Beyond basic aiming, master the art of staggering enemies. Headshots are crucial, but sometimes a well-placed shot to the leg can knock a zombie down, allowing you to run past. Use defensive items proactively; a knife can save you from a grab, and a grenade can clear a path. Learn enemy attack patterns to conserve ammo by dodging instead of shooting. The quick turn is invaluable for escaping tight spots. For Lickers, walk slowly to avoid detection, or use flash grenades to stun them for an easy kill.
