How to Find Death Cards

Secret Death Cards can be found in certain levels. They are used to activate cheats in co-op mode. Look for Death Cards on helmets propped up by rifles stuck in the ground (like makeshift graves).

How to Manage Weapons

You can only carry two guns at once, so if you try to pick up another weapon while your hands are full, you'll lose one of the guns you're currently holding. Be careful not to throw away powerful weapons like the Flamethrower by accidentally picking up a weaker item.

How to Counter Banzai Attacks

Sometimes when an enemy charges at you, you'll see a button prompt flash on the screen. If you press the button fast enough, you will perform a counterattack.

How to Cook Grenades

"Cooking" your grenades prevents enemies from tossing them back at you. Hold down the grenade button for a few seconds before throwing, but don't hold on for too long or else it'll explode in your face.

How to Find the Ray Guns

In the mission "Little Resistance," look for four holes in the ground when you get to the mainland. Stand in each hole from right to left. Four statues will rise from the ground each holding a ray gun for you to take.

Listen to Your Commanders

Commanders give you hints as you play. Keep the volume up on your TV and pay attention when they tell you to cover fire, throw a smoke grenade, or take other actions.

Zombie Mode (Natch der Untoten)

Natch der Untoten, better known as Zombie mode, is the name of the mini-game you unlock by beating the main game. The title means "Night of the Undead" in German. You can play alone or with friends in co-op and competitive modes. You can join other players in Zombie mode by invite even if you haven't unlocked it on your save file.

Natch der Untoten is a tower defense game where you have to defend your cabin from hordes of zombies. With each round, the enemies become faster and more aggressive. When you earn 1000 points, go to the door that says HELP to receive a new weapon.
