One of the first missions the tutorial gives inInfection Free Zoneis building a wooden tower to help protect your new HQ and buildings. These towers are surprisingly tough and provide extra protection outside your squads. This makes them super important, since you most likely won’t always have a squad around your HQ should a horde of infected wander by.

However, the game doesn’t tell you how to equip the workers assigned to the tower with weapons, so they can better slay theseendless wavesof infected hordes. Here’show to assign weapons to a Tower inInfection Free Zone.

How To Assign Weapons To A Tower In Infection Free Zone

By default, the workers assigned to your tower will automatically attack infected hordes as they attack your buildings with rudimentary weapons. However, you can make them kill hordes quicker by assigning them powerful weapons like the bow, pistol, machine gun, shotgun, and sniper rifle. Currently, these are the only weapons you can assign to a tower, but they do the job very well.

Here’s how to assign weapons to a tower inInfection Free Zone:

After following these steps, one of the assigned workers will walk to your HQ and transfer the weapon to the tower. However, you must have the same number of firearms in your HQ storage as you have assigned workers to the tower. Otherwise, you will get a warning saying you don’t have enough of a resource and only one of the workers will have a weapon to use.

Unfortunately, you cannot use different types of weapons simultaneously, so ensure to have multiple copies of the same weapon when following the procedure above. Sometimes it is better to have two pistols assigned instead of one assault rifle, for example. If you can’t find another copy of a weapon you want to assign to a tower, you canuse cheat codesto put it into your HQ building instantly.
