I went ahead and fought a solo blood moon, mostly to see how it was. Mainly used explosives, which I have decided are great for blood moons, at least if you spec in it for the bonuses. Pipe bombs are practically free in the sense that they require no looted materials to make -- mainly just gotta farm up nitrite, coal and iron and you can make all the pipe bombs you want. Grenades need a spring, which isn't exactly hard to get but does mean they require a loot-only item.
Spitters are still a problem in the current design. They WILL spit at you from below and a direct hit is pretty harmful. Vllad's plan of prioritizing them with his 7.62 is definitely the way to go. Solo, I had to stop what I was doing and make sure I blew them up anytime I heard one. Luckily they self-detonate if you get a good hit on them so if you're just trying to get rid of them it's not too hard.
We can probably do more blood moons by diversifying our weapons anyway. Everyone on blunderbus/shotgun is too much paper. Everyone on 7.62 would be too much brass. But if I focus mainly on explosive, Vllad does 7.62, Zouji does bolts/arrows and Arsilon and Doph do shotguns or whatever then we can probably do more bloodmoons.
(We do need to do more group loot runs though. Starting over on hard means none of us can safely solo still. We don't have the armor for it, mainly. I still get stunned pretty easily which I assume is a consequence of not having enough armor. Blunderbus also sucks against high armor zombies because you don't stagger them at all and then they just stun you and eat you.)
