Update 1.5 of Hunty Zombies has arrived, and it introduces one of the most exciting weapons yet—the Scythe. Unlike other weapons, the Scythe isn’t immediately available in the shop. Instead, players must grind to unlock it, making it both rare and powerful. Here’s everything you need to know about the new limited Scythe, how to get it, and why it might just be the best weapon in the game.
How to Unlock the Scythe
To claim the Scythe, you’ll need:
-
1,000,000 cash in-game.
-
Go to the Scythe Claim area (marked in the middle of the hub).
-
Purchase and equip it under the Items section (it replaces your Katana).
It takes time to grind out a million cash, but the developers added double XP during the first hours of the update to make progress smoother. Once unlocked, the Scythe becomes a permanent part of your loadout—though remember, it’s a limited weapon, so it won’t be around forever.
Scythe Abilities Explanation
Frenzied Ravage
-
A fast and devastating melee combo.
-
Deals high damage across a long animation.
-
Perfect for clearing out groups of enemies up close.
Searing Wound
-
A ranged attack that slashes through multiple enemies.
-
Has surprisingly wide range, hitting all enemies in its path.
-
Great for tagging enemies who try to stay at a distance.
Feral Cadenza
-
A powerful, flashy move with a second part that counts as ranged.
-
High damage output and amazing visuals.
-

Scythe Ultimate Ability
The Scythe’s ultimate is simply called Scythe.
-
It charges very quickly, much faster than most other ultimates.
-
Once activated, it unleashes a devastating attack that can wipe out entire groups of zombies in seconds.
-
Against bosses, the ultimate can deal massive chunks of health (often cutting HP by half or more in a single use).
The combination of quick charging and high damage makes this ultimate one of the most reliable tools in Hunty Zombies right now.
Why the Scythe Is So Strong
-
Speed: The weapon’s movement and attack animations are much faster than heavy weapons like the Great Sword.
-
Range Variety: With both melee and ranged moves, enemies can’t escape.
-
Crowd Control: The AoE on its abilities makes it perfect for clearing waves.
-
Style: Let’s be honest—it just looks cooler than most other weapons.
While the basic M1s are weaker than some alternatives, the abilities more than make up for it. Many players already consider it the best weapon in the game.
The limited Scythe in Hunty Zombies update 1.5 is a grind to unlock, but it’s absolutely worth it. With flashy animations, powerful abilities, and one of the strongest ultimates in the game, it’s a weapon that feels as fun as it is effective.
If you’re debating whether to invest your million cash—don’t hesitate. The Scythe is one of the most overpowered and stylish weapons Hunty Zombies has released so far.
