Gameplay Strategy Tips
Tip 1: Generators are used to light up specific areas (not so useful in daytime but the sound of the generator can be a great distraction).
Tip 2: Windows and doors can be destroyed using melee attacks. The axes and sledgehammers you can pick up will destroy doors in one hit, even barricaded ones.
Tip 3: Speaking of doors, shooting a door can cause it to swing open. On top of this, if you sprint at a door with a charged melee, you will open it much faster and are able to essentially run into a room without waiting for it to fully open.
Tip 4: Doors with a plank near them can be barricaded.
Tip 5: Doors open quieter if you open them whilst crouching.
Tip 6: Any lanterns on the map that you can turn on and off (not ones you can pick up) can be shot and will explode, having the same effect a firebomb does. This works really well with lanterns that are suspended, as they will fall and damage anyone underneath.
Tip 7: If you melee an armored zombie in the legs, it will break their leg armor off, causing them to charge at you much slower.
Tip 8: Red barrels explode when shot, and yellow barrels burst on fire when shot.
Tip 9: Flares can be put out by being melee'd or shot.
Tip 10: The dogs inside the kennels can be shot and killed, but not melee'd.
Tip 11: You can climb inside chicken kennels!
Tip 12: Firebombs will kill crows (Still makes noise but interesting).
Tip 13: Crouching through any hanging chains or broken glass/cans will produce little to no noise.
Tip 14: At a resupply point, nobody can take ammo from a box that has already been opened.
Tip 15: You can catch a downed player on fire to prevent them from being revived.
Tip 16: There is a small amount of bullet penetration in the game, meaning you can shoot enemies through wood and sheet metal.
Tip 17: When hives are killed their locusts will die as well.
Tip 18: You can use first aid kits to heal your partner.
Tip 19: Text chat can be seen by enemy players if they are close, similar to how you can hear players using voice chat if you are a short distance from them.
