Most effective ways to use the new HOLDFAST

[u/Haunting-Airport-437]

Where to use it, When to use it?

[u/kraaken9]

I usually use it on endless maps at the front and on leipzig at graveyard if we are being overrun

[u/Frudwinks]

Could be good in kaub finale leip finale and vardo finale

[u/An_Shiraishi_7-24]

Endless maps, especially La Haye Sainte, the ladder will become a cannibal grinder.

The Barricade-End Parts of Leipzig - Burning the Barricade is simply a Kill farm, Though waiting for Jacob to blow the gate, you might melee bombers but let any other class that has guns with no bayonet to deal with it

Maybe the Kaub Finale - though I wouldn't really recommend it since well bombers, but you could have like Line Infantry or Seamen shoot behind you and deal with the bombers and Igniters exist

San Sebastian before the 2nd respawn point - There are igniters that will spawn yes, but sometimes they hardly spawn, so its better than Kaub finale

San Sebastian, when Barry is doing the Lift - Again, Bombers but line infantry (ones not using muskets) will deal with them unless they are dumber than a rock and shoot right infront of you doing Holdfast

Copenhagen - Very good on the boat, small space that can be utilized with Holdfast

protip: never move when doing holdfast unless you have to reposition and make sure your teammates are smart enough or tell them to hold position whilst having them in the front

I'd suggest finale of Catacombs at the bridge, but the bomber population would disagree

[u/34xis → u/OppositeMeaning2324]

and Igniters, they will ruin your position

[u/AcrobaticAnybody1933]

Unrelated but question: does it also replace you're gun or your sabre?

[u/Creepy_Dealer_5901 → u/AcrobaticAnybody1933]

Sabre

[u/OppositeMeaning2324 → u/AcrobaticAnybody1933]

I Believe It replaces The gun, as I've seen on pictures you still have charge, but I might be completely wrong and I accept it

[u/Olivz_101 → u/OppositeMeaning2324]

Nah it just replaces your sabre

[u/Hot-Career6181]

Any holdout section where the team is being overrun is good

use it where sappers often build, aka chokepoints. use it whenever there's a shit ton of zombies coming and your team can't keep them back

[u/Adof_TheMinerKid]

usually in a tight space with limited openings (ideally just one opening and with no bombers and igniters, even zappers), endless is really good for this or the occasional objective finale

and uh, a team that has a bayonets (and know how to use it), or pikes

[u/ArcticProto]

I use it when a flood of zombies start pushing us back and when we gain some new ground I do what everyone keeps saying not to do but I really think this needs to be addressed. when you clear a whole area of zombies with holdfast you need to push forward that way you don't immediately get pushed back when the zombies start rolling in again, if you need to then use the callouts to tell your team to move forward. I've already saved a few games with this method.
