The Alpha Zombie usually starts with augmented attributes, including increased speed, and height attained by jumping.  Alpha Zombies usually start with the [[Gravity hammer (fiction)|Gravity Hammer]] as well as the [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|Energy Sword]].  Depending on the speed given to the Alpha Zombie, the player should accordingly use either the hammer for high speed rates, or energy sword for average speed rates.  Alpha Zombies also should come with shields or added resistance to damage, but zombies share the same blatant weakness to headshots, so strafing is recommended when approaching a target.  Crouch walking is also a recommended tactic for zombies, since it is hard for a player to kill an opponent that attacks them at the last possible second.

Either rush to the nearest vehicle, recommended ones being the [[M12 Force Application Vehicle|Warthog]] variants or the [[Qavardu Workshop Prowler|Prowler]], or grab a variety of easy to aim headshot [[weapons]], notable ones being the [[BR55HB SR Battle Rifle|Battle Rifle]] and [[M6G Personal Defense Weapon System|Magnum]].  Zombies usually try to surround or rush a target when encountering one, so keeping yourself boxed in as to force the zombies to rush in a straight line is also a recommended tactic. Always try to stick in groups, as a lone wolf is the most likely player to be slain in the end.  Depending on the damage resistance of the zombies, the [[Sentinel Beam]] and [[MA5C Individual Combat Weapon System|Assault Rifle]] could also prove useful in these type of battles, although not recommended as the [[BR55HB SR Battle Rifle|Battle Rifle]], [[Carbine]], and [[M6 Series|Magnum]] can dispose of zombies while wasting as little ammo as possible.

*Despite the variant of Infection, the first zombie is usually referred to as the Alpha Zombie.
*Despite the variant of Infection, the first zombie is usually referred to as the Alpha Zombie.
*A variant of Alpha Zombie is ''Fat Kid'', where players try out outrun the ''Fat Kid'', an incredibly tough zombie with extreme damage output, high shields and damage resistance at the cost of sluggish speed, by navigating through a large obstacle course or going into a fortified base. The ''Fat Kid'' is notable, like all ''invincible'' players, to be vulnerable to the instant kill [[assassination]]. On the variants where the "Fat Kid" is not invincible, needlers are often used as they often hurl the zombie back into a corner where no cover can be taken. This is often viewed as "noobish".
