Zombie Air Force Beginner Guide: Aircraft, Defenses and Credits

Last updated 2026-10-09Unofficial player article

Learn a first-flight routine, support the frontline with defenses and choose a first Credits purchase around the role you enjoy.


Your first goal in Zombie Air Force is to learn the aircraft-and-defense loop: attack the zombie horde from the air, help allies hold the line, and use earned Credits to develop the tools you actually use. Start with one attack option rather than trying to master rockets, chain gun fire and air strikes at once.

This how-to video introduces the Roblox experience and gives you a view of the gameplay before your first session.

Make the first flight about one job

Complete the introductory tutorial and get comfortable following the battle from your aircraft. Start with chain gun fire as an editorial practice choice: keeping one attack in mind leaves more attention for piloting, targets and the frontline. Add rockets after that routine feels manageable.

The objective is wider than attacking whatever looks largest. Ordinary zombie hordes and giant Behemoths both belong to the battle. If teammates are already focused on a Behemoth, helping with the surrounding horde can be the more useful contribution. Tell the group what you are covering so another player does not assume the line is unattended.

Defenses belong in the same battle

You can drop defenses to help hold the line with allies. Remember that part of the loop before committing your attention to another attack. A squad that only thinks about aircraft fire can leave the ground objective without enough attention.

You do not need to buy a specialized aircraft to understand this routine. Learn what you enjoy doing first. That makes later decisions about aircraft access, crew seats and upgrades easier to evaluate.

Spend the first Credits with a purpose

The game advertises over 180 upgrades. Instead of spreading your first purchases across several unrelated branches, pick the part of your session you want to improve. If aircraft attacks were your main job, begin there; if you concentrated on defenses, keep the purchase connected to that responsibility.

Joining the developer group provides +10% XP and Credits. Inviting friends offers an XP and Credits buff, and weekends have an advertised x2 buff. These are useful reasons to organize a session, but they do not replace learning how to contribute to the battle. Do not add them into a promised combined multiplier.

For your next step, use the co-op strategy if you are playing with friends, or the aerial combat guide to organize your attack choices. Both build on the first-session loop rather than requiring you to learn everything before you play.
