Tips:

Combine, Resistance, and Tribals get money for killing eachother!

Water Pumps are a more active way to make money while basing, but you need to time the market right!

Hobos and Tribals make more money for each zombie kill, but are at a higher risk while hunting.

Killing bosses can net you some quick cash.

Certain high-level jobs can cost money per minute played.

Raiding the Combine Armory has a lot of requirements, but can net some amazing rewards...

Campfires can keep the zombies away!

Lore:

Society has fallen. Not by a nuclear war, nor by some unknown disease, or by a new predator, but by magic. The magic that people scorned has destroyed everything... An insane necromancer has raised an unending army of undead, summoned creatures from other dimensions, and created widespread, easy-to-use spells to allow humans a chance to fight back. Here, in the abandoned city of Pripyat, is the epicenter of the disaster. Governments from around the world keep attempting to erase it, but the area has been protected by a seemingly invincible barrier. Many people enter the danger zone to attempt to find answers, but none leave. Can you figure out how to survive The Fall?
