I remember playing this game nearly 10 years ago. Its the soundtrack that randomly popped in my head and after a bit of digging around I found it again. Gotta love that sound track!
Needs a way to sort charms and bats by bonuses. Some tips: Creep Magnet + Crazy Collector are best for getting bolts, get those first. Then Id go for Hairy Knuckles, Iron Man, Bruiser. Once you beat the challenges youre gonna want party animal for sure. The blacksmith has a max level of 25, the stuff he makes you gets much better as you progress (the quality is also determined by team level). I prefer Marcus over the others but Bed is just as good. Marcus goes well with Rebound so Id recommend those, he'll also get you the most bolts. The skills cant be boosted past +15 with your charms + bat, so theres a hard limit at 20-25. When you max out youll realize you cant max all the skills but by then a reset is really cheap. Highscore 7M+
Heres some quick tips: Get an assistant before you start filling up shooters/melee, it will help you the most, it can be anyone and 1/1/3 survivors are the most useless. Fill up shooters before you even start to fill melee, 3/x/x should get priority here. For Scavengers, only send people with x/3/x if you can, the melee is very important since it will keep them hidden and help defend themselves if found. By filling up the scavenge section with these kinds of survivors your find rate will go up as you find some with 3 Melee and higher Search. Get the radio tower before other upgrades, it will help out much more. Floodlights are pretty good to have too. Keep all your explosives on one side and focus on the other (Id put them on the right since the guns block that side up). For the first 1 keep your pistol and the ingram, a rifle and assault for zone 2 and and MG + Rifle for zone 3. This method got me thru the game without using any mines or a zombie passing my lines as well as 0 deaths.
I wish Syndicate at least have some form of chat section. Nearly all my critters are better than my Syndicates current ladder critter and I cant communicate with them to remove any.
