Tips & notes

  • • Current Meta: Boxer/Scientist/Wastelander/Juggernaut are the top picks (Dec 2024).
  • • Juggernaut: Recently nerfed but still strong for Chainsaw builds. Best for tanking damage.
  • • Scientist: Very versatile, can avoid damage instead of tanking. Lure lasts ~15s at Lv3, can throw two; excellent for grouping zombies for Plasma Laser.
  • • Warrior Lv1: Melee ≈ +50% damage boost; melee perk adds another ~50% base melee damage. Best perk is the first one.
  • • Wastelander: Double-upgrade perk is highly valued; bonus perk is pure RNG. Considered OP by community.
  • • Scientist + Chainsaw: Best gun build uses Plasma Laser + Chainsaw. Upgrade melee or health early, max Chainsaw when available.
  • • Bonus Perk: Cannot be targeted; reroll until you get what you want. For Scientist, Warrior Lv1 perk adds ~200 damage to Chainsaw.
  • • Early Game: Warrior or Soldier first, then save for Juggernaut. Wastelander is strong but expensive.

Quick recommendations

Early game / low budget
  • • Warrior (20K) - Best first pick for melee builds. Lv1 perk is excellent, rest is less valuable.
  • • Soldier (20K) - Best value for gun builds: damage boost, faster reload, escape speed.
  • • Scavenger (5K) - Economy boost, but Wastelander double-upgrade is better value if you can afford it.
  • • Save for Juggernaut (50K) next - still strong even after nerf, best for Chainsaw builds.
  • • Focus on maxing one class to Lv3 for Bonus Perk before branching out.
Mid/late game / higher budget
  • • Wastelander (60K) - Considered OP, double upgrades accelerate progression significantly.
  • • Scientist (120K) - Very versatile, can avoid damage. Best with Plasma Laser + Chainsaw combo. Lure groups zombies perfectly.
  • • Juggernaut (50K) - Nerfed but still meta. Best for Chainsaw builds, tanking damage.
  • • Boxer - Current meta pick (community recommended).
  • • Note: Juggernaut got nerfed, but Scientist is more versatile. Choose based on playstyle: tank (Jugg) vs avoid damage (Scientist).
Important: Bonus Perk gives a random class perk at Lv3. Plan keys wisely — max a core class before branching out. Reroll costs increase, so choose your main class carefully!
Best Class Combos (Community Tested):
  • • Scientist + Warrior Lv1 Perk: Best for Chainsaw builds. Warrior Lv1 perk adds ~200 damage to Chainsaw.
  • • Scientist + Juggernaut Perks: If struggling to survive, get any Juggernaut perk for tankiness.
  • • Juggernaut + Chainsaw: Classic tank build. Juggernaut recently nerfed but still strong for melee.
  • • Wastelander + Juggernaut Fire Perk: Best survivability combo, unlocks 3rd weapon slot.
  • • Scientist + Plasma Laser: Use lures to group zombies, then Plasma Laser wipes entire waves.
⚠️ Recent Balance Changes:
  • • Juggernaut: Got nerfed but still viable. Best for Chainsaw builds.
  • • Chainsaw: Still meta even after nerf. Scales only with melee damage.
  • • Current Meta: Boxer/Scientist/Wastelander/Juggernaut are top picks (Dec 2024).
  • • Wastelander: Double-upgrade perk has hardcap, but still highly valued.
