Tips and tricks

- Headshots, weak points and combo multipliers are where high scores live; once survival is comfortable, start hunting for them.
- If there is a reload, reload during quiet moments — never in the middle of a wave.
- Keep your cursor or crosshair roughly where enemies appear, not on the spot where the last one died.
