I will upload a video tomorrow. I'm picking up both nades and hypos there, so be sure to check this thread again.
The highest possible combo is 11 in round 18. And yea, if you combo the dynamite robots they will destroy everything and you will lose a lot of points since you can't get combos on the other robots. You should always destroy that robots at first.
ok. Thank you

Quality post. Nice job guys!
This inspired me and some friends to play "all 4 crystal" as well.
If I may add a little piece of advice:
No need to hold on to the same 2 on robots - 2 on zombies split for the entire game.
Boss round goes much faster if you have all about the same amount of points, instead of waiting for just 2 of you to kill the boss. -

The 2 on charge of robots usually only need 1 or 2k points, if we're a little behind we switch with someone on the last rounds (in the gameplay video, I switched with Upex).
This is meant to be a basic guide on how to get 4 crystals, but sacrificing on the speed a little for the boss round, for people who are quite new to ZM. Once they get better and more used to it, they can make variations to finish faster. -
i did it with 3 of my friends, we all had crystal , a few times, but, if just 1 of the four players dont play this way, its possible nobody get crystal, or just 1 or 2 get it.
i have screenshots with all 4 players crystal, but dont know how to load them here. -

You can post pictures by using
upload your picture on imgur.com and then post the link there.
And yea you're right, getting crystal for 3 people if 1 leaves is close to impossible since the amount of points that you lose is too high.

I'm done uploading the video now, you will be able to watch it soon. Sadly, I screwed up a bit since it's my first time and there are black bars.

I'm still waiting your video. I got crystal crate too but I couldn't get any hypos during game!
I don't know what the heck was going on! I killed the boss by myself when all my roommates died at wave 29. But I couldn't get hypo when it fell down in final wave too! -

Updated the thread with the link. Sorry that it took so long, YouTube tends to be slow.

The flying golden crates are supposed to give 30hp instantly, but they are bugged for now, they don't work. However, the white hypomed crates still work fine. -
A lot of people seem to have trouble getting a crystal crate on this map even though they can get it pretty easy on maps like crater or dinner. In this guide I'll not only explain on how to get 1 crystal crate, but how you could get a crystal for all 4 people in the room.
This map is not only the best map to get crystal crates, it also has the best rewards out of all zombie mode maps and it's a really fast map.
Guns
The guns that should be used in this map aren't that different from what you would use in crater, unearth or any other map where you can use your own guns. You shouldn't use shotguns though, since these are pretty much useless until round 30. Here is my top 5 for this map.
1. MG3 LM/Variants of the MG3
The MG3 LM offers a huge amount of ammo compared to other MGs and has the 2nd highest ammo count of all guns in the game. (With a MG mag you get over 1k ammo) Both the LM version and the other variants of the MG3 have a really fast reload, high damage and a good spray pattern.
2. M249 Minimi Gold
This MG has the highest ammo in the whole game. (Over 1,2k with a MG mag) It has a better spray pattern than the MG3, but the reload will really let you down since it takes nearly 4 seconds.
3. RPK Gold
High amount of ammo, good spray pattern and a decent reload. Worse than the M249 or MG3, but it's still almost perfect for zombie mode.
4. M14 EBR Gold/Xmas/New Xmas/Reg
Really fast reload, high damage, nearly non-existent recoil. Nuff said.
5. Ak-47 Fury/Beast
Pretty much the same as the M14, but with higher recoil and more damage.
3 steps to the 4 crystal crates
1. The combos.
This is the most important thing in this map. If you fail to do combos, then nobody will get a crystal crate. Vu made a video explaining how to do these.
Only 2 people should do the combos.
Guide on how to get combos(Will be uploaded on CrossFire Video Team soon):

2. The Boss.
If you did everything right, 2 people should have 550k in round 30. The other 2, who were doing combos will now shoot the Boss until they have 550k too.
3. The mutants, bonus rounds and FAL Camo.
The bonus rounds are very important since you get a high amount of points for finishing these, so make sure to not fail them. In round 24, you should use the grenade launcher of the FAL to kill the girls.
Now to the mutants and the FAL Camo. If you use the FAL camo, do not use the grenade launcher on the robots. This will cost you a lot of points since you won't get any combo bonus. You should use the grenade launcher on the mutants and the normal rifle on the robots to get combos. 2 people should kill only the mutants.

Alright let's make 1 thing clear : we aren't ZM gods who will make you get a crystal every single time; hell, we almost failed getting the 4 crystals yesterday with Nonnen and someone else. Don't get me wrong, I like playing with friends, but when I get 5 people whispering me "come ZM with me" as soon as I log in, it only makes me want to delete them.
We made this guide so that you guys become able to get 4 crystals, not to show off our "amazing skills" (I'm not that good in ZM, Chicken is great though) and have people harassing us all day long. -

^This and we only zm with certain people now, since we're both fed up with people either disconnecting, leaving, dying or simply not following the rules. -

I rarely play zombie mode so just a quick question for those who play zombie mode. If you guys were to randomly pub a emd lab game, could you guys pull off a crystal crate? If so, are you the one going for combos or just shooting the mutants?
I managed to get a crystal by joining a pub around wave 8, I do bit of both, as people focus more on robots in pubs, it's easy to collect most of the mutants, which give more points.
