Your best bet when it comes to picking a weapons loadout is to take the machine gun and the shotgun.

The machine gun holds plenty of ammunition (ideal for mowing down large groups of mummies).

The shotgun will easily clear the path right ahead of you with one clean shot. If you want your shots to pack more power, always choose the shotgun. Alternatively, you might want to check out the crossbow - it's both effective and fast-loading.

With Pair of Boots equipped, you'll run even faster, although though you'll need to maneuver much more quickly around groups of mummies to avoid getting hit.

Goggles will make things much easier to see through sandstorms - and considering the first one pops up a few seconds into the first level, you'll need them.

Holster lets you carry more than one weapon at a time. As the mummies begin to fill up the screen more and more, this upgrade fast becomes essential

Evasion is the best way to get around the mummies. If you run around them well beyond their range, you won't get hit - it's as simple as that.
