Tactics
On the Oil field map a good weapon combination is the combat shotgun and revolver, these require manuscript pages to unlock however once they are in your hands they make surviving a lot easier. The combat shotgun is located to the far back of the map from where you spawn whilst the revolver is at the top on a car bonnet. This is a good combination as the revolver kills weak enemies in one shot whilst the combat shotgun deals a great amount of damage to the stronger enemies, remember to collect as many flares, flare guns and flashbangs as you can find though as these get you out of difficult situations more than once.
Another thing to consider is that when dawn is approaching within the last 30 seconds or less it is advisable to use all of your weapons you can muster to gain as many extra points as you can, flares and flare guns are especially handy for this as a flare gun shot can easily take out some of the larger enemies with ease.
When a grenadier is attacking you with grenades try to avoid staying close to the grenade as it has a large blast area, the best thing to do is kill him first as this will help loads when trying to avoid being hit. In fact, it is often advisable to leave one grenadier alive so you can explore the map and collect additional items such as flares, flashbangs, flare gun ammo and restock your primary and secondary weapons before killing him and triggering the next wave.
The hunting rifle is probably one of the best weapons you will find in the game, as it will kill most enemies in one shot, save for the giants. This is a great advantage to have for obvious reasons and can get you out of tight situations with ease.
Its advisable to have found all the manuscript pages from the campaign in advance to playing fight 'till dawn as this gives you the many weapon advantages on maps that you will desperately need when attempting to get the achievements located within arcade mode.
