How to approach it
Bring several Molotovs or napalm, a couple of bombs and full ammo. Pick a chokepoint and a retreat route before the first shot, and use Focus on the front runners. Meet it at the cave mouth with fire as it comes out.
When to hit it
Hordes rest in their hibernation spot during the day and go out to feed and drink after dark. Hitting a sleeping Horde lets you set up traps first. Every Swarmer drops an ear, so loot the field afterward for the bounty collector.
When it opens
It becomes a Horde Killer target after Lots of Sick People.
Deacon's note
Deacon says hearing about this Horde gave him the idea of sealing caves to stop Hordes hibernating.
