Post: Few pointers to get you to a higher level

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); After playing for a while, I have noticed few things that I think I should mention. I seen a few threads descussing strategies but nothing regarding this. So here are my little pointers and advice to all Der Riese players, which I think should not be missed or mistakes that you dont want to make. Hopefully it helps everyone to get up to a higher level.

- Please DO NOT take someone elses window, we all need to get more points. And you running around is not saying that you are better, just showing who is the jerk and selfish. Besides if you are running around, then who is watching that one window? Next thing you know zombies will get in and attack your teammate.
- First few levels try to use less pistol and more granades and a knife. Unless if you get 2x points.
- If you get max ammo then you can start using pistol, knife and granade.
- Open a door where Thompson gun is, it reloads faster and shoots better then Trench Gun.
- I stay in main room for first 7 levels, get more kills.
- After getting Thompson, next item on your list should be Juggernaut, then Speedcola and Random Box. Thompson is good for up to level 11.
- DO NOT be a Hero, this game was designed to stay together aka teamwork. Because if you are down, you letting your teammates down and if someone runs to revive you and they go down, now that would just screw everything up.
- Once all teleporters connected and you stay upstairs by the Teleporter B, thats great. But make sure you are shooting too or we all die. There is no where to run so keep shooting!
- Please dont camp by the window upstairs, its vertually impossible to watch window and behind your back.
- Using flamethrower is great, but DONT use it in front of you. How do you expect to see anything in front of you when there is fire everywhere??
- Player with Wanderwaffe, should only shoot at the bottom of the stairs, NOT in front of you. You will either die or its going to be a miss OR not a use of its potential.
- If you are low on ammo then buy more, dont expect your teammates do all the work.
- Regarding my last point, if you cant get a good gun, then by Thompson, MP40 or Type 100 of the wall and PAP it. Make sure this gun is easily accessible to you, because you can still buy ammo even if its upgraded for 4500 points.
- Once electric fence is activated you can still walk through it with Juggernaut without dying.Also I believe you can walk by the side of fence closer to the wall as possible.
- If you are low on ammo, then the game is telling you to get out of that spot and run to the teleporter, BUT make sure your teammates are following you.
- I had a problem when someone was either using a fence or a teleporter, then guess what Im stuck with 50 zombies behind my back, because teleporters are cooling down, what about me??
- I seen someone running from one teleporter to the other one, which is not a bad strategy in my opinion, but have you thought that zombies will meet you half way??
- Staying upstairs is not a bad strategy for maybe up to level 25 at most, after that use a different strategy that involves running together!
- Personnaly I think Flamethrower is a good gun, because once PAPed it works like a charm and no ammo involved. BUT you have to know how to run and shoot at the same time.
- Once again, this game is made for TEAMWORK!

I hope this helps and have fun in Der Riese!


BTW Anyone noticed how Trayarch is having a sale 50% their map packs untill Nov1, that means New Map pack is coming out either Nov 1 or first week of November, very excited!Happy

1 more for noobs:

- when camping upstairs, make sure 2 guys are sitting at the front and 2 at the back standing if not, guys at the back cannot shoot!



Regarding going from one teleporter to the next is not wrong, but not as practical! You may think it works, but really you will be wasting more points which you need to save for ammo, those who played lvl 30+ know that its hard to get ammo. Therefore running from Teleporter A to B or whatever is not "best" strategy.
I will tell you this, I only played Night de Untoten and currently Der Riese, because others dont look to popular. Both maps you have to run in circles, not from point a to b. Think about this, you have 30 zombies behind you back its lvl 30.. why not run in circles and keep shooting? I seen people that would just run to the teleporter and stay untill zombies come and then shoot untill you teleport.
So what I recommend, is only run to the same teleporter the whole time, but going through upstairs. Zombies cant climb up so they will go alllll the way around to get you.
Anyways back on topic.

Der Riese is designed to stay together, have you seen Der Riese trailer? all 4 people stay together.
I just hope people will take this as an advice or learn from it. It will improve everyones game and maybe we dont have to play with noobs where you have to do all the work of reviving others, or they die and quit... like wtf, i been there where I died, then came back with pistol, upgrade pistol (works wanders by shooting rockets) or get a gun from the random box. But quiting is selfish.

JTRaines92, If he is talking about the Window In The Teleporter C room (by the Cat Walk) This is very Much a PAIN! If im sitting on the balcony and there is a nob by the windows the zombies come up the stairs and straight at the dumb @ss by the Window. So if this is Your theory: It Bl*ws..

Very Helpful Article, Very Well Written
