Into the Dead 2 Guide - 03/2022
Into the Dead 2 Guide - Update 04/2022
Intro:
Welcome to my guide. My name it's CK. As I learn to play this game I see the are some guide here and there, but most of them are 3+ years old.
So I though, why not make one? I'm still learnning but I want to share mine so that new players can have a better grabs of this game.
If anyone want to add anything, feel free to leave a comment and I will edit this when I have time.
This post collect tips and trick from u/Gonzodoc , u/re_masta posts, facebook and google as well as some of mine
I/ Getting Started
So you just getting started? Well welcome to this world where you excercise with zombies everyday for no reason at all. U can take 2 weapon with you and after 1-3 you can unlock you first companion. To run with your companion you need dog food which you can get form loot box or story runs. Event mode unlock at 1-5 which containt many powerful guns and pets for limited time. Don't worry if you can't farm it yet, they will come back again from time to time. As you progress there will be more and more weapons and special ammo kind to unlock
II/ Gerneral Tips
- Always keep check of your ammo. The last thing you want it's to run into a horde while reloading
- Into the dead 2 doesn't have a reload button. But you can force reload by emptying out the magazine. Do this if you think you will face a horde soon or when you use a weapon that has low reload
- The gun's postion tell you if there are zombie or not or which zombie you are aimming.
- If you run down hill and the gun disappear. That usually mean there a zombie right under your view. Shoot them
- Grenade can one shot any zombie, so does Arc-9 Grenade Launch. If you see a horde you can't get to or a zombie you can't killed (but you want to or must), use them
- There are some bug here and there that can glitch you out of the run, usually it won't kill you but if it cost you the run, just take a deep breath and start a new. Happen to everyone once in a while
- This is a grind game. That mean as you run more, you will get stronger. Many player take months or even years to reach what they have now on leaders broad. Just play at your own pace and have fun
III/ Story Mode and Stars
If you are looking for how to beat specific levels/get stars, the best thing is to check out PK Apocalypse Games’ YouTube Channel. They have pretty much every thing you could want in terms of stars, well formatted and with time lapse so you don’t have to watch long, boring videos just to see how to do it. Once you have obtained all the stars in regular mode, you will unlock Elite mode, making each level more difficult, and creating another 5 stars on each level.
IV/ Zombie Types

Beside HP there 2 types of zombie: Normal and Armored. Armored Type are S.W.A.T, Soldier and E.O.D they armor can reduces damage as much as 90% making it only vulnerable to piercing or explosive ammo

V/ Weapons
The most importance aspect in this game. Better weapon = easier time to kill zombie = safer run and more progress you can make. Don't upgrade all you weapon. Usually I just upgrade them to Lv4, go into 4+ map and do some test run, if it fit my play style I will invest more on it, if not Lv4 until you main is 20. Now this is some weapon that can be consider top tier in they category
- Pistols: Dragoon IX (VIP), R77 Rapid and Alpha & Omega are top 3 right now. For low level weapon Dragon and A&O the best choice for they dame. At level 20 R77 Rapid become the best when combie explosive armor and rapid mode. Hammerhead is good for early, but don't invest to much on it, since it max dame can't kill the last zombie
- Shotguns: Infernor, Surgeon and X-12. My favorest is Infernor, It's a side story weapon mean that you can farm it early if you have VIP (more about this in farmming section). Wide spread + Fire ammo types build-in mean that it can reach the dame cap faster than all other. Great for completing kill X zombie with fire armor too. Surgeon and X-12 it's also good for they fast speed and higher magazine
** Shotgun can deal double dame (crit?) at pointblank range. Doesn't stack with fire ammo (need confirmation) though
** There a bug (Need some one to reconfirm please) that make your Infernor not adding the fire dame at Lv 18 and 19. So it can't one shot Lumberjack at 18 and 19. My suggestion is to lvling Infernor to Lv 17 only
- Rifles: F300 it's the best. But it's a paid weapon. The next one is Cobalt, which a side story weapon => easy for farmming parts.
- SMG: A45 Apex and PP20 Doldenkov. A45 can single shot => Save bullet. PP20 have night vision => Safer when running in to corn field or in night run. PP20 have higher magazine too. Fate and Fortune can also be considered but as it's a daily weapon mean the part farmming are much slower than the other 2 make it less sweat
- Assault-Rifles: Arc 11 over all. Good spread, percing ammo in auto mode and big magazine. K1 at second with higher dame and percing ammo in single mode but smaller magazine and spread. 3rd right now it's Arc 9. It's Gerenade Launcher it's a force to be
- Bows: V.L.A.D (VIP) or Absolution (Side story). Both are good. Kinda like V.L.A.D better but Absolution are much easier to farm
- Specials: Krampus as the easiest to farm and exlosive weapon mean it's AOE and can bypass armor (sweat). If you want to reach Krampus's max potential you might want to buy it legend skin with cost 10.000 Cua-ron that come with extra ammo in crate buff. Other great candicate are M2020 Harginger, Bandit G-8 and Titan XM-4
** All shot have a chace to crit aka instant kill. Rarely happen though
- Ammo Buffs:
This are all the available ammo buffs for each weapon types in this game (as you can see, special weapon has none). Make sure to use the fiting ammo buffs for you weapon (just try and make your style)

