AFK Farming Guide

Perks and weapon upgrades are expensive in this game. Here's how to farm cash AFK!

The Build

Weapon Selection

Both Flame Edge and Mageblade are viable weapons due to their dual Melee and Elemental type.

Perks

The main mechanic behind this build is the interaction between life-steal and elemental stuns. Elemental stuns prevent non-cursed zombies from attacking you and give you time to heal up. This is especially important in later rounds as it prevents you from being overwhelmed by damage and allows you to tank through cursed zombies. Additionally, cash drops scale as rounds progress, so surviving is key!

Don't have enough money for the full build? Here are the most important perks.

Vampire - Your most consistent source of health regeneration

Grave Robber - For increased cash generation from melee kills

Daddy Warbucks - For increased cash generation

Body Armor - Reduces damage taken, allowing you to survive longer

Ninja - Increases the effectiveness of melee weapons, enabling you to survive longer

The Location

Where you choose to AFK is an important factor in mitigating damage. Mobs should only be able to attack you from the front, preventing you from being overwhelmed. Mobs should also spawn close to your location, allowing you to sustain life-steal in later rounds as cursed zombies scale in their damage. If zombies spawn too far and take too long to walk into your attack range, your healing will not be able to keep up.

There are several locations in the game that meet these criteria. Personally, my favorite one is a small alcove in the southwest corner of the map. The video below showcases why it's effective.

Since zombies can only spawn within a limited range of the character, and most of the area around this position is inaccessible, zombies spawn very close in front of the character. This ensures that there's always plenty of zombies to life-steal from, allowing you to effectively tank damage.

How do I get there?

Since this game does not provide a mini-map and is extremely confusing to navigate, hopefully these landmarks serve as an indicator that you are in the right area. In general, try to travel southwest as much as possible.


Landmark 1: If you are at this store, travel south on the main road to the right.


Landmark 2: If you are in this small neighborhood, travel west along the main road.

The Result

Unluckily, a group of explosive zombies were right behind a cursed explosive zombie, resulting in a chain explosion that killed me instantly. Still, look at all those dollars!

I used this guide to put me on the right path to get further in the levels.
However, it's more of a money farm guide then an AFK as the money drops in front of you and you actually need to move around and collect it.

All and all a great guide.

made it round 77 collected 1.71 mill doing this, the zombies sometimes cage themselves so they still shoot at you but cant get in so that might do you in.

how're you supposed to collect the money AFK? in the demonstration video all the money is falling in front of the player and not in the player hitbox, which if you were AFK like this was intended for, you wouldn't be able to collect it.

does the perk firebug not add to damage due to it saying increase all elemental damage?
