Earned progression
Zombie Air Force Upgrades
Zombie Air Force upgrades turn earned Credits into a longer-term combat plan, with over 180 upgrades advertised by the developer. This category helps you choose an upgrade family, understand access versus progression, and put one useful goal ahead of a scattered shopping list. Begin with the question that is blocking your next purchase.
One progression goalGive the next purchase a specific combat purpose.
Start from a repeated job, then set the spending goal
An upgrade plan is easier to follow when it belongs to something you already do in battle. Pick the attack or defense responsibility you expect to repeat, then make your next purchase serve that role. Our upgrade order guide develops this approach for players who keep changing goals. The overview groups the familiar combat choices and named trees so you can narrow the plan before deciding on a price.
Access and progression are separate decisions. The official Little Bird pass gives instant access while leaving its Armoury upgrades to be earned, and Grimhawk access likewise leaves progression ahead. Cryo Emitter has its own dedicated upgrade tree. Use the tree guide to keep those distinctions clear, then read the displayed cost in the game before setting your Credits reserve. A paid unlock should not quietly replace the rest of your progression budget.
