These 7 tips will keep you alive during your next round of Zombie Tag.

1) Choose your loadout carefully.

2) Know your weapon.

If you know the personality of your weapon, when it will jam, and how to get accuracy out of it, then you just raised your odds tenfold.

3) Practice with it

A single-shot pistol in the hands of a practiced marksman is worth more than a clip-fed gun being fired wildly. Get some friends together with their own guns and have a nerf gun fight to practice hitting moving targets while also learning how to move with your gun.

4) Remember the golden ratio: 3-to-1

One human can take on about three zombies before you have trouble. If it is only one or two, just take them down and save your energy. But don’t forget to…

7) …but be brave enough to travel alone

As the infection spreads, there will be more zombies and less people. You’ll want to be fast and sneaky. Don’t be afraid to go lone wolf as the situation gets more dangerous.
