Tips & Tricks
The scrapyard is a very good place to stock up on gear, but it is also very dangerous. It is dark there, so you may not be able to see zombies coming. Also, you can easily get trapped while looking around. Approach this area with caution.
The police station has a lot of loot but is the most dangerous area on the map. Zombies spawn frequently, and there are many confined spaces and dead ends that can trap you. Although there are three exits, they are usually blocked by groups of zombies. Avoid this building unless you are in a large, well-equipped group.
The field and the areas around the barn and farmhouse are quite open, however there is a lot of tall grass, making it difficult to see zombies. However, it is fairly easy to escape them as it is extremely flat and open, and there are many haystacks which provide a vantage point, as well as a lot of chests.
The church, graveyard and school have a fair amount of loot and are also quite open, making them good locations to visit.
The M16 can be fired a lot faster than holding down right click by simply right clicking very fast. This makes the gun even more useful against large hordes of zombies, possibly even better than the shotgun if you have a lot of ammo.
Zombies do not spawn inside the rescue zone once the rescue event begins.
Certain buildings and locations give more of certain types of loot. For example, the barn gives a lot of food.
