Weapons and Gear Guide:

Assault Rifle: Tier 3 has excellent armor penetration and damage which can result into ammo conservation. You will find tons of ammo around and they often use 5.5 mm ammo.

Sniper Rifle: Other than their obvious range, the tier 4 rifle has maximum impact. Again, the ammo for these are plentiful. They use 7.62mm for tier 4 sniper rifles..

Shot guns: They have extremely low damage early on but as you level they will become much more useful. It’s best to stick with Assault Rifle when you begin the game.

Blunt Weapons: You may gain access to blunt weapon at tier 3. You should buy the crow bar as soon as possible as it has a high armor penetration.

Buying and Selling: Try and visit vendors  after map transition. They will most likely be restocked with new weapons.

Weapon Smithing and upgrades: Remove any weapons  that you don’t use. Once you get a higher weapon smithing skill as this will result into more scrap parts which will eventually result into more upgrades. There is only one downside though, scrap parts weigh more than the weapon you stripped. Make sure you upgrade your ranged weapons to have a long barrel, sturdy magazine, and long range scope.

Gearing Up: Try and wander in the South East corner of the map. This may result into encounters with enemies that have Tier 3 weapons i.e. M16s and Hatchets. This will ensure that you will be able to fight off the robots that have high armor.

Combat Tips: 

• Try and ambush enemies when they are not in range.
• Attacking while crouching will result into 10% extra chance of a hit.
• Killer robots needs to be destroyed before they get too close.
