Tips

Shoving from behind can open up more space.
The L1 button can act as a 'refresh' button for fast aiming when only one enemy is present.
Pole-type melee weapons may 'bounce' off walls if there isn't sufficient space, preventing an attack.
Shoving will be terminated if there are obstacles in the way.
Only some items can be shoved or climbed onto.
You can stop zombies from entering a room by shoving against the door.
Firing at background interactive objects is recommended from a distance with a gun due to the impact.
Most useful items will 'shine' to make them easier to detect.
Highlighting an item in the inventory slot provides a short description with clues on its use.
Combining items can free up inventory slots.
Certain characters can store or create new items using their 'special containers'.
Some items can only be combined by specific characters.
After equipping an item, you can aim it by holding R1 or R2 and use it with the action button.
