Though the game sits at around ten hours' worth of playtime, fully uncovering all of the secrets can take several days. Even hardcore completionists will miss a thing or two on their first few playthroughs. The community is still uncovering bits of lore and unlocking powerful weapons. Stay on top of the latest discoveries and news right here.
For a series that has become famous for making guns and bullets feel useless, proper weaponry is still vital to success. The current iteration of the game doesn't dole out enough resources for players to max out all of their potential arsenals, so gamers will have to choose a handful of their favorite weapons and stick with those, which makes conversations about proper loadouts all the more contentious.

Amateur gamers will be sure to feel their sweat hit the keyboard. But even in this game about zombies, fighting is only half of the war. Puzzles, mazes, and other obstacles all try to stop Ethan Winters from keeping his family together.
