Dead trigger 2 blueprints

Original in its time Dead Trigger seemed to many to be a kind of breakthrough among games on mobile devices thanks to its excellent picture. Indeed, everything looked almost the same as on large platforms; it seemed that all that was left was to polish the plot, polish the gameplay, and now you’d have a full-fledged zombie shooter. In the second part, the developers tried to correct all the shortcomings, but to no avail.

A good zombie shooter that still has room for improvement

The game begins quite promisingly, because the banal set of missions has been replaced by a more or less clear full-fledged campaign. Now you'll progress through the story while still being able to have fun with optional missions for cash rewards and weapon blueprints. The campaign is unlikely to be able to surprise anyone who has seen more than one movie about zombies, since Madfinger offers players a completely standard set - we search and rescue survivors, collect them in one shelter, which we will provide with supplies, protect from hordes of living dead and improve in every possible way , in return using the services of the inhabitants. Oddly enough, not for free.

The survivors help the main character in many ways - they produce medicines, make weapons according to the found drawings, they get all sorts of bonuses like experience boosters from the black market, but they only do all this exclusively for money, and in the case of the black market - for real money.

As the plot develops, it turns out that, in addition to standard America, the resistance forces are waging an unequal battle with the undead in no less standard Africa, conquering not only cities, but entire countries from zombies, so you and other survivors are heading there. Moreover, in order to recapture a certain city or country from zombies, you need to destroy several million undead in additional tasks. The total number of kills among all players and as some cities are liberated is taken into account. Dead Trigger 2 others are added.

The tasks in Dead Trigger 2 are not too complicated, they basically require the player to collect key items scattered around the map, activate switches, hold a position for a specified time, shoot zombies from a helicopter, or simply offer to get from point A to point B alive. Along the way, the zombies are not particularly diverse. Basically, these are ordinary walkers, slowly but surely coming at the player from every doorway or hole in the fence. To complicate their task, and at the same time get some bonus cash, you can block the doorway in the place where the enemies appear. While the undead are dismantling the boards blocking the passage, the player can have time to drive back and forth with a can of gasoline, for example. True, these same barricades are allowed to be erected only in places specially designated for them.

Sometimes the game unleashes larger monsters on you, like a big guy with a barrel of fuel on his belly or a mutant zombie damaged by radiation, being near which can send the unwary player to another world. Dealing with them is not difficult if you have a couple of grenades, mines or explosive chicken in your pocket. I'm serious, we tie a stick of dynamite to a chicken, let the bird run around, the zombies get distracted by it, gather in a bunch... profit. Ordinary firearms You can get by, but it will be much more difficult and you will have to use first aid kits.

And here we are faced with the fact that execution additional tasks- this is not so much an opportunity as a necessity, otherwise you will experience a serious shortage of first aid kits, grenades, it will take a very long time to assemble a shotgun, and you will have to constantly postpone improving the machine gun. And why all? Because money is needed all around. Maybe not real, maybe just a game, but nonetheless. Moreover, sometimes the game does not hesitate to put the player in a obviously losing situation. Let's say there is a reward of $700 for completing a task, but at this level there are a couple of large monsters, and these are four grenades, which, in turn, cost $800. And you can’t help but use them, because the cartridges are running out, because you have a basic set of simple weapons and they shoot weakly.

The issue with the shortage of ammunition can be solved by improving the weapon, thereby increasing the destructive power and magazine capacity, but here the fun begins. To upgrade a weapon, you need to improve the gunsmith himself, and to improve the gunsmith you must... improve the technique. In other words, you need an upgrade upgrade to upgrade. Xzibit would be pleased. And, of course, every upgrade requires money and time. So imperceptibly, the 30 seconds needed to make a first aid kit smoothly flow into the hour needed to improve the specialist. An hour gives way to two, and two hours are replaced by six hours. And, of course, a wonderful button - execute instantly. For real money. Or go grind for dollars in optional missions, hoping that super zombies will not be encountered often in them.

What about game mechanics, then everything is as before, the character moves around the level and shoots at zombies, there is no talk of any jumping, hiding or running. Unless the automatic shooting option is enabled by default, in which the trigger is pressed automatically as soon as the target is in the crosshairs and at a sufficient distance for shooting. If desired, in the settings you can enable both manual shooting control and adjust the location of the controls on the screen. It's also worth noting that the game supports controllers.

