Parkour is everything

Soft landing spots

Find inhibitors for more stamina

  • Scattered around the map - often they’re located in nondescript buildings with holes in the wall or a single open window. Sometimes they’re easy to get to in there, other times they’re full of napping zombies. You’ll find there’s often a warning when you step into one of those buildings that you should go back at night. The zombies are then mostly out on the streets and you can sneak about the building without fighting them all. Use your survivor sense (press Q on PC or right thumbstick on PlayStation) and scan your surroundings and you should see the inhibitor container. GRE Quarantined buildings - There are several large buildings on the map that are covered in greenish tents. They’re marked as quarantine zones. These buildings sometimes contain several inhibitors. There’s one with four in it for instance, which makes it ripe pickings. You need to go in at night, then sneak through using takedowns on zombies and avoid danger until you can loot the good stuff. GRE Anomalies -  you will find there are some areas that look like small military compounds. They are marked as GRE Anomaly zones. In there you’ll have to fight an unusual zombie and kill it to unlock a nearby container that has an inhibitor inside. You can only do these at night, but early on in the game they’re relatively easy to do.

Avoiding death by lack of immunity 

  • Boosters and mushrooms - it’s possible to find UV (glowing) mushrooms around the map. They’re on rooftops, inside buildings, in the underground locations. You can chomp on these to give you a small boost and stave off the inevitable death. You need a lot of them though as their effect is minimal. The alternative is a booster. These look like asthma inhalers that you can squirt to keep you going. You can buy these or craft them and they’re well worth having.  Daylight and UV lights - if it’s daytime, get into the sunlight. That’ll stop the count down. If it’s nighttime, then you can stop the counter by getting to a safe zone with UV lights. These are highlighted with bright purple sunshine markers on the map or with an indicator when you use your survivor sense. Go and stand in the light and your timer will reset. When you step back out again it will start counting down once more. Using these safe zones is a good way to end a chase sequence if it’s happening too.
