Getting Started in Zombie Titans

From hangar roof to Behemoth — a clear first-hour plan for new pilots.

Getting Started in Zombie Titans

Zombie Titans is a cooperative mech siege on Roblox by OMG - One More Games. You pilot a giant titan, drop from the hangar roof, and hold a wall against an endless zombie horde. Servers hold up to eight players and run cross-platform on PC, mobile, tablet, and console. This guide is the onboarding path: what to do in the hangar, how a siege cycle works, how scrap fuels progress, and which early habits stop the gate from falling.

If you only have ten minutes, join a public lobby, claim any daily supply drop, deploy your starter titan, and focus on clearing ground zombies plus flyers near the wall. Come back to the deeper sections when you want hangar priorities, Behemoth timing, or build routes. For a ranked look at kits later, open the Titans tier list and the Guides Hub.

What you are defending

Every match is a wall-defense siege. The horde advances in a repeating cycle the game describes as the March, the Surge, and the Behemoth. During the March, pressure builds as regular zombies and early specials test your lane. The Surge ramps density and mixes in more dangerous flyers. The Behemoth is the siege climax: a massive threat that will smash the gate if your squad fails to focus fire and control space.

Your job is simple to say and hard to execute: keep the gate alive. Kills and victories pay scrap. Scrap unlocks and upgrades titans in the hangar. Climb the Hall of Fame as you improve, and check launch notes after patches so your habits stay current.

First session checklist

  1. Launch Zombie Titans from Roblox and finish any short tutorial prompts the game shows.
  2. Open the hangar, note which titans you already own, and read their ability names before you deploy.
  3. Join the creator group when you can — it grants a one-time 1,000 scrap bonus that accelerates early upgrades.
  4. Claim the daily supply drop so you never leave free scrap on the table.
  5. Deploy from the hangar roof, drop into the fight, and stay oriented on the wall rather than chasing far kills.
  6. Practice the cockpit view toggle once so you know how to switch between third-person and cockpit framing mid-fight.
  7. After the round, spend scrap on the hangar upgrades that fix your weakest lane role, not random cosmetics.

That loop — claim, deploy, hold, upgrade — is the entire early game. Everything else is refinement.

Hangar, deploy, and cockpit

The hangar is your garage and progression hub. You unlock titans, push hangar upgrades, and choose the loadout you will drop with. Deploying from the hangar roof drops you straight into the siege so you waste less time walking into the fight. Before you leave the hangar, decide whether you are filling anti-air, lane clear, heavy burst, or melee disruption. A balanced eight-player lobby usually wants at least one flyer specialist and one heavy for Behemoth windows.

While piloting, switch to cockpit view whenever you need a tighter aim picture or a clearer read on flyer approach angles. Cockpit framing helps against Screechers, Gasbags, and Carriers that sit above the wall. Third-person can feel better for wide March clears and for spotting Behemoth body language. Treat the toggle as a tool, not a preference war — swap when the siege phase changes. Full platform layouts live on the controls guide.

Meet the four titans

Zombie Titans ships four distinct kits. You do not need every titan on day one, but you should understand what each one solves:

  • Bulldog — twin gatlings, rocket pods, swarm missiles, and a ground slam. Strong all-rounder for March clear and flexible Surge support.
  • Volt — chain-lightning arc gun, lightning strikes, Tesla field, and EMP pulse. Excels when packs clump and when flyer clusters need area denial.
  • Mammoth — siege cannon, mortar barrages, carpet bombs, and a siege ram. Built for heavy windows, wall-line artillery, and Behemoth burst.
  • Mantis — twin scythes, blade dashes, leap strikes, and berserk. High-mobility melee that deletes priority targets and creates space when the line buckles.

Early on, pick the titan whose kit matches how you aim. Prefer sustained fire? Start Bulldog. Like lightning spreads? Try Volt. Want big shells and bombs? Mammoth. Enjoy dash-in pressure? Mantis. Detailed hangar upgrade order lives in titan builds. Meta snapshots sit on the tier list hub.

