[Nineblade]

I know it's early days but has anyone got any tips to share? Weapon selection, tactics etc

[thereason]

Melee the tank to get his attention - THEN RUN!

[Nineblade]

Melee the tank to get his attention - THEN RUN!

That's a given

[Gasman]

See Tank, run like fuck. See witch, make like a spy and creep. Gobbed on - melee like fuck. Oh, and don't shoot the cars (Deadly made me put that in).

[mark]

Stay the fuck together (can't stress this enough), if one guy lags behind wait for him (if he is caught go back IN A GROUP!).
It is always a good idea to have one in the group that can handle the hunting rifle (they can often pick off most special zombies even before anyone sees them)
If one guy is hurt badly and one is on temp health give the temp health guy the pills he needs them more because the other guy will get temp health if he is knocked down.
Shotgun is not always the way to go.
Tell people if you are throwing a pipebomb (dumb if another guy is doing the same thing )
Watch your backs, if one person is always watching your backs you'll never get mobbed by a bunch of zombies coming from behind.
Melee special zombies when they are on your friends:

• Tank will lose interest in your friend but go for you so RUN!
• Smoker will lose grip (this happens when you melee the person that is being pulled)
• Hunter will fall off (You should be shot multiple times for not using melee on hunters!)
• Boomer, get him away shoot him.
• Witch, nothing happens but good luck.

This is a wall of text ^^

My 3 top tips are -

The best way of sorting witches out is to have one person get their attention and then have the other 3 block her off as she's running towards the person that scared her. The other way is set her on fire with a molly and the give her some autoshotgun love whilst backing away. Works 8 times out of 10.

When surrounded by a hoard alternate between melee and shotgun fire to get some breathing room.

If you choose to go infront of everyone else, please duck.

[mark]

Oh yeah, do like a pond and DUCK!

[DeadlyAvenger]

Alright, some of these points might have been made above but I can't be bothered to pick and choose them.

- MEELEEEEEEE, i think it's one of the most powerful tools in the game. it causes NO friendly fire damage. you can melee out of almost any situation without causing any damage to your team. hunter on survivor - melee, hunter jumping at survivor - melee, smoker got you - melee. boomers will go back surprisingly far if you melee them, so long as no-one shoots them in the mean time!
- A good tip with a horde in close combat situations is for the person at the front to crouch and just constantly melee and have the rest of your team behind you shooting them as you knock them back. works especially well in corridors and trains and stuff...
- molotov flames spread. yes, a tank may be coming, yes you may hit the tank with the flames and make a nice firework display. but if your survivor gets knocked down onto the floor and yeah...much burning & death. burning....and death.
- statistically you are MUCH less likely to cause team damage with the hunting rifle / assault rifle.   you have to think about aim more, especially in panicky situations like a hunter attack.
- i've also noticed that you can still reload whilst meleeing, so if you run outta bullets hit the reload key then melee away!
- said before - but if at the front, crouch so we can shoot over you
- stay together, this means 2 things - a) dont run off and b) go back for stragglers
- do not activate any switches, fuel pumps, bridges, cranes etc. UNTIL THE WHOLE TEAM IS READY. people might be low on ammo, fighting hordes, low health, placing explosives and would like a few seconds to recover / regain their sanity before continuing.
- the explosive gas canisters and petrol cans are put there for a reason - use them
- if you're going to use pills, think "does anyone else need them more"
- if you're going to use a healthpack, think "does anyone else need them more"
- they put 4 healthpacks in the safe room for a reason, it means there is one each. don't steal other people's healthpacks or maybe they'll be less likely to save you from a horde/tank/witch. >.<

[Gasman]

Health packs! I'll consider myself told off again Sam.

[Ringelbeatz]

If the smoker catches a mate and you can't see him, shoot at his tongue.

[Terror]

Watch your party's back.

[DeadlyAvenger]

love ya really gas

[Mr Chug]

Shoot all your teammates in the back of the head as soon as the level starts. This will stop them doing the same to you later.

Ever the pragmatist, that's what you call forethought.

[Material]

Keep moving!

The AI director will eventually get bored and throw more hordes at you the longer you wait around, it gives you chance to breath but if you wait too long you'll just end up using more ammo and health than you have to in a given section.
