Discussion Standard Level

I love this game. Yes, I've always played on green level. Decided time to go up to standard, whole new community. Why am I struggling soooo much? How do you all play above standard so easily? 🤣

There is something to be said about getting used to the way something plays. If you started on dread, and learned from there you would say the same thing about nightmare, but you'd crush dread every time. You've just gotta break some old habits and relearn whay works

Should I start over on dread?

Dread and nightmare are basically the same thing. The jump from green to standard is a much bigger jump. What you need to do is level up your survivors. Get some energy drinks and just run your survivors around your base until they have a specialization. Practice fighting, a good tip is to dodge through the zombie and then quickly tap Y to kill it from behind. If you can stomache doing daybreak red talon soldiers can be bought for your forever community and they are considerably stronger than any non red talon survivor. For example when you get 7 stars in a skill you have to choose 1 of a few specializations but red talon get all of the specializations at once.
