#DEAD NATION PS VITA UPGRADE#
On higher difficulties, the SMG will barely faze tougher enemies - use it with caution and upgrade it gradually over the course of the game.

If you’re low on life and facing long odds, grab that next health kit after you regenerate and you’ll come out ahead. Your character automatically regenerates 20% of his or her life bar. Ammo comes first! Remember to buy ammunition and items before spending all your cash on upgrades and new weapons.Dead Nation is riddled with secret nooks and crannies loaded with item boxes and cash, and you’ll need every last dollar if you want to max out all of your gear. Take some time to venture off the main path. Car trunks always contain gold, so be sure to loot them at every opportunity. Tap R2 - you’ll squash it and gain bonus cash. Topped off on life? Don’t let that health kit go to waste. If you’re strapped for cash, wait for each box to turn gold before opening it. Glowing blue boxes always carry ammo all other boxes alternate between red (score multiplayer) and gold (money for weapons and upgrades). For maximum cash, stay as close as possible to the carnage. Those gold and red orbs that gush from defeated zombies? They boost your cash and score multiplier, respectively, but their value decreases rapidly over distance. Use them regularly or suffer the consequences! It’s tempting to solve every problem with bullets, but equipment like flares and mines are absolute lifesavers. If you hear the music kick into overdrive, ready a powerful weapon! But, more importantly, it can give you clues about the next threat. Dead Nation’s dynamic soundtrack gets the blood pumping.

With practice, you can use this technique to direct the Jumper right into a zombie crowd with lethal results. When you hear its distinctive shriek, Rush away.
