Use Upgrade Kits
Upgrade kits are integral to progressing through the game. Players will find kits in each
chapter
and can use them to improve both weapons and armor. The thing to keep in mind is that these
can't be
used as soon as they are found, but players must wait until they stumble upon a workbench.
Quests
will continue to increase in difficulty, so it is a good idea to use these kits as soon as
players
can.
Pick The Right Upgrades
Just because the player has the ability to upgrade, doesn't mean that they should just upgrade
their
weapons randomly. There are specific kinds of upgrades that players should try to prioritize
first.
Any upgrades that add element damage to weapons are the first that players should strive for.
This
will give weapons the ability to cause more damage, and will also allow damage to spread out to
other zombies as well. These upgrades will provide the advantage that players need.
Grenades And Stomping Are A Godsend
It is incredibly important to learn to use grenades and the stomping mechanic to take care of
zombies. Grenades are perfect for clearing out large groups of enemies and can really come in a
pinch in overwhelming situations. Players should try their best to use grenades whenever they
see an
opportunity, but shouldn't overuse. Stomping is a new game mechanic that makes life a lot
simpler in
Zombie Army 4. When players don't want to waste precious ammo on stragglers, stomping on downed
enemies is a perfect solution. Just slide into a zombie or knock them down with melee before
taking
them out with a quick stomp.
Empty Your Lungs Efficiently
Using the Empty Lung mechanic is an extremely effective mechanic for players to keep in mind. It
can
help take out bosses and single enemies but is honestly a waste to use against hordes. This
mechanic
may make aiming a lot easier, but it will add a lot of time to each shot. It is a much better
idea
to switch to a secondary weapon to take out bigger hordes of enemies. Save this mechanic for
lining
up headshots on more difficult enemies.
Save Medkits
Medkits are an extremely limited resource and players are only capable of carrying a small
amount.
Typically these items will only be found in checkpoints and safehouses. These should be saved
for
extremely dire situations instead of wasted for every little injury. Save them up for when they
are
needed.
Use Melee
Melee attacks may not sound like they would be capable of doing much, but the players should
definitely use melee attacks ever so often. This helps players stay alive for much longer.
Players
can use melee takedowns are by far one of the most powerful attacks that players can land but
require players to perform ten melee attacks before the attack is charged up. The upside is that
if
players can land this attack they will earn both health and ammo to help them in their journey.
Play As A-Team
It is possible to play Zombie Army 4 solo, but the game truly shines when playing cooperatively.
Teaming up with other players is the best way to play, and players will get much more out of the
game. The thing about playing with someone else though is that players will need to learn how to
play as a team. If the player has a good weapon or full ammo it may be a better idea to let
their
partner pick up an upgrade kit or supplies. This makes sure that the whole team is stocked up
and
more prepared for the struggles ahead.
