On Hardcore, Nightmare, and Inferno difficulties, resources are extremely scarce. Every bullet and herb counts. Prioritize headshots for all zombies. Only engage enemies when necessary; running past them is often the best strategy. Save your powerful weapons (Shotgun, Grenade Launcher, Magnum) for Nemesis and other elite enemies. Craft ammunition strategically, focusing on what you need most. Avoid unnecessary damage by mastering the Perfect Dodge. Always check Item Boxes for stored resources. Consider using the knife for breaking crates and finishing off downed enemies to save precious ammo.
