1. Weapons

Weapons are your primary means of survival. They can be upgraded at Duke's workshop using Lei. Each weapon has a base variant and may have a custom (fully upgraded) version unlocked later.

#### 1.1 Handguns

Synergy: Use handguns for precise headshots to stagger enemies, then finish with a melee or shotgun. The LZ Answerer with infinite ammo is a top-tier endgame weapon.

#### 1.2 Shotguns

Tip: Shotguns are essential for Lycan hordes and stronger enemies like Dimitrescu’s daughters. Always keep a few shells handy.

#### 1.3 Rifles

Tip: Rifles are versatile. The WCX is a beast with infinite ammo potential.

#### 1.4 Magnums (Special Weapons)

Note: Magnum ammo is scarce. Use only on bosses or mini-bosses.

#### 1.5 Grenade Launcher (Explosives)

• Grenade Launcher (GM79): Found in the village near the church (flooded area). Fires grenades (explosive, flash, pipe bombs). Requires Grenade Rounds. Essential for crowds and shielded enemies. Upgradable for capacity and reload.


#### 1.6 Melee Weapons


• Knife (default): Basic slash, low damage. Can be upgraded via Duke (combat knife) to a lethal weapon after finishing the game.


• Combat Knife: Unlocked via bonus content. High damage, can stun enemies.

Synergy: Use knife to finish downed enemies or conserve ammo.

4. Key Items & Quest Items

These items are needed to progress the story or unlock areas.

Note: Collect all treasure pieces to get two powerful weapons from Duke.

5. Collectibles

These are optional but unlock bonus content and achievements.

6. Currencies

• Lei: Main currency. Earn from selling treasures, defeating enemies, finding in bins. Use at Duke to buy weapons, upgrades, healing, cooking boosts, and maps.


• CP (Completion Points): Earned from challenges (e.g., beat game on Hardcore, kill 100 enemies). Exchange at the Extra Content Shop for infinite ammo, new weapons, and models.

7. Treasures & Sellable Items

Treasures are valuable items with no gameplay function other than selling for Lei. Some are required for crafting (e.g., Crystal Skull? No, sellable).

Advice: Sell all treasures to Duke for immediate Lei. Don’t hoard for “later” – you need Lei for weapon upgrades and cooking boosts.

8. Special Equipment & Upgrades

Upgrades at Duke:

• Weapon Power (increases damage), Capacity, Reload Speed, Fire Rate (some weapons).


• Cooking Boosts: Health, Damage, Defense (temporary).


• Treasure Map (permanent map marker).

9. Infinite Ammo Weapons (Endgame)

After completing the game, you can unlock infinite ammo for specific weapons via the Extra Content Shop (requires CP).

Strategy: Unlock infinite ammo for the SYG-12 or WCX first for a stress-free New Game+.

10. Summary & Synergies

• Early Game: Prioritize LEMI with upgrades. Collect treasures for Lei. Save green herbs for emergencies.


• Mid Game: Invest in SYG-12 or WCX. Use pipe bombs for crowds. Unlock cooking boosts before bosses.


• Late Game: Magnums are key for bosses. Finish collecting all treasure pieces for the best weapons.


• New Game+: Unlock infinite ammo for your favorite weapon. Combine with damage cooking boost for maximum carnage.
