Probably the most helpful tip, Don't let the zombies surround you! Try to keep moving as much as possible. However, You may need to take out the runners since they are very fast and you probably can't outrun them.


Picking up literally everything you see is not a good idea, Your character starts with a max of 10kg weight limit and once that limit is reached you can't pick up any more. so try to have just 1 melee weapon and 1 or 2 guns.


If you find a Gene Therapy while infected, use it once, than wait until the bar fills up and use it again. or else it won't work.


No matter if you're using melee or guns, always try to aim for the head, doing this will maximize the damage you deal to the zombies. however, if you have a sharp melee weapon, you could also go for a charged attack for the legs, which will make them into crawlers, allowing you to jump past them, this is especially useful if the zombie is wearing a helmet.


you might be looking to kill every zombie with guns, however Don't do this! at the finale there will be dozens of zombies, so try saving your ammo for it and only shoot when needed.


this should be pretty obvious, but don't fight hordes! even with a good melee weapon, you can get surrounded and killed pretty quickly, especially if there are the prime zombies. so either run or use explosives if needed.


i would say that if your health is above about 60%, you don't need to heal. only heal if your health is lower or at critical levels as you can risk infection. you need to save the medical items for the objectives.


Try to shove or kick the zombies, than hit, this will interrupt their attack and give you time to recharge stamina.


Making loud noises such as shooting is a bad idea. zombies can hear them and will quickly swarm the area, and they also spawn forever, making it impossible to kill all of them, so try to make as little noise as possible.


Zombies can now climb cars, including vans, trucks, and suvs. however, you could still jump on them for a short time to heal.


this game has fall damage, don't jump off high places as they will damage or kill you.


Pressing M1 makes you do a left to right attack, and pressing M2 makes you do a right to left attack, try to alternate between these two when attacking, this is much faster than if you just spam a single attack direction. Holding either of these will make you do a charged attack, which deals more damage and can cut off limbs if you have a sharp melee.


Explosives can now damage you if you stand near it, so keep away when they're about to blow up.

the walkers are the majority of the zombies you can find, not much of a threat when alone but extremely dangerous if in hordes, they're pretty slow but sometimes can charge and grab you, which you have to mash F to escape. being out of stamina will make them bite and infect you no matter what. They can also sometimes lunge forward and do a heavy attack, dealing more damage/



One of the more dangerous zombies, they are very fast and probably can't be outran. and they deal more damage than walkers. make sure to shove them before they can hit you.




This type is basically harmless, but when they spot you, they let out a very loud scream, possibly attracting other zombies. so it's best to kill them first, they are pretty weak, taking only 2-3 hits with any weapon, and can be spotted by tattered clothes and a hunched stance. do not stand near them after they die since the gas cloud can infect you if you stay in it for too long.




This type can be identified with blood all over their body. these are tougher than walkers.
