Excavator Pi is being ignorant and not digging into the moon

OK, so 5 or so mins ago i played zombies on moon (solo) did the first 2 parts of easter egg (sam says and the stuff in the lab) at this point, i have to wait for excavator pi to dig into the moon. It never did! i got to round 18 and died and that dumb excavator got me mad. because every zombie game on moon i play solo its not giving me the excavator.

JUST TROLLING TO BLOW OFF STEAM

Nah it's fine. I was playing solo to try to get the "Ground Control" achievement. I went 31 rounds and Excavator Epsilon went down 4 times and Omicron went down 3 times. Pi never went down once, it sucks but whatever. It is what it is.

Must be like 40% Epsilon, 40% Omicron, and 20% Pi. It would make sense to have a 2:2:1 ratio so that the EE is harder to achieve, along with achievements.

Have any one of you tried to just open Tunnel 6 to the Biodome only? Leaving Tunnel 11 untouched? Everytime I go through Tunnel 6, end up in the Biodome few rounds later Pi heads towards Tunnel 6....Just saying is all

Re: Excavator Pi is being ignorant and not digging into the moon

My strategy is opening Tunnel 6 first and camp at mule kick. I keep Bio-Dome closed until an Excavator starts. Once it does I try to get the hacker and head towards the teleporter. After that I wait 2-3 rounds until I open Bio-Dome. I usually get another Excavator 2-4 rounds later. I wait another 2-3 rounds and open up Tunnel 11.

Here's where I'm stuck at. The Excavator will not appear for the missing spot. It will always repeat.
Here was my game last night, I had to quit since It was starting to get late

Round 8 - Tunnel 11
Round 14 - Bio-Dome
Round 27 - Bio-Dome
Round 34- Bio-Dome

Ummm, you grab the Hacker and head towards the teleporter??? Why not grab the hacker device and run to the Receiving Bay then hack the excavator moving?

Re: Excavator Pi is being ignorant and not digging into the moon

I've had really good luck (solo mode and co-op) getting excavators to activate by always making sure the power is turned on by round 4. Several times now I've had an excavator start moving in round 5 after turning the power in at the end of the previous round.

Good Luck!!!

Re: Excavator Pi is being ignorant and not digging into the moon

Everytime I only open tunnel 6 it takes for ever....everytime i open all the doors, excavator Pi does its thing on tunnel 6 first! But maybe its just random and really doesn't matter what you open and don't open.

Re: Excavator Pi is being ignorant and not digging into the moon

Yes! I know! I had this too and I found out this:
You have to wait first for the excavator breaching tunnel 6 and then do the first and second step. Otherwise there is less chance for the excavator pi breaching tunnel 6 and complete the full easter egg.
