Quick reference hub: weapons, classes, perks, drops, and meta notes compiled from the guide and community tips.

Getting Started

  • Buy order: Chainsaw → Plasma Laser, keep weapon pool small to avoid RNG dilution
  • Classes: Juggernaut (melee safety) or Wastelander (ammo + double-upgrade perk)
  • Perks: Warrior melee +50% (Lv1 reported), double-upgrade, lure (Scientist)

Weapons (meta notes)

  • Plasma Laser: base ~5k, damage doubles per hit; Clip Size is king; Gun Damage ~25 is enough
  • Chainsaw: scales only with Melee Damage; not affected by swing/fire rate
  • Plasma Shotgun: strong burst but ammo-hungry; best with Wastelander + Clip buffs
  • Gatling Laser: big mag but underperforms vs Plasma Laser/Shotgun; clip buffs don’t add ammo

Upgrades & scaling

  • Clip Size scales linearly to 100; safe to over-level
  • Gun/Melee Damage show diminishing returns after ~25-30; 70+ can turn negative (reports)
  • Destruction dmg boosts Flamethrower/Grenade/Boomer mine; not Plasma Laser

Drops & RNG

  • Mystery box legendary ~2.5%/roll; specific legendary ~0.83% → high variance
  • Chests: 1–4★ drop Rusty/Wooden/Metal/Survivor/Pristine; 5★ can drop Safehouse/Relic
  • Wave 50+ can drop Relic keys (not guaranteed)

Community highlights

  • Plasma Laser + Chainsaw is the staple combo (waves vs ammo-free single target)
  • Boomer class: low value (single mine, low proc, long cooldown) per feedback
  • Scientist lure: ~15s at Lv3, can throw two; good for grouping for Plasma Laser
