Guide to being a Top Survivor to open the Elite Shop

Introduction

Becoming the Weekly Top Survivor (abbreviated "TS") is one of the two
ways to access the Elite Shop. The main goal is to achieve more exp
than any other player for that week without dying.

Yes, without dying. If you die, all the exp you gained doesn't count toward the title and you have to start over again.

Note: You don't need a GAU to win TS.

While this title is harder to get compared to TPK, and requires more money, you have some advantages over it:

1. You don't need to buy a GAU and Reactive XT or have them rent you from someone.
   
2. You can do it all on your own, as i did myself, and you don't need any support if you know what you're doing.
   
3. You get a shitload of levels = more stats and proficiency.
   
4. If you are a Roleplay Class and/or have GM you're advantaged above who doesn't.
   
5. You don't need to be in American time zone to face opponents, you can freely grind according to your own time zone.
   

Planning

There are two variables in TS: Time and Money. The methods vary on depending on these.

"I have money but few time"
You have money so you can afford a Grenade Launcher with either Ghost
Ammo or a shitload of Grenades. This is the easiest way to win TS, and
the most expensive.

Even if you don't have much time, you'll kill 2-3-4 times faster than
others so you'll make up for the time you lose. Be sure to have 100
Accuracy and 108 reloading.

"I have a lot of time, but I'm not rich"
You don't need to be rich to win TS: i for one have won it with a Bull
while fighting against 2 GAU users which were obviously richer than me.

The best weapon is definitely the Steel 090: it deals high dps and it
doesn't even require ammo. If you don't want to use the Steel 090 you
can use either Pistols or Rifles, you won't spend a lot of ammo and
achieve a good amount of exp.

Shotguns are not very recommended for cheapos as they kill slowly and use a lot of ammo.

"I have both time and money"
Just use Grenades until your bank is empty. Be sure to have 100 Accuracy and 108 reloading.

Obviously you have to stock up on food, barricading material and
ammo, feel free to fill both your storage, inventory and selling list.

So, now that you understood the theory and made decisions, here is the practice.


The practice

Now that you've chosen your method and got what you need, it's time to go.

If you are using Grenades
Go one block away from FP and find an open area, without many obstruction; you will need free space.

Alternatively find a spot where you can nade zeds without them
hitting you. Get aggro and when the zeds swarm you, start circling them
and shoot grenades in the middle, sprinting whenever they start their
attack animation.

Be sure to stay away from Tendrils and try to use your bullets on big
crowds, avoid using them to kill 2-3 zeds but switch to another weapon
in that case.

If you are using the Steel 090
Find a zone with a tight entrance and stick the Steel 090 in the
entrance and destroy everything that gets in, paying attention to
Tendrils and watching out for possible Titans.

Ranged zombies can be a problem; make sure you have a "Plan B" in
case you have to move awar from there. Alternatively you can circle
zombies and let them be destroyed by the saw.

If you are using Pistols or Rifles
Pretty much the same as the grenade method, get aggro and clear it with
your Pistol/Rifle, prioritizing Tendrils/Spiders to avoid getting hit.

The Outpost Attack
Doing the OA is indeed fundamental for winning TS. To clear the OA
efficiently you need either a GAU or a grenade launcher of any kind (the
PAW-20 is much better than all nade launchers you can use this far).

Be sure not to die! Use the safe spots listed in the guide because if you die you will have to do it all over.

if that gun was from last year why would someone hold that for a year to sell it. I wonder if maybe it is a special item once again in the elite shop. I am just saying.
