Dead Trigger 2: Top 10 Tips & Cheats You Need to Know

Dead Trigger 2 is just the type of game you need to play on those darker holidays (Halloween, for instance). In this mobile first-person shooter, it’s your mission to rid the world of those zombie hordes with a large arsenal of weapons.

Mobile game players will get hooked (hopefully not by the zombies…) by this game’s fast-paced shooting, gory/bloody nature and top-notch graphics. After taking a spin through a few cities overrun by the undead, we came away with a viable list of tips/tricks/cheats for Dead Trigger 2.

Use these top 10 tips/tricks/cheats and you’ll survive the zombie apocalypse.

1. Take Advantage of the Hidden Tapjoy Offer Wall

You’re gonna want to make as many free gold coins as you can to support your zombie killing habits. To do this go ahead and accept the “Register for Tapjoy” offer. After registering, a new pop up offer wall will come up on the screen. Make sure you take advantage of all the free apps that come up on that 2nd, hidden wall. Download all the apps, start them, end them then go ahead and reload Dead Trigger 2. Once you finish checking out all those free offers you downloaded, you’ll get some gold to keep you happy.

2. Headshots Are Your Best Bet

If you’re looking to gain even more gold coins, head out into the game world and lay down some zombies with constant headshots. Pulling off a bunch of successful headshots will fill your pockets a lot more if your aim is pretty solid. Two other ways to make money will involve you interacting with the environment and raising the difficulty level.

3. Take Down The Minibosses To Earn Some Blueprints

WriterParty.com advised players to take down those minibosses if you want some extra blueprints:

Minibosses are the only zombies in the game who will drop blueprint pieces, but on defend stages, you can simply evade them until time runs out, and on other stages, you can run away from them and accomplish whatever objective you need to in order to win (except for the assault stages). Don’t do that. Kill them all, and even stick around the zombie spawn points for awhile to draw out even more of them, so that they can drop more blueprints.

4. Keep A Good Amount of Painkillers on Hand for Those Harder Levels

WriterParty.com also listed a few tips for players who want to survive those tougher stages:

Painkillers can often mean the entire difference between winning and losing. Not only does each painkiller restore a portion of your health, but they also stop time for one or two seconds at a time. Plus, if you take painkillers even before you take any damage, your health will be restored no matter what it’s at, so it’s theoretically possible to take so many painkillers that your health raises to over 1,000.

5. Keep Your Eyes Peeled for The Glowing Red Skull Icon

As you play, you’ll spot a glowing red skull icon pop up from time to time. As soon as you lay eyes on it, take off in the opposite direction of that frightening icon. That icon is a notifier for a nearby zombie that’s prepping to attack you. Taking off in another direction will keep you (somewhat) safe and place you in a less packed location. Your life will be all the better if you pay attention to that red skull icon.

6. Keep Your Distance From All Those Exploding Zombies

A few of the zombies you’ll come across in the game explode as soon as fling a few bullets into him. Standing near those exploding zombies will get you hurt, so it’s best to keep your distance when you want to take them down. In these situations, throw some grenades their way. You’ll be all the more safer if you kill ’em from a distance.

7. Focus on Completing Those Timed Missions and Avoid Killing Every Zombie You See

Modojo.com posted some tips regarding the best way to approach those timed missions:

Obviously it’s a huge amount of fun to put a bullet between a zombie’s eyes, but unless the mission objective calls for it, you don’t have to kill every single last one of them to make progress in the game. If you’re ever given a time limit in which to reach an objective, focus on the destination not the journey – and don’t be afraid to skip a pack of zombies if it means avoiding mission failure.

8. Gas Barrels Will Be Your Saving Grace

When you’re facing off with some of those tough to put down zombies, make sure you put ’em down with those red gasoline barrels in tow. Locate those barrels and make sure those minibosses are close enough to them. Shoot those barrels down when they’re in the vicinity and you’ll end up cutting down most of those minibosses health.
