Nine Branch Haunted Forest feels like I'm fighting RNG.

Just to be clear, I'm talking about the match made one, before anyone says "duh, get a fireteam" However, I can consistently get to branch 7, but beyond that, it just feels like the game is actively stopping me, but not in a good way. I can sit there and burn bosses in 5-20s, yet spend 3-4mins on ONE branch, because oops, game didn't give you any enemies to fight. Waste a full minute, waiting for goddamn doors to open every time, cos apparently you them 6-10 times every branch. This is on top of the other RNG, which is just terrible PvE players. I've done run when I've had 250+ kills yet the other people aren't even breaking 60. Meanwhile, I've had big sweat PvE players, and the RNG is just so bad, and feels like it's adjusting to you playing well (to extent the time people are playing the event....) and we just don't get ENEMIES to even fight. It just feels bad.

  • Worst RNG in Haunted Forest I think is the horrible matchmaking with those "FREE" low light player who honestly don't know what to do and basically doing nothing by wasting a player slot in the fireteam.

  • That's because you are fighting RNG. Teammates, modifiers, the annoying immune knight, and enemy spawns. Blackout needs to be removed from the game. It's not challenging, it's just annoying.

    • Yep, hope you get branches with a lot of Fanatics, Cursed Thrall, or Exploder Shanks.

    • What is the best strat to clear branches the fastest? I’ve never done the haunted forest before so any help on strategy would be great. I’m consistently clearing 6 and that’s all. My team and I run through the branches killing the adds but never seem to make it past 6. I see videos of people making it to 16 but can’t quite pinpoint the strat they are using.

      I usually get to the first boss. See my teammates shooting the boss with bows/auto rifles/pulses etc.... I set my controller down for a second... then go to orbit.

      Also: those times when your team is in a small-ish area and you can't revive downed teammates because the invincible terror can walk across the room and OHKO you before can revive a downed player, so both of you have to run alllllll the way back to that room. Or you have the Glass and Blackout modifiers together, always blows being insta-killed by a thrall coughing

    • I need to do some matchmaking for it, but recluse for add clears and deathbringer for boss fights has been amazing. WOL or shadowshot and deathbringer damn near one-shots a boss.

      • I got 9 on my second run of the season with randoms. 🤷‍♂️ I sympathize with your struggles though.

        I agree with you to a certain extent. It does come down to RNG or amount of adds per segment and what boss you get each time. On the other hand, if you spec yourself with add clearing and high DPS, it’s too difficult. Make sure to make use of the mask mods, the “Higher Purpose” literally makes you immune to ALL damage when in the air, you also do more damage while in the air, as well as generate more heavy ammo. Last night, I was able to get an 11 branch run with two randoms. You should aim for 1:15-1:30 ad clearing and 5-10 boss melt.

        • I got branch 9 last year with ransoms because I got lucky and they had two 1k voices. But yeah, I’d imagine a team of 1k’s and titan bubble/ well of radiance could shred bosses in under 2 seconds. The adds not spawning tho sucks. Haven’t had that happen to me but I wouldn’t want it to
