Dead Farm Massacre Tips and Tricks Guide: Hints, Cheats and Strategies

Dead Farm Massacre is a new defense game for the iPhone and other iOS devices. You play as a farmer and his daughter, and your goal is to progress through 20 rounds of relentless attack by all kinds of rural zombies, from rats and rabbits to big farmer zombies and (oddly enough) minotaurs, as well as bomb mules. This is an extremely difficult game, but there are ways to make it easier. Read on for some tips and tricks for Dead Farm Massacre!

The crossbow is almost completely worthless as a weapon. Don’t even bother upgrading it too far. Instead, try to get the pistol as quickly as you can as it’s a more powerful weapon after upgrades, but especially because it holds far more ammo after upgrades. With just the crossbow, you are going to run out of ammo very quickly.

Unlock that, then the rifle, then the shotgun as soon as possible. Each one is successively stronger than the other. However, if you lose, your upgrades will be reversed and you will have all of your pre-upgrade coins plus 20 percent of what you earned on the round that you had just lost. So if you lose, that’s the perfect opportunity to change up your strategy a bit.

Once you start facing the Minotaurs, the game becomes absolutely impossible without cheating. However, if you shoot and then switch weapons immediately, the reload time of each of your guns will be cancelled out. Tap back and forth between the rifle and the pistol and shoot rapidly in order to defeat the minotaurs before they get to you.

Before you get to the 20th stage, though, Dead Farm Massacre will become literally impossible to beat without buying the machine gun or any of the other upgrades which cost real money in the app store. Once this point comes around, you’ll pretty much have to at least buy the farmer’s daughter or a machine gun upgrade, or the gun turret to help out your defense.
