Tips and Achievement Guide for Apocalypse Night

Tips and Achievement Guide

Overview

Simple achievement guide with some tips, game is broken, got to Day 52 and havent seen any new boss in starting area except Witch or new portals, only Favela portal..

Introduction and Tips

I dont know why I chose to play this game, I suck at shooters and platformers, this game is both.
I do love survival horror specially zombie apocalypses.. but well. Here we are.

Game progress is not saved.

This game is buggy and broken.

This means everytime you die, you start from the beginning.
The city map is always the same but you get dropped off at different sites, so as you play, you learn the layout. The things that spawn as you open doors and garbage bins is randomized though.

You will run out of ammo, you can buy more at the base once you build it and build the computer store inside, just click on the weapon at the top and you will buy some ammo for it, if you have 3 weapons already and want to buy a new weapon, you need to get rid of one of your own, using the G key.

The game really explains very little about itself, you can get very frustrated because you dont know what the hell you are supposed to do to survive, hopefully these tips will help with that.

The day lasts like 40 seconds, its really ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. You can hardly do any looting before you need to run back to base.

The night will last forever until you eliminate a certain amount of enemies.
You can outrun the slow zombies and make a night last however much you want, you can even jump over them if they are a nuisance, you don’t have to kill every enemy, I think its around 85% for the next day to start, enemies get hurt every second during daylight.

Coins disappear in a few seconds, make sure to collect, a magnet is a bad investment since it only lasts like a minute or less, same goes with the drone.

To get to some higher places, you need to get a jetpack (4500$) or the double jump ability that can be gotten from a portal that appears once you get past Day 6.

The jetpack however, lasts the entire game SESSION and is super useful, this means even if you die, you get to keep it. You need to research the jetpack.

I dont know what those pillar of light that appear at night are for, I know they hurt and “trap you in” but you were already trapped to begin with so what gives?

The zombies WILL destroy all you’ve built if you leave them to it, thats why I suggest to not build anything until you have enough metal collected to build a good defensible base, you will need around 70 metal which can be collected from the garbage bins, do not open doors without a defensible base, opening doors might let survivors out and they will die without shelter.

You can shoot through doors at enemies.. dont ask me how that works, just go with it.
Oh yes, you can also KNIFE through the solid wooden doors.. yeah

Every so often, Im not completely sure, but doors and bins respawn often if you run around the city.
I think doors spawn on a new day AND if you havent looted them for more than a minute.

You can use the G key to drop a weapon.
This is useful to sell weapons you get from bandits.

Each time you start a game, it sends you to the tutorial but..
You can skip the tutorial if you press ESC then choose to do so.
You can also skip the tutorial by choosing Try Again after you die.

Every few minutes, a package is dropped. Regardless if you are in an endless night or not.

Turn on that gamma, it really helps when you are scavenging in an endless night.

You can jump on top of closed bins, streetlamps, boxes, some tree branches and cars, not air conditioners or opened garbage bins.

You can SHOOT locks on doors to open them.

Character skills are used automatically, for example, craft arrows, you get an extra arrow every dozen of seconds. The “Search” ability is actually meant to be Research, as in, discover new base upgrades and weapons quicker.

Survivors you rescue will each add a little bit of research when they are in your base and at day only, this way you can unlock things like towers and force fields.

The Fevela appears after you defeat the which, time stops in there so its a great place to farm money and metal. The Boss drops his chaingun if you go get it from down below, where the spikes are.

Base Upgrades

M = metal which can be found in garbage bins.

Base – 15/25/50M
This will build a small shelter with doors.
Each next upgrade makes it more durable.
The base takes damage when enemies hit their doors.

Computer Store – 3M
Inside the shelter, you can build this and buy most stuff from it.
Time passes while browsing the store, be quick, be careful.

Barricade – 10/15/20/25M
The simplest barricade, can be built outside at the sides of the shelter.
Each next upgrade makes it more durable.

Discovery Builds

These upgrades can only be known if you have survivors in your base at the start of a new day, survivors have a chance to teach you one of these.

Tower – 5/10/20M
Allies can shoot and defend the base from these.
Upgrades improve durability.

Thorns – 10/M
Spikes that hurt enemies that pass through them.

Killing Achievements

A single match, means simply, a single game.
This game does not save between deaths, so, all these kills will need to be done in one single run.

I’m enjoyed it …
Kill 100 zombie in a single match

Killer
Kill 750 monster in a single match

Bird killer
kill 100 Crow before closing the game

Crows start appearing in Day 2 and they will pick you up, put your mouse cursor above them and knife them so they release you.

Mouse skewer
Kill 15 Mice in a single match using a knife

Mice are faster than zombies, lure them ahead of the horde and knife them.
They start appearing when you open garbage bins after a few days.

Trainer
Kill 50 Demonic Dogs in a single match

It took me 5 hours to get this, yes, a single 5 hour match in which I got to level 50 before I got bored. They bark and yelp when you kill them. It MIGHT be killing dogs with knives.

I always hated Clown
Kill 50 killer Clowns in a single match

Same deal as the dogs, these guys are the ones running around with Chainsaw, unlocked this one around Day 52

Personal Trainer
Kill 75 Fat Infected before closing the game

I hate plants
Destroy all plants in the City

These are all the plants, you need to destroy them all without leaving the area, so no going into portals or dying until you get them all.

Boss Achievements

Inquisition…

She comes on Night 5, she is the easiest boss if you have a drone or allied towers.
Just hide inside your bunker, she cant destroy it from the roof.
The drone and the towers will drain her health and eventually kill her.
