āWhen the apocalypse hits, itās either you take down zombiesāor get eaten alive.ā
In Pixel Combat: Zombies Strike, one of HeyFunās top pixel-style shooters, you're holed up in a house being overrun by zombies. Sounds simple? Just survive. But we all know thatās easier said than done. This ultimate guide is here to help you level up from noob to legendary zombie slayer.
š« 1. Weapon Selection Guide
The first rule of survival? Arm yourself well.
š„ Recommended Early-Game Weapons:
- Axe (melee): No ammo needed, great for slow zombies.
- Pistol: Fast-firing but low damage, great for headshot practice.
- Double-barrel Shotgun: High damage, clutch-saver in close range.
š„ Mid to Late-Game Power Weapons:
- Flamethrower: Deals AOE burn damage, perfect for zombie waves.
- Minigun: Wide coverage, high DPS, perfect for late-game.
- Chainsaw: Close-quarters king, especially in tight corridors.
š ļø Upgrade Priority Tips:
Go for Mag Size > Reload Speed > Critical Rate
Survivability increases dramatically when you reload faster and fire longer.
š§± 2. Defense Strategy & Map Exploration
Youāre not aloneāyouāve got a base. So defend it like your life depends on it (because it does).
- Board up doors to delay zombie entry.
- Use furniture to block halls, funnel enemies into kill zones.
- Leave a controlled āchokepointā to manage spawn flow and shooting rhythm.
š Hidden Room Hotspots:
- Basement: High-tier weapons and bosses hang out here.
- Master Bedroom: Loads of loot and mission-critical items.
- Secret Tunnels: Progress the story and find elite gear.
šÆ Tip: Explore the basement first mid-game. It usually has time machine components or key bosses.
š§ 3. Zombie Types & How to Handle Them
Each zombie type has its own annoying gimmickāhereās how to deal with each:
- Normal Zombies: Low HP, slow. ā Use melee to conserve ammo.
- Fast Zombies: Quick runners. ā Use pistols or fast reload weapons, aim for the head.
- Exploding Zombies: Suicide bombers. ā Shoot from afar! Donāt let them near you.
- Armored Zombies: High defense. ā Go for headshots or use high-penetration weapons.
- Invisible Zombies: Only visible up close. ā Use audio cues and shadows to predict their location.
- Boss Zombies: Tanky, multiple skills. ā Use crowd control, grenades, and move constantly.
š§ Pro Tip: Wear headphonesāzombie footsteps and ambushes are easier to detect that way.
š„ 4. Boss Fight Playbook
Every few waves, youāll face a major boss fight. Hereās how to win:
1ļøā£ Berserker Butcher
- Attack: Spinning axe sweep.
- Counter: Keep distance and kite around obstacles.
2ļøā£ Infected Engineer
