I put asterisks (***) in front of some of the titles to mark bonuses (Classic Carlos Models) and tips (farming weapon kills).
***Grenade Launcher and Shotgun Farming Alt. (Jill)
Save when you reach the Dilapidated Shelter in the subway tunnels. You can pick up ammo for the grenade launcher in the safe room.
There will be a group of zombies outside the room. Reload your save file to rack up kills.
***Handgun and Assault Rifle Farming (Carlos)
Create a separate save file right after Carlos injects Jill with the antidote.
Zombies will continue to spawn in the lobby so long as you do not place the detonator on the pillar.
Reload your save when you run out of ammo. You do not need to finish the area for the game to record your kills.
***Shotgun, Grenade Launcher, and MAG Farming (Jill)
Save the game after you use the USB stick to unlock the door in NEST. There will be 5 enemies to farm your kills on. Rinse, repeat.
