Tactics and Strategy sharing

[LucK_]

Would love to hear some strategy techniques to get higher scores from the community. Just got to night 19 with 1,859,000 score.

I find that buying a weapon immediately and not using it is a good idea, zombies then drop ammo which you can store for later waves.

I also like setting up the powerful weapons (tesla coil/ laser) on turrets because they have prefect accuracy and don't miss.

Building a defense in a diamond shape is best as it allows you to get in and out to collect money and ammo, and stops the zombies getting in too.

Flamethrower is bad, don't use it.

4 days have passed, I guess no one knows how to play this game.

[Stana]

Not that well as you do sry

[Hutt]

yeah I like to get the shotgun early on then keep my eye open for sales and build up ammo. I also do the diamond and eventually layer outside with wood and inside with steel until the zombies just flat out overrun the wood. Haven't had much luck with flame or rocket launcher tbh. Usually start out with with shotty and mount assault and sniper rifle and hope for tesla/laser to be on sale. I usually die around 900k-1.2 mil mark cuz i always get greedy for money and ammo pickups tho lol. Just gotta spread your money coreectly between defense and offense (I've found i get way too defensive the later it gets I think). Would love more additions to this cuz I'm really enjoying this game and love learning new strats.

Tesla correct aim so its a good weapon to use. Laser is strong but the reload is too long, you can't play only with laser. Buy only Tesla and/or laser that way you get them faster and you will loot only usefull ammo.

I guess people don't want to share their knowlegde because there is a top score ranking.

I made a guide about tactics and strategy:

Now here's the way I do it with my friends: You are allowed to have 6 Items : Pistol, Chainsaw, Turret II , Electro Palisade, Tesla Coil , Laser . These are the only things u have to care about, ignore all the other ones, and buy them on sale only. Our record was night 27 or smthing like that, world rank ~ 180 . The reason why it is so easy for us is that we mount our turrets with pistols only (they cost 0$ and have infinite ammo).

[draykorinee]

Pistols have the worst sounds in game, but I see the merit of having just those, I've alwyas been a shotgun person as they die closer to the base so more pick ups, however I found later on they get too close and subsequently chew through barriers.

I make it above 3 million every time, highest being 3.967 mill. My tactic is I buy nothing but tesla coils and steel palisades. Use the pistal until you get 15k then buy tesla ASAP, still use pistol unless necessary to use tesla and collect ammo, then of course buy steal palisades and auto turrett mark II when on sale, i try to have palisades 2 thick at all times. Laser is a waste of money and ammunition i think. anyway 8 tesla's on turretts surrounding the lights then palisades around it 2 deep and you use your tesla to clear them off. Checker board the corners so you can get out. I dont build palisades until level 12-13

I don't know this happens with you guys, but I can't go through night 28 . Doesn't matter what strategie I use and most of times I think I do things pretty well. Save money, buy things only in sale (the game started to never put itens on sale when I save money) but the zombies become too overwhelming.
Maybe thats the devs idea. You shouldn't last too long...

i died at night 29 yesterday, with a bit of luck (they destroyed everything and i was surprisingly still alive).

and yes, after night 27/28 it's just unplayable. weapons and/or defense stuff seem useless.
i would be glad to see people talking about their strategies to go until levels 30/35

looking at the scores, there are either cheaters/glitchers, or something i'm missing

[Wags]

stand in a corner with a chainsaw. this forces them to only be able to attack you from limited directions, works well with friends playing. put points into health regen and health points, and pick-up range last you'll be able to pick up all the drops.

[Krafty]

My highest score is 2.4 million. I can get it everytime with ease. Currently working on better strategies.

[Tyrian Callows]

I usually play with one other person, sometimes we get a third. Two-layer diamond pattern Electro Barricades, Mk2 turrets inside the first layer at the cardinal points, Blasters and Lasers. I rock Max HP, two level Move Speed, then max Health Regen, then finish out Move Speed. I'm the chainsaw tank. One guy gets Pick-up Range and Move Speed. The other gets Regen and Move Speed. We run at least six nights with no buys, maybe get my chainsaw, but until we can get 12 Electro Barricades, we don't buy. From there we just kind of play it by ear. Usually around night 12 we can run up a second layer of Electro's and buy two shotguns with enough ammo for each. After that we try to focus getting the Mk2 turrets, especially if they're on sale. Blasters and Lasers mounted at opposite cardinal points. Best we've done is dedz on 24, 2.98mil.

[JJ Cree]

The most effective strategy I've discovered actually uses the Flamethrower as its main weapon. I was able to reach Night 28 and Score 3,846,000 Solo.

I've uploaded the run to Youtube. If you want to watch it - click HERE.

[N0P3]

Yeah, don't care for the flamethrower either.
Was having a bit of fun with the sniper and assault rifles though.

Probably yes to all of the above.
