Update 7 at a Glance
Evolution Studio Games released Update 7 as the headline weapons expansion for Final Swarm in late August 2026, introducing three new permanent weapon unlocks: the Shotgun, the Poison Flask, and the Trident. These additions rounded out the meta against zombie, ninja, and goblin mixes.
Update 7 has been superseded by Update 8. The XtraVoid code that accompanied Update 7 has expired. Shotgun, Poison Flask, and Trident remain competitive weapons in the current meta alongside Update 8 additions.
New Weapons in Detail
Shotgun: close-range spread weapon that devastates zombie hordes when kiting paths collapse. Best paired with a long-range secondary for ninja coverage.
Poison Flask: area damage over time tool ideal for grouped enemies. The DoT component means goblins keep taking damage even if your aim is slightly off.
Trident: pierce weapon purpose-built for lined-up ninja and goblin corridors. Particularly effective in later Jungle rounds where spawns create predictable enemy lines.
Update 7 Weapons in the Current Meta
Shotgun, Poison Flask, and Trident remain S and A tier picks in the Update 8 meta. They complement Flame Walker, Laser Beam, and Tornado from Update 8 rather than being replaced by them.
Full tier list revisions incorporating all Update 7 and Update 8 weapons are in progress.
