This is meant to be a short guide, detailing small things that you may or may not already know to help you along your game. If you got anything you may want to add to this, just post it down in the comments and I'll pop it into the guide. Later on, I may include found easter eggs as well, and organize this into proper catagories such as vehicles, guns, combat, etc.


1). In the "tutorial" area, you will not get fatigued until you cross the ravine. Which makes it great to level up Marcus before you head out.

2). The Broken bridge can be jumped in a vehicle.

3). Killing Zombies with the car door, will not damage the vehicle.

4). Stopping suddenly while driving will throw zombies off of your vehicle.

5). Weapons will make a certain amount of noise, depending on the caliber they use.

6). The Courthouse will occasionally stock grenades or other throwable weapons.

7). Abandoned Sites/Cabins/Camp Sites are great places to search for guns/backpacks.

8). When making an outpost, leave one set of resources. Which will provide a small income of that resource. You can then take the resource after the outpost is set up, and still get that income.

9). Infestations can be easily dealt with firebombs or other throwables. Simple run around the house and throw them into the windows.

10). If, too many Infestations are left around when exiting the game, people may disappear from your group.

11). If you need to get back to base quickly, switch to another character, and then switch back to the one you where playing. NOTE: This will drop a rucksack if you're carrying one.

12). Distraction Missions can be easily completed by pulling up in a car and honking the horn.

13). If you hit a bloater while driving a vehicle. It'll infect the vehicle for a short time, and do damage to you while you're in it.

14). Hitting Sprint and Jump while fighting a zombie will drop kick them and drop to them to the ground for a quick finish.

15). If a door is locked, instead of breaking it open. Look around for a broken window to jump through.
