How to Get the Trident in Survive the Apocalypse Guide

The latest Docks Biome update in Survive the Apocalypse adds a new area to explore, a dangerous group of Raiders, and a powerful new weapon called the Trident. Unlike normal loot that can appear in different places, the Trident is tied to a specific chest hidden somewhere inside the new biome.

Getting the weapon is not as simple as walking into the area and opening a chest. You will need to deal with plenty of Raiders, including dangerous snipers around the shipping containers. Here is everything you need to know about finding the Docks Biome and getting the new Trident.

Prepare Before Entering the Docks Biome

The Docks Biome can be dangerous because it is filled with Raiders instead of the usual zombies. Because you will be fighting many enemies at once, it is a good idea to prepare your character before searching for the area.

Make sure you have strong weapons and armor equipped before heading out. The Operator class can also be useful because its abilities can help deal with enemies automatically, reducing the amount of work needed when clearing groups of Raiders.

There is also a small visual change in the update where weapons can now be seen on your character even when they are not currently equipped.

How to Find the Docks Biome

The new Docks Biome can be identified by a light green and blue section on the map. Once you enter the correct area, it should be fairly easy to recognize because of the large number of Raiders surrounding the biome.

Unlike several other areas in Survive the Apocalypse, the Docks are not filled with regular zombies. Instead, Raiders control the area, so be prepared for ranged attacks and large groups of enemies.

You can explore the biome to collect the other loot scattered around the area, but the main reason to visit is the new Trident weapon.

How to Get the Trident

The Trident can be found inside the shipping container area within the Docks Biome. This location contains several Raiders, including snipers that can attack you from a distance.

Your first task is to clear the Raiders around the shipping containers. Once the enemies have been defeated, search the area for the special chest containing the weapon.

The Trident chest has a different appearance from regular loot chests, making it possible to recognize once you find the correct one.

Trident Chest Location

There can be multiple shipping container locations around the Docks Biome. However, based on the information available, only one of these locations contains the special Trident chest.

This means you may not find the weapon immediately. If the first shipping container area does not contain the special chest, continue exploring the other locations and eliminate the Raiders blocking your path.

Because the location can require some searching, bringing strong equipment is important. You do not want to run out of health or resources while checking several container areas.

How the Trident Works

The Trident is a strong weapon for dealing with enemies at close range. Against normal zombies, its basic attack can deal enough damage to nearly eliminate them with a single hit.

The weapon also has a special charging mechanic. After hitting several enemies, the Trident begins building up a charge. Once charged, subsequent attacks can knock enemies backward.

This knockback effect is especially useful when several enemies are approaching you at the same time.

Best Way to Use the Trident

The Trident is particularly useful against groups of enemies rather than just a single target. Its charge and knockback effect allow you to create some distance between yourself and enemies after hitting them.

This can be helpful when fighting large groups during later Nights. If you are playing near the front line and several zombies begin surrounding you, the charged attack can push them away and give you more room to move.

The weapon is therefore useful for players who prefer to stay close to enemies while controlling groups through knockback.

Is the Trident Worth Getting?

The Trident has a strong combination of damage and crowd control. Its ability to almost eliminate regular zombies with basic attacks, followed by the knockback effect from its charged attacks, makes it a useful addition to your weapon collection.

The main downside is the time required to obtain it. You need to enter the Docks Biome, defeat the Raiders, search the shipping container areas, and find the special chest.

Since only one container location is believed to contain the Trident chest, you may need to clear several areas before finding it.

New Leaper Zombie

The Docks update also introduces another enemy called the Leaper. This zombie can be found around the map and has a simple but dangerous attack pattern.

As the name suggests, the Leaper can jump toward players when they get close. This means you should avoid getting too close without being ready to react.

Keep moving when exploring areas where Leapers can spawn, especially if you are already dealing with other enemies. Getting hit by a surprise leap while surrounded can quickly put your character in danger.

Necromancer Requiem Buff

The update also gives the Necromancer class another small adjustment. This change affects the Requiem ability.

The Requiem cooldown has been reduced from three minutes to two minutes. Its regeneration effect has also been changed from a flat +20 regeneration value to 5% regeneration.

This gives Necromancer more frequent access to the ability while changing how its regeneration works. Combined with previous adjustments, the class now has additional improvements compared with its earlier version.

Whether those changes make Necromancer more suitable for your playstyle depends on how you use the class. Players who prefer other classes can still continue using options such as Operator or Outlaw.

Docks Biome Update Features

The main additions from the update include:

• New Docks Biome.
• New Trident weapon.
• Shipping container areas with Raider enemies.
• Special chest containing the Trident.
• Raider snipers around the container locations.
• New Leaper zombie.
• Necromancer Requiem adjustment.
• Requiem cooldown reduced from 3 minutes to 2 minutes.
• Requiem regeneration changed to 5%.

The Docks Biome gives Survive the Apocalypse players a new area to explore while adding a weapon with useful crowd-control abilities. The Trident is hidden inside a special chest located around the shipping containers, but finding it can take some time because multiple container locations may appear.

Before searching for the weapon, make sure your armor and weapons are strong enough to handle the Raiders. The Operator class can also make clearing the area easier. Once you find the Trident, its charged knockback attack can be especially useful for controlling groups of enemies during difficult Nights.
