I'm getting so freakin' tired of trying to beat this part! It's where you get on the Mine Carts in Act 3. I can't kill the exploding wretches without them killing me. Either I kill them and my freakin mine cart runs over them, they explode and I die, or they land on me and explode. I've tried everything, shotgun, chainsaw gun and magnum and all of them had extra damage because I reloaded on the white bar. NOTHING WORKS!

First of all, if the cart runs over them... you don't take damage. They are falling in your cart.

Now that we've cleared that up, pick a cart and stick with it. Don't go first cart, die, second cart, die, first card, die. Picking one cart, you grow used to the pattern and both sides have different patterns. Use the lancer. Shoot at their legs the moment they come through.

If you're first cart, kill two, reload, kill two more.

If you're second cart, kill one, reload, kill two, reload, kill one.

They always come from the same sides at the same time. If you're not killing them fast enough, you're not shooting properly and you need to practice that. You should NEVER have two wrentches moving towards you at once, one should always be dead before the other appears.

As someone who has beaten the level (this excludes you obviously), I know a bit more than you on this topic... that's why it is you asking for help.

But hey, I bet your still scathing from the General 360 forum, and that's okay.

They fall in your cart and kill you.

After reading many of your posts, it seems as though you think you know a bit more than everyone on every topic.

Just a general observation.

Yeah, this is definitely a tough part on insane. Me and a buddy did it, and we both agreed the first cart is easier. If you have the sniper rifle, it's a one hit kill and we had success with that.

And yes, you can die even when your cart runs over the wretches.

It's a lot easier once you get past the first part. Try to remember the patterns and aim before they come into your view.

I've also beaten the game on Insane.

The wretches only spawn in front of you. Just keep your gun aimed up and blast away. If you're good at active reloads, do one after every kill. They're not to strong and go down pretty easily.

You don't need the sniper rifle. But if you're having trouble with the Lancer, the Boltock Pistol (the magnum-looking thing) works fine too.

Tried the magnum already.

I was doing this part with Hybrid on Hardcore and yeah it can be a bitch at times. Wretches are arguably the most annoying enemies in the game and yes I admit that they exploding ones bring even more joy to the game.

The best stratedgy which I find quite good to use is to keep an eye on the celings with the shotgun equipped, a few shots and they should fall, if you can squeeze in an active reload then do so.

I have had some close encounters with exploding Wretches falling in my cart and it is very annoying. I suppose a good way to stop them getting that close is to have a perfect active reload on your Lancer so that you can take them down in a few hits.

Magnum + Headshot = Instant Explode.

Stand up and aim at the roof before the Wretches appear - then you are ready to take them down. Just fire at them and they should drop off soon.

Thing is, just keep at it and eventually you will have passed this part.

dude wat weapon are u useing ..... use the hammerburst or lancer....the wretches run along the pipe just aim at the pipes the wwhol time kill them b4 they even get near you its simple
