Round 32, done with the LSAT and Trench Shotgun

One Window is usually regarded as one of, if not the hardest maps in michael's zombies, and while I personally disagree with that sentiment, I do see where it's coming from. With this guide, I guarantee that you will reach at least the mid 20s. Unless you're just really bad, i guess.

Chapter 1: The Map

One Window is the smallest map in Michaels Zombies, and one of the simplest design-wise. It has 4 perks, which are the following:

Quick Revive: Very useful, can buy it 3 times. I typically get it on round 1 since it's so cheap.

Double Tap: Also very useful, slightly depends on weapon choice but I recommend it.

Juggernog: Essential, otherwise you will go down very fast on high rounds.

Speed Cola: The most important, I usually get it before jug even though its more expensive.

In addition, there is the Pack A Punch machine and the mystery box, which will be important for:

Chapter 2: The Weapons

This map lacks mule kick, so your weapon choice is VERY important. Ideally, you have a farming weapon with good ammo and firerate, and an emergency back up gun(BUG) for when zombies get out of the window.

Some weapons I use are:

Mauser: Your starter handgun. Earns a lot of points, but completely useless after round 6 or so.

Any SMG: All great early-mid game farming weapons, although the type 100 burns through ammo a bit too fast. I think the classic P-90 or MP-40 is the best, but they all stack up pretty close.

Classic Rocket Launcher: Surprisingly good. Only holds one shot, but has a ton of damage in a blast radius and a fast reload. Panzershreck is also an option, but you can't see anything while aiming with it so I just hate using it.

Raygun: Great as both a BUG and farming weapon, although keep in mind it has finite ammo and can't create max ammos and such. Damage falls off a little late game.

M2 Flamethrower: My personal favorite farming gun. Infinite ammo and seemingly infinite pierce, plus a little bit of knockback, what more do you want? The classic flamethrower is also here, but I swear on my life it does less damage. I have no clue why, but it feels like it has a way slower TTK.

WunderWaffle: Arguably the best BUG. Infinite damage, chains between zombies. Reload is slow for its capacity, but you can take advantage of the time zombies need to emerge.

Trench Shotgun: My personal BUG. Fast firerate, high ammo, great reload speed, 1 shots well into the mid 20s at a surprising range.

Saiga 12: Decent as both a BUG and a farming weapon in early game and even the start of mid game. You can try to pack-a-punch it, but usually you can get a ray gun by the time you can afford it.

In addition, here are some guns to avoid:

PTRS-41: Slow reload, slow firerate. I assumed it might be good because of Nocturn experience, but its only good there because of Panzermichael. its garbage here.

LMGs: Don't get me wrong, in mid game with a good secondary, the LMGs can serve well as farming guns and even BUGs, but on one window, you just don't have space to reload.

Chapter 3: Gameplay

Now that you know which guns to use, how do you use them?

To start off, I recommend trying to do the classic 6 shot and knife method. Its a lot harder here, but you should get enough points to get quick revive and roll the box. ALWAYS roll with your back to the box, otherwise you get a hug from the devs.

You should get all perks around waves 6-10, and a ray gun and wunderwaffle sometime around then too.

I typically like to stay pressed right up against the window, holding down my farming gun, which is always the M2. When it runs out of loaded ammo, I swap to my shotgun until it hits around 50% ammo, and then I repeat.

When I'm below half shotgun ammo, I move back to the box and let the zombies move towards me hoping for a max ammo. Don't try to train, it won't work.

Pro tip: If you get an insta-kill, use your knife. This goes for all maps, you earn more points and save ammo.

Chapter 4: Conclusion

And there you have it. Thats pretty much all of the knowledge I've gained from all of my many runs and few successes. Happy Fragging!

Not the best but I believe this is a new personal best.

Could have done better if I kept an eye on my ammo.

I might post a guide explaining how to solo one window later.

Do the M2 and classic flamethrowers have the same damage?

It really feels like the classic takes longer to kill, I play a lot of one window and the M2 feels like it takes about half the time to kill that the classic needs.
