Okay, when the countdown is Get Ready... 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, GO you need to start sprinting to be the first to get a gun and kill anyone surrounding you. Every house in alpha has an Alicepack and a gun. Get both and run to bank (really it depends on how close you are to it). Get the best gun and use that. Check where the border is closing in on. If Bank... You are in luck. There are 2 good tricks here. Either use 5 metal scraps to make 2 metal sheets and then make a door:

Or once a door is on bank go to fire station roof. The people will be by door tracting it with their sights (hopefully). If they think your in bank... jump of roof and kill them while they are looking at the metal door.

If you follow these directions... you probably will be able to win.

Let's say you follow the same starting off strategy and realize it is ending at big brown house. Go to big brown house. Carefully go up the stairs and make a door. You can put one or if you REALLY have a lot of metal you can do this:
Left Door: Stairs
Right Door: Bedroom
Center Door: Another Room

Open stair door and Bedroom door. Go in third-person and his Q to look left. If someone comes up... Try to spray them!!!

Lets say you have no door and someone is coming up the stairs. While they are going up the stairs jump off the roof while prone (you don't want to learn the hard way [breaking a leg]) and kill him while he is searching for you upstairs.

Note: This trick can be reversed very easily so be careful!

Oooh... THIS... Is a hard one... Honestly your best bet is getting the armor on the little spinny thing (I am sorry I don't go to parks a lot) and hide behind a tree... Hopefully you have a good weapon like a Maplestrike. You can camp in Big Brown, Big White, Or Bank until the border comes.
You want a picture of this scenario? I don't have one so here have this:

If you are at grocer, here is your best bet: Hide behind a counter with an automatic gun. Place plates in the doorway to make sure they come in only one way. Blast them when they least expect it. Strategy #2? You can't walk throught the grocer shelves but you can look right through them in third person! DO that and when someone comes... IDK... Shoot them???

Basically the same strategy as the Big Brown House Strategy (they are basically the same size and shape).

YES!!! We are done with alpha! Let's move on to the final 2! Okay... I recommend camping in the barn with 2 large metal plates blocking entrances (optional)

Look at the doorway. It is blocked.
If it is a 1v1... go prone and slide out when the border comes. Check your surroundings and try to kill them (they probably are in the house).

Also... If someone else does that strategy... hide in the cornfield/wheatfield whatever for camoflauge. Then when they are in the house... sneak attack!!!

If it is ending at lake, get a secondary. Peacemaker or Honeybadger are the nescassary items (if you don't win before the border is in the lake). The Viper is a LAST RESORT!!! Stay underwater but look at them in third-person!!! Then pop up and spray!!! Get the Shadowstalker and snipe them if you have time.
