Zombie Apocalypse
Basics
A quick rundown, In case of
emergency…
First Things First
• Zombies are the living dead, returned to
life through a Virus, that is spread through
fluid transfer.
• ANY injury results in full infection, death
and reanimation are imminent.
• SURVIVAL Is your Number One priority.
KNOW YOUR ENEMY
• Are your Zombies fast? Slow?
Smart? Feral?
• To kill a zombie you must destroy
the brain.
• How many are in your area? Are
you in a city? Small town?
WEAPONRY
• Weapon number one is your body, make
sure it is in tip top shape.
• Weaponry needs to be able to incapacitate
{Ideally kill} a zombie in one quick assault.
• There are pros and cons to each weapon,
make sure you take each of these into
account when building your arsenal.
• Your wardrobe is your armor. No loose
clothing or long hair, Keep it close.
Your Arsenal
• Determine your attack plan: Survive, escape,
rescue, etc. Your Weaponry needs to be as
aggressive as your plan.
• Melee (Close Combat) Weapons need to be
easily handled while still dealing maximum
damage.
• Ranged Weapons should be firearms, they
deal the most damage, and should be well
maintained.
• FIRE is king, it is the only sure fire way to
destroy a zombie entirely.
General Survival
• Noise will alert zombies to your location.
Being quiet will keep you alive.
• Always have an escape plan. Wherever
you are know how to get out.
• Hospitals are an awful place to get
caught. The sick will go here first, avoid
at all costs.
Survival strategies
• You last as long as your supplies, so stock up on
nonperishable’s fast.
• Size of outbreak determines best locations for
survival, The larger the outbreak the more help
you will need for survival.
• Basic home security items will aid in survival.
• Alarms, must be set up. They will be your
advance warning for an inevitable siege.
• This is the easiest way to survive if you are
alone, the other strategies are better for groups.
Escape Strategies
• Take only the most important items, you can’t
take everything for every situation.
• Mobility is your best weapon in an escape
strategy. Stealth and awareness are next on the
list.
• Know where you are going, make sure you know
how to get there.
• Urban areas are deadly, stay quiet and stay
hidden.
• Cars, of all sorts, are inefficient and not mobile
enough for escape. If long distance travel is
necessary, motorcycles or horses are the best.
Attack Strategies
• This strategy is NOT recommended. You need several groups
(5-10), of at least 10 people, for this to be viable.
• Intelligence is your greatest weapon. Do not fight large groups,
do not go out alone.
• Be prepared for secondary waves after clearing your primary
target. Zombies will likely be attracted to all of your noise.
