BLOODMONEY! Beginner's Survival Guide
Mastering Resource Management
In BLOODMONEY!, survival is less about firepower and more about brainpower. Here's how to manage your resources like a pro.
When to Use Health Packs:
- Only when your health drops below 30% - don't waste them early
- Before entering a new area with unknown threats
- After clearing a difficult section but before the next challenge
- Never use them at full health - they don't stack or provide bonuses
Where to Find Them:
- Hidden in corners and behind obstacles
- Dropped by certain enemies after defeat
- Found in supply crates scattered throughout levels
- Sometimes hidden in destructible environment objects
Pro Tip: The risk of using health packs too early is that you'll be caught without healing when you really need it. Patience is key to survival.
Conservation Strategies:
- Aim for headshots - they deal more damage and save ammo
- Use melee attacks on weakened enemies to finish them off
- Don't spray and pray - controlled bursts are more effective
- Learn enemy patterns to predict their movements
Melee vs. Ranged Combat:
- Use Melee When: Facing single weak enemies, conserving ammo, or in tight spaces
- Use Ranged When: Multiple enemies, strong opponents, or when you have distance advantage
- Hybrid Approach: Weaken with ranged, finish with melee
Pro Tip: Different weapons have different ammo efficiency. Experiment to find which weapons give you the best damage-per-bullet ratio.
Types of Power-ups:
Damage Boost
Best used before boss fights or large enemy groups
Speed Boost
Perfect for escaping dangerous situations or repositioning
Shield
Use when entering unknown areas or before difficult encounters
Infinite Ammo
Save for the toughest battles - don't waste on easy enemies
Pro Tip: Power-ups have limited duration. Don't activate them until you're ready to make the most of their effects.
Grenade Tactics:
- Throw grenades into groups of enemies for maximum damage
- Use them to clear enemies behind cover
- Cook grenades (hold before throwing) to prevent enemies from escaping
- Bounce grenades around corners to hit enemies you can't see
Mine Placement:
- Place mines in chokepoints where enemies must pass
- Use them to cover your retreat or flanks
- Set traps near valuable items to catch greedy enemies
- Remember where you placed them - don't trigger your own mines!
Advanced Crowd Control:
- Combine different gadgets for devastating effects
- Use environmental hazards alongside your gadgets
- Time your gadget usage with enemy spawn patterns
- Save your best gadgets for emergency situations
Pro Tip: Gadgets are limited resources. Use them strategically rather than spamming them. One well-placed mine can be worth three grenades thrown randomly.
