Tips for Winning

  • Watch out for Archer Walkers, as they attack at a Range of 0-3 and have the same priority as Walkers, meaning they can be a constant threat.
  • When dealing with multiple targets in the same Priority Order, discuss with other players to decide which zombie to eliminate first, especially if Archer Walkers are present.
  • When activated, Archer Walkers prioritize attacking the Zone with the most Survivors or the noisiest Zone. Use this to your advantage to plan your movements and avoid crowding in vulnerable Zones.
