Tips and tricks
- 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.
- Keep your cursor or crosshair roughly where enemies appear, not on the spot where the last one died.
- If there is a reload, reload during quiet moments — never in the middle of a wave.
