TGIF! Zombie Slayer Updates for May 15, 2026

Happy Friday, players!

Kano HQ has been busy this week with game updates going out, preparations for the next Livestream and on-going conversations with players about the recent test run of the new mode for Faction Wars. You’re in the right place for all the news you need, so let’s jump into it!

In-Game Updates:

Slayers, there's an all NEW Prestige tier available in Tanzania! If you've completed Bronze through Gold Prestige already, you can NOW take it one tier further with Platinum! Return to complete higher Tier Outbreaks earning bonus XP, Cash, Skill Points, & Prestige Coins & more.

The Faction Wars event begins today! Zombie Slayer players can dive in starting at 10AM (PT). Rally your team and make sure you’re all enrolled before it kicks off. Battle hard for the best rewards and good luck!

Our newest mini-game makes its return! The Stronghold Survival Challenge is live now and runs until Monday May 18th. Build up your base to earn XP and Cash by using your trusty hammer to fill the Hit Points bar. Completing this Challenge will earn you the clear bonus item!

Next week join us for an Admin Blitz event! If you're around on the following date, make sure to drop by & nab some sweet Coin off of the Kano folk. Watch out for the group chats that get posted beforehand and remember to bump up those Admins Killed and Listed stats.

Admin Blitz events will now also have a special Kano item giveaway, so don’t miss out! We hope to see you there on:

Tuesday, May 19th - Server 1, Server 2, and the Kongregate & Armor Servers @ 3PM (PT).

Take on the High Flyin' Fun Weekday Calendar Challenge! Starting Monday May 18th @ 10AM PT, complete this Challenge to earn the clear bonus item and XP.

Next week starting on Monday May 18th is Blitz Week! All week long there will be an increased number of Blitz events running, including a mixture of the new special modes. Keep an eye out for targets and rack up those kills!

Lastly, a reminder that twice a week there are new item drops in-game. Limited Time items on Tuesdays and Limited Quantity on Fridays. Keep an eye out for anything that catches your interest!

We recently released a new method for players to acquire UN Credits through a system called Rev U. By completing tasks such as making progress in a game or by filling out a survey, players can start earning extra UN Credits for their account!
