Tips and tricks
- Sound tells you where an enemy is before you can see it. Headphones help more than you would expect.
- Learn the spawn points. Most levels reuse the same few entry points, and knowing them turns panic into routine.
- Headshots, weak points and combo multipliers are where high scores live; once survival is comfortable, start hunting for them.
- Move between shots. Many shooters make you an easy target only when you stand in one place.
