This year’s Christmas update in Hunty Zombies is not just a festive skin drop. It quietly changed how powerful players can become. Between the new endless map, a limited weapon, and two insane account upgrades, this update directly affects farming speed, boss damage, and overall progression.
If you are serious about getting stronger, this update matters a lot.
Hunty Zombies Christmas Update – Overload Perk, Castle Endless
Christmas Tree Sword
The first thing you should know is that the Christmas Tree Sword is limited. Once this event ends, it may disappear for months or might never come back in the same form.
It comes from rolls and has a 0.1% drop chance, which is actually generous compared to most rare weapons. Even if it is not immediately the strongest sword in the game, limited weapons always become valuable later. One balance change can suddenly turn it into a must-have, and only players who rolled it during the event will have access to it.
If you have spins saved, this is a good time to use them.
New Endless Map – Castle
Endless mode is one of the best ways to grind coins, levels, and general progress, and the update added a brand-new endless map called Castle.
This matters more than people realize. Different endless maps can change your farming speed completely. Some layouts give better choke points, safer corners, and cleaner spawns, which means fewer deaths and faster clears.
Castle needs to be tested early. If it turns out to be more stable than older maps, it could become the new best endless map, which means more coins per hour for anyone who switches to it early.
Overload – New Divine Perk
Overload is the most important upgrade in this update.
This divine perk increases your cosmetic slots from two to three. That might not sound crazy at first, but cosmetics are pure stat power in Hunty Zombies. They boost damage, crit chance, crit damage, movement speed, survivability, and skill damage.
Before Overload, you had to choose between offense, speed, or safety. Now you can run all of them at once.
This makes strong players stronger, but it also massively helps mid-game players because the third slot can cover your weakest stat and instantly smooth out your build.
Overload does not just add damage. It upgrades your entire account permanently.
Christmas Spirit – New Trait
This trait is extremely rare at 0.05%, but it is stacked.
Christmas Spirit increases:
- Payload coin gain
- Critical damage
- Critical chance
- Skill damage
- Attack speed
- Movement speed
This is basically a full build inside one trait. It buffs farming and boss damage at the same time, which is insane value. If you pull this, your account immediately jumps ahead without needing perfect gear.
This one should be treated like a jackpot. Roll casually and hope you hit it, but do not stress over it.
Codes
ALMOSTCHRISTMASEVE (60 lucky weapon spins)
ALMOSTCHRISTMASEVE2 (60 trait rerolls)
ALMOSTCHRISTMASEVE3 (60 lucky perk spins)
ALMOSTCHRISTMASEVE4 (1000 payload)
What You Should Focus On First
If you are deciding what to prioritize, this is the clean order:
First, go for Overload, because three cosmetic slots permanently improve every build you will ever use.
Second, test Castle Endless and see if it gives you faster and safer farming.
Third, roll for the Christmas Tree Sword if you care about limited items.
And finally, treat Christmas Spirit as a bonus miracle pull.
