Fight ‘Til Dawn is timed, and it has a multiplier, that means a couple things should be taken into account at all times:

  • Getting your multiplier up is the key to score, and dodging is an excellent way to do that. Just be careful, dodging doesn’t kill your enemies, the more attacks you dodge the longer your enemies live.
  • Time is of the essence, you can’t spend the whole game dodging or running around looking for weapons and ammo.
  • You get points for all enemies killed at dawn and that factors in the multiplier.
Those are key points, but there’s more to it than just general knowledge. Strategy and action, right?
  • The crossbow is very powerful and it penetrates darkness, it’s a great weapon to have at all times, just don’t miss.
  • Second on the list of incredibly useful weapons is the shotgun, choose between the two based on the layout of the level.
  • Not every weapon is your own. Those annoying Taken grenadiers? Their grenades are incredibly powerful, if you can manipulate their throws, you may be able to help thin the heard in a dire situation.
  • Don’t focus your flashlight for too long, the longer you focus the closer the enemies behind you get.
  • Automatic weapons are useful for fighting off hordes, it’s useful to have one powerful weapon and one automatic weapon.
  • Plan around use ammo boxes when they’re most effective and provide the most ammo. There’s no reason to use the ammo boxes too early, but don’t wait forever; you’re on a time limit no matter what you do.
