Shoot to knees and knife whilst on the ground is a good tactic. If there’s a route or hallway you know you’ll be going down a lot it’s worth clearing those out but do this sparingly. You may think you have a lot of ammo but it’s possible to waste 15-or-so handgun bullets on two zombies on normal difficulty. Incapacitating is better most times – shooting them in the knees, etc. Zombies are incredibly resilient – nearly to a fault, so it’s best to be very strategic about which ones you kill. By the time his appearance becomes common you will have had the opportunity to upgrade your handgun twice (worth doing an upgrades article) so that’ll put you in good stead to put him down. The handgun isn’t bad for this because of its range whereas the shotgun isn’t especially great. Your best course of action is to either hide in a corner (or quietly circumvent him) or shoot him in the head with a few well-placed bullets. Don’t ignore him and just run as he’ll catch up to you in a short amount of time and won’t leave.

Crucially, no room is safe from him, he can even enter the main hall which in the original was a safe haven.

X is a flat out nuisance who’ll pursue you throughout the RPD after a point. In the meantime, check out some hot tips! Stay tuned for the full strategy guide very shortly. The demo is available to download and play for 30 minutes up until January 30.
