Tips
- Points spent in the legendary tree help tremendously with this challenge. Specifically:
- Bow: if you have completed it once, maxed bow can one-shot Goons in the second stage (make sure to loot at least one set of arrows in the garage from Virals).
- Firearms: The pistol is fantastic for killing bolters and toads while the shotgun is fantastic for killing demolishers in the third stage.
- Unarmed: Maxed unarmed damage can vastly exceed the damage of the available weapons because the available weapons are low level. With unarmed 25, most virals will die in one hit.
- Highly recommend to have Ultimate Combatant in the Power skill tree so stamina isn't an issue.
- Recycle everything that isn't legendary to obtain metal parts to repair your legendary weapons.
- The Military Machete in the crate next to the bomb in trial 5 is equal to or the best melee weapon available in the whole trial.
- If you're going for speed, focus on killing all Bolters first and looting the ones you can afford to loot later.
- Some bombs won't activate until you get some kills first. Some require you kill everything even after deactivating the bomb.
- Exercise caution when hauling the gas canisters. It can be very easy to throw or kick them off a ledge and fall unto the ground floor where the Demolisher will make it very hard to retrieve them. If one does fall into an undesirable location, it may be wise to instead grab another (untouched) gas canister.
- When throwing canisters into the hole in the wall, stand close to the edge and aim at about a 40-45 degree angle (you'll be looking at the white of the wall above the yellow pipes).
- On trial 17, ride the wire next to the gather point once the game confirms the gather point cleared. The first checkpoint is at the end of the wire to the left.
- If you have players in your group that aren't leveled high enough to take the fight to the Virals on the elevator, try staying in one corner and swinging melee weapons at any Virals that approach. It's not fast but it lets players heal and repair while others keep denying access and killing Virals that try to approach.
- Be careful on the checkpoint events in the second stage. You have more than enough time to complete them but falling creates problems that are best avoided.
- Letting a player die in cooperative will cost one of your three lives; therefore, it is critical that downed players get picked back up.
- Bolters are easiest to hit when they are climbing. This includes guns, unarmed, and melee.
- Even if you have the ability unlocked, you cannot throw your melee weapons.

Trivia
If the player completes the Poster Challenges before starting The Bozak Horde, If the player chooses to kill Bozak, the voice on the loudspeaker will still appear. However, whether the player has completed the Poster Challenges or not, the voice claiming to be Bozak is noticeably different from the Bozak in the main game. Further, upon completing the trials, Bozak will claim that the player has become Bozak. It seems likely that Bozak is a title, not a name.
