Tips and tricks
- 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.
- 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.
