Zombie Gunship Survival Guide 2

Tips For A New Player

Welcome! 😎

1-Boost your 556 mg, when you get a rarer colour of any type of mg/ac, switch to boosting that

2-Equip all your ground troops with shotguns (i-37 initially, but switch to SK-12 as soon as you can) Common shotgun is better than legendary MP5, G36

3-Keep a gunship sniper ( SNPR-20) ready for the day you start to meet titans

4-Never scrap a weapon with 3 stars or more; Save them for fusing

5-Don't 'repair' any blockers near your HQ - unrepaired they are indestructible. In particular, never repair the bus, fence and 2x hazardous waste that form a barrier to the right of the headquarters.

6-Take your time, enjoy the progression through the game.

Weapons That Are Not Available In Common Crates

Some of the more recently released weapons are not (yet) in common crates, but may be available as rewards from special events and from cash purchase in the shop.

Shop crates bought with gold do not offer these weapons.

These weapons are:

AC 23, ND 37, SLT S181K, M777, MK77, M60, AGM65, RKT 128, PF3-T

How Do You Fuse?

As you boost a weapon, the maximum level is capped by the number of stars:

⭐️=maximum level 10, ⭐️⭐️=maximum level 20, ⭐️⭐️⭐️=maximum level 30, etc.

When you achieve this maximum level on the upgrade page, select << and you find that the BOOST button has changed to FUSE. Selecting FUSE will show you a list of available weapons that will be consumed to raise the star count:

-Weapons must have same number of stars as the weapon you are boosting

-Weapons can be any colour, any level

-Weapons active on your ac130 or ground team cannot be used until removed

-Weapons used will be removed from your inventory and lost

The star count of your weapon will determine how many others are required to fuse:

⭐️ needs 1 more ⭐️ weapon to promote it to ⭐️⭐️

⭐️⭐️ needs 2 more ⭐️⭐️ weapons promote it to ⭐️⭐️⭐️

⭐️⭐️⭐️ needs 3 more ⭐️⭐️⭐️ weapons to promote it to ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

etc

Select the weapons you want to use and then press the FUSE button (which shows the metal cost ).

It is best to use level 1 weapons where available; otherwise the cheapest option is to build 'fuse fodder' by boosting and fusing grey weapons specifically for using towards fusing other weapons.

Why Do My Troops Exit The Building Before They Finish Looting?

You are using too much time: When the mission timer at top centre reaches zero, your troops will exit a building and/or call for evacuation.

Choose scout (shotgun) troops- they loot buildings faster

Take care where you start- try to pick as short a route as possible

Guide your troops by destroying obstacles before they reach them

Do not let your troops stop to shoot at zombies - kill the zombies with your gunship before they get close

What Does Weapon POWER Mean?

You should ignore POWER: Even the developers admit is a broken stat; bugged, inconsistent and often wrong. Use damage and the other parameters for weapon comparisons

How Can I Get Bolts?

There is no quick fix to build your bolt supply - you have to work for them:

Play Defence and Frenzy

Open crates

Scrap weapons

(Best) Play as many missions as you can once each day at the highest campaign zone / difficulty that you can manage.

Tip: Fastest "Bolt Farming" is to raid one building and call for evac on each mission.

Which Autocannon Is Best?

Your best gun is whichever is highest rarity Gold > Purple > Blue > Green > Grey

If guns are equal rarity, this is guaranteed to start an argument.

Safe Version: ac37, ac23, ac20, mg762, ac27, ac30 are preferred; mg556 and ac25 less popular.

How Do I Play Events?

You are automatically entered in events.

For SCAVENGER events, complete missions. You score for every building looted.

For SLAUGHTER events, kill zombies in Frenzy, Defend Base, and missions.

(Only gunship and ground team kills score, NOT kills by ground defences.)

For ARMS RACE events, boost weapons. You score for each bolt used.

HYBRID events are special events with a mix of new tasks daily.

Click the EVENT button and then the event title to see your progress.

Collect your rewards directly from the event tab. At the end of the event, uncollected rewards are transferred to your MESSAGES. Remember that rewards will expire 72 hours after they appear in messages.

How Do I Deal With Impalers?

The secret to surviving impalers is to pick troops with high Troop HP:

Assault are best: M4A1 for newer players, AR-15 when unlocked, and M249 is best of all.

Boost common versions to lv 40, then impaler fire bounces off - giving you time to use a hcan, 40/60 etc.

A different option are the M-79 / M32 troops, which have the health, range and firepower to fight off impalers - but letting your troops stop and fight will slow them down and make mission completion more difficult.

If using an ac, remember to lead by the width of the sight box.

How Can I Kill The Giant Titan?

Best options to kill the Heavy Titan are the gunship snipers AIMO, SNPR-20 & SNPR-25, or the hcan 100/105, or GBU. To be effective they all need to be gold and well upgraded.

Alternatives are C1A Napalm and M777.

As a guide, a gold SNPR-20 level 50 needs 3 / 4 / 5 shots to kill a heavy titan at easy / medium / hard difficulty.

Happy hunting! 😎

What Is The Best Use For Gold?

The most efficient use is to save your gold until you are rank 30 with level 8 Headquarters and Metal Storage: Because "refill metal" costs 100 gold, it is best value when capacity is maxed at 100,000.

If you must buy metal before that, only do so to complete "Arms Race" events where you cannot loot enough metal in time - but make sure you have enough bolts!

Another use is to 'rush' common armoury crates. This is best done only when there is a "Faster Crate Opening" booster active, where each crate will cost 15 gold. However, drop rates from common crates are so poor that ‘rushing’ is not recommended.

If you are tempted to use gold to buy crates from the shop, remember that the weapon(s) will be random; you are as likely to find a Can-30 as to get a ac30. Also remember that newly released weapons are probably not included.
