Basic Knowledge that may be useful?
Key Binds/Unbinds
Some players may not know how to 'bind' keys or know what the 'bind' is. It is a way to place a regularly used shortcut onto the keyboard. Be careful which keyboard keys you select as several have important functions within the game. Binds can be written in the 'console' which can be accessed by pressing the "`" key but without the quote marks. Type in
\bind [your selected key] [your shortcut].
To unbind a key type in the console
\unbind [your selected key].
A few examples of useful ROTU binds can be found on the How to Play RotU [Gameplay Guide] webpage.
Health Sapping Ethereal Objects & Zombie Actions
Apart from the zombies touching a player, there are other ingame dangers that will either sap your health or render you dead.
Pink Mist Comet
Trails of pink mist will follow certain players but not others. It depends if the zombie has selected you for punishment to your health. When the pink mist comets appear, check behind you for one that is trailing you. It can be outpaced , so run and twist and turn until it dissipates. If it touches you your health will dwindle.
Blue Snowballs
Certain zombies will have the ability at times, to throw in all directions, glowing light blue snowballs that will render you dead if you are in their vicinity. You have a brief period before they are thrown to hide away.
Rising Thunderclap
Look out for a zombie that starts to rise vertically in the air and get out of direct sight of them. At the top of the rise, the zombie gives out a load Thunderclap. Anyone caught in the blast is immediately rendered dead. Many players can be taken out in one go by this event so avoid at all costs.
