Overview
When there is no more room in hell, the dead will walk the Earth.If you are reading this guide, that means you’ve got in trouble with those things.Keep the guide with you, because you might need it.
In the Beginning.
In the beginning was the military experiments, and then…you know, some mistakes were made, whole cities got infected, that’s how it happens. The infection comes in some cases from water (some maps), but not all. The infection from most cases comes from the fallen ones, the Zombies. We’ll talk about them in next chapter.
Zombies.
There are four types of Zombies i could encounter, God knows how many can be.
Shambler
Simple walking dead guy. No threat if you keep distance. But if you are not too careful, one can become dangerous for you. Shambler can hit you with his hands, but also they can grapple and bite you, which can cause an infection. The attacks are not that powerful.
Runner
Just like the Shambler, but way more dangerous, because he can run and chase you. Their attack are also more powerful.
Kid.
Most weakest and dangerous at the same time. They run fast, hit fast, cannot grapple you and scream loud, but do you have a courage to kill an innocent child?
National Guard
These dudes lost their life, but not the power and equipment. You can loot them for supplies.
How to deal with Zombies.
If they are dead, that doesnt mean that they are weaker. They are very hard to put down.
If you have nothing in your hands, you can use your fists and hope to survive.
With melee weapon use your hands(LMB) to beat the zombie. Aim for the head of course.
To make a powerful attack, raise your weapon up(hold LMB) and drop all the power in the zombie’s head.
If the zombie has grappled you, you need to shove( V by default ) them off. Do this quick, or they can bite you.
With firearms it’s very simple to put zombies down, but DO NOT WASTE AMMO, always check the amount of it(hold R).Aim very carefully, like for 2-3 seconds to be sure that you will hit the target(Standing still for 3 seconds with pistol will activate focus mode which will deal double damage.)
You can also throw a melee in a zombie(hold G by default), but it’s very difficult to kill.
In dark places you can use flashlight along with handguns and some melee’s(F while holding a weapon).
Help the wounded.
There is a medical items scattered around location that you can pick up, use and share. But what do they do?
First Aid Kit
Nuff said. It heals 1/3 of your health, but it takes time to heal. Remember to share it with mates.
Bandages
Can be used to stop bleeding. You can also stop bleeding with medkit.
Pills
Can be used to delay infection process. Infection last 2 minutes. Take the pills to delay it for 5 minutes. The infection can be spotted by veins you see, you’ll start hear hallucinations, vision is bluring, then it gets darker, and then you die and become one of them. Most painful 2 minutes, eh?
Gene Therapy
Rare military-medical item. It cures the infection and give the immunity. But some survivors say that it can also cause blindness, or even death. Be very careful using that.
Protecting your life…
If you need to hold out in some place(Survival mode), you need to barricade it.
You can barricade safehouse with hammer, but you need boards for it. They can be found all over your safezone.
It’s simple: pull out the boards(RMB while holding hammer)and start barricading.
If your safezone is damaged, you can use the military FEMA bags for repairing it, but there is only few of them. Don’t waste them all.
To open some locks, you’ll need to find a key or a welder.
Sometimes National Guard will drop you supply crate. There you can find some items. You can also call for supply drop. You need to find FlareGun, shoot it up in the sky and hope.
If you get lucky, National Guard will arrive to pick you(and maybe your team) up before you die or lose safezone. In this case, they wont wait for you from tea party.
Better place to be.
If you need to go somewhere(Objective mode), you need to know what to do, and where to go.
Check on your compass(C by default) to see where you need to go. You won’t go far alone, because you might need to take something heavy, which make you defenseless.
You can use some advices from previous chapter.
Last advices.
- Aim for the head. Don’t waste ammo.
- Check up on your mates.
- Notify them if you are in trouble.
- Scavenge as much ammo as you need.( You can unload weapon by pressing U by default)
- Have no mercy.
- Be careful with flameable things. If they catch the fire, they can become more agressive.
- When you have no choice, its time to go to hell.(You can shoot yourself by pressing K. Do you have a choice?)
