Tips and tricks
- Aim first, then shoot. Spraying costs time or ammo and rarely helps; a single well-placed shot almost always beats three rushed ones.
- Move between shots. Many shooters make you an easy target only when you stand in one place.
- Keep your cursor or crosshair roughly where enemies appear, not on the spot where the last one died.
- Headshots, weak points and combo multipliers are where high scores live; once survival is comfortable, start hunting for them.
- Because this is a Skills game, practise the hardest input in isolation before you attempt a full run.
