- "Isn't it ironic that you're shooting zombies in a town called Shoot'em Up town?"
- ―rpg
Summary
Shoot'em Up Town is a bright, cartoon styled town. Complete with a movie theatre, restaurants, houses and more.
Background Story
Even if they were a little behind the times, everyone who lived in this town believed it added to the charm. Their sole "modern" addition to their quaint little city was a speedy mono-rail, which got everyone around this tiny town quite smoothly.
Needless to say, their outdated technologies were no match for the modern zombie.
It's a ghost town now.
Design
Survivors spawn near a train station and a statue.
Behind you stands a residential area. A large school which can be climbed and a neighbourhood resides there.
Crossing the bridge, a warehouse is to your right, followed by two apartment buildings. A police station can be seen right after.
Going down the street, a movie theatre can be seen on your left with various restaurants dotting the left side. More apartment buildings are on your right, but a lot more restaurants can be seen in the distance.
A parking lot is also behind the movie theatre.
Tips
- It's best to stay away from the edges of the map. There are spawnpoints nearby and Diggers can trip you.
- The same also applies for camping on buildings.
- Some parkour on the roof can make for an easy escape from an incoming horde.
- To make parkour even easier, the Karambit and Duck Mount can be used.
- Use the High Speed Train to escape zombies or easily get around town.
- Use small, cramped areas as an opportunity to use a grenade or fire a round from your M202. For example, the back alleys.
- Keep a safe distance if you're doing so.
- The train may be too fast. Make sure to be careful when it turns the corners, as you might get thrown off the map.
- Using a sniper like the Barrett 50 Cal. or Dragunov can help on this map since it is quite big.
- If a Skull Champion spawns, you can easily climb a tower to avoid them.
- You can also use the Splashy Washy or Fire Extinguisher to push the Skull Champion off the edge of the map.
