Changed Hard (Misc Stories):
Recommended to play with 4-5 people to collect the keycards and activate bombs faster (Reward of 100 Z$, 200Z$ if x2 weekends).
Contamination Hard (Legacy Stories):
Recommended to play solo if you're able to do so (usually around 8 mins). Sniper and assault are the best due to their focus abilities making the boss fight much easier (100Z$ reward/200Z$ with x2 weekends).
2 Days Later CH1 Hard/Nightmare (Zombie Blitz Origins):
Recommended to play with 3-4 players (2-4 players if user owns a private server) and at least 1 medic to keep the gameplay time short and efficient (usually 12-13 mins gameplay with 150Z$ reward, 300Z$ if x2 weekends).
Lab Breach Hard (Legacy Stories):
Recommended to play the map alone to save time and play as Support Class since this map doesn't have any ammo boxes around (usually 8-10 minutes gameplay if solo, 10-12 if multiplayer) with a reward of 100Z$, 200Z$ if on x2 weekends.
20 Floors Hard (Misc Stories):
Recommended to play in a team of 5-6 to get faster times, or to play solo for more EXP (usually 13-20 minutes of gameplay for both solo & multiplayer). If you are soloing, it is recomended to use support or sniper if you have good enough aim and weapons unlocked.
Base Hawk Samurai Hard (Scenarios):
This map is best for katana EXP grind but it isn't recommended for Z$ grind since it usually takes more than 12 mins to finish a match. Recommended to play with more than 3 players (2,000 EXP averagely, doubled on weekends).
Boat House Medium/Hard (Scenarios):
It is recommended for both EXP & Z$ grind and to play with 3+ people to handle the hordes more easily.
Medium mode reward: 50Z$, 100Z$ on x2 weekends (+100Z$ if with bonus).
Hard mode reward: 100Z$, 200Z$ on x2 weekends (+100Z$ if with bonus).
Live Event Hard (Scenarios):
Recommended for EXP only since it can take up to 18 mins to finish one match. Never get careless in the surgery room, memorize the spawning order of hordes. If overwhelmed, the best choice is to run in circles and gun the horde down swiftly before another one spawns. Do not go near the smashers as it can deal up to 55 HP/hit to a nearby player when having contact (100Z$/200Z$ if on x2 weekends, +100Z$ if with bonus).

Marketing & Trading Section
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Marketplace:
This is where people get to buy skins and sell skins for Z$. Simply go to Shop and click on "market" button at the bottom right.
Things you have to consider before buying/selling anything:
Price: The amount of money considered to buy a gun skin.
Demand: The popularity of the skin.
Ex: (skin name) has high value but bad demand so it will usually get underpayed.
Extra infos:
If a skin is expensive but the demand is mediocre, it will not be worth buying.
Certain skins will most likely not appear inside the Market because of the rarity and how expensive they are
(Ex: Vampire Vityaz).
Pay attention to the skin prices, rarity and demand before buying them.
Be smart when you sell skins (follow the average market price of your skin, do NOT make your own prices).

This class is always recommended in the squad with Its ability to revive other players faster than any other class. It can also help by putting medkits which heal players back to 100% HP when used (only 3 medkits per round, each can only be used once). Unfortunately, Medic class has the lowest DPS (Damage per second) unlockable weapons, but some are still helpful in bad situations when your allies are down and you want a fast way to support them during a horde/boss event.
Support Class:
Support has the ability to give ammo to other players by placing ammo boxes on the ground (only 3 ammo boxes per round, each can only be used once) and has unlockable LMGs with decent dmg & penetration that are helpful in situations where players are against massive hordes or armored hordes (Ex: Nightmare mode). This class also has shotguns that are good at single target damage like a boss or mini-boss.
Sniper Class:
The Sniper class also has the "Focus" ability which allow players to have a higher DPS (damage per second). Most of the unlockable weapons for this class have decent penetration and can deal heavy damage on strong individuals (Ex: Armed smasher) or clear hordes rapidly.
