One of the First FPS Zombie Games 50 by Pablo (d1ke2306@gmail.com)
Undead Blocks is a FPS game where you team up with other players and kill zombies in order to earn rewards, it is being developed by Wagyu Games and instead of Play to Earn, the developer likes to call it Kill to Earn.
Surprisingly there is no PvP mode and the team put all their attention to PvE with several different game modes, challenges or speedruns, but at the moment we think all the game modes are very similar to each other. You’ll be able to play alone, invite friends on play with random players once the full game releases, during the open beta you can’t invite friends to play.
The graphics are good and the gunplay is fast and fun, there are several weapons to choose, from pistols to shotguns and machine guns.
The community engagement is good and although they don’t have some insane follower numbers, the community is pretty active across all of their social media, especially on Discord.
Although the gameplay mechanics are pretty good, the game ends up being repetitive and the maps are really small (At the moment there is only 1 map available) and it mostly consists in killing waves of zombies, the lag appears quite often even when playing alone which can get really frustrating.
Tokenomics are just ok, there are some unknowns and the team should release a proper vesting schedule since there is some info that is not entirely clear and could be confusing for most players.
It would also be interesting to have more info about the team, on their website there are only 10 people, only 5 of them have their Linkedin links attached and the team should release full info about them

Tokenomics page was recently deleted form their whitepaper and we already had our concerns about them before, there are some unknowns and the team should release a proper vesting schedule since there is some info that is not entirely clear and could be confusing for most players. Their contracts for the $UNDEAD token are not audited either and we wouldn’t recommend buying the coin right now.
It would also be interesting to have more info about the team, on their website there are only 10 people, only 5 of them have their Linkedin links attached and the team should release full info about them.

Undead Blocks Opportunities 70 by Pablo (d1ke2306@gmail.com)
Undead Blocks main opportunity to become a successful blockchain game is by doing a unique game and at the moment there is no other game like it and if the team manages to improve all the weak points (There are several) it could change the future of the project dramatically.
Zombies are very popular lately in games, TV series and movies so in our opinion the team chose the right genre to build their game, there are a lot of traditional games with zombies involved and they are very successful.
When the team released the first gameplay videos, thousands of players were wishing to play it and that’s the reason they built a solid community, now they have to work hard to deliver the game that they promised to attract even the traditional players, only time will tell if they succeed

Undead Blocks Threats 30 by Pablo (d1ke2306@gmail.com)
There are several potential threats that could lead to a complete failure of Undead Blocks project.
One of the main threats in our opinion is that the game gets really repetitive after few hours even when playing different game modes, in the open beta you can’t play with friends so we coudn’t try the coop modes, however we consider that even in coop the game will get repetitive quickly.
There is only 1 map for now and it’s extremely small making the gameplay even more repetitive since you’re watching the same buildings all the time, if the next maps will follow the same direction the players will get bored very fast and simply stop playing.
Tokenomics are another potential threat, the team should release proper tokenomics with all the numbers, vestings and cliffs. You have to keep in mind that most of the blockchain games fail because of their economy so the team should address this asap. On top of that, the team recently deleted their tokenomics page without any announcement.
Although there aren’t many zombie games on blockchain, there are many shooters that are way more advanced and with more game modes, the competitors are doing a great job and if the team doesn’t fix their main issues, players will simply leave the project and play other shooters.

Unique Zombie Game 70 by Pablo (d1ke2306@gmail.com)
Undead Blocks is probably the first and the only zombie FPS game on blockchain at the moment which is pretty unique and the team’s idea attracted many players to their project and it allowed them to sign some important partnerships.
You can earn tokens by killing hords of zombies with one of the several weapons that are available like pistols, AKM, Mp5 and sniper rifles among others, you could call it a Kill and Earn game.

Undead Blocks Competitors 50 by Pablo (d1ke2306@gmail.com)
Undead Blocks is a zombie shooter game and although there aren’t many other NFT games with the same theme, there are a lot of different shooters that we consider as tough competitors for them, here are some of the most notable ones:
- ev.io
- Mini Royale Nations
- Last Expedition
- Arsenal
- Shrapnel

