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.
- Learn the spawn points. Most levels reuse the same few entry points, and knowing them turns panic into routine.
- If there is a reload, reload during quiet moments — never in the middle of a wave.
- Move between shots. Many shooters make you an easy target only when you stand in one place.
