Tools

The in-game toolbar.

Tools in Zombs.io are items used to gather resources and to attack hostiles.

Some tools are better suited for different tasks.

It is possible to buy or upgrade tools in the Shop.

Pickaxe

Used for gathering resources from trees and rocks.

Tier 1 is given as beginning tool for free.

Even if low damage, can be safely used as weapon in the early waves.

Tier	Image	Cost	Damage	Harvest	Attack Speed
1		Free	20	1	3.33
2		1,000	20	2	3.33
3		3,000	20	2	3.51

5		8,000	20	3	5
6		24,000	20	4	5
7		90,000	20	6	5

Spear

Melee weapon with high attack speed.

While potentially being the top DPS weapon, it has the downside of exposing the player to enemies attacks too.

It is good practice to attack zombies from behind and not being too close to them (thanks to the 2 tiles range) to avoid receiving damage.

Tier	Image	Cost	Damage	Range	Attack Speed
1		100	30	100	4
2		400	80	100	4
3		3,000	120	100	4
4		5,000	300	100	4
5		25,000	2,000	100	4
6		35,000	8,000	100	4
7		90,000	10,000	100

Bow

Ranged weapon that needs to be activated every shoot: unlike the other tools, action button can't be pressed to keep attacking.

This weapon is the best for range and accuracy. It also has a good damage growth, making it the best choice against bosses.

It's very good in early game to hunt monsters safely and later to fight against other players.

Bow is also good for chasing players / being chased by players because, unlike bomb, it can hit players while they are moving.

Tier	Image	Cost	Damage	Attack Speed
1		100	20	2
2		400	40	2
3		2,000	100	2
4		7,000	300	2
5		24,000	2,400	2
6		30,000	10,000	2
7		90,000	14,000	2

Bomb

Short range AoE weapon.

Can hit many targets if they are close one another. It's safer than the spear to use against hordes because of its range, but also has a slower attack rate.

Tier	Image	Cost	Damage	Range	Attack Speed
1		100	10	700	2
2		400	30	700	2
3		3,000	80	700	2
4		5,000	150	700	2
5		24,000	1,200	700	2
6		50,000	6,000	700	2
7		90,000	9,000	700	2

Health Potion Fully restore the player's health upon use. Costs 100 . Only one can be owned at a time, but can be bought unlimited times. NOTE do not be confused between ruby bomb Pet Potion Fully restore the active pet's health upon use. Costs 100 . Only one can be owned at a time, but can be bought unlimited times. Whistle Owned since the beginning, this tool is used to stop the current pet's task and recall him. Special Abilities Special abilities are passive effects that grant the player certain boosts for a period of time. They are displayed to the right of the toolbar when in use. Shield Grants player's protection against zombie attacks, absorbing damage. It won't mitigate any PvP damage. It automatically regenerates its health in time if not damaged for some seconds (recharge delay). Any damage during the regeneration will stop it.

Used immediately when bought, and has a one-day cool-down. Costs 10,000 Invulnerability This ability is given to all players for the first 30 seconds of game play, to prevent spawn-killing. Grants the player immunity against all damage. However, when a player attacks, this ability is taken from the player. Trivia Though a weapon might say "8000 damage" it does NOT do that to players, it scales up, for example, 18 damage, upgrade the weapon and you got 22 to a player, etc. Zombs.io How to Play  •  Tools  •  Buildings  •  Resources  •  Pets  •  Hats  •  Shop  •  Parties  •  Enemies  •  Controls  •  Strategies  •  Tips & Tricks  •  Changelogs
