Healing survivors

If your having trouble with survivors getting low on health and dying while your escorting them back to the security room, carry enough health items for yourself and a survivor or two. Orange juice and coffee creamer are good choices because they heal fairly well, and nothing is needed to make them.

Equipping survivors

When giving survivor weapons, try to give them blades such as katanas or cleavers. The mini-chainsaws Adam uses would also be good, but remember to switch them for something else before going into the security room. Also, if you prefer guns, shotguns and a submachine gun would also be good except for the stray bullets that hit you.

Always give survivors shotguns. They will kill the zombies around them and you. They help each other out and very little damage is done if they hit you or each other.

Give survivors the best weapon possible because they do not waste ammunition and the item never breaks. This is useful if you want them to shoot all the zombies while you do something else such as Boss fights. Use this for Cletus. Focus on Cletus while a survivor such as Burt or any other one shoots the zombies.

Escorting survivors

When escorting survivors, use waypoints (go into aim mode and press Y) instead of having them follow you. This makes them go directly to the waypoint instead of walking around trying to get to you. This also gives you time to help any stragglers. Make sure to set the waypoint in a safe area and do not stray too far from it unless you absolutely have to.

Saving Greg Simpson

After you defeat Adam the clown and stop the roller coaster, a Willamette employee will be on the ride. His name is Greg Simpson, and he will tell you he knows a shortcut back to Paradise Plaza. You will follow him into the women's restroom, where he will stand near the sink and say "Go right through here and you'll be in Paradise Plaza". It is difficult to understand what he is talking about. Jump up on the sink and an icon will appear that reads "Paradise Plaza". You now can simply leap back and forth from the women's restrooms in Paradise Plaza and Wonderland Plaza. Not only is this a useful shortcut, but it is also quite helpful in getting survivors back to the security room safely.

Hostile Survivors Escort mission

On the third day before you start the Bomb Run mission, make sure you visit the "Huntin' Shack" in the North Plaza. However do not go charging in. There are three people inside who will keep shooting at you. Make sure you have a picture of the air duct that leads to the Security Room going in. First, open the door and walked in a little bit. You will get barraged by bullets. Turn your back to them and the bullets will make you stumble out the shop. One of them will come to the door to see how you are. Speak to him but do not go too far in. Talk to Jonathan and Frank eventually mentions the Security Room. This is when they will demand a picture of the air vent as proof. Once they have seen the picture, they will join your group. This is a reasonably easy escort as they all have guns. Take them through the Leisure Park. It is quicker and by now the Convicts should be easy to kill. Make sure you take Brett's machine gun from him before you go in the Security Room as it is a very good weapon.

Keep clothes

If you die and choose to save and start a new game, you will be wearing whatever items of clothing you had when you saved. This means you could be naked except for your boxers, wearing children's clothing, etc.

Take no falling damage

When falling from a height that would cause damage, use the Knee Drop skill if you have unlocked it. The first benefit is that you will not take any falling damage. The second is that you will squish any zombies that you would have landed on.

Skip photographer's second mini mission on first day

During the first photo contest with the other photographer early in the game, take the first picture as he instructs you. Then, wait for him to do his "signature pose" and snap a picture of him. If the picture you take is worth 700 or more PP, then the second mini mission is skipped.

Alternate Cletus intermission sequence

Use the .50 cal from the convicts to defeat Cletus easily and get an alternate intermission sequence.

Get back your suit

If at anytime you switch into an outfit not of your liking, you can get back you default outfit in the janitor's room, underneath the stairs leading to the heliport.

Defusing the bombs in Act 7-2

To easily defuse the bombs in Act 7-2 you must work in advance. There are three things you can do to make the case easier to finish. First, you can make Quickstep juices in the food court from the milk, yogurt and wine in the blenders. Use the juices in the tunnel to speed through the zombies and Carlito. Second, you can get the maintenance key early by going in the maintenance warehouse. You can use the key in Act 7-2 to get to the car in Paradise Plaza to gain an edge with a car that can survive more of Carlito's attacks. Finally, fight Carlito with small chainsaws from the clown Boss in Wonderland Plaza. Get close, hack away, and watch the cinematic of Carlito's crash.

Infinity mode: Easy survival

When starting, make sure you have the Real Mega Buster which is unlocked by getting the Zombie Genocider achievement (killing 53,594 zombies). Start out in the Entrance Plaza and get the book from the bookstore on the top floor that enhances the healing ability of food, which is found near the cash register. Next, get the book from the bookstore in Wonderland Plaza. It is located on the top floor and is the first book you see when walking in. The last book you need the one located just outside the hardware store in the North Plaza. When you have all those books you should see three little purple icons on food items when they are in your inventory. Food should heal 200% more than usual. With the books and the Real Mega Buster, you should be able to kill survivors easily, take their food, and last a long time. A good place to take refuge is on the fountain in Paradise Plaza. Look for the structure with the blue steps. Zombies have an extremely difficult time getting up there. This should allow you to stay safe until you need to go out and get more food.
