Aiming
Overview
Aiming determines firearm accuracy and how reliably your shots connect at range.
Why It Matters
A low-Aiming survivor misses badly, wasting irreplaceable ammunition and generating noise for nothing. Aiming is what turns a gun from a panic button into a tool.
Fastest XP Methods
Carefully fire on isolated zombies from a safe distance. The Aiming skill rises through use; controlled, deliberate shooting beats panicked spraying for both XP and ammo economy.
Best Books
Firearm-focused skill books raise the XP multiplier for Aiming and Reloading.
VHS Priority
Some VHS content boosts firearm skills; books are the steadier investment.
Common Mistakes
Treating guns as a primary weapon at low Aiming and burning through ammo; shooting in crowded areas and pulling a horde with the noise.
