Zombie Apocalypse:Post your Tips!!!

Use an M1 carbine, they offer maximum durabilty, long range, and low chance of jamming.

secondary weapons include a pistol and katana.

Become proficient in all these weapons.

Zombies can't climb or use doors, so getting up high and destroying stairs is very helpful.

Avoid traveling on roads, and if you have to travel use a bike. It uses no gas and can get around roads blocked by traffic. The agility greatly outweighs the exposure.

planting and harvesting a garden is extremely helpful to self-preservation, as well as digging wells and using a bike powered generator.

Canned foods last a long time.

Aim for the head and don't miss or you just wasted a valuable resource (bullets, or yourself).

It's ancient combat 101, your enemy is melee, you be ranged. simple as that.

Edit: yesI agree :P. Melee is ballsy and heroic, but ranged is safe and effective, which is what surviving the apocalypse is about.

- Never travel at night

- Stick with the buddy system (two people)

- Avoid wearing loose clothing. Zombies have less chance of grabbing you through the clothes

- Get out of the zombie infested area ASAP

Try to seduce the zombies.

[QUOTE="Lto_thaG"]

[QUOTE="Strider_91"] Book actually says to have a melee weapon as secondary choice, because of gun problems/ammo trouble. And obviously to not make much noise in certain situations, where a gun is going to be to attracting to the dead.Strider_91

1. Cardio

2. Beware of bathrooms

3. Buckle up

4. Double Tap

:P

Double Tap :)

I would move away from all known infected areas, create a resistence force and fight the Zombies! (Not Really, I'd probably die in a hole somewhere :P)

if zombies take over we must all go here

My tip: Watch Zombieland.

1. Be sure to have a gun with quick fire rate, fast reload, has range and can be silenced. A Silenced P90 would do good.

2. Travel only in day.

3. Use Melee weapons at last resort. You risk getting infected and blades won't work so good when there's about 30 zombies trying to rip you're brains out. :P

4. Stay in a group!

Create a loud noise, like disturbed playing at maximum volume, so all the zombies will go to the sound source. Then blow it up.

Have a Zombie's ultimate enemy handy...

a 12 gauge riot shotgun

Move to Canada, we have nicer zombies.

The most important thing is water. Even more important than finding that 20kg minigun with 50kgs of bullets so you can one-man-army the zombie horde, even more important than becoming proficient overnight with a katana, more important than making your way out of a city jammed with traffic, bodies and zombies. (All stabs at people who think they know everything already) Without it you WILL die. That's a guarantee. You can survive a zombie infested pit by hiding. You can even fight them off with all the firepower you need. You can escape the city, fly to Mars or play DDR with the zombies. But you NEED fresh water or you WILL die.

So make sure you have water. Make sure you know where to find water either in reserve tanks, or if it rains often enough having buckets and other containers. Remember stagnant water will kill you also (I'm not quite sure, but tap water would probably be unsafe). So make sure it's fresh. Bottle it up and keep plenty on you if you're unsure of when you'll next get some. You can go without food for 4 weeks, but only a few days without food before you die.

THEN you can worry about food, then you can worry about shelter and getting the hell out of Dodge; although, if you've playing your cards right, you should be doing this all at once anyway.

I recommend dual-wielding Ak-47s.

Stock large amounts of supplies and weapons and 'borrow' a boat and stay out in the ocean for however long it takes for the apocalypse to die down, if it even dies down... maybe they wont find a cure.. hmm i just found a loophole in my plan.

Be sure to watch Zombieland and read the Zombie Survival Guide. Then take the proper precautions. This is what I would do:

Get a large and reliable vehicle. Preferably a cargo van.Then use the van to travel around, find proper supplies and load up, and find a safe place to take shelter. Something well fortified or that can be modified relatively easy to keep intruders out. Verticality is nice. Just make sure it's something that isn't a hassle (for when/if the power goes out, note the exits/entrances, stairs, elevators, etc) or inhabited by tons of people (you don't want a stronghold littered with potential undead) In such a place, set up alarm systems and traps in case the wrong element happens to make it's way inside. While holed up make sure to keep the body and mind well maintained. Eat, exercise, and try to remain calm. Wait it out as long as possible.

Blow your brains out.

I cant beleive no one has mentioned this, GRENADES!!!

lots and lots of grenades. spam when necessary

I'm torn between a stash of weapons (including swords) and food hiding up in my attic and trying to get the heck out of town because I'm fairly sure the goverment would try to take out the zombies with a warhead.
