General Tips
- The timer and save limitations are gone in normal mode. If you want to face that challenge, choose Nightmare Mode when starting a new game.
- Rescuing survivors is a great way to accumulate experience points.
- Consider pursuing health upgrades first, as finding food can be difficult at times. Also, later levels allow for health regeneration.
- Keep a couple of food items with you at all times, just in case.
- Always try to make combo weapons. They're more powerful than regular weapons and also looks ridiculously awesome.
- Flashing lights indicate a car that can be used.
- Try to clear out as many safe zones as you can. While there, you can spawn combo weapons you've already crafted.
