Overview
found a path to access outside the basic building, giving access to the whole map, you still need to find ammo, stores etc, and the Zombies still need to be checked for supplies too
Part One: getting to ‘Safety’
just thought I would add a little bit of a hints and tips section here
specifically, the HORDE part, as I have found several walk through sites, and even a couple of hacks n cheats, which I do NOT use
however, I have found what can only be called an Easter Egg 🙂
to start, you are going to be in the HORDE mode, the basic death match, you cannot win, only kill as many Zombies as possible, however, in one map – Waves of Despair – I have discovered a path to access outside the building that contains the basic battleground.
after setting up, make your way to the far end of the building, at the end of a tunnel, then climb the stairs, here you will find access to dynamite and trip mines, as well as the PREACHER weapon, which is the big gun in this game
to find the ‘escape’ after climbing the stairs, you enter the room, turn right, and climb the next stairs, turn 180 degrees, and then RUN down the stairs and up the second set, then as you hit the top of the second set, and you are next to the wall on the L/H side, you will see a CLIMB option flash on screen, hit the E button to action it, and you should then climb out of the kill zone
it will be a matter of practice to get this right, but if you are being pursued, practice FAST :o)
this will be a small rooftop area, you are safe here for the first few levels, as they Zombies need to catch you, the ones with guns appear later in the game.
You ARE safe, but you WILL need to reload ammo as it is used up, so check the rest of guide for details on that.
you may need to access the building again too, to reload with mines etc, just remember the way back to the safe zones is ONLY available as set out at the start
Part Two: Once safe in LEVEL ONE
OK, to recap on getting TO the ‘safe’ zone
to find the ‘escape’ after climbing the stairs, you enter the room, turn right, and climb the next stairs, turn 180 degrees, and then RUN down the stairs and up the second set, then as you hit the top of the second set, and you are next to the wall on the L/H side, you will see a CLIMB option flash on screen, hit the E button to action it, and you should then climb out of the kill zone
this will be a small rooftop area, you are safe here for the first few levels,
but for level ONE, you can set a trap for the Zombies, and all you have to do is wait :o)
the Zombies will find you, they will appear in the stair well, and wait there, let them build up.
Now you CAN shoot a few, to build up your head count, and every Zombie killed without a miss, will increase your kill score by at least another 30 points, so 1st kill 30, second kill 60, 3rd kill 90 etc, it builds up and so at 100 kills it will be 3000 points for the kill, now the other way to increase the score is to kill a LOT of Zombies at once as then you get the enhanced score PLUS a multi kill bonus too, and if you are at 100+ in the kills, it isn’t too hard to get a multi kill that will give you MILLIONS as a bonus, anyway, I digress :o)
let the Zombies build up, keep checking in the area behind you that there are no more Zombies walking to you, then approach the edge, the Zombies will get all active again, select a grenade and throw it into the stairwell, AND RUN, jump OFF the roof to the front of the truck below, or you will be killed in the blast, as not only will the grenade go off, but you may have noticed as you ran up there that there were several heavy artillery shells around, and these too will cook off, killing every Zombie in the stairwell, giving you a big bonus to start the level, and leaving you, hopefully, alive at the bottom of the building.
ALWAYS remember :-
you may need to access the building again too, to reload with mines etc, just remember the way back to the safe zones is ONLY available as set out at the start
Part Three: setting the first booby traps
OK, you are now at the bottom of the building, the bombs have just gone off, all Zombies in the stairwell are dead, and hopefully there will be a few left, as that will allow you do build a quick booby trap for the start of level THREE.
for this I am hoping that when you got up the stairs you did the explore, and found the dynamite and trip mines there, the PREACHER is also there, leave that until Level SIX earliest to save the limited ammo it comes with
NOW, looking at the truck, turn RIGHT, and head towards a building in the distance with a doorway to a ramp leading upwards, as you go up the ramp you will see a petrol can on the L/H side about half way up, just in front of that lay a trip mine with the wire set across the whole ramp, then go to top of the ramp and drop a dynamite load there too, you will notice up there a couple of oxy/acetylene bottles and a trolley too, run into the bottles and knock them over, try to push them closer to the top of the ramp, the trolley, if possible, push it to the L/H side of the ramp and leave it there.