Despite the noticeable push for players to purchase in-game gold, Dead Trigger 2 you can spend a couple of evenings, fortunately the game is available for free download, but it won’t be possible to call it a significant breakthrough compared to the first part, it only has the potential to be a major expansion.

New review, after a long break.

I’ll admit right away: I haven’t played not only the original Dead Trigger, but also any other mobile shooter. In general, if not for certain circumstances, I would not have touched any mobile game. But life had its own way.

Dead Trigger 2 is a classic FPS about zombies. Everything is quite traditional and recognizable: here is the Mysterious Green Rubbish, here are the dead, crawling out of every crevice, and here is a handful of brave Resistance fighters (yes, that’s what they call themselves). Well, then there are quite standard missions: start the generator, drag fuel to the truck, escort the survivor to a safe place - and at the same time shoot, son, shoot in all directions!

"Machine gun", stationary mission. There are similar "sniper" ones. After a shot, bullet time is activated in them, but not simple: you can control the flight of the bullet

We have all seen this, and more than once. Then things begin that decorate any game: weapon upgrades and collecting mysterious drawings. Everything is upgraded here, right down to the first aid kits, and the results are clearly and visibly visible: the destructive power of a machine gun raised by one level can double. I am already accustomed to dealing with all sorts of fractions of a percent, and this approach pleased me very much.

Now we can say a few words about mobile FPS in general.

World map, as usual. Story missions can be done as many times as you like

Regarding management
We all remember how the classic control scheme in shooters was forged - and forged: WASD + mouse. You can’t turn this on on a tablet (as a rule). Therefore, on mobile platforms, control with two thumbs has become standard: the left one for WASD, the right one for the mouse.

And this, frankly speaking, is inconvenient. They also wrote before me that all sorts of strategies and puzzles work great with a touchscreen, but when it comes to action...

The authors of Dead Trigger 2 (and not only them) understand this very well. When it comes to shooting, you get every concession imaginable. It took me a while to get used to the fact that fire opens automatically on an enemy caught in the crosshairs. There is no concept of friendly fire - feel free to shoot through the escorted object and throw grenades at your feet. And even "fast" zombies move quite slowly; I would like to call their gait a “shaky trot.” Throwing grenades is extremely easy and if they hit a zombie directly, they explode instantly, which is very convenient when bosses appear on the scene. You can carry as many as two dozen first aid kits with you and raise your health significantly above the maximum (again, convenient when reporting that a boss has come for your soul). No drop in accuracy on the run. No impact from recoil.

The shotgun never fails. Axiom

Partner. Partners and protected persons act surprisingly intelligently here

Just a picture, dear to the heart. Everyday life, everyday life...

Another thing is that the game still matches the enemies to your growing level. You may well be attacked by a crowd of such strong zombies that nothing can save you. And these authors, perhaps, are in vain. A campaign to exterminate the walking dead is moving around the globe, starting in America. It would be good and correct to increase the strength of the zombies gradually, leaving them dead in the traversed areas. Just in case your mood is not “clenching your remaining teeth” but “a quiet conversation between a meat grinder and minced meat.” Alas.

By the way, the level of difficulty here also varies. It directly determines how much money the zombies will drop.

And the most important thing
These are trunks. More precisely, that there are many of them. Let me explain with an example.

What hangs on the “one” in any shooter? Well, a knife. For lovers of the classics - a mount.

What goes into the Melee slot in Dead Trigger 2? Partial list: gas key, machete, crowbar, several special combat knives, anti-zombie machete, bat with nails, Viking swords, Chinese butterfly daggers, katana... What? Chainsaw? Oh yes, and a chainsaw. Of course.

The gunsmith receives a new task. “Two Uzis are disappointing, I agree

It is not difficult to guess that when it comes to firearms, complete madness begins. There is an MP-40. The PPSh harmonizes well with it.

Moreover, all these things are not so different from each other, especially considering that each can be upgraded. Here the collecting passion familiar to everyone is already activated: I want this, so that I can have it, and burn it all with a blue flame.

By the way, some drawings only appear in tournaments ( special treatment increased cruelty). And some are even sold only for money.

I realized that I was hooked when, albeit briefly, I began to think: should I give four thousand for unique weapon- gold plated AKSU? For now I'm holding on.

