    Ok here's just a few tips I can give

    Wave 1: get the shotgun from the bar, you'll easily kill a few zombies with this
    Wave 2: personally I made sure I went in having every possible crafted item
    Wave 3: not available until september 1st
    General tip: avoid groups of zombies, go after a zombie that is on it's own and if you get surrounded run to the other side of the area.

    Home rewards: shown on the Listen@Home screen are 3 rewards
    Dead Island Electric Machete (seems to be a wall item)
    Dead Island suitcase (think it's just an ornament)
    Dead Island Deck Chair

    Dead Island Guide

    Thanks to eagle-eyed Rachel for spotting this...

    After you’ve taken the “Zombie Survivor Quiz” and unlocked Dead Island-inspired clothing items and snapped photos of yourself posing with the walking dead in the hilarious “Zombie Photo Shoot” game, approach the tiki bar in PlayStation Home’s Central Plaza to play the Dead Island-themed “Zombie Survivor Game.” Hack, slash, bludgeon, shoot, decapitate, and dismember swarms of zombies in a series of bloody, hyper-violent challenges that reward survivors with special Dead Island content – including the “Exploding Zombie Bait,” a mega-powerful weapon for use in Dead Island that can only be acquired by surviving the onslaught in PlayStation Home. Here’s a list of all the challenges (and what you’ll win for completing them):

    • One Man Army – Survive all three waves of zombies in single player.
    • Iron Will – Survive an entire wave in multiplayer without being downed.
    • Nobody Left Behind – Survive an entire wave in multiplayer with all four players.*Reward for completing challenges 1-3: Dead Island Deck Chair furniture item.
    • “A” for Style – Kill zombies using every available finishing move in single or multiplayer.
    • You Got Red on You – Stack up 100 kills in single or multiplayer.
    • They Belong to Me Now – Cut off 200 limbs in single or multiplayer.*Reward for completing challenges 4-6: Dead Island Suitcase furniture item.
    • Handyman – Craft 10 different weapons.
    • Here, Have Some Random Stuff – Craft and donate 10 items to the community.
    • Smorgasbord of Stuff – Craft and donate every type of item to the community.*Reward for completing challenges 7-9: Dead Island Electrical Machete furniture item.
    • Completionist – Complete all nine challenges.*Reward for completing challenge 10: Exploding Meat weapon for use in Dead Island.
    Football kick the head off of a twitching, dismantled corpse (yes, that’s a real finishing move)

    If you make an electric machete, you can electrocute a group of zombies around the shower. Counts as one of the finishing moves I think. ANyone found any others?

    What do you all think of the fighting mechanics?

    It is locked until the 25th Myst, But seems in the morning it was unlocked and guessed they fixed it and its locked now.. And the fighting mechanics are very good in my opinion and fun to play with..

    Fighting mechanics are good and you have to quickly learn to work together in multiplayer. Parts of the game appear broken at the moment, for example, you can't see the leaderboard or check your scores.

    I found out that NA Home doesn't save your progress, even if you go out of Home. EU Home does save your progress.

    I'm hoping that it NA will fix theirs soon.

    None of your progress will save in this fricking game if you leave CP/Home Square and return. Geniuses at work again. DAMMIT! :mad: Honestly, do these people have a clue that they are in over their heads with Home? Any clue whatsoever???? Beta my ass!!

    Ooblag's is not working either...had no points and cant play game after saving to 20K when I visited to collect pts on my EU acct.

    Nope Recca--just went to EU and lost all of my progress there too. I needed one more there. Sick of wasting my F****** time on this BS!

    Sorry for ranting but I'm frustrated about a lot of things and Home doesn't help matters. Time to step back and enjoy the things that keep me happy.

    Yes, Trillian told me about this too, AND I might add, the DI Quiz in EU doesn't give you the Zombie Friend T-shirt! I did this twice and didn't get it. WTH? :p

    Everything seems to be back to normal. This morning at EU, I was able to get my Zombie Friend shirt, and I did some experimenting: I unlocked one of the challenges, got off, and came back in and found it saved. I played a few times, got more challenges unlocked, and returned again to find them still there. I also noticed the leaderboards was up instead of "Loading", and the dates of the locked waves and weapons were added too.

    You guys might want to try NA too.
