So our latest PSN Mini, “OMG-Z” is available now, but only on PS+ for the moment. The rest of us will have to wait another couple of weeks for the infection to spread to the main PSN store.
I’m sure all you PS+ users out there are having a great time splattering zombies and spraying their guts all over the screen, but to help you max your kills, here are some top tips from our test team:
Learn the effects of each Zombie
Most of the Zombies will take out others close by, but if you want to really spread the damage make sure there are a few Police Zombies or Soldier Zombies in the cluster you target as they will fire their guns spreading the destruction to new clusters of Zombies.
Police Zombies
One of the best upgrades during the early game is the Police Zombie. Getting this upgrade to level 3 gives you “Bullet Penetration”. This means that each Police Zombie can shoot more zombies after they are triggered.
Hitting Bilious Zombies
These will dissolve into a pool of acid, killing any zombie that walks through it. So make sure you kill them at a place where lots of zombies are going to walk through. Its always disappointing to see an empty pool of acid when there are perfectly good Zombies that could be dissolving in it.
Oil drums
Whilst shooting Zombies is fun, there’s nothing quite as satisfying as setting them on fire. On levels which have oil drums, target these to create Zombie Torches. Once alight they will spread through the crowd causing havoc amongst their fellow zombies.
There are still a few more tricks to the Zombie killing trade but I’ll leave you to find them for yourselves (although I might be persuaded to dispense some more advice in the comments if you ask nicely enough ;-))
