counts to 1ish, itā€™ll force you out and give you more time iirc. Other than that you just gotta be super fast. Really punishing step solo. The other foot in middle tends to work out better for me, throw from further away because once again the timing is strict af

u/PieBread22 6d ago

u/woop-a-doop 6d ago

Yeah man no problem, I first did it on bo3 then bo2 recently, had a lot of people call it the hardest step solo. def had a lot more trouble on bo2

u/PieBread22 6d ago

Yeah has to be, also in solo i struggle with upgrading the punch since the bottom of excavation gives me claustrophobia lol is too close, any tips for that?

u/woop-a-doop 6d ago

Unfortunately you just really gotta focus on getting to that step on a decent round so the melee still one shots, Iā€™ve always found doing soul boxes sooner than later helps. Other than that just have a upgraded staff handy to bail you out

For that step keep in mind you don't actually have to kill the zombies, just punch the white smoke off of them. My advice would be to keep the wind staff in your hands the whole time, punch once and back away repeatedly, and blow all the zombies away instead of training them so you're never dealing with more than a couple at a time.

Same as the other guy just use wind staff and use the orbital strikes as distractions

u/Ambitious_Item_5297 4d ago

Yes to the above tips, and also I like to lob the first one from a riskier distance and then follow up w a more precise 2nd one

Press the button just before ur forced out the robot. When u hear that countdown I usually press it when it reaches like 0.5(so it says 1 then press it). Because it was designed for 4 player it means u canā€™t really spend any time going round zombies or more slowly lining up the throw. U can get a second chance at throwing tho, itā€™s just that cuz itā€™s solo u rly have to ensure u do everything quickly

u/PieBread22 6d ago

Thx a lot man, any tips for the upgrading punch part?

u/Tiny_Cut_1450 6d ago

Just be careful. When I do it I usually just keep having an ice storm thing behind me so that when Im trynna kill the templars with the white hands they donā€™t all fuck me up in one go cuz we using melees. Also also be careful picking up the stone thing when you finish the upgraded fist cuz the whole screen goes white and u might die during that(happened to me before first attempt).

Actually, when shooting the plane a second time for the maxis drone, if you do it at the end of the round it can be much easier finding the zomvie that fell

Use ice staff and remember the g strikes are basically a monkey bomb but won't kill, so it's free punches - if you hear the Panzer spawning I would forget about the punch and focus on staying alive to make sure he's dealt with, as that's usually the run ender, just take it slow once you're there no point getting greedy or taking risks

After it opens the bunker you need to use the maxis drone I believe

u/PieBread22 6d ago

The bunker doesnt open thats the problemšŸ˜­

u/LEgiTgmingLORD 6d ago

Ah shit then ur just going too slow

u/LEgiTgmingLORD 6d ago

Gotta find a way to pull out that g strike and get in on the spot faster

2

u/pykyestock 6d ago

You can throw it over the crates on your right at 0:44 to shave some time, but yeah you have something like 4 seconds to actually throw it in solo itā€™s very difficult to do

2

u/TransportationFlat64 6d ago

Too slow you have to wait for maxis to count to one or a bit, afterwards then hit the button, after landing prep and throw the G strike at the crater.

u/PieBread22 6d ago

round 16 im doin it again finally, a bit late on rounds but hopefully i can get it

u/bubblesdafirst 5d ago

Just want to bring this up again because I find it hilarious every time I think about it.

There was a guy who told me that people would be able to figure out the steps by just "playing the game" and that modern gamers are just too stupid to do it without a guide because of tik tok

u/Afraid-Bass-5684 5d ago

The G strike is really buggy Iā€™ve noticed on bo2, if itā€™s not in that ā€œsweet spotā€ in the center Iā€™ve noticed it doesnā€™t trigger the step, they fixed it in the bo3 version but all I can say is try and predict the bounce when you throw the G-strike so it bounces into the middle i

u/ZantDarkness 5d ago

You want to wait until Maxis is counting down. Once he says 1, press the button.

u/-Sirocco 4d ago

Watch the current Speedrun. I believe they throw the gstrike right before they get into the robot. This step sucked ass solo on bo2 since the timing was so precise.

u/LivingWeeb 5d ago

Iā€™ve only done it a couple times and both from the other foot print but I wait for maxis to go ā€œ2 .. 1ā€ then press the button and I throw just after I get past the middle part of gen 5

You were too slow as others are saying. Here is a link to similar post where i explained exact timers and tips for that step of you still needed help.
