ZGS Discord Birthday Bash
It’s been three incredible years since our community took flight on Discord, and what a journey it’s been! From day one, you’ve all made this more than just a platform — it’s become a community where friendships are built, strategies are shared, and unforgettable moments are celebrated. Whether you’ve been with us since the beginning or have recently joined the ranks, you are the lifeblood of this community.
Here’s to many more battles, stories, and victories together. Thank you for making every day here something truly special!
To celebrate, we’re launching three exciting community activities — some new, and one that you already know and love. Here’s what’s in store:
Operation “Gridline” 2.0
This is your chance to bring your map design ideas to life and have them featured in the game as a campaign map. The rules are simple: just use the template we’ve provided, unleash your creativity, and follow the guidelines.
“Survival Story”
Dive into the lore of Zombie Gunship Survival and craft your own survival story during the zombie apocalypse. Using the provided character sheet, immerse yourself in the chaos — What did you do? How did you feel? What does the world look like through your eyes during the outbreak? To help spark your imagination, we’ll be sharing daily “Lost Records” from various ZGS characters.
ZGS Podcast with Mike and Nick
Curious about the inner workings of Zombie Gunship Survival? Now’s your chance to hear from two key team members — Mike, our game designer, and Nick, our senior developer. Submit your questions for them in our AMA thread, and I (Astro) will select some questions to be answered in the upcoming podcast.
Let’s make this celebration one for the books! Thank you for being the heart and soul of this incredible community. Let’s continue making memories together.
Join our Discord Community to take part in these activities!
Introducing the M55
Attention Airmen!
The M55 Cannon is here!
The undead are closing in, and time is running out. You need power, speed, and chaos—NOW. The M55 is your answer, built for rapid-fire destruction when survival is all that matters.
Key Features:
4-bullet burst per trigger: Rip through the horde with each pull, as your bullet spread widens, giving you a greater chance to wipe out everything in your path.
Infinite magazines: Just keep firing. The more you shoot, the more chaos you unleash, but be ready—spread and reload time scale with your stars ⭐.
When the undead are swarming, hesitation is deadly. The M55 20MM Zastava Cannon offers the speed and firepower to hold the line and survive the apocalypse.
This is no time to wait. Lock, load, and light up the battlefield—before the undead take everything.
Season 17 "Fireheart"
Attention Airmen,
Get ready, because things are about to get scorching hot. With Season 17: Fireheart, we’re turning up the heat with the FG-119 "Zephyr" Heavy Cannon—a Prototype Weapon built to torch the battlefield and rain down chaos. This isn’t just firepower, it’s full-blown devastation.
Why You’ll Love the FG-119 "Zephyr":
Flammable Gas Cloud: Every time you fire, the flames leave behind a gas cloud when they expire. The best part? That cloud is highly flammable. Just hit it again with any weapon, and it reignites.
Infinite Ammo: Yep, infinite rounds. Fire to your heart's content—just make sure you’re managing that heat gauge. Overheat, and you’ll have to wait. Stay cool, and the carnage never stops.
Legendary Power: Every 4th shot is where things get really fun. When your crosshair turns blue, that means it’s time for double the radius, double the duration, and double the damage. Maximum devastation, incoming.
Star-Based Cooldown: The star-based cooldown system keeps your cannon firing smoothly so you can stay in the fight.
Airmen, the battlefield is yours. Take control with the FG-119 "Zephyr" Heavy Cannon—burn ‘em with fire, ignite those gas clouds, and unleash chaos like never before. The undead have no idea what’s about to hit them.

Introducing the ATACMS
Attention Airmen,
The world below is chaos—zombies swarming, humanity on the brink. But now, you hold the key to unmatched devastation, right at your fingertips.
With the new Standard Weapon, the ATACMS Missile loaded in your AC-130, you have the power to cripple the undead and send them back to the depths where they belong.
A Devastating Impact…
As you unleash the ATACMS, the first impact crushes everything in its path, leaving the strongest zombies reeling. But that’s only the beginning. The real destruction comes in the form of a chain of explosive shockwaves—one explosion triggers another, spreading devastation across the battlefield.
Slowing Them Down to Finish Them Off
But it’s not just about raw firepower. The ATACMS does more than destroy—it controls the battlefield. After the initial explosion, a suffocating wave of force slows the zombies to a crawl.
Infinite Firepower in Your Hands
What makes the ATACMS truly special is its infinite ammo. You’ll never be left empty-handed when the swarm is bearing down on you. With star-based reload speeds, your Gunship will be back in action before the zombies even know what hit them. And as the battle intensifies, after 120 seconds in combat, the ATACMS unlocks +15% damage and a reduced reload time by 1 second.
With brand-new firing sounds, each missile hits harder, filling the skies with thunderous booms. The new visuals take it further—explosions light up the battlefield, shockwaves tear through the undead, and debris flies everywhere.
Get to your Gunship. The ATACMS is ready for action.

Season 16 "Heartstopper"
In the bleak expanse of a world overrun, where every shadow hides a new terror and survival hangs by a thread, your squad is surrounded, outnumbered, and out of options. The undead close in, driven by hunger that never fades. But as desperation grips your team, a roar from above signals a shift in fate—a chance to escape the clutches of the relentless horde.
Introducing the B8M1 Hysteria Rocket, the latest prototype weapon in airborne devastation. Mounted on your AC-130, this weapon is not just firepower; it’s the storm that clears the path to survival.
