Tips and tricks
- Prioritise the threat that will hurt you soonest, not the one that is closest or biggest. Fast enemies before slow ones, shooters before melee.
- 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.
- Sound tells you where an enemy is before you can see it. Headphones help more than you would expect.
