I have seen good walkthroughs of this game and some not so good but mostly good ones ... anyway in this post you will learn weaknesses, hidden stuff, various places for weapons, zombie classes and ways to defeat them (effective ones... duh).

Know the enemies and their weaknesses

Zombie
The unlucky citizen. Aim for the head for a quick take down.
Runner
A zombie that charges at your barricade. Kill these ones first. Shooting their legs may make them lose their balance.
Zombie Dog
These animals are the fastest but they can easily be taken down with a few shots.
Army/Swat Zombies
The hardest enemies in the game. They have bullet-proofed vests and protective helmets. Weak guns will just tickle these SOBs. Go for the legs if your using an automatic and they should go down fairly easy. A high powered gun may be able to pierce through armor but your best bet is always their legs.
Weapon Zombies
These come in all shapes and sizes, fat, skinny, runners, walkers, Army, Swat, you name âem, they got âem. These guys will kill any survivor near them when they get up to your barricade, so try and take them out first. They can be identified by carrying a 2X4, Machete, Sledge Hammer, and other various hand weapons. Donât let them come close!
TIP

Good, now since we met our new âfriendsâ we can get down to bussiness. As stated before, your day time hours, a total of about 12, should be spent searching stores and houses for guns and supplies, you might pick up a survivor when doing this too. Gun shops, police stations, and some households will be where you will want to search first, as these have the highest chance of yielding one of those ever so pretty toys. Other stores and most houses will give you supplies, which you need to travel between towns, and the occasional trap.
Fat zombies have alot of health and your more likely to hit their shoulders than their heads, shoot for the legs to take these guys down quick.
Know more about the weapons, Traps and Survivors

Guns
I guess you all know what this weapon is for. Searching police stations and gun stores will almost always reward you with a new one.
Traps
Traps come in three shapes bear traps, exploding traps, and land mines. The bear trap will catch any zombie that walks over it and gives you a nice chance to score an easy head shot. The Exploding barrels will trigger if you shoot them with a ranged weapon, taking out anything standing too close, careful this may trigger other barrels close by to accidentally roll. The last but not the least is the land-mine. It is one of the best zombie killers in the game but it is one of the rarest items on the game.
Survivors
Ahhh, company at last. Much better than survivors in the first game, these guys can use any weapon you equip them with. You can equip your survivors on the screen where you chose the weapons youâll carry for the upcoming night. Just click-and-drag the weapon you want them to have to the bottom right and drop it in one of the nice red-outlined boxes.
Know the places in the game or the map

Glendale
The starting town, searching the local buildings will get you these goodies;
Revolver

Good damage, and six shots. Fairly slow reload time. Very accurate and good for the first few towns.
Chainsaw

Your best friend and off-hand for the rest of the game, this may have slow refilling time but will hack any zombie banging on your barricade.
Whistlerâs Grove
he next town. Search for these weapons;
Compound bow

Fast reload time and fairly good damage.
Shotgun

One of my favorites early on, great damage and its shot will spread through multiple adjacent enemies. Good gun till you find some in later towns, great to equip a survivor with.
Claysburg

Search the gun stores/police department for these great guns;
Uzi

Good clip of 50 bullets and great damage. Rate of fire is superb, should be your primary for awhile.
Ump 45

Submachine gun, recommended to pass it to a survivor for best results.
Aspenwood
Now your are in the middle of nowhere, not too many shops.
Sawn-off

Not nearly as good as the version in the first one, this is gonna be discarded very easily, not even recommended for a survivor.
Hunting rifle

One of my favorites, one shot, one kill but only has one bullet before you need to reload.
Jonestown
We are closing in on Union City. This city is pretty **** big, lots of places to search, but we just want to find the goodies here. A security company and police station is where you can find.
M4A1

Not a bad gun, but not the best reload time. A survivor will appreciate this.
Ak-47

Seems to have better damage than your Uzi, but the reload time in comparison is just too slow. Good for survivors!
Grenades

Do some good damage, and damages clusters of zombies. Would be a useful secondary arm, if your willing to give up your Chainsaw.
Fort Tran
You are right before Union city and this is the last level, if you made it this far you should have no problem beating the game. Just donât stick around too long. This city hides the best weapon in the game.
M429 Minime

This thing is massive! It holds 200 bullets per clip, and the reload time is actually not too shabby for the clip size it has. The damage is superb. Best Gun in the game and not too hard to find.
RPG

If you need to take out a group clustered together, look no further. Upsides: High splash damage, Downside: Slow reload time and can only fire once at a time. Might be fun to see a survivor use it.
Last minute Tips:
When choosing your primary arm, just remember: Fast reload and fairly decent clip size/damage will be the best way to beat the game.
Only pick up weapons you know youâll use.
Using your daylight time to search more shops instead of houses.
Not sticking around for too long in any single town, the 40 days they give you is barely enough for some people.
Donât equip all your survivors with any particular type of gun, for example. All survivors with sub machine guns wont fair too well. Remember that survivors donât fire nearly as much as you do, so high damage weapons make up for this.
Make sure you pay close attention to the amount of hours your spending searching through houses, a house that needs 6 hours to search through could be replaced with two three hour houses, increasing the chance you could find something useful.
Positioning: Depending on where you guy is on the map can help determine the trajectory of your next shot. So try to position yourself so you are directly across from your target, thereby increasing your chance of scoring a head-shot. If the zombies are in the middle, move to the middle, so on and so forth.
Houses and Aparments are practically the same, and both of which are overlooked. If your are running ahead of schedule check them out for possible survivors.
Get out of Aspenwood as quick as possible. Itâs almost worthless, the Hunting Rifle is the only thing you can gain from there, and that works better in the hands of a survivor.
