Overview
i may not be pro but i do know a few things about this game…maybe the reason i keep dying is because of the dang runners…
secrets
okay so its worth pointing out that when your dead…the players that are alive CANNOT hear you or see your chat…so spectating and giving hints is pointless…but they may help the OTHER dead players….also the walkie talkie (cellphone looking thing) helps you hear other players from a further distance…and when you die you turn into a runner (running zombie obviously) sadly you cannot control but you can see your zombie self infecting your former survivors. flashlights have limited battery if there on for to long but they can recharge and if you press F when using a pistol then a flashlight appears (if you have one in your inventory)
supplies
so anyway when your infected these red thingies will show up on the screen and get bigger and your vision will get blurry and darker until you die…in order for you to cure this you need to find a bottle of pills(they only work for 3 minutes)…and then theres bleeding…i have no idea how this is caused..i think maybe getting damaged alot..anyway when your bleeding you will take damage overtime and these blood things will show up on your screen,in order to stop this…find bandages (these tannish things rolled up) and in order to heal…well i THINK this only happens in the “zone” gamemode (the one with zone A,zone B,zone C.etc.) but to heal you need to find a red crate and place it on that mark thing…youll know you placed it when theres a number above it…the number is “200” this indicates how much health it can heal (of course the average health is 100) so the more health you take from it…the more the number goes down..only use this in circumstances such as very low health (seeing grey)
other
so anyway the zombies are obviously your ENEMIES…they can grab you and bite you until you shove them off (v key…also this is usually what causes infection) so you need to find weapons scattered all over the map to fight them off…this wont be easy considering the huge maps…but anyway when you find a weapon you need to find ammo (you can see wich ammo box to look for by holding down the reload button) watch out for runners (if you turn into a zombie you turn into a RUNNER) runners are obvious…they run…and there not easier to kill then the normal zombies (except child zombies…very short and fast) but an easy way to kill zombies is with a shot to the head or a very powerful melee weapon (sledgehamer) theres rare weapons such as molotovs,chainsaws and various guns (i think there rare but in the cabin map i saw a chainsaw twice in the same place)
