Editing Mod:Survival Tactics (section)

== Sneak and Search ==

This is probably the most common survival strategy, involving carefully approaching, searching, and retreating from towns and cities.  It requires skill and experience in route planning, avoiding zombies, and locating loot.  Familiarity with the target city or town is a big advantage.

* Careful route planning and situational awareness are critical. Try to always know where the nearby zombies are and which direction they are moving.  Adapt your route to take advantage of the zombie movements.

* You may need to pause while nearby zombies pass, but in general it is a good idea to keep moving as much as possible.

* Know what you are looking for and which buildings are likely to have it.  This will let you spend as little time as possible in the danger zone.

* After some practice you will develop a sense for how zombies move and react, when you should crawl or crouch, and how to circle away from them.

* You are less visible to zombies when you are in bushes, tall grass, or beside a building's wall.  You are also less visible in the dark and are less likely to be heard during a storm.

* When things go wrong (and they often do), be prepared to instantly shift into [[Mod:#Sprint and Grab|Sprint and Grab]] and [[Mod:#Losing Zombies|Losing Zombies]] mode.
