First Match Blueprint: The Ultimate Survival Guide

Don't be intimidated by complex formulas. This guide will take you from lobby preparation to Wave 50 defense like a pro.

01.Pre-Match: How to Equip Your Weapons?

Click the LOADOUT button at the bottom of the Lobby

Many beginners rush into the portal without realizing how weak their default starter weapons are.

1
Check Slots
Confirm your Primary and Secondary weapons are equipped in the lobby loadout.
2
Recommended Starter
If you lack high-tier gear, the Riot Shotgun or any high fire-rate weapon is ideal for Wave 1.
3
Fill All Slots
Unlock and equip at least two weapon slots before entering the map.

IF: Kill speed is slowing down

👉 Immediately upgrade your current weapon Damage level

IF: You start getting cornered

👉 Buy a Barricade and place it at a narrow chokepoint

IF: You have excess Credits

👉 Upgrade permanent Lobby stats or unlock new In-game slots

* Core Principle: Weapon Damage is always higher priority than defensive deployables.

Beginners run in the open; pros set up shop at these narrow bottlenecks:

1 Barricade + 2 Slow Traps + High Ground Turret.The barricade forces zombies to bunch up, while traps slow them down, allowing your DPS to multiply.

💡 Pro Tip: If you are in a team, ensure each teammate covers a different lane rather than stacking one exit.

❌ Standing Still

Never stop moving during reload sequences. Use circular kiting to avoid getting cornered.

❌ Spamming Turrets

Turrets are useless if your raw weapon damage isn't scaled to the current wave.

❌ Blind Auto-Skip

Voting Auto-Skip without checking weapon limits and team cooldowns is a guaranteed wipe.

Now that you know the strategy, it's time to pick your tools of destruction.
