Tips and tricks
- Keep your cursor or crosshair roughly where enemies appear, not on the spot where the last one died.
- Learn the spawn points. Most levels reuse the same few entry points, and knowing them turns panic into routine.
- If there is a reload, reload during quiet moments — never in the middle of a wave.
- Prioritise the threat that will hurt you soonest, not the one that is closest or biggest. Fast enemies before slow ones, shooters before melee.
- Because this is a Action game, keep moving.
