- Entry Location:
Dead Air
Instead of triggering the crane in dead air, you can skip it. When you jump out of the windows near the crane, turn left and there will be a vent. Climb the vent to jump onto the fence, walk across the fence and jump onto a small power unit on the building opposite (near the dumpster) then jump onto the building, no problem! Remember to Crouch Jump in some places! - General Tips
- Survivors
1. If there are only a few zombies in a room use pistols. Don't waste ammo.
2. If you're in front of your group, duck so that the people behind you can shoot over you.
3. Stop and shoot. Stopping when shooting is a lot more accurate than running and shooting. But chances of getting hit are higher.
4. Go back for your team mates. This is obvious, and you always need the most firepower that you can get. The only exception is if you're in the safe room.
5. When a tank drops to its knees, stop shooting. It is a complete waste of ammo because the tank is finished by then.
6. Hunting rifles suck. It's always faster to blow them away up front.
7. Never purposely startle the witch, unless she is blocking the only way to the next area.
8. Never purposely shoot an alarmed car.
9. If you hear a Boomer, be careful and always hit him away if he's close.
10. Never go into a tight hallway when a tank is coming and always run and shoot a tank. Don't stay still and shoot. I know it contradicts #3 but do it anyway to bring the tank down.
11. On the first level of "no mercy," if you want to skip the apartment building, look behind you and you'll see the glass window. Behind that, on the other building, you'll see 2 fans. Jump on those and you won't die from the jump down.
Infected
1. Hunter: never pounce into a group of survivors. only pounce when one is separated from the group.
2. Tank: if your chasing a survivor, throw a rock at them or smash a car at 'em.
3. Tank: if your at long range from the survivors, throw a rock first, then charge.
4. Smoker: always do your best to get far away from the survivors as possible and get up a building. This way its harder for you to get noticed and you can do more damage to the survivor.
5. Boomer: never run up to the survivors to puke on them. Try to hide and do it when they don't know you're there.
6. Your claws are mostly useless, except for breaking walls and doors.
7. You aren't damaged by falls, use this to your advantage. - One Man Witch Kill
- 1. The person designated to kill the Witch HAS to have an AUTOMATIC Shotgun, no exceptions.
2. The Witch herself has to be in an accessible part of the map, I.E. not to close to any walls, or over a fence, etc.
How this works. The "Witch-Killer" is to sneak around and behind the Witch, CROUCHED. Make sure you're completely behind her, so that she can't see you from the side. Get close enough to the point where you're almost touching her, and shoot her in the back of the head with the auto-shotgun. It sometimes works on the first hit, and sometimes you'll have to put one or two more into her as she turns to face you, but it's guaranteed to kill the Witch, so long as you sneak up on her properly.
Another way to kill a Witch in game is lmore difficult than the Shotgun tactic, but is still a viable tactic if the opportunity presents itself. It requires the Witch to be in an open field of some kind, which would provide a long line of site. A player with the hunting rifle should be able to successfully get a head-shot at her once she is in the line of sight to kill her. A few shots on her body too can take care of the business. - Weapon Damage Points
- These are the damages for all in game firearms. Damage is based on a bodyshot to the Tank. Expect head shots to do greater damage.