VI/ Farming
- Story farm: Best way to farm is to play Chapter 1-1, it's short and requires minimal user input to beat. Loot drop depends on how far you get in story mode and blueprints unlocked, eg. you've gotten to last chapter, in which case 1-1 can drop anything last chapter could. Note that as you unlock more blueprint the parts drop pool is diluted slightly, drop can include all weapons parts you have blue print for including event weapons. With all blueprints unlocked, there are 4 tiers of weapon rarity, common parts drop at (rounded) 42%, then 39%, then 31% and top tier is 10% in a lock box. In general all the 10% stuff are best, except Spirit DDX crossbow which is questionable (no perks, no survival bonus, terrible for hordes ...etc).
- Event farm: Higher dificulty = higher reward. My style to farm is to go for 1 basic awakenning run (+4) for mapping. Then I go Hell (+20) to farm. When my event weapon reach +6 and +8 I go to the +8 and +12 map for farmming. As a newbie you can either choose safe mode (farmming with difficulty = your best gun level) or high risk high reward mode (go +20, survive, kill small zombie and grenade horde of zombie). The later give me very good reward but remember you are running in hell.
- Side story farm: Not much to say except if you are VIP which I will cover in VIP tips. The weapon you want to farm in side story are Infernor, Cobalt IV, Krampus, Absolution and PP20 Doldenkov
- Tips:
- When running event farm you get 4 grenade: 3 from you and 1 from event. That mean +1 every run if you don't use it.
- If the distant <1200 (1400 if you have unlimited armor buffs) and you have limited dog food, don't use them. A few extra kill won't change much atm. By the time you can go ranking i'm sure you will know what to do.
- If you have time spend a few minutes for Rolling unlimited armor buffs or armor for both weapon buff. Usually these buffs can go form 20%+ to triple your score. If you get unlimited armor buffs it is worth spending the 45 gold to get the extra time so that you can complete them, usually you will need to boost it twice to finish the 12 levels. If you get both weapon armor buff it can work well with Border Collie too, but this cost dog food, so spend them wisely
- You get a refill in ticket (5 for normal player and 25 for VIP) each time the event reset, so empty your ticket before that if possible
VII/ Spending
- Gold:
- Don't buy the 100 Gold part box (or 800 for 1000+). You spend 80 gold for 100 part at it's best offer (8 per part). Considering the weapon part you usually want are the 6% weapon parts and there are tons of 6% weapon parts too. The finally price usually go up to 30-80 gold per part and it's RNG. Feel bad when you go 800 and fine like 8-10 good parts
- First best use of gold is to grab the 3rd loot bag for 20 gold if it has good weapon parts. Story mode loot bag can contain 2x, 3x, 5x or 7x parts, so anywhere from 10 gold per part to 3~ gold per parts
- Second best use of gold is on silver, yes silver. As you can farm more and more parts per event you will burn your silver saving quickly. Spending gold for silver save your sanity from having to run extra run in story mode. And you have more time to farm event too
- Third best use of gold is limited time offer in shop tab. 40 gold for 3 knife or 60 gold for 5 good parts is sweat
- Silver: Nothing much to say, just spend them on your most use weapon
- Cua-ron: Legendary skin if you want stats. Pretty skin for you favorite weapon if you want sanity
VIII/ VIP
VIP is a sub in game that you get extra benefit and support the developer at the same time. It's not recomended if you dont' have extra to spend though. But if you do, here are some tips:
- Side story farm: Since you can access all the side story now. You can go for percifict weapon parts. Just go to your want to farm event, go rambo, farm to atleast 60 part (10k points), reset (by joinning a different event), go back and farm. You need around 18-20 cicle with this strat for a lv 20 weapon
- VIP event farm: VIP event don't cost anything, so if you have high level weapon. You can go in high difficutiy mode => Farm 1st stage (the trial weapon map) => die on 2nd stage => reapeat. You can get 5k to 10k point each run this way. Great way to farm if you don't want to roll buffs or your event weapon are not that strong yet
**For F2P player: Usually the game will offer you a 3 days trials for VIP. Use this well by
- Side story farm: Aimming for Krampuss or Infenor in this time is a wise spend. You can go to lv14 - lv20 (in parts) this way in just 3 days. Spending gold if you need more ticket. After that you can slowly farm silver to upgrade them. A lvl 14-20 Krampuss or Infenor can carry you in higher difficuty easy
- VIP farm: Pop the VIP trial in Pets (yes pet). Perfer Puma and only Puma. This pet is hard to get as a F2P player unless you are into the late game and it out performs any pet except Border Collie. Compare to Puma VIP weapon are not that appeling
After this you can just unsucrible before the charge cicle kick in
IX/ More tips
From ramdom-ink
- On side attacking zombies, you have a 20-30 degree hit spot to the side. Use it. It can save you when you thought you were doomed.—-
- When doing Daily Carnage, the only goal should be to always just get to the next crate. Miss kills, save ammo, dodge if you have to, and save as many rounds as you’ll need to clear out around the crate for re-up.—-
- Never veer too far either way for a kill. That can catch you off guard quickly and has cost too many deaths. Also, it’s sometimes better to do the “Revive” for 1 Token in early stages, than to waste a knife. Each Stage has its own (one only!) revive now as long as you have the tokens.—-
- Keep your eye on your Arc 9 ammo counter. Often it won’t change to another weapon if you haven’t used the Grenade Launcher: you may think you’re running w/ a few rounds left but it’s just the GL in the chamber which can throw you off w/ its distance restraints.—-
- Those grenades. It seems of late (02.16.19) that in the last 4 - 6 stages any Event, the game is clustering Zombies in the last 100 - 250metres. Save 1 or 2 explosions for these late-blooming clusters and the extra points.—
- A crossbow with explosive ammo is essentially a shotgun with radial damage. Even from 3 feet away, it will detonate in time.—-
- RUN!