Undead Blocks Play Summary 60 by Pablo (d1ke2306@gmail.com)
Undead Blocks gameplay is simple and it consists in killing hords of zombies playing either alone or with your friends in some coop modes. Although there are several game modes, at the end it all ends up in killing waves of zombies.
Atlhough the gunplay is pretty fun, the maps (Only 1 available right now) are very small and the gameplay gets repetitive fairly quickly.
It would nice to see more variety while handling weapons, it feels like every shotgun or machine gun feels the same which makes it pretty boring after playing few hours, the team should change it in order to add more variety to the gameplay.
9 Nov 2022 – 18 Jan 2023
Undead Blocks Graphics 65 by Pablo (d1ke2306@gmail.com)
Undead Blocks graphics are actually pretty good, we like how the weapons look, the zombies design is nice and we especially like the lighting and the colors on the maps which improve the overall immersion in this apocalyptic world.
There are moments when you’ll see many zombies on your screen, sadly the game gets very laggy quite often and it gets really frustrating and even can get you killed when it happens and you’re surrounded by zombies. One thing that is concerning is that the computer overheats while playing the game even with setting on low, we find that very odd and we’ll reach out to the team about this issue.
The team released a game trailer just before launching the beta version, you can check it in the link below.

Undead Blocks Engagement 50 by Pablo (d1ke2306@gmail.com)
Undead Blocks gameplay keeps you engaged for few hours, but sadly after playing for about 5 hours the game got extremely repetitive and in our opinion even if the team would introduce a new map it wouldn’t change that fact since the game consists only in killing waves of zombies in a very small space without any story or some extra features that would make it more entertaining.
There are several game modes although in our experience we consider that they are almost all the same, playing with friends could change it and it would be definitely more fun but if the core gameplay doesn’t change or the developer adds PvP for example it won’t be enough to mantain the players engaged with the game for a long time

Undead Blocks How to Play 65 by Pablo (d1ke2306@gmail.com)
It’s fairly easy to start playing Undead Blocks, once you’ve downloaded the game you sign in with your account and form the menu you choose your favorite character, hit play and select your favorite game mode, right now you can choose:
- Solo mode – You need to survive as many zombie waves as you can
- Pistol Speedrun – Survive a certain number of waves as fast as you can
- Mp5 Massacre – Kill as many zombies as you can in the time limit with your Mp5
- AKM Assault – Kill as many zombies as you can in the time limit with your AKM
- Squads (Not available in beta) – Invite your friends and work together and kill as much zombies as you can
In standard mode you start with a pistol and a knife and if you have other weapons in your wallet in form of NFT you’ll be able to use them as well in the battlefield by unlocking them using XP earned during your match by killing zombies. XP earned during the match can also be used for unlocking other special items like molotov cocktails, granades and perks (You need the specific NFT however) or unlocking doors to secret areas on the map.
We’ll leave a informative video that explains how to play Undead Blocks with some tips for the players, link below

Undead Blocks Strategy 60 by Pablo (d1ke2306@gmail.com)
You don’t need to be a very skillful player in order to play Undead Blocks, the gunplay mechanics are very arcade and it’s very easy to learn, especially if you played shooter games in the past and in about 30 minutes you’ll be fully familiarized with the game.
In our opinion there is no strategy needed in order to be good at the game and there is no training or tutorial option either. Sadly the game is lacking some engaging points aside from the possibility to earn rewards by playing, to put it simple if the game didn’t have the P2E option there would probably be almost no gamers actually playing the game for fun

Undead Blocks P2E 50 by Pablo (d1ke2306@gmail.com)
There aren’t too many ways in which you can earn in Undead Blocks and most of them consist in simply killing zombies or climbing in the leaderboards, although there are 3 different tokens making it all a bit overcomplicated.
In order to start you do need to buy a Weapon Loadout NFT, you can play the game for free, but you won’t be able to earn any rewards.
The main earnable reward will be the $GoldenZBUX token that will have several use cases in-game, you can learn more about them in the coin section.

P2E Strategy 65 by Pablo (d1ke2306@gmail.com)
While playing Undead Blocks you can earn 2 different tokens ZBUX and GoldZBUX, each one of them will have different utilities.
Here are the main ways in which you can earn in Undead Blocks:
- After successfully completing a match in any game mode
- Climbing in the leaderboards
- Giveaways for the most active players
- Renting weapon loadouts NFTs to other players
- Participating in tournaments
- Opening loot boxes
- Completing secret achievements
As we mentioned before the only way to earn in the game is by buying a weapon loadout NFT that will also give you access to new weapons and after earning rewards you’ll be able to use ZBUX to upgrade the weapon loadout that will make your guns more powerful and therefore it will be easier to kill zombies and earn even more rewards

