Call of Duty Ghosts: the 5 best tips for extinction mode

With our tips, you have an increased chance of survival as a beginner in the extinction mode of "Call of Duty: Ghosts". We'll show you how to compete round by round against the increasingly strong alien hordes and how you and your teammates can best spend the money you get on weapons, extra items and skill points.

Extinction tip 5: time is precious

• Don't try to jog through the extinction mode. A hasty style of play will doom you in later rounds if you don't have the resources to buy weapons or upgrades.
• The short minute between rounds is important: look for items, buy ammunition and armor and reload all your weapons. Don't forget to invest money in traps and guns. They can do a little work for you.
• Even if you've dawdled between rounds, you don't need to be alarmed. As long as there is no drill or helicopter to protect, the alien waves are easier to put down. Especially the last nests should not be worked through one after the other, be sure to buy weapons here before you start drilling.

Extinction tip 4: keep your eyes open!

• Search the map for randomly appearing objects as best you can. You will often miss useful items or weapons.
• In the boxes you will not only find ammunition, but also money, attachments for your weapons or special items such as the SOFLAM air strike or the hypno knife. With the former, you summon three mini-air strikes; the latter is a throwing knife that turns hit aliens into allies.

Extinction tip 3: watch your money!

• Don't spend your money constantly on new weapons. This leaves you with more skill points in the end and you do not need to replenish special ammunition.
• Since you can only carry $ 6, 000 at a time, make sure you spend your money at the right time. Nothing is more annoying than making "too much" money. Because the excess dollars are of no use to you and could have been spent on ammunition or skill points.
• Before you start drilling into the alien nests, you should spend your money. You get $ 800 for each normal nest, and $ 3800 for each large nest. So make sure you don't have more than $ 5200 or $ 2200 with you beforehand.

Absorbance Tip 2: Complete the challenges

• For each nest, your team is also challenged, such as "kill all aliens with melee attacks until the nest is destroyed". Do not hesitate, every successfully completed challenge brings you a valuable skill point!
• Even though these challenges are usually very simple, you should make sure that every team member also contributes to the fulfillment. Otherwise, the trouble is great when an easy-earned skill point flutes.

Extinction tip 1: Coordinate with your teammates

• Make sure that all team members distribute their skill points individually. There is no use if all four players specialize in the same type of ammunition.
• At least one player (no more than two) should specialize in ammunition. This ensures regular replenishment and can limit spending. Higher-level levels that have already unlocked explosive and armor-piercing ammunition are best suited for this.
• Another player should always put two to four points on armor. In total, that's only $ 1000 and the armor pays off later in the game.
• A player should use some points for equalizers and attack packs. The extra firepower helps against an excessive number of aliens and should be provided by the player with the highest level, since he has the best loadout available.
• The last player in the team becomes the best weapon specialist. In the first stage this gives 20 percent more weapon damage, in the fourth stage a massive 50 percent. In addition, weapon changes and reloading are accelerated.

In this practical tip we will show you which weapons are best used for the multiplayer of "Call of Duty: Ghosts".
