🧠 Perks & Traits Explained

Introduction

In Hunty Zombie, traits and perks form the core of character growth. Choosing and combining them wisely can dramatically boost your damage, defense and sustain. This guide walks through S‑, A‑ and B‑tier traits and skills and offers practical build recommendations.

1. S‑Tier Traits & Skills – Core Damage Boosts

• Berserker – When your health drops below 25%, your damage increases by 50%. Ideal for advanced players trading risk for burst output.
• Lifesteal – Heals you for 15% of the damage you deal, granting exceptional sustain. Works well with fast‑firing weapons such as Dual Guns or Miniguns.
• Rapid Fire – Raises attack speed by 40%, but each shot deals 15% less damage. Use with high‑damage weapons (e.g., Guitar) to massively increase DPS.

2. A‑Tier Traits – Balanced Upgrades

• Shield Master – Doubles your shield capacity and reduces incoming damage by 10%. Perfect for tanks or frontline roles.
• Glass Cannon – Increases damage by 75% but cuts max health by 50% and reduces healing. A high‑risk, high‑reward choice for damage chasers.

3. B‑Tier Skills – Utility & Economy

• Ammo Efficiency – Grants a 25% chance to not consume ammo, ideal for budget‑minded runs.
• First Aid – Health packs heal 50% more and give a brief damage buff. Great for team support and drawn‑out fights.

4. Popular Build Ideas

• Glass Cannon Build: Greatsword + Glass Cannon + Berserker – leverages huge crits but demands precise positioning.
• Tank Build: Minigun/Guitar + Shield Master + Lifesteal – maximizes defense and sustain.
• Economy Build: Dual Gun + Ammo Efficiency + Pig pet (+15% cash) – for early resource farming.
• Hybrid Build: Guitar + Lifesteal + First Aid – balances crowd control and sustain.

5. Advanced Tips

Aim to roll the Prodigy trait (+15% damage, +6% attack speed, +15% skill damage) early, then choose perks to complement your weapon loadout. Manage perk activation order—for example, save Lifesteal for high‑damage phases—to maintain advantage.
