🧟‍♂️ Event Overview & Rewards

  • Runs July 10–17, 2025, in Zombies mode.

  • Score points by killing Zombies—regular, special, elite, and bosses—which earns you a spot on the leaderboard.

  • Rewards (GobbleGums), based on final placement:

    • Top 25 → Shields Up + Stock Option (Rare)

🎯 How Points Are Earned

  • Regular Zombies = 1 pt

  • Special Zombies = 25 pts

  • Elite Zombies = 100 pts

  • Boss Zombies = 500 pts 

Focus on hunts that spawn higher-tier enemies or quick Boss fights (e.g., Easter Egg boss battles).


✅ Event Strategy

  1. Target elite & boss spawns

    • Prioritize rounds or areas where elites and bosses spawn frequently (like during Easter Eggs).

  2. Speed-run EEs for boss kills

    • Completing an Easter Egg often spawns a boss you can instantly down for 500 points.

  3. Maximize match duration

    • Stay alive longer to reach rounds with more elites/boss opportunities.

  4. Play high-tier maps

    • Maps like Citadelle des Morts, Shattered Veil, Tomb are dense with higher-tier spawns—great for points.

  5. Solo vs squad

    • Soloing may let you hog kills, but squads can clear rounds faster and unlock more boss fights.

 


🚧 Common Community Feedback

Many players call the rewards underwhelming—just GobbleGums—and warn that cheating/grinding might dominate, especially for top leaderboard spots

“Thin slice of pizza and 3 Doritos type reward” 
“There’s no point to do King of the dead… it’s just gobblegums” 

So unless you're aiming for Ultra-tier Gums, consider if the grind is worth it.


📝 Summary Checklist

Step What to Do
1. Hop into Zombies during July 10–17

3. Focus on killing elites & bosses (1 pt for regular, up to 500 for boss)
4. Complete Easter Eggs to trigger boss fights fast
5. Survive long, farm rounds rich in high-value zombies
6. Finish in top 30 to earn GobbleGum rewards (bigger rewards for top 1–3)


Final Take

  • The King of the Dead event is simple: kill higher-tier enemies and bosses.

  • Optimize for Easter Eggs and boss kills (500 pts ea.).

  • Leaderboards are against a small pool (~30 players) 

  • Rewards are only GobbleGums—arguably not worth extreme grind unless aiming for #1.
