Tips and tricks
- Headshots, weak points and combo multipliers are where high scores live; once survival is comfortable, start hunting for them.
- Prioritise the threat that will hurt you soonest, not the one that is closest or biggest. Fast enemies before slow ones, shooters before melee.
- Aim first, then shoot. Spraying costs time or ammo and rarely helps; a single well-placed shot almost always beats three rushed ones.
- Learn the spawn points. Most levels reuse the same few entry points, and knowing them turns panic into routine.
