Special Weapon Mechanics

The Zombie RNG Arena Weapon Tier List includes detailed mechanics for special weapons below.

Plasma Laser - How It Works

  • • Base damage: ~5,000 per shot
  • • Damage scaling: Damage doubles per enemy hit (no limit!)
  • • Mechanic: Must line up zombies in a row to maximize damage
  • • Best upgrade: Clip Size is king (scales linearly to 100)
  • • Gun Damage: ~25 is enough; diminishing returns after that
  • • Note: Fire rate and charge time don't scale with perks
  • • Best combo: Use with Scientist's Zombie Lure to group enemies, then fire

Chainsaw - Still Meta After Nerf

  • • Scaling: Only scales with Melee Damage
  • • Important: Swing speed and fire rate buffs do NOT affect Chainsaw
  • • Status: Still meta after nerf (Dec 2024)
  • • Best class: Juggernaut for tank builds, or Scientist with Warrior Lv1 perk
  • • Best combo: Plasma Laser + Chainsaw (Laser for waves, Chainsaw for single targets/ammo-free DPS)
  • • Upgrade priority: Focus on Melee Damage, ignore swing speed/fire rate

Weapon Star System

  • • Star upgrades: Only increase damage (tested on Crowbar)
  • • Damage scaling: 0.5★ to 5★ = 3.5x damage increase (113 → 375)
  • • Example: 0.5★ = 113, 1★ = 125, 2★ = 165, 3★ = 210, 4★ = 294, 5★ = 375
  • • Note: This scaling likely applies to all weapons
