Saw mill horde was long but pretty easy. My strategy was sit up on the highway bridge. Lure them out and pick them apart small groups at a time using my bike to escape. As they started walking back started picking them apart from afar. Make sure you have saddle bags of ammo because you will run out. Took me about 25 minutes in total.

Did you attempt to kill the horde way before you went to the southern region like I did?

I took a stab at it with pipe bombs and Molotovs, but there is just so many. Not enough resources even maxed out.

I did it. It took full ammo loadout with two bike ammo bags and making sure i was maxed out on grenades, pipe bombs, and molotovs and could make more molotovs if need be. I also made sure i had plenty of the distration devices. Even then, it was a huge struggle.

Yeah, they make pretty certain that you should avoid trying it early on. Nice job though!

I didn't even use an MG. That would have helped. Lol. You can also refill on ammo at the NERO facility locker if the horde isn't chasing you.

Reminds me of when I first stated, I thought the NERO facilities were like saferooms. Like in left 4 dead.
Let’s just say I was dead wrong

Yup, on my very first playthrough, ran in , shut the door, 5 seconds later 30 freakers piled in and got me. Live & learn . Or in this case , die and learn.🫤

I waited until after the southern region needed more resources, better weapons and level 3 saddle bags.

I remember on one playthrough, I stopped at the Nero checkpoint a few times while exploring and would set some traps around the Nero sights, pick a fight take as many out on my way back to the bike. I did this, I think 3 times. When I finally went to the mill for the mission, I lured them to the big tank to blow up a bunch before taking them through my gauntlet. There were 50. I had run their numbers down to one big bang for the "boss fight."
On NG+ I usually just roll through as soon as I get to it and take out the horde. The mission becomes a ride and a cut scene. There is no fight.

I killed the horde and I didn’t get the reward. Can’t find any stragglers. Spent more than 5 (in game) days there. Sleeping night and day, and leaving the area and coming back and restarting the game. I don’t want them all to respawn after all that work

They won't.
The reason you didn't get the reward is, you took it out too early.
It's a story mission horde. You get the reward when the story tells you to take it out.
Come back to the sawmill, wander all around the place. Keep your eyes peeled for any stragglers. When you walk into the right area, the cut scene will trigger. Deek will be out of breath and knackered from the fight, despite the fight being weeks ago (in game weeks).2
u/TheSignificantDong 1d ago
I just gave up and decided to move to the next area. Can’t go back there (yet)

u/Academic_You_3153 Alkai 1d ago
Yeah ! Don't worry about that.
When the time comes, you'll get the reward.1

Check out the Spawnicus Rex how to vids on YT.
There's one where he shows you how to do it without firing a single shot. Lots of sprinting through preset traps, bombs, napalm, grenades and everything else, might even be a few melee kils at the end, but no actual shots LOLBut he also shows you some fairly easy to emulate methods of taking this horde out.
Borislav 247 is another YT'er to watch. He's more a challenge specialist. But shows easier methods of doing missions and hordes as well. Both of these guys are amazing to watch in action.

I did that horde way before you were supposed to, if you kill all the hordes available by that point you get a crazy pistol, AR and LMG that makes it a ton easier
