Tips and tricks
- If there is a reload, reload during quiet moments — never in the middle of a wave.
- Headshots, weak points and combo multipliers are where high scores live; once survival is comfortable, start hunting for them.
- Keep your cursor or crosshair roughly where enemies appear, not on the spot where the last one died.
- 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 Arcade game, restart early when a run goes wrong instead of grinding out a poor score.
