Rules about the guide.
1. Do not take seriously. Use it to learn new tricks.
2. You have your own methods. This is one PLAYER'S opinion.
3. Suggestions are welcome but some will be turned down. [E.G. Spamming weapons.]
4. The Guide may be revised at times.
A leatherbound journal lays on a barrel, burned letters title this little book...
"Guide to surviving Roboenza." There's no name on the front... Inside, the contents are as follows. Inside, a small recording device falls out, working as an audio log for what the book reads.
10/31/200X. Renegade X5.
10 days have passed since Wily's defeat, his mega monstrocity known as KKZKZKT (The word was somehow erased) toppled... and he's started his revenge. Nobody knows where it came from... but it struck us hard... It was a virus. One that turned a peaceful robot... into a bloodthirsty Beast... I'll never forget those red eyes...
This new virus is called... Roboenza... and it's turned into a zombie apocalypse...
11/1/200X.
A Few close calls has taught me a few important things about these creatures... They're easily identifiable because for some odd reason, this virus literally heats up the outer shell of the infected robot, giving them that reddish haze. Good news is once infected, the infected have only a limited time before the heat causes their cores to self destruct... No cure for this virus has been found yet but I've discovered ONE Cure...
Termination... the only way.
11/2/200X
I dont believe this... They've... MUTATED! This Virus has granted them the ability to climb walls. I took shelter inside of a tower within the Starman Arena... and to my shock and dismay, I saw them climbing the tower posts coming after me... so I ran. Fortunately, I outlasted them but I need to repair my joints... I'm taking this moment, hiding in an empty warehouse up high, to write down all I know...
These... Zombies... are slow but their virally infected bodies allows them to take a lot of damage, more than an uninfected could... The heat probably hardened their bodies... Either way, these zombies are a force to be reckoned with... wait a sec... I hear something...
The following was hastily scribbled.
A Survivor!! Someone managed to survive! I felt immense relief to find someone else had survived... And he's got weapons! Unfortunately... he started charging an Atomic Fire weapon, that weapon gets extremely noisy and... well... it attracted a swarm after him. What I saw after filled my heart with dread. A single TOUCH infected this survivor... My chances of survival has dropped... I'll continue to monitor these zombies and write down what I've learned...
Also, I noticed that the few survivors I encounter are panicking idiots who literally block other people, getting THEM infected... I thought there were more competant people out there, guess I was wrong. Gotta be alert of my "partners" in this time of survival. Otherwise we'd be tripping all over each other and getting nothing accomplished.
11/5/200X
It seems my chances of survival has dropped even more... from my previous encounters the last 3 days, these zombies are starting to work together. I've seen someone run into a teleporter... only to get telefragged whilst escaping. I've tried various weapons against the infected and found that some work well while others dont work at all. Top Spin, that Torpedo weapon and that Magnet Missile dont work well. The homing attacks go after ALLIES instead of the zombies. Good news is these zombies flinch upon each attack. They arent very smart when it comes to weapon fire... but I Seen one zig zag and leap over someone using a Needle cannon... Running around in circles around the map dont help either, the zombies get wise and split up, pinning the survivor against a wall and infecting them...
About Top spin, contrary to popular belief it's supposedly the STRONGEST weapon out there, however it requires you to get too close to those damned zombies, putting you at risk for infection. Best course of action is to hit a zombie with this weapon if they're too focused on ONE target. Meaning ya gotta sneak up on it...
I'd rather take the safer way and use long-distance weapons...
However, some weapons like the Napalm Bomb, the Hyper Bomb or whatever it's called and the Quick Boomerang works wonders. The Boomerang weapon fires rapidly so each shot knocks a zombie back. If one can keep a steady stream on a zombie, one MAY push it into a pit trap, spike trap, fire trap, etc... A clean efficient way to kill... though some people get cocky and forget to look behind them. Their ignorance led to their downfall and they join the armies of the 'undead.'
... Wily what have you done?
11/13/200X
Hope rises! I've encountered various groups of survivors that actually survived a zombie assault! There may be hope for the humans AND us yet!
I've observed how they all fight against the army as a team... One man pinned a zombie into a crevasse with Quick Boomerang whilst the other unleashed Crash Bombs on him. Good news is we usually locate at least 3 W-Tanks per person along with a few Item 1s, platforms that can be used to climb higher. Unfortunately, some people use it to climb... and ultimately fall to their death.
They neglect 1 simple fact...
Item 1 can be a DETERRENT or a Temporary BLOCKADE!
