The 2025 Hunty Zombie meta is all about speed, crowd control, and raw damage. The Scythe and Dagger have shaken things up, but the Greatsword still reigns supreme. With the right build, even the toughest zombie waves don’t stand a chance. So grab your weapon of choice and stack your perks.
The New Meta: What’s Changed?
The “Scissor & Claw” update has introduced a fresh spin on Hunty Zombie’s combat. Alongside rebalancing existing weapons, the update added the Scythe and Dagger, both powerful newcomers. The focus now leans heavily toward weapons that deliver big area damage and fast DPS, crucial for surviving the ever-tougher zombie waves.
S-Tier: The God-Roll Weapons
These weapons sit at the very top of the food chain. If you have one of these, you’re already ahead of the curve.
- Greatsword – The undisputed king of PvE. This Mythic monster dishes out devastating AoE swings, perfect for wiping out entire groups. Its ultimate, “Wrathful Outcry,” stuns enemies, giving you precious time to unleash damage. It’s also the fastest way to farm money and handle boss waves.
- Scythe – A high-demand event weapon and the Greatsword’s closest rival. With deadly moves like “Frenzied Ravage” and “Searing Wound,” the Scythe slices through mobs with ease. Its crowd control makes it a must-have.
- Dagger – Small but deadly. This event weapon thrives on speed, letting you dart between zombies while dealing consistent AoE damage. If you love agile, high-mobility combat, this one’s for you.
A-Tier: Strong and Versatile
Not quite god-tier, but still extremely reliable. These can carry you through nearly all content.
- Katana – Balanced, quick, and flexible. While it doesn’t have the raw power of the Greatsword or Scythe, it’s a dependable all-rounder and a great choice if you don’t want to rely on event drops.
- Dual Guns – Perfect for ranged hunters. With strong firepower and the ability to mow down zombies from a safe distance, they shine when paired with a trait like “Undead” for extra mobility.
B-Tier: Solid but Not Spectacular
These weapons won’t break the game but are still more than capable of carrying you.
- Guitar – A quirky but effective ranged option. Its rhythm-based attacks reward timing and can pack a punch in skilled hands.
- Baseball Bat – The go-to starter weapon. Simple, effective, and beginner-friendly, though you’ll eventually want to upgrade.
C-Tier: Use with Caution
These weapons are serviceable, but you’ll want to replace them as soon as possible.
- Axe – Decent damage, but it’s too slow and lacks the AoE impact that dominates the current meta. Other melee weapons easily outperform it.
Maximizing Your Loadout: Traits & Perks Matter Too
Weapons are just one part of your survival toolkit. To truly master the Hunty Zombie meta, you’ll need the right traits and perks to complement your loadout.
S-Tier Perks:
- Vampire – Life steal plus movement speed.
- Critical – Huge damage boost on crits.
- DoubleDmg – Increases your whole team’s damage output.
S-Tier Traits:
- Prodigy – Arguably the best, giving boosts to attack speed, skill damage, and overall DPS.
By pairing an S-Tier weapon like the Greatsword with the right perks and traits, you can build a powerhouse setup that’s both fun and devastating, ensuring you’re always ready to crush the undead waves.
