I’ve been grinding Hunty Zombies non-stop since Update 14 dropped, and let me tell you – this Joker-themed update is absolutely insane! As someone who’s been playing since the early days, I can confidently say this is one of the most content-packed updates we’ve ever seen. From the permanent Joker Raid to the mythic Joker weapon and those ridiculously rare new traits, there’s so much to unpack here.
Update 14 isn’t just another patch – it’s a complete game-changer that introduces the Joker as a permanent raid boss, bringing with him a whole new tier of gear, cosmetics, and challenges. What makes this update special is its permanence. Unlike limited-time events, the Joker Raid is here to stay, giving us long-term farming opportunities and progression goals.
The update revolves around three core elements: the Joker Raid boss, the new Joker weapon system, and the Jester-themed cosmetics. But what really caught my attention are those two new traits – Midas and Yoriichi – with drop rates so low they make legendary items look common!
I’ll be honest – I wasn’t always a Hunty Zombies fanatic. When I first started, I found it overwhelming with all the weapons, perks, and systems to learn. But something clicked when I discovered the raid system. There’s nothing quite like the adrenaline rush of taking down a massive boss with a team of coordinated players, or the satisfaction of finally getting that one rare drop you’ve been farming for weeks.
Update 14 has reignited that passion for me. The Joker Raid perfectly balances challenge and reward. It’s difficult enough to keep me engaged for hours, but not so punishing that I want to rage quit. Plus, the new Joker weapon has completely changed how I approach combat – it’s fast, flashy, and incredibly satisfying to use when you master its card-based mechanics.
After dozens of attempts and countless hours of practice, I’ve developed a solid strategy for consistently clearing the Joker Raid. Here’s my step-by-step approach:
Before you even think about entering the raid, you need the right setup:
Recommended Loadout:
Stats to Aim For:
The Joker starts with his card barrage phase. Here’s what you need to know:
This is where things get intense:
The final phase is pure chaos:
If you’re running with a team (which I highly recommend), here’s the ideal setup:
| Role | Players | Responsibilities |
|---|---|---|
| Tank | 1-2 | Draw aggro, soak damage, use defensive perks |
| DPS | 2-3 | Focus on damage output, use attack speed builds |
| Support | 0-1 | Heal, buff, provide utility if needed |
I spent weeks farming for the Joker weapon, and I can tell you – it’s absolutely worth every minute of grinding. Here’s everything you need to know about obtaining and mastering this mythic weapon.
The process is straightforward but time-consuming:
Time Investment: Based on my experience, expect to spend 15-20 hours of dedicated farming if you have average luck.
The Joker Card weapon has one of the most unique skill sets in the game:
Z – Joker Burst (15s CD): Throw a burst of cards in a close-range punch pattern. This is your main single-target damage dealer and it hits surprisingly hard.
X – Card Cyclone (20s CD): Create a spinning shield of cards around you that damages nearby enemies. This skill is absolutely amazing for crowd control and survival.
C – Carnival Split (25s CD): Unleash cards in an X pattern, dealing massive damage to everything in its path. Perfect for clearing groups of enemies.
V – Joker’s Wild (45s CD): Your ultimate ability. While the description shows “???”, I’ve discovered it summons multiple Joker clones that attack enemies for 10 seconds.
Leveling up the Joker Card mastery is crucial. Here’s what you unlock at each level:
I’ve tested dozens of builds with the Joker weapon, and here are my top recommendations:
Glass Cannon Build:
Balanced Build:
Support Build:
I’ve tested all these codes personally, and they’re all working as of November 2025. Grab them fast before they expire!
If you’re new to the game or haven’t redeemed codes before, here’s how:
Pro tip: Some codes are case-sensitive, so enter them exactly as shown above.
I recommend using your spins strategically:
Update 14 brought more than just the Joker Raid. Here’s a complete breakdown of everything new:
The Joker Raid is now a permanent fixture with:
The Jester cosmetic set isn’t just for looks – each piece provides significant stat bonuses:
Jester Mask (Divine – 3000 Coins):
Jester Rings (Mythic – Raid Drop):
Jester Hat (Divine – 5500 Coins):
Jester Staff (Mythic – Raid Drop):
The Pawker pet is one of the rarest drops (2% chance) but absolutely worth the grind:
Stats:
Special Ability: 7% chance on hit to gain +2 Strength, +2 Attack Speed, +2 Haste, or +2 Flow for 10 seconds
This perk has become my go-to for raid content:
Effect: Grants one random buff:
Duration: 15 seconds Cooldown: 60 seconds
Update 14 introduced two incredibly rare but powerful traits:
Midas (0.1% drop rate):
Yoriichi (0.05% drop rate):
These traits are so rare that seeing one drop is like winning the lottery – but if you get Yoriichi, your damage output will skyrocket!
After spending countless hours with this update, I’ve discovered some advanced strategies that most players haven’t figured out yet.

Raid Mechanics Mastery:
Week 1: Focus on learning the raid mechanics and building your basic gear Week 2: Start farming seriously, aim for your first Joker Card Week 3: Work toward unlocking the Joker weapon Week 4: Master the Joker weapon and start pushing for higher difficulties
A: Yes! Unlike previous raid events, the Joker Raid is here to stay. You can run it anytime, which means no pressure to farm it before it disappears.
A: For beginners, I recommend Ghost or Wizard. Once you unlock it, the Joker Card is definitely the best choice due to its synergy with the raid mechanics.
A: Extremely rare. Midas has a 0.1% drop rate, and Yoriichi is even rarer at 0.05%. To put that in perspective, you might need to run hundreds of raids to see one drop.
A: Yes, but it’s challenging. You’ll need excellent gear, high stats, and perfect mechanics. I recommend starting with a group until you’re more experienced.
A: Absolutely! Unlike purely cosmetic items in other games, these provide significant stat bonuses that can dramatically improve your performance.
A: Based on previous patterns, new codes typically release every 1-2 weeks, especially during major updates like this one. Follow the game’s social media for the latest codes.
Update 14 has completely revitalized Hunty Zombies for me, and I’m sure it will for you too. The Joker Raid offers the perfect balance of challenge and reward, while the new weapon and cosmetics provide meaningful progression goals. Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or just starting out, there’s something in this update for everyone.
I’ve already sunk dozens of hours into this update, and I’m still discovering new strategies and optimizations. The permanent nature of the raid means we’ll be enjoying this content for months to come. So grab those codes, jump into the raid, and experience the chaos of the Joker for yourself!
