Quick notes
- Clear only the routes you need. Zombies in a frequently used narrow corridor may justify ammunition, while an avoidable enemy in a one-time room may not.
- Assign weapons around partner behavior. The active character and AI partner do not spend ammunition under identical control.
- Save specialist tools for dangerous targets. The shotgun, grenade launcher and Magnum serve different threats from the basic handgun.
- Heal before a forced split. A puzzle or story event may separate the pair.
Assign weapons around partner behavior
| Situation | Decision | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Enemy blocks a repeated route | Consider clearing it | Reduces repeated damage risk |
| Enemy can be passed safely once | Consider avoidance | Preserves supplies |
| Partner has rare ammunition equipped | Review Attack or Idle | Prevents unintended spending |
| Both characters will separate | Check both health bars | Either character’s death ends progress |
Useful tip
A puzzle or story event may separate the pair.
