Tips and tricks
- Move between shots. Many shooters make you an easy target only when you stand in one place.
- If there is a reload, reload during quiet moments — never in the middle of a wave.
- Sound tells you where an enemy is before you can see it. Headphones help more than you would expect.
- Aim first, then shoot. Spraying costs time or ammo and rarely helps; a single well-placed shot almost always beats three rushed ones.
- Because this is a Hypercasual game, find the rhythm of the single mechanic — that is the entire skill.
