To clear the community level Arm Wrestling in Zombie Night Terror, establish directional control with an Overlord immediately, collect all mutation syringes scattered across the layout, and use specialized units to crack fortified human positions. Rushing armed defenders with standard infected depletes your horde; acquiring your full mutation toolkit turns the level into a straightforward sweep.
Controlling Early Horde Pathing
Uncontrolled zombies pace uselessly or fall off ledges, wasting time while armed survivors hold defensive lanes. Securing your route is the first priority.
- Infect an isolated civilian: Target a civilian positioned away from active guard sightlines to create your first zombie safely.
- Deploy an Overlord: Spend your initial DNA to convert a zombie into an Overlord at the first major junction.
- Route toward the lower conduits: Direct the horde downward toward unarmed victims to harvest DNA reserves before confronting armed guards.
Gathering Mutation Injectors
Arm Wrestling places mutation pickups in elevated corridors and locked chambers. Gather these upgrades before pushing defended choke points:
- Jumpers and Crawlers: Found along broken walkways. These allow infected to clear gaps and bypass hazardous floor drops.
- Bombers: Positioned behind light wooden obstacles. Bombers provide the explosive force needed to breach blast doors and clear clusters of guards.
- Tanks: Located in deeper facility sections. Tanks absorb heavy weapon fire and batter through reinforced metal barriers.
Avoid committing your main horde to fortified choke points until you unlock Bombers or Tanks. A single specialized mutation can eliminate defenses that would otherwise wipe out standard walkers.
Breaching Armed Defenses
Entrenched survivors armed with pistols and shotguns create lethal firing lanes in narrow hallways. Counter them with vertical pathing and targeted mutations:
| Defense Type | Threat Level | Tactical Response |
|---|---|---|
| Pistol Guards behind Doors | Moderate | Detonate a Bomber against the door when the guard turns away. |
| Elevated Shotgun Encampment | High | Use Jumpers to leap past the firing cone and attack from the rear. |
| Reinforced Security Choke Point | Very High | Send a Tank forward to draw fire, allowing faster infected to close in. |
When breaching armed nests, sacrifice a single infected as a Bomber directly at the doorway. The blast removes the door, eliminates or stuns nearby defenders, and opens a path for the main horde to overwhelm the survivors before they can fire.
Managing DNA and Clearing the Map
Conserve DNA throughout the puzzle. Eliminating panicked civilians trapped in corners keeps your DNA pool replenished and maintains horde momentum. If narrow corridors become congested, convert trailing walkers into Bombers to blast open secondary shortcuts and clear pathfinding bottlenecks.
Once the primary defensive posts are broken and all mutation pickups are secured, place an Overlord at the central junction to maintain continuous movement. Send Jumpers into upper vents and Tanks through structural debris to eliminate survivors hiding in remote offices and basements to trigger the stage victory.
