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.
- Aim first, then shoot. Spraying costs time or ammo and rarely helps; a single well-placed shot almost always beats three rushed ones.
- Prioritise the threat that will hurt you soonest, not the one that is closest or biggest. Fast enemies before slow ones, shooters before melee.
