Help please!

Okay so I'm on the second island now (not Kovac's) I've just found the little girl and some handglider thing, I have tried to open two of the safe houses on the island, and get swarmed by impossible amounts of zombies. I have crafted the hand gun, sten gun, shotgun, and neither are working to clear the horde, many have body armour/helmets anyway. Ive tried killing zombies around the area first, but loads still came.

What can i do? I'm really stuck and its ruining my enjoyment of this game.

clear one safe house after another. try first to aim until you have a red cross, also each charakter has its own benefits

[MaseyMase]

Yeah I do that, i find that guns are almost useless, or at least the ones i can make at the minute, I found molotov cocktails really helped, had to use 3 though.

experiment a bit on your weapons, for example Abby in my experience is best to stick to the bow, I upgraded it to carbon pulley golden and pretty much use only flaming arrows. Even after I made a long gun I found she is still best off and quick on the bow. Everyone is differnt
Also, as far as clearing bunkers, I tend to open the door and run a bit back to where I have already been, the horde will follow you from the sound of the bunker, but it gives me a chance to be setup to meet the attack on a prime defense and killing them off that way.

Also, don't forget there was a tutorial on what to do to kill the armored zombies since they have armor on their head. I forget what it was, I think you had to shoot once then finish them off by melee or with another second shot. Also, I believe it has to be an AIMED shot to actually penetrate. But I haven't played in a while. Check you main menu for the Kovac Tutorials, I believe it was in there. I know he said something about it some time in game.

Yeah, you should do an aimed shot at head, it knocks off helmet, then aim at head again.

another trick is to run to a pond with piranhas or open the safehouse, immediately close the door, defeat against the zombis from within and when they are dead, wait until all the zombis stay in front of the house and shoot an explosive/fire arrow at the door

If I can clear out inside the safehouse (chainsaw can be helpful but watch out for the exploding zombie if one gets in), I find I can toss a cockail at the safe house door and it'll burn up most or all of the zombies that have glommed on to the entrance (the cocktail damage effects zombies on the other side of the door). :)

Craft a boomerang, close the door whilst inside and clear the ones that spawn there and then deal with those outside

[vernicom]

open the door and run, then, kill every zombie aproche, far to the door the zombies come in one direction only.

[MaseyMase]

I did the tactic of open and running, worked well :) I couldnt close the door when i was inside i dont know if it is possible :/ but thanks for the help guys!

[BlackjackGT]

It's very cool this game inspires us all to create our own solutions rather than just have one. :)

On the door, while you can close it from inside the safehouse, I don't think it's visually easy enough to see per se. I think you can sort of highlight the closed door with your mouse and then click it to close, something like that. :)

Sometimes it's more fun when I screw up -- I've dropped molotov cocktails on top of my own character by mistake, or I've been chainsawing the zombies that sneak into the back and realize too late I'm chainsawing an exploding zombie. :D

[MaseyMase]

Haha, oh dear, i cant imagine that ended well. I've recently started using the long range machine gun, which is pretty awesome, ive got to say, looking forward to creating the flamethrower! >:)

What you can do is once the zombies start coming. Run into the safe house and close the door. A few zombies trickle in from the back room but the zombies outside will crowd around the door. Most likely you will see one of the Fat Zombie that explode. What you have to do is open the door and quickly throw a Molotov at the Fat Zombie and it will explode and kill all the zombies that are crowded around the door. Its a bit tricky on your first try but afterwards you will become a pro at it. Hope this helps you out.
