Scenario-Specific Character Strategies

Outbreak (Scenario 1)

This initial scenario, set in J's Bar and the surrounding streets, offers a great introduction to the game's mechanics. Certain characters excel here due to their unique abilities and starting items.

  • Kevin Ryman (Police Officer):
    • Strategy: Kevin's starting .45 Automatic is a powerful asset, especially against the initial zombie horde in J's Bar. Conserve ammo by aiming for headshots.
    • Walkthrough Steps:
      1. Immediately after starting, clear the bar area of zombies. The .45 Automatic can take down regular zombies in 1-2 headshots.
      2. Head to the back room of J's Bar. You'll find a Handgun Magazine on the floor, near the shelves.
      3. Proceed to the Kitchen. A Kitchen Knife can be found on the counter, useful for conserving ammo on weaker enemies or for a last-ditch defense.
      4. Once outside, prioritize taking down the zombie that drops the Iron Pipe near the alley entrance. This melee weapon is excellent for saving precious firearm ammunition.
      5. When you reach the Apple Inn, use Kevin's ability to kick open doors quickly. This can save valuable time and prevent damage from enemies lurking behind closed doors.
    • Key Items for Kevin: .45 Automatic, Handgun Magazine, Iron Pipe (found).
  • Cindy Lennox (Waitress):
    • Strategy: Cindy's unique "Dodge" ability and her starting Herb Case make her an invaluable support character. She can avoid damage and manage healing items efficiently.
    • Walkthrough Steps:
      1. In J's Bar, focus on dodging zombie attacks to conserve health. Her Herb Case can hold up to 8 herbs, making her the ideal character to carry all healing items found.
      2. In the back room of J's Bar, pick up the Green Herb on the floor.
      3. In the Kitchen, combine the Red Herb (found on the counter) with the Green Herb for a potent healing item.
      4. When encountering the zombie that drops the Iron Pipe outside, let a combat-oriented character handle it. Cindy should focus on healing and avoiding damage.
      5. Inside the Apple Inn, look for additional Green Herbs in various rooms (e.g., the lobby, certain guest rooms) and store them in her case.
      6. Use her "Dodge" effectively against the Lickers encountered later in the scenario to avoid their devastating attacks.
    • Key Items for Cindy: Herb Case, Green Herb, Red Herb.
  • Yoko Suzuki (University Student):
    • Strategy: Yoko's large inventory capacity (8 slots) and her "Dodge" ability make her excellent for item hoarding and navigating dangerous areas. She can carry crucial puzzle items and extra healing.
    • Walkthrough Steps:
      1. Upon starting in J's Bar, immediately grab the Handgun Magazine from the back room. Yoko can easily carry this without sacrificing other essential items.
      2. In the Kitchen, pick up the Kitchen Knife and the Red Herb. Her inventory allows her to carry both without issue.
      3. When outside, prioritize picking up the Iron Pipe if another character doesn't need it immediately.
      4. Yoko is ideal for carrying the Iron Pipe and the Valve Handle (found in the alley near the Apple Inn) simultaneously, as these are critical for progression.
      5. Her "Dodge" is crucial for avoiding damage from the Lickers in the Apple Inn and later the Giant Leech.
      6. Ensure Yoko is the one to pick up the Lighter in the Apple Inn's lobby and the Kerosene in the storage room, as these are needed for the final puzzle.
    • Key Items for Yoko: Handgun Magazine, Kitchen Knife, Iron Pipe (found), Valve Handle (found), Lighter (found), Kerosene (found).
