The Best Strategy for Big Baller Solo!

Although I got Big Baller on the day of release with a team of four, my brother asked me to try and get him the PS3 trophy for it.

I tried Morris's strategy and I found it very annoying with the Ray Gun with my personal best of 60k at round 27. These videos are done by the guy who was top of the PS3 leaderboards legit, with level 1000. Pretty Impressive, so if you do this until maybe level 35 you should get the achievement.

Here is the full strategy:









I recommend watching all the parts as he shows you tactics for different scenarios, such as running out of ammo or the dogs not dropping max ammo.

Enjoy!

The other strategy worked out fine for me. This is interesting, but I don't like how reliant it is on the Wonderwaffle.

Yea that is one downside of this one, but the other is very much reliant on the ray gun.

Ammo shouldn't be an issue because worst case scenario is that you get dogs every 4 rounds MAX, say taking 3 shots for the zombies MAX which is 12 rounds of wunderwaffe, you start with 18 so you now have 6 rounds to kill the dogs.

I think a good point to use with this strategy would be to also get a Ray Gun to replace the Thompson but I really find using the Wunderwaffe easy.

I didn't have trouble doing the other version without the Ray-Gun; the PPSh worked until I got my achievement. For part of my run, I had the Wonderwaffle, and it didn't give me max ammo from dogs.

I used the PPSh also but found that I ran out of ammo too fast and had to switch.

UPDATE:

I managed to get to round 35 with this strategy and messed up at one of the doorways.

I started again but instead of killing the zombies the way in the video, I used the Thompson for zombies doing the Comm Room laps and used the Wunderwaffe dog strategy as shown in the video. I got 77000 for my brother and the trophy at round 27. I found it a lot easier than using the Ray Gun. Plus ammo is never an issue.

In my opinion this is the best method to use, it's very easy. I tried the Morris method and only lasted up to round 15, I used this method and on my first try I got the Big Baller achievement at round 38. Each round goes by so fast using this method and you will have it in no time, thanks for the find helped me a lot.

I agree the shown dog strategy is simple, I have yet to die on dogs. The ray gun always messes me up. I just keep buying Thompsons, you get mega points and there is no chance of killing yourself.

I tried this again and got to round 100 then I killed myself, you could go on forever. I had over 200,000 points, nearly 2000 kills, all you need is the wunderwaffe, juggernaught and speed, both times I have been lucky enough to get them in fishing hut and storage. I also bought the ray gun at about round 80 (It is useless).

Nice strategy, but if you're using this to get high on the leaderboards, you should buy a Trench Gun instead of the Thompson. Shot guns always kill dogs in one hit, no matter what round.

yeah im wondering the same, ive watched the videos several times it seems thats all he's doing. it does skip from round about 10 or 12 to like 26 so the rounds im stuck at arent shown.

i wish it was better chances to get speed and juggernog, i always seem to get double tap and quick revive. who the hell am i reviving in solo anyway

Brilliant Strategy. Took me a few tries (I kept getting 73,000 or so, then the dogs didn't drop ammo). But when they did, I easily got to round 45 with 111,000 points before getting bored and killing myself. I highly recommend using this.

This method is BY FAR the best one out there. The very first time I tried this (and only time so far) method I got the waffle gun on my first box attempt, got jugger nog and speedy reload or whatever for the 1st 2 perks and i was on a roll.

I got the 150 headshot achievement easily by round 14 or so, and was just getting into the groove of luring zombies and waffling the crap out of them. I just made a stupid mistake and let one get behind me somehow when I had the thompson out, it was around level 22 or so and I couldn't kill them and died. Had 42,000 points or so. I could and will very easily get this with just a bit of practice. Only gonna try it once per day though as it takes so dang long.

edit: 2nd attempt - I got jugger nog and speed cola and waffle gun early again. Got to level 47 or 48, had 73,280 points - died in a GAY way, could have EASILY waffled 2 groups and busted that achievement.

will definitely get it tomorrow.

Anyone struggling with strategy, I recommend using a mixture of both strategies, after round 9 and you have all the perks hopefully with comm room closed, for the zombies use the comm room laps with the Thompson (no ammo issues) then when its a dog round run to the fishing hut area and use your wunderwaffe on them like in the video.

Just wanna say MAJOR PROPS on this thread cos it helped me get the achievement, pretty comfortably!

It unlocked on round 30 and I managed to keep going until Round 47 where I got stuck on one of the doors.

Thanks x
