- Don't sleep on the basic pistols like the PMm early on; they're reliable and ammo is plentiful.
- As you progress, look for shotguns like the Sawed-Off Shotgun for close-quarters defense, but be mindful of their limited range.
- Hunting rifles are great for picking off enemies from a distance, but they're slow to fire.
- Assault rifles offer a good balance of damage, fire rate, and magazine size, making them versatile choices for most situations.
- Always check the weight of a weapon. Carrying too much can slow you down, making you an easier target.
- Keep an eye on your ammo types! Some enemies are more vulnerable to certain calibers.
