Project Lazarus ZOMBIES Tier List Hub

This hub is the ranking map for Project Lazarus: ZOMBIES, the Roblox co-op survival shooter that has been live since 28 June 2016. Lobbies still cap at six players. There are no codes, three optional weapon game passes, and a four-perk drink limit. Rankings here ignore Robux and ask a simpler question: what still works when zombie health is exponential and Max Ammo is rare?

Three subpages split the work:

• Weapons tier list — S-tier wonder guns, A-tier LMGs and shotguns, wall versus box.
• Perks tier list — Juggernog and Double Tap as the S pair, then Speed Cola, Mule Kick, and Quick Revive fighting for the last two slots.
• Best loadouts — two-gun sets for Graduation and Research, plus Mule Kick three-gun plans and an Insta-Kill dump gun.

Criteria we actually use

High-round ammo. A Ray Gun that deletes a train and then sits empty is a liability. Wall weapons you can refill (MP5, SKS, M14, Ranger, Remington 870, B93 Raffica) rank higher than their raw damage charts suggest. Box weapons with huge reserves (LMGs, some shotguns) sit in A. Wonder weapons sit in S only after Pack-a-Punch, because that is when they stop falling off.

Box RNG. The Mystery Box costs 950. Frostbite does not appear on rounds 1–5, then has a 15 percent chance to even be in the deck on 6–10 and 20 percent from round 11, and is rarer than a normal card when included. The Ray Gun is a standard-pool wonder. Easter eggs Maverick (Nerf) and Whizzbanger are jokes until Pack-a-Punched. A rank that assumes you already have Frostbite on round 8 is a highlight reel, not a plan. Honey Badger, Model 1887 (June 2026), Laugo Alien, and RPG-7 exist in the free pool; they are not pass-gated.

Perk slot value. You may hold four of five drinks: Quick Revive 1,500, Double Tap 2,000, Juggernog 2,500, Speed Cola 3,000, Mule Kick 4,000. A third gun from Mule Kick is only as good as the two you already Pack-a-Punched. Quick Revive is worth more in a disorganized six-stack than in a disciplined duo. Those arguments live on the perks tier list.

How to read a YouTube list

Many “all weapons ranked” videos are from 2025. The Model 1887 lever-action shotgun arrived in June 2026. If a creator never names that gun, treat the shotgun row as incomplete. Pass guns (Glock 37 GAP, Glock 47 MOS, KPOS G2, AKS-74U, AK-12, RPK-74, M4 SOPMOD II, R0635, MSSR) only exist for owners. We still rank them, but we mark them as paid extras, not as the baseline kit.

Pack-a-Punch at 5,000 points changes almost every row. Unupgraded Desert Eagle is a mid-round bully; upgraded it stays in conversations longer. Unupgraded Ray Gun already slaps; Iscariot’s Kiss (Pack-a-Punched Ray Gun) and Absolute Zero (Pack-a-Punched Frostbite) are the S ceiling. Details and the ranking video sit on the weapons page.

Maps change the grade

Graduation is a Japanese high school with two spawns split by an electric door until power. The library loop is the default train. Close shotguns and SMGs play up. Research is a Shenzhen facility in three blocks with three teleporters and Pack-a-Punch under the testing-chamber stairs. Longer sightlines bump rifles, LMGs, and the Ray Gun. Loadouts on the loadouts page split those two maps on purpose.

Power-ups also swing a rank for one round. Insta-Kill makes a trash pistol into a dump gun and tells you to put the wonder weapon away. Nuke pays 400 to everyone. Carpenter and Double Points change how you spend, not which gun is S. Do not promote a weapon because it looked good under Insta-Kill.

Use this hub as the index, then argue with the subpages. If a new box gun ships, the weapons list moves first, then loadouts, then this paragraph. Perk prices have been stable; weapon rows have not, especially after the 2026 shotgun.
