Just like I did for survivors, heres a list of good tricks to know when playing the side of the undead. Have fun wiping out humanity!

1. Match Beginning
Remember that at the start of each new round all survivors are stuck with nothing but a melee weapon and a pistol with no extra ammo. This is when they are the most venerable. The survivors always begin searching the map for weapons before heading somewhere to hold up. Use this to your advantage. Wait by where you know shotguns and magnums are at and pop out when the survivor (still barely armed) comes looking for them.

2. Hiding Weapons
If you see a shotgun or AK sitting on a shelf of on the floor somewhere, try hitting it into a corner or under something so no survivors who come by can find it.

3. Traps
Try knocking a powerful weapon in plain sight for survivors, then when they come to pick it up, attack!

4. Shadows
Use humanitys natural fear of the dark to your advantage. Try hiding within shadows and watch as survivors walk by without even knowing your there.

5. Rushing
Teamwork as a zombie IS important! Be sure to plan rushes (everybody attacks one point at once) with your fellow undead. This tactic almost always works. If possible, attack from 2 different entrances.

6. Waste Ammo
Try ducking and jumping around infront of survivors to make them try to shoot you, then after taking a good amount of damage hide around a corner and heal. Rinse and repeat til the survivor has no ammo left!

7. Stalking
If someone has a good weapon but is all alone, dont try a direct attack. Follow behind them slowly without them knowing your there, as soon as they find a corner, run at them!

8. Distracting Sprays
try posting a spray with alot of words right inside a doorway. Most survivors will pause for a few seconds to examine this giving you a perfect chance to attack.

9. Finding Hiding Survivors
be sure to check everywhere possible, especially in the pitch black and under staircases. These are popular spots to hide.

10. Towers
If you cant reach a higher spot where survivors are held up (such as a roof or on top of a fence) try having one zombie duck and everyone uses him as a step-ladder. Add multiple zombies for higher humans.

11. Don't Be a ????
Dont stand in other zombies ways, or try to guard a survivor from other zombies. Everyone will think your a ????, and you will be.

Disagreed with 6 and 8

You shound take cover and regenerate the moment you are shot to ensure you're not killed. It also decreases the regeneration time.

and you can't place sprays as Zombie, I don't know what server you play on though.

As for 2.

If I'm not mistaken, weapons respawn/relocate if they have been knocked away by a zombie, that is, when a survivor hasn't touched it yet.

Here's a tip: if there's one guy around the corner/up the stairs/whatever and eight zombies, don't sit there with your mouth open when half your mates charge. Don't charge and then backpedal when you get hurt a widdle bit. Don't stop. Charge. ????it.

Always charge and generally harrass the humans... dont give them an inch. Remember... you want their brainssss!!

Cool guide, Atomic. =D

Another thing..

- When zombies get ready to rush, if you are the 1st zombie, don't back down, just keep pressing forward, no matter if you die.

Nope, goes right where a zombie hits it and stays there.

The weapon does respawn in the previous position, but it'll be where you knock it for awhile. At the beginning of the game when everyone's running around not really paying attention you can knock a gun away and no one will be bothered to ask if someone else took it.

As for ducking and jumping about like a fairy, that's generally a really good idea. If they're shooting at your head and you duck, they'll fire a few shots over you. A bullet does 14 damage, so you need at least 15 shots on a zombie to kill it. If they have a USP or a PPK it's pretty much guaranteed that you'll still be alive in time to squeeze off at least one hit before they reload, but you have to make sure that they miss enough.

Heh. Rushing to survivors in shadows make for hilarious results. Heard a guy scream on his mic as I rushed him from a corner. So much fun.
