Tips and tricks
- 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.
- Headshots, weak points and combo multipliers are where high scores live; once survival is comfortable, start hunting for them.
- Learn the spawn points. Most levels reuse the same few entry points, and knowing them turns panic into routine.
- Because this is a Action game, keep moving.
- Because this is a Shooting game, aim before you fire, and fire in short bursts.
