The world of Hunty Zombie has seen major balancing changes throughout October and November, reshaping the way players fight through endless waves of the undead. The current meta strongly favors high-utility melee weapons capable of sweeping through crowds, stunning enemies, and dealing massive burst damage.

S-Tier — Meta Defining Picks

Spinal Blade, Ghost, Scythe, Anchor, Scissors

The strongest weapons in Hunty Zombie right now.

  • Spinal Blade & Ghost: Newly introduced Divine weapons with excellent range and crushing damage.
  • Scythe: Still unmatched for pure DPS and wide-lane clearing.
  • Anchor: Great AoE plus a valuable HP boost, making you noticeably tankier.
  • Scissors: Fast attack speed and broad swings make them ideal for controlling massive hordes.

A-Tier — Strong but Build-Dependent

Katana, Greatsword, Bow, Priest, Pure Hand

These weapons pack serious potential but require more precision or set-ups.

  • Katana: Fast, flexible, and reliable.
  • Greatsword: Wrathful Outcry ultimate provides strong stuns.
  • Bow: Best ranged option for safe, sustained damage.
  • Priest: Offers team-focused healing and support.

B-Tier — Viable in the Right Hands

Dual Guns, Zombie Claws, Guitar

Situational but useful in certain modes.

  • Dual Guns: Shine at mid-range against clustered zombies.
  • Guitar: Surprising burst and ranged capability.
  • Zombie Claws: Fast melee hits but lack strong AoE.

C-Tier — Early-Game Only

Baseball Bat, Axes

These beginner weapons fall off hard in later rounds due to low damage and weak ultimates. Best suited for early farming or new players.

Why S-Tier Weapons Dominate

Scythe

Still a farming monster. Its devastating sweeping attacks make it perfect for slicing through huge groups instantly.

Anchor

Great damage and an incredibly useful HP boost—turning you into a frontline tank who can soak hits for your squad.

Spinal Blade & Ghost

The newest Divine weapons feel amazing in both range and raw output, putting them at the very top of the meta.

Scissors

Their fast swing speed and wide AoE make them outstanding for keeping zombies from surrounding you in high-round chaos.

Best Traits & Perks for Peak Performance

Your weapon choice is only one part of the build. To truly dominate, pair your S-Tier gear with the right enhancements.
