This strat is set out so that absolute beginners go to section (1),
people looking for a guide to how to get a platinum go to section (2)
and experts looking for the fastest strat go to section (3)

(1) (This is your test. It’s a simple task of getting 15 kills as quickly as you can.

OK lets talk weapons.

The new weapons you will encounter on this challenge are:

Scifi handgun – Your default weapon on this level. Has only 1 function but the bullets can bounce off of objects and be bounced around corners. For this challenge this weapon is not really effective and you will be looking to find another weapon asap. It fires in 3 round bursts but you will more than likely have to reload if you want to kill 1 zombie.
Lasergun - this has 2 functions but, only 1 is really needed for this challenge. The primary function is a charged shot. The intensity of the shot is measured by hold long you held down the fire button. If you only tapped it a small burst will appear but if you charged up the shot for a split second then the shot fired will be a lot more powerful. This function is great over short and long distances. The second function is the bullet shield. Its useful for protecting yourself against enemy fire but it doesn’t work on a few weapons. It also uses ammo a lot faster than the first function.
Electrotool – this as the name suggests fire and electric charge at your enemies.

Other weapons on the level
Plasma Rifle, Homing Rocket Launcher

Now that you know the new weapons lets move onto the strat.

Your targets are:
Bronze – 15 kills
Silver – 15 kills in 5 minutes 30 seconds
Gold – 15 kills in 3 minutes 30 seconds

1. The best weapon to use if you are a beginner is either the Homing Rocket Launcher or the Electrotool.
The Rocket Launcher can be found in 2 places.
These are in the end cubical of the toilets, or in the room on the left at the top of the stairs. The Electrotool can be found in many locations. It’s a yellow weapon so keep and eye out for it.
2. When attacking the zombies don’t aim for their heads.
They will just come off but the zombies will continue to live and move about without a head.
3. Staying near to the staircase is advisable as most of the areas in the level can be reached from this location.
4. Again put your radar to good effect.
5. Health shouldn’t really be an issue for you as in a firefight the zombies get stunned if you shoot them and they tend to die rather easily.

(2) Platinum is 15 kills in 1:00.0

Again as Adios Amigos, the first thing that you want to do is go into you preferences on the pause screen and set the “weapon change” function to never.
This just makes things a little easier but, you will have to change weapons manually.
Ok, with that done here’s what to do.
You weapon of choice will be the Lasergun as it takes down the zombies quickly, is accurate and is great over long distances.
Try and start near to a Lasergun and some enemies.
This just makes things a little easier.
The best place to hang around is downstairs, in or near the room just at the bottom of the staircase moving between this location and the corridor that leads to the toilets.
Most of you kills can be found here but, sometimes you may have to go on the hunt for a kill.
Health shouldn’t be an issue and the only thing that can ruin a good run is the spawning locations of the zombies after they have died.
All that’s left to say is keep at it and a time of under 1 minute will happen.
Who knows you might even be able to go under 50 seconds.

(3) Strat for under 40 seconds

Basically this strat is the same as the one in section (2).
It does involve some luck with the enemy spawning points and requires that you dispose of any enemy as quickly as you can.
Never stand still.
Always be moving towards your next kill.
This will be re-written soon.
