The Skill Tree system in Hunty Zombies lets you strengthen your character in a permanent, progression-based way. Every upgrade requires tokens, and since many players don’t know where these tokens come from, this guide breaks down the exact method and the fastest way to earn them.
What Are Skill Tree Tokens
Skill Tree Tokens are the core resource used to unlock or upgrade nodes inside your Skill Tree. Each node provides long-term bonuses such as improved damage, faster healing, extra movement speed, or stronger survivability. These upgrades stack, so consistently earning tokens is essential if you want to keep up with late-game raids and the new Payload mode.
You can view your Skill Tree by opening your Profile menu and selecting the Skill Tree tab.
How to Get Skill Tree Tokens
Right now, there is only one reliable way to earn Skill Tree Tokens, and it comes directly from the newest content in the game.
1. Play the Payload Mode
Skill Tree Tokens drop exclusively from the Payload game mode. This mode was added in the recent update and is designed to reward constant participation.
Here is how to access it:
- Open the Choose Mode menu.
- Select Payload from the mode list.
- Load into the City map.
- Complete rounds and defend the moving payload.
- Earn tokens as you progress and finish runs.
The more you grind the mode, the more tokens you collect, allowing you to upgrade your Skill Tree steadily.
Why Payload Gives Tokens
Payload is structured around objective-based progression, meaning you stay active throughout the match. Since the developers want players to engage with the mode, they tied long-term upgrades to it. This ensures you revisit the mode regularly rather than farming older content.
Tips for Faster Token Farming
If you want to maximize your token income, keep the following in mind:
- Stick with a coordinated group so the payload moves faster.
- Use weapons with strong area control, such as the new Sledge Hammer.
- Stay close to the payload to keep its health consistent and prevent slowdown.
- Aim for longer runs to increase your chances of earning multiple tokens per session.
Consistent grinding in Payload will noticeably speed up your Skill Tree progress.
