🎯 How Points Are Earned

  • Regular Zombies = 1 pt

  • Boss Zombies = 500 pts 

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


âś… 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.

 


đźš§ 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
2. Let the leaderboard populate early
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.
