Tips and tricks
- Sound tells you where an enemy is before you can see it. Headphones help more than you would expect.
- Prioritise the threat that will hurt you soonest, not the one that is closest or biggest. Fast enemies before slow ones, shooters before melee.
- If there is a reload, reload during quiet moments — never in the middle of a wave.
- Learn the spawn points. Most levels reuse the same few entry points, and knowing them turns panic into routine.
