Just talk about what tactics you use when you are playing Dead Frontier. Do you run in with a chainsaw or do you just pick off the undead one at a time?

My stuff:
Weapons:
STEEL 090 chainsaw
Katana
Beta RX4

Weapon 1 tactics:
I circle the undead and run this thing. Extremely effective but creates a lot of aggro.

Weapon 2 tactics:
I use this for looting. It is a strong melee weapon that doesn't create much news and is usually a one hit kill.

Weapon 3 tactics:
If a puking zombie or exploding one is after me, I will shoot it. I generally don't use this.

People still play Dead Frontier? Back when I was on it:
K-50M, the second best Chainsaw and a Battle Axe (ztype weeaboos)

Got sick of the fruitless looting and the pay2win it had.

I got the new second best saw in the game. The STEEL 090. The best is Dusk Saw which is really hard to get. I would recommend getting to Fort Pastor and chilling with people like me. I aggro and level all the time.

This game, last I checked, was an enormous failure of an execution of a rather bland idea. I played until I've gotten to a better pistol, then the looting/level grinding got boring.

It was okay to begin, then the developer(s) drastically lowered looting chances in the high danger areas and there was a general shift in the market economy to extremely high prices, IE buying beginner pistols would cost more than several hours worth of intensive looting for a low level char- looting that would largely turn up crisps and any ammunition type except the ones you need.

It didn't help that he (they) started adding pay-2-win features that basically shattered the balance of the game in PVP.

There are much better F2P games out there and more enjoyable zombie slaying experiences that cost less than one of the game's expensive p2w guns do.

I have GM for 6 months and my looting chances actually appeared to go down. I did loot expensive armor but I could have done that mo' betta with a F2P account. The game does have a balance issue and a lot of high levels are not playing anymore but the game has things that other games can't compete with. The 3D interface alone was more than enough of a overhaul. Then the new bosses added a interesting aspect to the game. I did prefer a giant behemoth appearing over a giant spider spawning and killing me with one hit. The game is good but really does have problems with administration.