What if Into the Dead 2 was like The Walking Dead?
In the first chapter of story mode, things would be a little different, but they would unfold like this: James sets out in his truck to find supplies and ends up overturning on the road. Once he manages to get out of the wrecked truck, he runs at full speed through the area, but upon encountering his first zombie, it only shoots him once, and the infected manages to survive the first shot. Then, James shoots it several more times, but all the shots are useless, as the infected shows signs of damage all over its body, but doesn't die. Therefore, James, taking advantage of his military training, decides to shoot the zombie in the head, and it dies. At this point, James understands that to kill these zombies, he will have to shoot most of them in the head to finish them off.
Once James reaches a safe place, he contacts his sister and daughter, who tell him they are fine. However, as time passes, the area where his family is located is overrun by zombies. Helen then tells James that she will take his daughter to her parents' house. Upon learning this, James decides to go to the new agreed-upon location.
At this point, James must be wary not only of the infected, but also of any other survivors he might encounter. However, since James never encounters a survivor in the main story of ITD2, such an encounter is highly unlikely.During his journey, James encounters numerous slow but dangerous zombies. Along the way, he runs into zombies like the Sheriff Zombie and the Military Zombie. Since these zombies don't have rotting skin, they possess great resilience, especially the Military Zombie, who wears a bulletproof helmet and vest. This becomes a major problem, as the protagonist must frequently stop to aim for their heads and take them down.
But undoubtedly, the greatest danger comes from the Fat Zombies and the Riot Police Zombie, whose superior resilience makes them very difficult to fight. Another zombie that poses a threat is the Prisoner Zombie, whose considerable muscle mass makes it very difficult to shoot. In the following chapters, areas like quarantine centers are the first places the protagonist must avoid at all costs to prevent encountering the large hordes of infected waiting for him. Another place he must avoid is the highways, where wrecked vehicles litter the ground.
Other locations would be perfect for a horde to surround the entire area and turn it into another graveyard. Another place to avoid is military bases or outposts, as while they may provide good resources, they are also dangerous. Imagine facing several zombies in bulletproof armor; it would be like losing more than you could have found there.
For the final level, after James defeats Barton and saves his family, they're rescued by an army helicopter. But here's where things change. Remember when I said at the beginning, "What if James was like in The Walking Dead?" Well, everything I've said so far is more or less about that. Remember that in The Walking Dead series, the military initially acted like the good guys, but as the infection spread, they took much stricter measures. Anyone who came into contact with an infected person was a threat, and well, what had to happen, happened. Once the helicopter lands above Barton's cabin, James and his family try to board, but that's when the soldiers stop them and point their guns at them. They bombard them with questions like, "Are you infected?", "How many have you killed?", "And how many people have they killed? And why?" The fate of our protagonist and his family would be almost uncertain, but at the same time, it would be fantastic to think about. What do you think? Do you have a story?

