TGIF! Zombie Slayer Updates for October 17, 2025

Happy Friday, players!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this past week’s Halloween Livestream! It was a fantastic stream with everyone that tuned in leaving with an exclusive seasonal item and a Kano Lootcase. You can check out the video here still - https://tinyurl.com/zs26m94e - and don’t miss the next one! Now let’s jump into the news of the week! 

In-Game Updates:

         

The Faction Wars event begins today! Zombie Slayer players can dive in starting at 4PM (PDT). Rally your team and make sure you’re all enrolled before it kicks off. Battle hard for the best rewards and good luck!

 

We recently launched a brand new season of the Battle Pass! Available right now in-game check out the Free and Premium reward tracks for all the great stuff you can unlock. From the improved stats on the final item set to the stellar new customization options, there is so much to unlock. Remember you only have until November 5th until it’s gone forever.  

  

Coming in hot from the hands of the master craftsmen, are the all new Legendary Halloween Crates! These come packed with ultra powerful Legendary weapons to obtain, so check it out while they are available. Just a reminder that the 3 x Master Crate packs come with a guaranteed Legendary drop every time!

Fight List by Strength Update:

In case you missed it - As many of you know, we recently released an update aimed at improving the lack of available targets on the Fight List. This update added targets based on Strength rather than just Level, with the goal of creating more balanced matchups.

Unfortunately, the change didn't achieve the results we were hoping for, and player feedback made it clear that the experience wasn't an improvement. As a result, this past week we reverted the Fight List system back to its original level-based matchmaking.

Other updates introduced during this period — such as increased Blacklist slots, health regeneration adjustments, and the restriction on using Attack Boosts against lower-level opponents — will remain in place.

Our team is actively exploring new ways to improve the Fight List and increase the number of available targets. As always, we value your input and encourage you to share your feedback with us.

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!