Undead Blocks Economy 60 by Pablo (d1ke2306@gmail.com)
Undead Blocks Economy relies mostly on their tokens (UNDEAD, ZBUX GoldZBUX) and NFTs, at the moment of writing there are 2 collections available on Opensea: Apocalypse Collection and Genesis Weapons, both of them have the same items although the Genesis Weapons collection gives you more advantages like receiving token airdrops and more unannounced surprises in the future.
Items from both collections are treated as weapon loadout NFT and you’ll need at least one NFT in order to start earning rewards.
Each NFT has different weapons but all of them have a knife and a pistol with random skins, by owning one you’ll also be able to upgrade your weapons or rent them out and receive GoldZBUX. Here are all the items you can get in these loadouts:
- AKM weapon+skins
- F1 weapon+skins
- Mp5 weapon+skins
- M1911 weapon+skins
- Shotgun + skins
- Grenades
- Knife
- Molotov cocktails
- Different perks to use in-game

Undead Blocks NFT Marketplace 75 by Pablo (d1ke2306@gmail.com)
Undead Blocks NFTs are available for purchase on Opensea, there are 2 collections: Genesis Weapons and Apocalypse Collection.
Genesis Weapons collection was minted in March 2022 and there was a whitelist needed in order to mint it.
Apocalypse Collection can be bought on Opensea and thanks to the so-called “Stake2Mint” which is actually an interesting idea and offers a new approach to gaming NFTs. You need to stake a certain amount of $UNDEAD token for a certain amount of time, by doing that you’ll be able to mint a weapon loadout for free and on top of that you’ll receive staking rewards in form of $UNDEAD token

Although according to the team $GoldZBUX is always pegged to $0.1 there’s no real explanation about how it works exactly and what the team does in order to maintain it that way which raises questions, especially after what happened recently with $LUNA and $UST.

Interesting Staking Program 80 by Pablo (d1ke2306@gmail.com)
Undead Blocks has introduced a very interesting way of staking $UNDEAD token, it’ll not only give you rewards in form of APY but you will also be able to mint NFTs for free by staking the coins for a certain amount of time, right now the rewards work as follows:
- Rookie Pool – You need to stake your tokens for 6 months and you’ll receive a 30% APY rewards and if you stake 1500 tokens you’ll receive a common tier free NFT
- Commander Pool – You need to stake your tokens for 9 months and you’ll receive a 50% APY rewards, by staking 2000 tokens you’ll receive a higher tier free NFT
- Veteran Pool – You need to stake your tokens for 12 months and you’ll receive a 90% APY rewards, by staking 2490 tokens you’ll receive the highest tier free NFT
Thanks to the partnerships with Immutable X the mints made through the Stake2Mint program will be gas-free and will appear instantly in your wallet

Undead Blocks Tokenomics Overview 50 by Steve Lopez (stlo.subs@gmail.com)
The UNDEAD token lives in the Ethereum blockchain and serves as the governance token of the Undead Blocks eco-system. It also allows the purchase of weapon NFTs. It can be staked in order to receive rewards and NFT prizes.
Gold $ZBUX is the reward currency of the game. This token is pegged at $0.10 and runs off-chain. It can be used to upgrade weapon NFTs, as well as to buy perks in-game. Gas costs are reduced thanks to multi-chain withdrawals.
The $UNDEAD token supply is allocated in these following segments:
- Play to Earn: 27% – This allocation is used to fund the Gold ZBUX reward currency and pay inital players while the game becomes profitable
- Undead Staking Program: 25% – It pays the staking rewards to the participants of the Stake2Mint Program
- Ecosystem Pool: 23% – It serves as a way of funding the company’s operations, boost market initiatives and fuel further game development
- Team: 20% – This segment covers the tokens received by the employees of the company
- Initial Liquidity: 1% – This is the initial liquidity available for public trading, and is distributed in equal amounts to centralized and decentralized exchanges
- Private Sale: 4% – These are the tokens sold during the seed and private funding rounds to private investors
Tokens which are allocated to non-circulating categories are unvested progressively over a 4 year vesting period according to their whitepaper although it’s not clear what does it mean exactly.
*January 2023 update: The team deleted the $UNDEAD tokenomics from their whitepaper and according to them it’s because they’ll post an updated version but in our opinion it’s very weird since the tokenomics were done already therefore we recommend caution with the project until it gets solved.

