Preface
Guide Goals:
* Simplify replay value information while doing a replay decision
* Summarize diverse information while doing a speed-run
* Shop Items Evaluation
* Reveal the hidden info in the "game records"
* Share some good Mods

Background Story:
I have been spending too much time googling before I can continue playing the game. It's difficult to find the direct answer and there's too much gimmicky information. Most of the available info is only partially answer, leaving playtest gamers helpless in finding what they need. That's why I created this guide.
(1) Game Mode
There is no bonus game mode, which means that the different difficulty modes may offer good replay value. Here, I will provide comparison information. (click to enlarge)


FYI 1: Assisted difficulty result will be blank if you skip it, but can use it for speedrun to earn achievement
FYI 2: Nightmare mode will have surprises for experienced hardcore player

FYI 3: The finished result can be found under the 'Story' menu. The replay value comes from trying to beat our own time records

FYI 4: Nightmare mode will have a zombie trying to eat the Donut billboard
(2) The Shop
This unlock once completed the 1st playthru, you earned points(P) to trade in the shop:

* Buy tools to unlock path at early stage
* Dodge upgrade
* Health upgrade
* Attack upgrade
* Crafting upgrade
* Inventory space upgrade
* Special weapons
* Infinite ammo weapons

FYI 1: Most of them will appear in your storage box, except hip pouches
FYI 2: You can earn (P) while completing "records" (challenges) at any time
FYI 3: You can earn (P) when completing weapon kills
FYI 4: Unlocked hip pouches lay outside the first storage container
(3) Records
Completing real time challenges (record) will earn Points, there are some recommended challenge that can help us earn Points much quicker as normal:
* Beat Enemies to Gain More Points
* Reload Saves To Get More Kills
* The final battle in Carlos' Hospital level, try not to plant bomb that will become a farming kills scenario
* Another farming area is where you have to look for Fuses

Mystery Challenge in Records?
The game require player some effort to seek hidden information by ourselves. I would rather use Steam guide to save time, rather than Google. Here is what I can help:
(4) Shop Items Evaluation
Add-on items might be mystery & make us curious to try out. However, they are expensive, end up wasted time and money to discover that is not what we needs. Here is my opinion:

🔹 = Pros
🔸 = Cons


Rai-Den
🔹 One-hit kill on weak point
🔸 Zero damage on the rest of the body parts
🔸 Very slow fire rate
🔸 Cost 12,000P & inventory space

Samurai Edge
🔹 Better Damage & Less recoil
🔸 Fire rate is same as default pistol
🔸 Cost 5,600P

Hot Dogger
🔹 Burning Damage after hit
🔸 Attack rate is same as default knife
🔸 Cost 7,200P

Rocket Launcher
🔹 Multiple kills in one hit
🔹 Infinite rocket
🔸 Very slow fire rate
🔸 Cost 62,400P & inventory space

Assault Coin
🔹 Increases damage dealt by all your weapons
🔸 Cost 4,000P & inventory space

S.T.A.R.S. Gear
🔹 Add-on costume changing in mid progress
🔸 Cost 2,000 points
(5) Unlocking Value

  • After updated Vortex Mod Manager to latest version, it won't support anymore, please use Fluffy Mod Manager.

I think you able to guess what is will be, right? My purpose here is to provide information, I still suggest that people do the challenge, unless in the last minute, accident happen and ruin the achievement progress, the "secret' button can save our mess.
