Instead, there are fetch quests: lots of fetch quests. Riptide's sandbox island of Hanoi isn't filled with the fun zombie-killing adventures you might expect. And that's only if you can muster up enough energy to make it that far. By the time you drag yourself through to the disappointing ending, apathy has taken over to the point where you wouldn't bat an eyelid at even the most grand of revelations. This all makes it so very hard to care about anything that happens in Riptide. Then there's the plot itself, which endlessly meanders between government conspiracy, sci-fi, and human interest, without even the slightest sense of direction. And that seriousness is hard to swallow when you have to look after a bunch of shallow, argumentative characters who utter irritating swears every few minutes and prove so unlikable that you're willing them to be torn apart by the zombie horde, just so you can have some peace and quiet. But there's no sense of humour or self-awareness here: to Riptide's detriment, it takes itself very seriously. The story-and that's using the word generously-is filled with the sort of terrible dialogue, hammy voice acting, and cliches you'd expect to see in an awful zombie spoof, or at best, a trashy B movie.

Using a Short Shotgun for a wider spread helps with this tactic, but forces the player to get closer to effectively headshot single targets.ДЇranchi SPAS-12 (with or without stock) or Remington 870 Police Folder/TOZ-194 The spread of the shot can also be used against close clusters of smaller zombies where multiple heads can be hit with a single blast, delivering damage to the whole mob and possibly killing few of them instantly. This makes shotguns devastating against the tougher or more dangerous zombies such as Thugs, Floaters and Butchers, particularly if they catch the player unaware in a confined space and they need them dead fast.
