The Awakening of the Ghost update introduces a chilling new era to Hunty Zombie, bringing spectral firepower, revamped AFK systems, pets, passives, and bundles that cater to both casual survivors and ghostly hunters. Whether you’re an old player returning or a newcomer, this update shifts the meta entirely. Here’s everything you need to know.
Hunty Zombie Ghost Weapon Update –
1. New Divine Weapon: Ghost
The standout of the update is the Ghost (Divine) weapon – a spectral-tier firearm that harnesses ghost energy to pierce through zombie hordes like never before.
Ghost Weapon Highlights:
Type: Divine Tier (New Category)
Damage: Scales with spirit energy; bypasses some armor-based resistances
Unique Effect: Applies “Phantom Burn” — a DOT (damage-over-time) that lingers even after the enemy dies, transferring to nearby zombies
Synergy: Best used with spectral passives or ghost-themed pets for increased output
Tip: Equip with critical chance boosters to maximize Phantom Burn chains across large waves.
2. New AFK Mode
The AFK Mode has been reworked with smart AI upgrades and reward systems.
AFK Mode Features:
Automatically farms low-tier zones while you’re offline
Intelligent weapon prioritization: Uses your best weapons and passives
Loot Boosts: Chance to collect AFK-exclusive currency
AFK Loadouts: Create a separate setup just for offline grinding
Invest in AFK-specific upgrades from the AFK Shop to maximize idle earnings. This is now a core progression mechanic, not just a bonus.
3. New Passive: Spirit Conversion
This new Passive Skill introduces build diversity for mid-to-late game players.
Passive Details:
Name: Spirit Conversion
Effect: Converts a percentage of normal damage into ghost-type damage
Unlocks: After equipping the Ghost weapon OR reaching a specific ghost dungeon level
Upgrades: At higher levels, converts healing into damage during “Ghost Surge” moments
Best For: Builds focusing on burst AoE (Area of Effect) and status effects.
4. New Pet Pack
Introducing the Spectral Pet Pack, these pets not only provide stat boosts but now offer combat skills as well.
New Pets Include:
- Phantom Cat: Increases ghost damage by 20%, pounces to stun zombies every 10s
- Wraith Bat: Drains HP from nearby enemies and gives you lifesteal
- Lantern Sprite: Grants vision and damage bonus in dark maps (great for night missions)
Each pet can be leveled independently and fused into Ghost-tier pets.
5. New Bundles: Survivor & Ghost
Two premium bundles have been introduced:
Survivor Bundle (For beginners or new accounts):
- Mid-tier weapon + EXP boosts
- 2 pets + starter currency
- Ideal for skipping early-game grind
Ghost Bundle (For endgame players):
- Divine Ghost Weapon + Spirit Conversion passive
- Exclusive cosmetics (Ghost Hunter outfit, Phantom Mask)
- 3x Ghost-themed pets
- Free 7-day AFK Booster
Note: Buying both bundles unlocks a hidden bonus – the “Eclipse Aura” visual effect for your character.
6. Weapon Upgrade System Revamp
The weapon upgrade UI and mechanics have been redesigned.
What’s New:
- Ghost Weapon Path: New tier of upgrades exclusive to Ghost and Divine weapons
- Fusion Crafting: Combine duplicate weapons into higher stat versions
- Resource Balance: More materials now drop from ghost zones, reducing paywall pressure
Tip: Don’t dismantle your old ghost weapons — they can now be used for fusions and passive awakenings.
7. Bug Fixes
The devs addressed several community-reported issues, including:
- Fix: Crashes in high-density zombie maps
- Fix: Passive effects not applying in AFK mode
- Fix: Pets vanishing mid-battle
- Fix: Ghost damage scaling was broken at certain levels — now scales properly with upgrades
- Fix: Bundle rewards not arriving — confirmed resolved in this patch
General Stability: Performance has been notably improved across mid-range devices.
