EMD Lab Crystal Crate guide.
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.

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.

You just have to do Combos. It's way easier than shooting all of them. If you have trouble doing combos fast, you can get a combo with the dynamite robot and it will destroy all other robots.
I'll render the video now. -

We figured out the purpose of combos right after you left.
By using these guidelines, we got 6 games with 4x Crystal today, planning to get more once we're back on. -
nc guide!
map is super easy, i won 7 crystal crates in a row
Ikr. Once you figure out how to do combos you will get all the crystal crate guns within 1 day.
I'll post the video tomorrow since it'll still take another 40 minutes to render it. -
if you mean about those flying hypos well they're bugged and should be fixed soon i guess
I think this is not a bug. This is a challenge for people if they want to get hypos cause there are more hypos than other maps and you have to FLY to get it though -
Yeah the FPS on this map is very high compared to others, I rarely get drops and the regular fps is decent as well.andrew88sw2 wrote: »Very nice work.
Hopefully you get better fps on this than dinner 97xilef

The golden crates give 30hp but are bugged, there are white crates giving hypos, which work, you just need a good timing, same for grenades (which aren't useful, except against mutants). -

Just wait on the side and jump on them when they're in front of you. Do it on high floors to have a 2nd and 3rd chance in case you miss.
You shouldn't be needing them anyways. -
I didn't figure the combo thing out until I had already done like ten games. The highest combo I've seen is eleven. The red explosive tank robots, if you combo them they destroy the rest of the bots in line with them, I don't think you get any points for the other bots that get destroyed.

I will upload a video tomorrow. I'm picking up both nades and hypos there, so be sure to check this thread again.yeah, can you tell me or make a video to show me how to get those boxes? cause every time I tried to jump to get it then I fell to the bottom of them map and lost lot of HP lolI didn't figure the combo thing out until I had already done like ten games.

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.
