Combat Tactics Against Zombie Waves

Engaging Individual Zombies

When you encounter zombies, engage them one at a time when possible. Use your weapon to strike, then back away to create distance. Don't let multiple zombies surround you—this is how you take heavy damage quickly.

Use terrain to your advantage. Fight on stairs, in doorways, or on elevated ground where zombies have trouble reaching you. High ground gives you time to attack while they climb toward you.

Handling Waves and Groups

During objective encounters, you may face multiple zombies at once. Identify the most dangerous ones first—faster or armored variants—and focus fire on them. Use your best weapon and don't hesitate to use healing items if your health drops significantly.

If overwhelmed, retreat to a defensible position like a building or elevated area. Let zombies come to you rather than fighting in open space.

Resource Management During Combat

Don't waste ammunition or special items on weak zombies. Save powerful weapons and consumables for tough encounters or when you're in real danger.

After each fight, check for dropped items and loot. Zombies sometimes drop useful supplies. Eat food to restore health before moving to the next objective. Managing your resources between fights is as important as combat skill itself.
