Update 4's "Endless Madness" has completely revolutionized the Hunty Zombie meta.

This comprehensive tier list covers every weapon, trait, perk, and pet in the game, including the two new perks (Last Hope and Damage Shield) that have fundamentally changed survival strategies in October 2025.

Complete Hunty Zombie Weapons Tier List [UPDATE 4]

Understanding the Update 4 Weapon Meta

The arrival of the Anchor weapon has shifted the entire meta landscape. While the Greatsword previously reigned supreme, the Anchor's unique water-themed abilities and devastating crowd control, especially when combined with the Comedy Mask cosmetic, makes it the undisputed champion of Update 4. The key difference? The Anchor's multiple-hit skills synergize perfectly with the Comedy Mask's stat boosts, creating exponential damage scaling that wasn't possible before.

S-Tier Weapons: The Zombie Annihilators

🚢 Anchor [NEW - Mythic]

The Undisputed Champion

Trait	Effect	Drop Rate	Use Case

B & C-Tier Traits: Temporary Placeholders

The remaining traits (Agility variants, Power I, Focus I, Intelligent) should only be kept temporarily while farming for better options. Intelligent's +10% EXP is particularly useless in endgame content where level caps are easily reached.

Advanced Tips & Hidden Mechanics

Weapon Switching Tech

The Double Skill Trick: Switch weapons immediately after using skill C to reset cooldown timers. This allows for 6 skills in rapid succession instead of 3.

Nightmare Coin Optimization

Update 4 increased Nightmare rewards by 40%, making this the optimal farming method:

1. Complete Nightmare Mode in under 10 minutes
2. Focus on speed over perfection
3. Use Fortune trait for additional 20% coin boost
4. Total earnings: 50,000+ coins per run

The Low HP Meta

Discovered by top players in October 2025, intentionally staying below 30% HP with Last Hope + Vampire creates permanent defensive and offensive buffs. This risky strategy dominates high-level play.

Conclusion: Mastering the Update 4 Meta

The Endless Madness update has transformed Hunty Zombie into a deeper, more strategic experience than ever before. The Anchor weapon's dominance, especially when paired with Comedy Mask, has created new build possibilities that weren't imaginable in previous updates. Meanwhile, the addition of Damage Shield and Last Hope perks has made survival in high-level Endless Mode actually achievable for skilled players.

Whether you're grinding for that elusive Prodigy trait, perfecting your Anchor combos, or pushing for a new Endless Mode record, remember that the meta is constantly evolving. What works in October 2025 might change with the next update, but the fundamentals – positioning, resource management, and team coordination – will always remain crucial.

The current meta heavily favors aggressive players who can maximize the Anchor's crowd control while managing cooldowns effectively. With increased Nightmare Coin rewards making progression faster than ever, there's never been a better time to dive into Hunty Zombie's apocalyptic world.

Keep practicing, experiment with different builds, and most importantly, have fun surviving the endless zombie hordes. See you in the lobby, survivor!
