Prioritize Upgrading the Handgun

Prioritize Upgrading the Handgun

When upgrading weapons, prioritize the Handgun. The Handgun ammo can easily be acquired. With the Handgun, it is less likely to run out of Ammo. When upgrading, it is recommended to prioritize power and Ammo reload speed to minimize vulnerabilities.

Also Prioritize Expanding the Attache Case

Also Prioritize Expanding the Attache Case

When purchasing items, prioritize expanding the Attache Case. Expanding the Attache Case allows for more items to be carried, reducing the chances of it becoming full. It also allows for carrying more recovery Herbs and Ammo materials, so it is recommended to increase the capacity of the Attache Case first.

Craft Ammo When Running Low

Craft Ammo When Running Low

If you run out of Ammo during exploration, craft Ammo to replenish it. Ammo can be crafted by selecting material items and choosing the craft option, so it is advisable to collect materials whenever you come across them to make it easier to overcome emergencies.

Craft herbs until your maximum health increases

Craft herbs until your maximum health increases

Craft herb items until you have maximum health. The effects of crafting herb items vary depending on their color. Combining green + red + yellow herbs will not only increase your maximum health but also greatly restore your health.

Early Game: Shotgun and Handgun

In the early game, it is recommended to use the starting Handgun and the Shotgun that can be found in the village. Even if you don't know where to find the Shotgun, you can purchase it from the Merchant, so consider buying it if you feel insecure with just the Handgun.

Mid Game: Submachine Gun is also recommended

In the mid-game, it is recommended to use the Handgun along with the Submachine Gun. The Submachine Gun is a weapon that can be fired rapidly, making it easier to hit enemies with a barrage of bullets. It can also cover the firepower concerns when attacking bosses, which the Handgun may not be sufficient.
