Tips and tricks
- Sound tells you where an enemy is before you can see it. Headphones help more than you would expect.
- 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.
- Because this is a Shooting game, aim before you fire, and fire in short bursts.