Scrap without wasting the first hour

Scrap is the shared progression currency. You earn it from kills and victories, then spend it in the hangar. New pilots often spray scrap into the first shiny unlock and then stall. A safer day-one plan:

  • Bank the group join bonus (1,000 scrap once) instead of treating it as free spending money for impulse buys.
  • Always claim the daily supply drop before long sessions.
  • Put early scrap into the titan you actually pilot, especially survivability and the ability you press every Surge.
  • Delay spreading upgrades across every titan until you have one reliable main and one alternate for team gaps.

For dedicated farming routes, daily timing, and group bonus details, use the scrap farming guide. If active codes exist, redeem them with the how to redeem steps before you grind.

Flyers will end your wall if you ignore them

Ground zombies are loud; flyers are the silent gate killers. The game highlights three flying threats: Screechers, Gasbags, and Carriers. Assign at least one pilot to watch the sky during Surge. Volt’s area tools and Bulldog’s missile options help, but any titan can contribute if the squad calls targets. Carriers that deliver extras into bad positions turn a stable March into a broken line in seconds.

When flyers overlap with Behemoth approach, do not tunnel on the boss alone. Split roles: one or two pilots peel air while the rest dump burst into the Behemoth. That split is the difference between a clean hold and a last-second gate smash. Deeper timing notes are in how to beat the Behemoth.

Squad habits that scale to eight players

Zombie Titans shines when the lobby communicates. You do not need a typed essay — short calls work: “Gasbags left,” “Behemoth front,” “Mantis peel,” “Mammoth bombs now.” Stay near the wall unless a cleanup truly needs a push. Chasing deep kills while the gate takes free damage is the most common beginner mistake.

Cross-platform play means sensitivity and UI differ by device. PC players should confirm keybinds early. Mobile pilots should enlarge critical ability buttons if the UI allows. Console players should settle stick sensitivity before Surge intensity spikes. Revisit controls after your first full siege cycle so binds feel automatic.

What to unlock next

After your first few successful holds:

  1. Finish core hangar upgrades on your main titan.
  2. Unlock a second titan that covers your main’s weakness (for example, add Mammoth if you main Mantis).
  3. Learn one Behemoth burst window and one flyer peel pattern.
  4. Check the players hub and Hall of Fame goals if you like ranked climbing.
  5. Skim updates so you notice balance changes before they punish your build.

Avoid script rabbit holes until you understand fair play and account safety. If you research automation topics at all, keep them on the scripts page and never share account credentials.

Common early mistakes

  • Ignoring the daily supply drop and group scrap bonus.
  • Deploying without reading ability cooldowns in the hangar.
  • Treating flyers as optional trash instead of gate threats.
  • Dumping every ability the moment Surge starts, then standing empty for Behemoth.
  • Spreading scrap across four titans before one kit is battle-ready.
  • Leaving the wall to farm edge kills while the gate chips down.

Fix those six and your win rate jumps before any advanced tech.

Where to go from here

Hold the wall, spend scrap with intent, and treat every Behemoth as a team exam — not a solo DPS race.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers for Zombie Titans pilots.

What is the main goal in Zombie Titans?

Protect the gate through each siege cycle — March, Surge, and Behemoth — while earning scrap to unlock and upgrade titans in the hangar.

How many players are in a Zombie Titans server?

Server size is eight. The game is cooperative wall defense and supports cross-platform play on PC, mobile, tablet, and console.

What does joining the group give you?

Joining the creator group grants a one-time 1,000 scrap bonus. Claim it early, then spend that scrap on your main titan’s hangar upgrades.

Which titan should beginners pick first?

Start with the kit that matches how you aim: Bulldog for flexible guns, Volt for lightning spreads, Mammoth for heavy artillery, or Mantis for dash melee. Master one before spreading scrap.

Why do flyers matter so much?

Screechers, Gasbags, and Carriers pressure the wall from above and can break a hold during Surge if nobody peels air while the squad faces the Behemoth.
