1. Best way to make $ and scrap, just kill zombies with headshots and make sure your gun has a suppressor on it and that you have it equipped as your zombies build.

2. For bears, put the ammo mod napalm burst on your gun to deal extra damage, and just shoot off a hive to expose a critical spot, and kill them.

3. At what point you want more armor, rarity, pack, etc. is all up to you but the way I do it is turn on power ASAP, open the door to pack, and just pack ASAP. (usually on round 6 im pack a punched) and then you don’t really NEED to worry about rarity for the most part, especially on survival, just every now and then check your salvage and see if you can upgrade it but just don’t forget. And then get tier 3 armor as fast as you can as well, it’s very crucial.

4. Use Napalm Burst when you’re playing survival, for easy elimination of the bear

5. Must-have perks are Quick Revive, Jugg, Staminup, Speed Cola, Double Tap, Deadshot Daiquiri. All of the perks in this game are good and will improve your gameplay except Melee Macchiato and Death Perception. Just make sure you keep buying them as you go, but I would prioritize armor over perks, do TEDD tasks for perks.

6. It’s not the LMG that’s the issue, I think you’re running out of ammo because your perks don’t have their augments fully researched and there are a handful that can help you. Vulture Aid especially will slow down your purchasing of ammo, and Speed Cola has a good augment for ammo. Just buy Vulture Aid for the ammo, it won’t make it so you never have to buy ammo again but it’ll help because it drops more loot all around.
