Location: Jeffrey is North of the Tower

Rewards: 2,500 Survivor XP

Difficulty: Medium

Jeffrey is north of the Tower, in the Slums. He has killing challenges for Crane to complete. The first one is to sever 40 arms from Infected in a short time limit. You get a great (unbreakable) chopping weapon, but it’s still a tough challenge to complete. Aim low and fight the urge to go for headshots. You want to hit arms and torsos to get the maximum number of severings. You get well over 20 of your points while killing Infected on the roof where you begin, but you still need more targets. Jump carefully off of the roof and get to ground level on the left side. Not far away there is a fence; jump over it and go into a parking lot with MANY more Infected. Finish the challenge there with fast swings and don’t be picky about targets.

Collect your money from Jeffrey and return later for a new challenge. The second time, you have to impale 15 Infected on Spike Traps. Run left from the beginning and get at least four Infected from that group onto Spikes with your Grapple attacks. Let them come toward you, and then throw them where they need to go.

Don’t waste time when your targets run out. Sprint to the opposite end of the street and get the remaining 10 or 11 of them onto Spikes over there. You get plenty of targets to play with. Make sure that you back off to use Medkits if you start to take too much damage. Otherwise, it’s just a mad romp to get all of them in the time limit.

Later, the third challenge is to break 30 Infected legs in a short amount of time. This is very difficult. Swing for the kneecaps (not the feet or the hips). Positioning means a great deal when aiming for the legs. If you get too close to the Infected, you end up hitting their upper bodies even when you aim for the legs. Make sure that Kyle has plenty of room to swing by standing back from your targets. Also, strafe to ensure that you make swinging attacks instead of overhead blows (which are almost useless here).

There are enough targets, but you need to run down the length of the highway, take the exit on the right, and then leap to the onramp across from you (where even more Infected are waiting). Also, push forward when starting the challenge so that you move forward as much as you possibly can even before the time limit starts.

The fourth challenge here is with a better weapon! Now you get to wield a real sword. This is a breeze compared to what you just pulled off. Aim for the heads and necks, swing fast, and stay mobile to ensure that you go through entire groups instead of needing to hunt for targets. Clear the gas station, then go around the building to your left to find more enemies.

The grand finale comes soon afterward. Jeffrey’s last challenge is to take a large Axe and chop 30 Infected in half. There aren’t enough zombies to do this without being careful of accidental kills, and your swing times are brutally slow. You need to charge the Axe to get maximum bisecting ability, so most of your victory relies on charging and swinging without any wasted time.

And that’s the last of Jeffrey’s challenges. Instead of getting a pile of cash, Jeff tries to cut you in half. Be ready for a quick and aggressive fight. Cut this psychopath in half and take his Safe Zone as your own.
