   TIPS AND TRICKS 
  ______________________




  If you're having some trouble with this game first of all don't worry, it's supposed to be hard.
  And secondly, here are some tips you might not have known. With any luck they will give you a better edge against the zombies. 



  1.>>>[Zombies and Health.]<<< Certain zombies are stronger than others, keep an eye on how much damage any zombie can take. If he seems 
  stronger than the others, he likely is. There might be better or less costful means to killing it. An example would be spending half of 
  your pistol rounds on one tough zombie, instead of just blowing his head off with a single shotgun round.


  2.>>>[Guns and weight]<<< Ever go to grab a shotgun in a hurry but only end up taking a dirtnap right after you pick it up?
  That's because carrying certain guns tax Amber's sprint gauge more than others. Small weapons like the pistol or the knife are close at hand to running unarmed.
  Running unarmed is the safest way to run. I think you get the picture.


  3.>>>[Zombie Dodging]<<< You may have not even realized you did it, or how you did it, but yes in some cases Amber is capable of dodging a zombie. And I say A zombie
  because generally if theres more than one this trick goes right out the window. Anyway. Most non hostile actions ( like raising a door or making a pipebomb ) grant Amber temporary
  immunity to zombie attacks. Meaning shes immune until the action finishes. If you're creative ( and lucky ) you can resort to this in a jam.

  
  4.>>>[Infection Slowing]<<< So you made it to 11:55 in a 12:00 mintue survival attmept only to succumb to infection five seconds before you were rescued? This can be helped.
  Aside from certain items that actually reduce your infection meter, there is one other way to draw out your time before the sickness turns you into a brain eating
  zombie bastard, and that is to stand still. Standing still will not perform any miracles for your sickness, however it nearly halves the rate at which your infection 
  spreads.


  5.>>>[Tactics & Kills]<<< Once you get the hang of things you still might have difficulty racking these points up, and the reason these two ( Tactics and Kills ) 
  are  grouped together is because they depend on one another. First of all, if you're going for kills make sure you have "Additional Zombies" turned on in the options
  menu, it's nearly impossible to achieve a gold trophy in the kills category without "Additional Zombies" turned on. After that, the better you do the more zombies 
  will come knocking at Amber's door. This is where Tactics comes in.. Everything you do or fail to do is judged in your Tactics score. Things like moving quickly
  and accessing the bedroom right away will be judged. Things like maintaining full health or not tripping will likely cause you to be attacked more often than someone
  who charges around recklessly and takes constant damage . You get bonuses for the better you play eg.

  -Crushed many zombies with the wardrobe, or destroyed many in the kitchen blast.

  -Rifle headshots, the more you get the greater the Tactics bonus.

  -Kills using fire or successful shotgun decapitation. etc

  These are not the only ways to recieve Tactics bonuses, but they are the only ones I'm going to tell you. ( hah! )