This is not a new thing either; we have seen this before. But here the extraction itself, which evokes the legitimate pride of the owner, is also done very well. You play Dead Trigger 2 not to crush zombies, but to hang more and more guns on the wall.

Let's summarize
This thing has its drawbacks, of course. Firstly, the gamepad is only half supported - the game interprets the analog signal from the second stick as binary, resulting in precise sight I still have to move my finger across the screen. And secondly…

And secondly, there is no special large CARPET on which all my weapon trophies would hang. So that they shimmer in the rays.

And so everything is very even nothing.

Offers players a more challenging storyline, additional types of levels and different types of weapons. Successful zombie hunt in Dead Trigger 2 requires knowledge of many nuances and subtleties of the game, which we want to tell you about.

Let's start with the fact that at medium and hard difficulty levels it is almost impossible to win without upgrading your weapons. But before you tackle it, you need to upgrade your technician and gunsmith, and only then will you be able to improve the three initial types of weapons available to you at the start of the game. This will make it easier to complete the middle levels and make the difficult ones at least possible to complete.

These upgrades will require money from you, albeit not very much, but still, you need to have them. The easiest way to get them is to go to levels where there is no time limit, in which the gameplay develops relatively calmly and is dedicated to defense and setting up patrols.

Then you need to find the point from which zombies appear and shoot them in unlimited numbers until you collect the required amount of money. This is especially convenient to do at easy levels, where you can safely kill all enemies simply with a wrench. This trick will allow you to earn huge amounts of cash for your upgrades.

The same method makes it possible to kill mini-bosses that at least sometimes appear at the same points. They drop much-needed parts of the drawings, so hunting them this way also makes sense.

Don't even try to go hand-to-hand against mini-bosses. Kamikaze deals a massive amount of damage when it dies, thanks to a giant bomb strapped to its chest. Sciencefist kills you with radiation if you get too close, and Vomitron will just vomit acid on you, so stay away.

Participate in events that are sometimes announced in the game. At the end of these events, for a large number of destroyed enemies, you have a chance to receive prizes - these could be ordinary first aid kits, but if the number of zombies you killed is really large, then the prizes will be more significant - new weapons or gold coins.

Use first aid kits as a time slower, and not just to restore health. After using each of them, you have about a second of time, and if you use several at once, it will slow down the flock of zombies attacking you and give you a head start in time.

If you want to complete the level quickly, just ignore all the zombies and run as fast as you can. This will help you in case of low health.

Setting up fire control options will help you save ammo, where you can select a function to control this process. There you can also configure additional extra commands for the gamepad if it is connected to your tablet or smartphone.

If you want to increase the animation speed on your slower device, you can change the graphics quality in the game settings, sacrificing detail. Conversely, if you have a powerful enough device, then set the graphics to maximum in order to truly enjoy the game.

Want to get more drawings? Find a level that has a boss near the start, fight him to get the blueprints, then let the zombies kill you, start the level over and repeat your previous actions as many times as necessary.

One of the most convenient ways to deal with the boss is with red barrels of gasoline, to which you need to lure your enemy. As soon as he is next to the barrel, shoot at it! It will explode and the boss will be practically dead, all you have to do is finish him off. The main thing is not to stand too close to the barrel, otherwise you will get it too.

Another way to kill the boss is to upgrade your engineer so that instead of exploding chicken bombs (which, by the way, are quite good against ordinary zombies), you receive fragmentation grenades. They are just capable of helping you in the fight against the boss. You will need to throw them so that they explode right on him - this will take away his health almost as quickly as barrels of gasoline.

If you want to buy something from a smuggler, but spend less gold, upgrade him first, and then the prices for his goods will drop automatically. The more you improve it, the lower the prices will be. But you shouldn’t expect significant discounts - for example, the first smuggler upgrade will give you only 2% savings on all goods.

Find blueprints for different types of weapons, since each individual game situation may require you to use different types of weapons. For example, guns are effective against bosses or large concentrations of zombies, since the level of damage they cause is quite high. Melee weapons are good for close combat or for getting extra money. Pistols are good for shooting at specific parts of zombie bodies in order to obtain cash prizes. The advantage of machine guns is the ability to fire at a large crowd of enemies.

Use the technique described above of shooting zombies in places where they appear not only to get money, but also to accumulate experience points. Increasing experience levels lead to receiving boosters that improve health and money.
