So, I'm bored, so for Halloween, I'll give some people some apocalypse advice.

 

1. Fire is a crappy weapon. If you thought you were going to roast the zombie with a flamethrower, then you might as well dig your own grave. Though it doesn't take long for an alive person to succumb to getting burned, it actually takes an extremely long time for a body to get completely roasted to the level that it's unusable. If that wasn't bad enough, consider the fact that the zombie is probably going to start a serious fire. Oh, and it's still chasing you.

 

2. Silencers don't completely silence your guns. Generally silencers are used to reduce muzzle flash (which will easily indicate their location) and attempt to reduce some of the noise (a decent silencer would reduce a third of the sound) so that the user can safely shoot without damaging his or her own ears, as a gunshot is loud enough to cause ear damage. The undead is probably going to still hear your gunfire in such a deserted area.

 

3. Pay attention to your own people, as well as the things outside. Keep people hopeful and deal with everyone's problems; a human is more deadly than a zombie if not dealt with. This especially goes with injured and infected people, along with newcomers; check their bodies thoroughly for bites or suspected injuries. I recommend doing so every two days, when new people come into your base, and when people return from scavenging. 

 

4. Don't stay in the same place for an excessive amount of time. The only exception to this is if everyone in your group is a hundred percent sure that the base is strongly fortified, and the base itself has prevailed from zombie attacks. Also consider food, water, and shelter; if your group finds it difficult to sustain these requirements, then it's time to leave. If you're staying somewhere in the city or a small scaled camp, leave within the month or when you suspect that the area is prone to the undead. Camping somewhere unsafe just as easily makes you zombie buffet.

 

5. Never go on the offensive. You, let alone anyone else, is never going to beat nature, and the same goes for massacring zombies. Don't try to find a vaccine or cure; you'll most likely get everyone in your group killed or infected. Don't provoke the undead, unless you're considering suicide.

 

6. Volley firing and line firing is an ideal formation for defense or clearing rooms for large scale groups. Organized group firing can prove much more useful for defensive operations against the "Z"s. This is also good for clearing rooms for temporary bases and such.

 

7. Don't shoot at the head in close range. If the zombie or group of zombies are closing up on you, you should never aim for the head. Chances are, you're going to get yourself infected by ingesting the blood. Blunt weapons are preferred for close range combat. Sharp melee weapons are also fine, but take notice to weight and reliability; sometimes, one chop to the head isn't enough. If melee weapons aren't on your hand, then your best choice is to either run or decapitate.

 

8. Don't hesitate to kill anyone. If you're reluctant to kill that loved one of yours, remember that the person is not longer the person you know; he or she is undead. Don't even take him or her back to your base, all tied up, so you can find your little "cure". It's most likely not going to happen, at least not without killing everyone else. Just fucking shoot.

 

9. If you think something is dead, it's probably not. There are the kind that play dead and bite you on the leg. A knife stab or a bullet round should be inflicted to make sure that person is completely dead.

 

10. Stay away from windows. They are the places you will most likely get caught and dragged by zombies outside your base. In fact, it's strongly advised that you find a base with the least windows as possible and as highly elevated as possible. Board anything you suspect make be prone to zombie attacks.

 

11. Airplanes and ships are terrible transportation devices. With civilization broke, it would be impossible to forecast any bad weather or find a place to dock or land. Even more, there's the high possibility that one person on that airplane or ship is infected; if that happens, then it's zombie dinner time.

 

12. It only takes one shot to kill a zombie. Don't waste your bullets. Fully automatic weapons are useless; bolt actions, pump actions, lever actions, and semi-automatics are the ideal weapons in this situation. Throwing knives, bows, and crossbows are also good, as you can recycle and reuse the projectiles, as well as it being near silent. However, you must have good experience on these kind of weaponry.
