9 Tips & Tricks
Below are the 9 tips and tricks that will help you in the game:
- Make sure to set your team’s AI to “Fightin'” mode so that they contribute in a fight. Otherwise, they will only attack in case a zombie wanders into their path
- Ensure to make more custom characters with your own choice of traits and perks as they will go on to populate the recruit pool, as some game modes will even only draw from this pool
- You better carry a flashlight on the character you control in case a location occurs around nighttime. You are not required to have it equipped; you can just have it in your inventory, providing you with a light source. You can also find or purchase a better, unbreakable flashlight that can be used as a weapon
- It is essential to mention that throwing furniture is a good approach as it enables you to knock down a row of zombies, usually killing some outright with many hits
- Strength is pretty key as it affects the attack rate and damage of melee, which will be your bread-and-butter attack mode for most of the game. An amount of Fitness is also important, but I tend to prioritize Strength upgrades when I can
- Strength is crucial as it impacts the attack range and the damage of the melee, which would be considered your major attack style for the majority of the game.
- The maxed-out medical will enable you to heal even if your medical supplies run out
- Maxed-out Mechanical will allow you to repair your car
- It is vital to mention that in the game, there are some of the game’s more common weapons are unbreakable. Therefore, if you find one you like, you can have it without worrying about backups. The common tools include Hammers, wrenches, tire irons, frying pans, and pipes
