Dead Island. Strategy guide.


What is up people ?

As you may or may not know I'm a real zombie game fan. Zombies in the old movies have been portrayed as slow moving type creatures wrapped in toilet paper (Or am I thinking of mummies ?) anyway you know what I mean. I highly recommend such games as dead island or the last of us and if you're an inexperienced gamer who has never played a zombie game it may be tough for you to prepare yourself for such an unbelievable journey across the zombie infested wasteland. Trust me I know. 

In this post I'm going to give you some pointers when it comes to playing zombie games which require you to gather supplies, craft weapons and interact with other people. Rule number one always consider your supplies. It is a post apocalyptic world so don't expect for supermarkets to be open 24/7 just for your everyday needs. No. Ammunition is scarce and you can't just go around thinking you can go around shooting walls and testing out your weapons even if there are no enemies in sight. Make every shot count and be aware of what you have in possession. 

Rule number two keep your weapons in good shape. When playing a zombie game it is an essential process for you to keep your weapons maintained in good working conditions. Keep your eye on that weapon meter. You never know, one day you could be strolling through the park thinking this is simple I haven't been attacked yet and boom five zombies jump out at you and your weapon is in such bad shape that it barely inflicts any damage on the enemy at that point you are screwed.

Rule number three. Keep good relations. You never know when you're going to need someone's help. You may think that its funny to punch a bystander and say to yourself that was fun, but as the mission progresses you find out that he or she was a vital asset to the completion of the mission. Yeah I know I've been there done that.

Rule number four. Find yourself a safe house in which you can regularly resupply on ammunition, replenish your health and lay low while the zombies lurk outside only waiting to feast on your flesh. Make sure that you establish several outposts so that you're not stuck when one day you decide to go all the way to the other side of the map. That reminds me over to...

Rule number five. Food and Medicine. Always make sure that you have plenty of food and medicine before setting off on your awesome adventures. Food will get your health up slightly but you do have to be prepared for a worst case scenario. Medicine is truly one of those things that gives you the necessary confidence to explore the world around you.

Rule number six. Don't be an idiot be smart when dealing with these monsters. I know that no one wants to lose all of their hard earned supplies to a stupid huge looking zombie. Try to use stealth as often as you can. When an opportunity presents itself take it but follow your conscience. If you feel the timing wasn't right well then it wasn't. Zombie games require your full attention so take your time and savour the moment. 

Okay rule number seven. This is one that I still often struggle with. Pack light. You want to act quickly and you never want to be in a situation when you're encumbered. Cardio is one of the most important things that your character may posses so consider it and if the option to choose a character with incredible stamina is there don't hesitate and pick him or her immediately.

These are my seven rules when it comes to zombie games I hoped that they will or have helped you out and thanks for checking this out.