UNDEAD Token Holder Overview on Etherscan 30 by Steve Lopez (stlo.subs@gmail.com)
These are the main wallets holding the $UNDEAD token:
- LockService smart contract (0x5c3e831d309932ddd04e8730c836df5a5390951f) – Holds an amount of 451.74M UNDEAD tokens, which represent 90.34% of the 500M total supply
- An unidentified wallet address (0xc882b111a75c0c657fc507c04fbfcd2cc984f071), which seems to belong to Gate.io, holds 41.5M UNDEAD (8.3% of total supply)
- The Uniswap V2 UNDEAD-USDC pool (0x171d6a77251f64865aa6250119ec661dabd0c947) holds 1.64M UNDEAD (0.33% of total supply)
- Another unidentified wallet address (0xb1412ee22a2a590bb1f076f35d8ea71a1c44016b) holds 891K UNDEAD (0.17% of total supply)

- Wallet with Gate.io 5 label (0xc882b111a75c0c657fc507c04fbfcd2cc984f071), which seems to belong to Gate.io, holds 41.2M UNDEAD tokens (8.2% of total supply)
- Wallet with Gate.io label (0x0d0707963952f2fba59dd06f2b425ace40b492fe) holds 2.22M $UNDEAD (0.33% of total supply)
- The Uniswap V2 UNDEAD-ETH pool (0xa4346f5e18eb867908e6970add1eb62d8a9eddfc) holds 2.10M $UNDEAD (0.42% of total supply)
- Another unidentified wallet address (0xc7a853dcc74310b9c2e8f5bcef303305c1cfe17f) holds 530K $UNDEAD (0.1% of total supply)
As you can see the majority of the wallets have no labels and we’ve seen some suspicious activity with the $UNDEAD pools where after removing the liquidity the tokens are being moved from one wallet to another.
After checking the 0xe0433df7165ee9a0ea8618a374f0926c50080934 wallet (holding 472K tokens) it’s easy to see that all the tokens entering this wallet are being transferred to other wallets and then being swapped for ETH or USDC, it has to be a wallet controlled by the team since all the incoming tokens are being sent from the liquidity pools after removing the liquidity from them which is really suspicious. The wallet is not labeled which adds even more confusion, we’ll try to contact the team and hopefully receive some proper answers.

It’s important to note that this info was recently deleted from their whitepaper and you simply can’t find any info about their tokenomics which is a big red flag for us. On top of that there’s some odd activity with some wallets tied to the team, in our opinion it’s definitely advisable to not trade $UNDEAD token until the situation is solved and the team explains what happened.

Conflicting Tokenomics Numbers 50 by Steve Lopez (stlo.subs@gmail.com)
- The wallet 0xc882b111a75c0c657fc507c04fbfcd2cc984f071 with Gate.io 5 label is currently holding 41.2M UNDEAD tokens (around 8.2% of total supply). Who does this wallet belong to and where does it fall in the tokenomics model laid out in the whitepaper?
- The tokenomics section in the whitepaper has some conflicting numbers. The summary at the beginning says that the initial circulating supply will be 15M UNDEAD (3%), of which 1.5M (0.3%) will be the initial DEX liquidity. Later in this section, it is stated that the initial circulating supply available for public trading will be 1%, of which 0.5% will be for DEX liquidity and the other 0.5% will go to CEX liquidity. How much initial liquidity did the $UNDEAD token actually have? If 3% was used, where did the extra 2% liquidity come from?
- Why the team deleted their tokenomics page without any announcement and what are they changing

- Michael Branson is the Director of Analytics, he worked as Analyst in finance at companies like Liberty Mutual Insurance or AXA among others
- Ken Gamble is the Web3 Business Developer and Community Moderator
- Anthony Christopher is the Marketing Director
As you can see the team has only 7 members but only 1 of them is actually a programmer that’s building the game and has some videogames background which actually explains why the game is so limited with only 1 map and very little content.
The collaboration with Kevuru Games means that there are some of their members working on the game as well but since there’s almost no info about it we’ll try to contact the team and hopefully get some answers.

Project Whitelist is another of their partners, it’s a company specialied in whitelists and teaching about NFT projects.
OxVentures supposedly signed a partnership with them by purchasing several of their NFTs but we couldn’t find any info about this on 0xVentures Twitter or website so for now you have to take this info with a grain of salt.

