Guys with hordebreakers take care of business and ferals… usually.
I’m telling you not to and that they are worse than useless. You can do it with two guys with shotguns, I’ve done it. Try to put it alittle to the side so it remains in the area of effect. It will place it off your target and potentially miss entirely. WARNING: Do not try to put one directly underneath a horde or jug. If you don’t have this try using a minefield or, at worst, a remote explosive. You need this for wave 5 for the two blood jugs because you need them dead fast so you can kill the hordes coming in. Anything in its area of effect dies, pure and simple. This is the most powerful item in the game. Thats where the knife animation comes in handy for armoured zeds. Thats the CLEO shotgun, it will kill most enemies other than the jug in one shot and floor anything it doesn’t. You are facing an army and you need a weapon with spread, power, knockback and good ammo consumption. Some people think the CLEO blast rifle is the best weapon, its ok but not optimal for daybreak. You should never use it as you can dodge behind them and stab them in the back with a knife or floor them with a shot and stab them in the face which is a far quicker animation than the melee one. The melee weapon consumes three things carry weight, stamina and time.
