User blog comment:Pygmy Hippo 2/Deceit Infected vs. Last Year:The Nightmare Survivors/@comment-34942931-20190826015159

I’m just going to be very open about this and think that the survivors are probably going to take this. While the infected are strong, they are ultimately outnumbers. Admittedly the survivors splitting up into groups is going to be a serious problem for them as it’s going to allow the monsters to pick them off at the beginning before they quite understand what’s going on. However, if the infected really do wait so long before going for the kill, that might not be as big of a problem for the survivors as one might expect. The survivors also have a lot of opportunities to get something that effects the monsters, such at the medic’s lights and her taser may even be useful, and the medic is obviously going to be staying around the others in case something bad happens. I feel like if the taser is shot in the dark there should be enough light to blind an infected.

While I do think quite a few of the survivors are going to die, I don’t think that they’re going to lose entirely. They have the tools necessary to get thorough and with the information about the project around the building, and the scanners likely being able to pick up the monsters, once the initial shock is over, I can’t see them making too many stupid mistakes to lose, especially if these newcomers in-story just appeared out of nowhere, and they’re already suspicious of them. Shouldn’t take much convincing, imo.
