Tips and tricks
- Move between shots. Many shooters make you an easy target only when you stand in one place.
- Headshots, weak points and combo multipliers are where high scores live; once survival is comfortable, start hunting for them.
- Sound tells you where an enemy is before you can see it. Headphones help more than you would expect.
- If there is a reload, reload during quiet moments — never in the middle of a wave.
- Because this is a Halloween game, seasonal games often have hidden bonuses in the decorations.