I've done some quick research on weapon effects. The best weapon to use against a zombie is one that hits FAST. Speed is essential when it comes to deterring zombies. Crash Bomb can be used to plant "Mines" Ahead of yourself, allowing the bomb to explode, stunning the zombie with its many explosions. Water Wave works well when running or on higher ground but it can be dodged. Pharoah Shot can be used to hit an enemy hard or at a distance, possibly to distract them. Hard Knuckle seems to work best at inflicting damage on these zombies but it's difficult to AIM. Same with Super Arm. Throwing those big chunks of rock aint a walk in the park....
Will continue research... hopefully someone finds this journal and learn from people's mistakes...
11/18/200X
The terrain around you can be used to its fullest. Various locations can be used to YOUR advantage. When you enter a new location, establish where the traps are and identify what weapons you have... but for some odd reason, one of the entire groups get infected. That... 'First' ends up becoming the strongest, having to take a LOT more damage from the recent infections. Meaning people this 'first' infects are alot weaker. A Fully charged Atomic Fire can probably take 1 or 2 down, depending where you aim. But be careful, only charge your atomic fire if you KNOW you're alone. Otherwise...
It'll just be a dinner-bell sounding out... *Crash* Sunnova- My group's been taken down! Gotta escape.
*Sigh* 11/19/200X
Things arent looking good, there's alot more undead than living at the moment... I found out a few things about these zombies. If they fall underwater, they're unable to jump out at times so they HAVE to climb out. However, in places like Bubble Man's location, they can jump high. Same with the stage with that giant whale-bot... amazed that thing hasnt gotten infected yet. The key is to use such "low gravity" to your advantage. Be it high jumping, smashing someone aside with Tornado Storm (which is perfect in Air Man's and Bomb Man's location.)
Gravity Man's location... this is one almost PERFECT place to hide. With the constantly shifting gravity, it may be perfect for hiding in a high area with a rapid fire weapon or Crash Bombs. When the gravity goes downward, zombies are rendered UNABLE To climb, thereby giving you some breathing room. However, if the gravity goes back UP, then you got trouble.
I'd go into details about each individual location... but my memory circuits are almost overloaded, I'm unable to remember each location's designated name. I've been running for almost the entire time I've started recording and writing this... I Havent had a chance to recharge... I fear I may end up shutting down before I can help anyone else... I have to keep pressing forward. For Doctor Light, for Roll, for Megaman... and everyone else still alive.
... I hope my friends arent infected...
12/01/200X
I've finally managed to recharge myself under the safety of a military base... This place is full of humans, people rendered incapable of infection. They have a fighting chance! Unfortunately they're extremely wary of me, being susceptible to infection.
I managed to survive for so long because I followed a few rules I set MYSELF up with... Hopefully you'll learn from these as well...
1. Conserve ammo and use weapons as a deterrent.
2. Try to trick zombies into thinking you're going one direction and go another. They may not fall for it so be aware.
3. If you locate a Charge Kick Powerup, DO NOT use it against the zombies, use it to run.
4. If a zombie runs, do not follow! It's probably an intelligent zombie leading you into a trap.
5. Know the possible hiding spots and try to intercept hiding zombies.
6. KEEP MOVING!! If you try to hide, there's a HIGH Chance a zombie MAY find you. It's safer to keep moving...
7. Zombies tend to swarm mindlessly in great numbers, use their simple mindedness against them and try to get them to block each other. I'd suggest using a crash bomb on them to give you some breathing room.
8. ALWAYS assume a zombie is in hiding. Better to be safe than sorry.
9. Ricochet weapons are your friend! The Scissor weapons can be a damn good weapon for checking corners to see if an infected's hiding. Try to calculate trajectories before throwing. Gemini Beam's good because it repeatedly bounces off many walls, Ring Boomerang works well as well. Napalm Bomb also works well because it bounces alot before detonating. Hyper bomb's best because it inflicts massive damage... but it takes a little too long to detonate.
10. Whilst running, try to use weapons that take time to detonate like the Hyper Bomb, Crash bomb and Napalm Bomb.
11. Skull Shield is your BEST FRIEND! Use it in a pinch when you're surrounded by a zombies and they're blocking the exits, If you got W-tanks, best use them when your shield is down to 1/4 of its charge. Use it in emergencies because you cannot fight back when it's engaged.
12. KNOW YOUR TERRAIN!! This is a big one. I've seen too many people fall victim to small pits that literally stop them dead and they end up swarmed, infected and turned against us... Plus knowing a few pit traps may be useful.
This is probably my final log... I'm gonna head out with copies of my journal and place them in sight for any survivors to take and hopefully learn from my mistakes... everyone's mistakes... and know where this virus came from.
Renegade X557... signing off... for who knows how long. *click*
There are many blank papers after the final log in the journal... and there's a pencil in the bindings. You now have a choice to add your own facts about this 'invasion.'
What will you add?
