Competition ends on Sunday 16th : Date changed due to E3 onslaught! 30th June 2013. All entries are placed in our magic randomizer, swirled around and squeezed out by our lovely community manager Hanna. OK, so it’s not magic but it IS a randomizer that Hanna uses…. Or it could be a dartboard, some Tequila and a blindfold I can never remember! As ever the editors decision is final. Please make sure you’re contactable as we will need an address to send the rather heavy guide too!
Take over a walmart or costco. For fighting fashion a shield and spear, funnel zombies into small alley ways to kill. If only portal gun was real
I’d hold up at a mini mart/gas station. It’s small so it wouldn’t take much to fortify it, there’s food to last you a pretty long time, and with the gas being there if you had to make a quick getaway you’d have ample gas to drive around looking for a new hideout or to collect supplies.

Many people make the fatal mistake of using firearms when attempting to fend off a zombie swarm. It might make you look cool if you’re updating your Facebook profile picture or filming a TV show, but ammo is scarce and the acoustics of the weapon often attract additional undead and you can quickly find yourself overrun. Instead, equip yourself with two sharp mid-size blades – I found mine cheap off some crazy guy on Craigslist. 9V batteries are easy to scavenge as are a few feet of copper wire. Attach to your swords with some duct tape and you have now have a death machine that has quite the shock. In fact, I’ve even caused a zombie or two to crap their pants.
The undead have terrible sight. Think of that old women driving with the welding glasses on and you will have an idea. So while they might not be able to tell the difference between Jonah Hill and Rebel Wilson, they have a keen sense of smell. So cover yourself up the entrails of dead animals to mask your scent. Congratulations, you’re now one step closer to becoming a zombie killing machine.
Remember to eat. People often forget killing zombie hordes is a marathon, not a sprint and you will need your stamina. I know Sam B likes his beer, but I find protein bars work best. They are light weight, small, give lots of energy and taste terrible, so if they go stale you won’t notice.
If you find yourself in a jam, a paintball gun and some compressed air can fire rapid projectiles quietly at high speeds. This helps punch a hole in their attack so you can make your escape. Or push Purna in front of them. Chances are it was her using the damn revolver that got you into this mess in the first place.
NEVER and I do mean never hole up inside a WAL-MART. If you thought the customers were crazy alive well my friends you should see them dead. If Zombies should know spandex is a privilege not a right. You have been warned… get your protein bars elsewhere.
If all else fails maybe Hanna will hook you up with a survival guide you might not last long, but at least you will know where the collectibles are.
