Tips and tricks
- If there is a reload, reload during quiet moments — never in the middle of a wave.
- Prioritise the threat that will hurt you soonest, not the one that is closest or biggest. Fast enemies before slow ones, shooters before melee.
- 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.
- Because this is a Shooting game, aim before you fire, and fire in short bursts.
- Because this is a Action game, keep moving.
