Learn to Use the Minimap

Your biggest helper in this game will be the minimap: If you learn to use it properly, you will be aware of both the dangers around you and the loot opportunities. Prey Day: Survive the Zombie Apocalypse maps are quite large and you have to roam the entire map for gathering. This naturally makes you vulnerable: It is very easy to attract the attention of zombies while wandering around. However, if you pay attention to the minimap, you can see what is happening in your immediate environment and even avoid zombies. Therefore, always keep an eye on the minimap while you are in a mission area: You can collect more resources in a shorter time and avoid dangers.

However, if you read the mission text, you can get an idea of where your target is. This is not an ARPG: You need to do some light-reading to understand what to do.

Remember You Have a Base

There is a place you can call “home” in this post-apocalyptic world and you can arrange it as you wish. If you forget its existence, you will soon have to remember because it is not possible to produce or upgrade anything without constructing some stations in your home. Whether you’re starting from scratch after death or trying to get more powerful weapons and equipment, you have to set up all the production stations in your home, each of which costs certain resources. Therefore, do not sell or trade the loot you collect before building your stations: First of all, you need to enlarge your house. Also, remember that there is a large chest in your home where you can transfer items in your inventory.
