Tips[]

Overall
  • Do not continuously fire with the semi-automatic fire mode as it becomes wildly inaccurate, aside the fact that the projectiles travel slower than normal bullets.
  • A mode can be inaccurate too, fire it with bursts at long range engagements.
  • Don't aim to the head using the secondary mode since it won't perform a headshot and it will be also harder to aim. Aim to the body in B mode
Zombie Infection
  • Players who own the AK-47 Paladin in inventory will start the round with the Morale Boost at 120%, and can go up to 160% without other players.
  • Combine it with Deadly Shot for better performance in A mode.
  • Its secondary mode can knock zombies back, no matter what. Even a berserk Regular Zombie or a dashing Ganymede.
    • The knockback power can be an issue as it essentially helps an enemy escape in Zombie Hero mode, especially Lights, Sting and Banshee types too.
    • Never use Deadly Shot with the secondary mode since it can't perform headshots even with Deadly Shot activated
  • After enhanced, the damage being tremendous and can kill the zombie with easily
Zombie Scenario
  • Its A mode can deal 500 ~ 600 damage per shot to bosses, while its B mode can deal 2,000 ~ 3,000 damage per shot.
  • Its B mode is perfect for wiping a horde of zombies due to its massive splash damage. Perfect for rushing through a group of zombies or clearing a horde surrounding you.
