Zombie Uprising: A Definitive Guide

Zombie Uprising is a survival shooter experience that takes heavy inspiration from the Call of Duty franchise. In this Roblox game, you take on the role of a soldier fighting against zombies in a war to save mankind.

With 16 maps to explore and 11 tiers of weapons to try out, this title keeps the shooting experience varied and fresh. Each map requires you to strategize differently to take down the enemy zombie types. The longer you survive, the tougher the enemy configuration becomes to keep you on your toes.

For beginners, getting into Zombie Uprising is fairly easy. You can use this guide as a springboard to launch you into the game's world.

What Zombie Uprising is all about

The premise behind Zombie Uprising is simple: you are a soldier fending off several waves of zombies by teaming up with other players. You start at a safe spawn point, which will eventually be overrun by zombies. Use everything at your disposal to get rid of them as fast as possible.

You will have access to an armory full of weapons when you start the game. Use the best weapons in the tiers available to you to slay zombies and earn cash or EXP in the process. The more kills you get, the better your earnings and the faster you unlock better gear.

Once a wave begins, you will face a slew of normal zombies, along with minibosses and special enemy types. Normal zombies can be defeated with relative ease. Meanwhile, special zombie types and minibosses take more effort to beat. It is recommended to use the implements available on the map to your advantage.

After the round ends, you will have a few seconds of reprieve before the next one starts. Continue fighting wave after wave of enemies until you reach the end of the battle.

Game modes in Zombie Uprising

There are three modes to choose from in Zombie Uprising: Normal, Hard, and Apocalypse. As a beginner, it is recommended to stick to Normal mode, which features classic zombie-killing gameplay. The amount of EXP and cash you earn is fairly standard, and the enemy waves are manageable.

Hard mode has you facing tougher enemy configurations that deal a hefty amount of damage. Successful kills in this mode will earn you 25% more money and 50% more EXP, allowing you to level up at a faster pace. Switch to this mode once you hit level 15, with 10 being the bare minimum required to survive here.

Lastly, the Apocalypse mode has the strongest enemy combinations in the game, which can be quite difficult to take down. If you prevail, you will receive 50% more money and 100% more EXP per kill, making it the fastest way to level up.

Consider playing through this mode when you are around level 30, with the minimum level recommendation being 25.

Weapon tiers

The title segregates its weapons into 11 tiers. Each tier offers various weapons of different strengths and weaknesses. You will start at tier 1 and begin working your way up to the highest tier: 11.

You must purchase every weapon in the current tier to unlock the next one. This means that unlocking tier 11 requires you to own every weapon in tiers 1 through 10, which takes plenty of money. It is advisable to use the Apocalypse mode for grinding cash, as it rewards the highest amount out of any game mode.

Each weapon in a tier costs the same amount, which keeps the game’s economy relatively simple. The following list details how much the weapons in each tier cost:
