The way to five perks is littered with obstacles, especially if your playing with a random with no mic. I have most of the great strategy tips in a post below but I wanted to throw a couple more out there for the five perk deal. I can't stress enough how keeping the top door to jugga is crucial in this process. It allows for a four man team to cover 5 perk machines with one person guarding the door by quick revive. It allows you to watch jugga and quick revive at the same time. My personal strategy is to keep the other perk machines minus flopper closed as long as you can. If you cant get to it the monkeys can't either. My biggest tip for covering the machines once the doors are open is CLAYMORES! Once you open stamin up you might as well buy them as they will help out a ton. Stock pile the claymores by setting them down facing a wall where there are no zombies. The best spot is the rear wall of the flopper pad but most open walls do the trick. Remember you get two claymores every round and also 2 more every max ammo. After the monkey round is over I have 2 choices for you. Grab the max ammo as quick as possible and set your claymores, then when the round starts you have two more. Or start the round and set you claymores then pick up the max ammo and set two more. Grabbing the max ammo right as the round starts screws everybody out of two claymores. The very best place to use your claymores for defense of a perk machine is Speed Cola. Spacing them out away from the machine and down the stairs can almost cover the machine by itself with no help. My placement is complicated but it does work. It involves 10 or 11 claymores from the machine down. All evenly spaced so one does not blow up the other. You can set these up between rounds and as long as no player goes to either speed cola pad or the area with the mystery box between speed and the power room your claymores will be untouched by zombies. Stamin Up can be covered as well however it is always a gamble over there. Flopper is the worst place to cover a machine with claymores as zombies run directly in front of the machine. If no one hangs out in the basement you can cover jugga down the stairs and out into the spawn room. You will find there are many approaches however I do think that claymores are a must for monkeys. Happy zombie hunting!