Now head DOWN ramp, as you leave, you should notice some more oxy/acetylene bottles to the R/H side of the door, as you leave, take a few paces and drop the last dynamite on ground, roughly in the centre line of the door, then heading towards that truck again, head slightly to the right for a few paces, and drop the last trip mine too, drag the line to the LEFT so it covers the doorway.
then run back to the first building and enter by the doorway you will see, go back up get more dynamite and trip mines, climb up to the safe zone and wait till the zombies build up again – they don’t appear to come after you while you are setting the booby trap,but don’t waste time, as they WILL come eventually – while waiting you can add a third booby trap by throwing dynamite down to the back of the truck, one close to it, and one a bit further away towards the building where you have just laid the other booby traps, come level THREE, as long as NO ONE is on the safe zone – hopefully you will be on the roof of the main building by then – also in third booby trap as you re-entered the building, you would have seen some shells and petrol cans there, these will add to the booby trap power. As you get more experienced, you will be able to move these by running into them and shuffling them around to different areas to allow for a more wide spread kill zone, and back to being in the safe zone waiting :o)
once there is a decent crowd of Zombies use a grenade to kill them, again, gaining a bonus score for a multi kill, you should be OK on the safe zone, but don’t get TOO close to the edge when you throw the grenade, once they are dead, it may signal the end of the FIRST level, or there may be a couple left, if it is down to the last three, only kill TWO, then you can jump don, gab more dynamite, check any dead Zombies for supplies and THEN kill last Zombie, then climb to safe zone and move off to roof to continue battle.
Part Four: getting to main fighting area, and finding ammo
once Level ONE is complete, and you have again jumped down by the truck, head off to the left, then turn right, head to end of building and go left, at end of building turn left again, here there is RIFLE ammo available, running past there go PAST the stairs, just behind them is SECONDARY weapon ammo, now go up stairs and here on the roof is where the main fight will occur, as you get to top, look right, the gun emplacement has walls surrounding it, they are NOT a block to players, but Zombies CANNOT pass through them, they CAN follow you if they get too close though.
as you practice you will find different ways to make it further than before, but you STILL need to be careful with ammo, and when possible, get out and check any dead Zombies for stores / ammo
have fun, die hard :o)
Part Five: where ARE the ammo supplies
As you start this level, turn 180 degrees and run to the stairs, as you approach them, on your RIGHT you will see the SECONDARY ammo supply.
From secondary ammo, carry on running, turn LEFT, head towards a stairwell, by top of stairs you will find MINES
From the secondary ammo, turn round, head down the stairs, straight on and around the hole in the floor, you will come to the RIFLE ammo supply.
Down the stairs, turn right and head back on yourself, as you get past the stairs,on your RIGHT will be PISTOL ammo, this is the ONLY pistol ammo supply on the map.
Down the stairs, turn right, head past stairs, as you head to wall, turn LEFT, you will see doorway to a ramp / tunnel to safe area, just before you enter that, on the RIGHT you will see GRENADES
A SECOND rifle / Secondary ammo supply is available by the stairs to the roof of the main building
for any additional stores / ammo, check as many dead Zombies as you can
Part Six: the booby traps – when and how
From the third section IIRC, you set up some booby traps up the ramp, and just outside the doorway to the ramp, then you also threw a couple of dynamite sticks around the truck too.
I SHOULD have added, when the first level is completed, and you drop down by the truck, go to the front of the truck, you will see a petrol can on both sides of the truck, put a TRIP MINE in front on one of them, and drag the trip to the other one, this will create a trap that will cover the path by the truck.
NOW, we get through level two, get to roof and from stars head straight over to the stairwell / drums, from there through the rifle scope you can watch as Level Three commences, the Zombies begin in that area, you will note them starting to walk down the ramp, once they trip the first mine, it will destroy anything on the ramp and a lot of them in the top area too.
keep watching, now at the bottom of the ramp, you will see the Zombies walking out, they will be heading to YOU, this will send them over the second trip mine, this will go up, it will take the dynamite AND the oxy bottles too.
Next, the remaining Zombies will walk towards you, if someone is on the safe are where you first climb out, or anywhere on that side, the Zombies will NOT progress to the trap, but will climb into the building :o(
So, hopefully you and your team are all on the roof, the Zombies will walk towards you, they will pass by the truck and trip the mine, this will cause everything you laid, plus the petrol cans AND the shells and cans by the building to go up too, this will not kill all in level three, but it is, again, a good way to get some multi kills in, and build up your score