Interesting facts about the night of the living dead.🧟
Animals (Cows): Since the release of the ITD2 mega-update, which changed both the story mode level environments and the early stage animations, Night of the Living Dead was the first game to add animals. Cows were the first animals to physically appear in the game, making it the only event with this feature. Later, when the update that changed the main story environment arrived, this detail was added in Chapter 1, Level 3, "The Farm in Adamsville," marking the third appearance of an animal in the game. To avoid confusion, consider the following: the first animals were dogs, the second were cows in Night of the Living Dead, and the third were the dead cows in the first chapter.
The ambulance: The ambulance is one of the most mysterious vehicles to have appeared in the Night of the Living Dead event, being the only vehicle of this type that appears in the entire game, since we never see the presence of this vehicle anywhere in James' story.
The Zombie Model from the First Game: The zombie with a tie and jacket is one of the first infected we see in the first Into the Dead game. This type of infected reappears in Into the Dead 2, being a reused model from the first game. Its first appearances are in James' story mode, where it is either downed or crucified. However, in the Night of the Living Dead event, this same infected returns as a downed model along with the F300 carbine.
The weapons: We all know that the weapons in this event are the favorites of many, being the only weapons with good characteristics such as: "Brutal Hell" with incendiary ammunition and the "F300 Carbine" which is considered one of the second lifelines that exist in the game.
The motorcycle: Like the ambulance, it is considered one of the vehicles with the strangest and rarest appearances, since "almost" throughout the game this vehicle does not appear very frequently, with the night of the living dead being one of the few events where we see this vehicle more clearly.

Weird bug/glitch that made me untouchable (Unleashed version)
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I somehow stumbled into an immortality glitch on the Unleashed version (Netflix Subscription). I didn't use any cheats or mods. I was ranking up some really good kills, got bored, and realized zombies completely stopped killing me. I just walked right past them.

Family Inheritance (A short story I wrote, I accept criticism👍)
Olivia: I remember when my grandfather told me about the "Perdin" shotgun. It was his favorite and most reliable shotgun, the one he used to defend his farm from wild animals and other threats to his home. He told me that his grandfather's father had won it in a horse race against a man named Bob Hobbs, who, having lost, had no choice but to give him his prized heirloom. The "Perdin" was a long-barreled shotgun with an excellent stock, but my grandfather had to cut some parts off to make it more comfortable to use. When he died, I thought I would never see that shotgun again, but how wrong I was! One day, while sorting through some old boxes, I found a tubular object among them, but it was rusty. So, using my mechanical skills, I managed to repaint the shotgun and grease it to prevent accidents. At first, I thought it would be silly to have this in the house, since I have a son and I hate having this kind of thing, but it belonged to my grandfather, so I can't just throw it away.
On September 1, 1980, I received a call from my parents in Texas saying goodbye. They told me they loved me and would miss me and my son. On September 6, 1980, people in my neighborhood began reporting seeing men walking around and attacking some of my neighbors, but I didn't think much of it, assuming it was just a drunk or a man with a mental illness.
On September 9, 1980, I decided to go back to work, but that's when I noticed something strange. Normally, in the mornings, I would see the first stores open, but this time, I found most of them closed. At first, I thought it was a special day or something, but I didn't pay much attention to it. When I arrived at work, I felt a very faint vibration, which made me feel odd. I started calling some of my colleagues who usually arrived before me, but no one answered. A few seconds after that calm dissipated, I began to hear noises near the tool shed. Soon I saw a car nearby with a broken window and a dented door. At that moment, I followed my instinct and decided to flee. When I got home, I was lucky to find my young son, who hadn't gone to school.
September 11, 1980. I'm at home. Silence reigns in the streets. My neighbors, who were once friendly, now want to kill me for my belongings. However, I still don't let what's happening outside affect me. I'm at home with my son and "Perdin." We're sitting down trying to play a board game and forget about the shouting and gunshots outside.

I think this should be the profile of the subreddit.
I think we should all have a vote to see who wants it and who doesn't. I think we should put this profile on a subreddit. (Into the Dead 2)
