Tips and tricks
- Headshots, weak points and combo multipliers are where high scores live; once survival is comfortable, start hunting for them.
- Aim first, then shoot. Spraying costs time or ammo and rarely helps; a single well-placed shot almost always beats three rushed ones.
- 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.
- Because this is a Adventure game, explore side paths early; adventure games hide their best upgrades away from the main route.