Undead Blocks Blockchain 90 by Pablo (d1ke2306@gmail.com)
Undead Blocks is being developed on ETH blockchain that just recently reduced their emissions by more than 99.5% and it became one of the cleanest blockchains, transactions are reasonably fast atlhough the fees are not very low yet and there are some other options that would be a better choice.
The team however signed a partnership with Immutable X, a Ethereum layer 2 solution that will enable gas-free transactions for all of the Undead Blocks NFTs giving the players more freedom to transact their items free of charge. All that without losing the security of Ethereum blockchain. The team is finalizing the implementation of Immutable X into their game, it should be done before year’s end

In our opinion it’s one of the best blockchains for NFT games with no fees for minting and trading, extremely fast transactions and on top of that it’s 100% carbon neutral.
It’s also important to note that Immutable X counts with the Ethereum blockchain security which makes it one of the best solutions for any blockchain project especially after the recent hacks and other vulnerabilities.
It’s extremely easy to create a Immutable X account and you only need to have Metamask with a Ethereum wallet created and sign a message once in order to create it. Bridging is also very easy and it takes only few minutes, you can check the link below with the step by step explanations.

A Governance Token and an Off Chain Token Support the Undead Blocks Eco-system 75 by Steve Lopez (stlo.subs@gmail.com)
Undead Blocks runs on two different tokens: UNDEAD token and ZBUX. The UNDEAD token lives in the Ethereum blockchain, which thanks to the transition from PoW to PoS will have a low environmental impact. The ZBUX token runs off-chain.

Undead Blocks Roadmap 70 by Steve Lopez (stlo.subs@gmail.com)
Undead Blocks roadmap is available on their whitepaper with approximate dates although they had several delays in many of their previous milestones, the game was supposedly set to launch in Q3 2022, then it was delayed to Q4 2022 and we’re in Q1 2023 and the game still wasn’t released yet. On the other hand they did met several of their previous targets in the past.
The roadmap needs to be updated as there’s some outdated info in there.
Had to change the entire thing, the info introduced by David was in the wrong section

Undead Blocks Buy Section 50 by Pablo (d1ke2306@gmail.com)
Undead Blocks main token called $UNDEAD is available for purchase on Gate.io and several DEX like Uniswap and Sushiswap.
The main issue about the token is that the tokenomics are not clear enough and in our opinion it needs more detailed info. If you still want to trade it after knowing that, we would recommend buying only a small position and watching the price action closely. In the next sections you can check some potential entries and check the chart analysis.
January 2023 update: It’s important to note that we already had our doubts about Undead Blocks tokenomics but just recently the team deleted the tokenomics section from their whitepaper supposedly to update but since it’s really odd in our opinion we would recommend even more caution when trading the token.

$UNDEAD Entry Strategy 50 by Pablo (d1ke2306@gmail.com)
After looking at the chart it’s really hard to find good entries, although you can check our 2 potential entries with small risk:
- Entry 1: Our first potential entry would be waiting for the price to test its ATL (All time lows) near $0.196 (White line on the chart), ideally the price would momentarily go below this price and then recover quickly above it, that would be an interesting entry for a long term holding
- Entry 2: Our second potential entry would consist in being patient and waiting for the price to reclaim $0.677 (Green line on the chart), ideally the price would go above and test it again and that would be the entry point
To check stop losses and where to take profits in both cases, head over to Exit Strategy section.
January 19 2023 update: At the moment of writing the first strategy is in the making and the ATL level is being retested, it’ll be interesting to see if it plays out.

$UNDEAD Chart Analysis 50 by Pablo (d1ke2306@gmail.com)
After taking a look at the $UNDEAD chart it’s obviously not the best looking chart out there.
It started trading on Gate.io in May 2022 at around $0.196 and the same day price went completely ballistic up to $2.23, which means about 1000% gains in just 24 hours which is impressive. Sadly in the next few days price dumped violently to $0.80.
Since that moment the price was going up and down but seeing many price spikes means that there were many market sales at once during several days and the price slowly started bleeding since then until reaching $0.5 in November 2022.
The most important price point in our opinion is around $0.8, in few words you could tell that if the price is below that it’s bearish, if it’s above it’s bullish
January 2023 update: The price is retesting its ATL levels and there are some potential good entries around this level for long term holding, tou can check out ‘Entry Strategy’ section to learn more about it.

$UNDEAD Token Buying 75 by Pablo (d1ke2306@gmail.com)
Although it may not be the token we would recommend you buying in large quantities, if you really like the game and plan to play it during the upcoming months, it could be a good idea to buy just enough tokens to stake them and be able to mint a free NFT thanks to Stake2Mint program.
Depending on how much are you planning to spend and for how long are willing to stake your tokens you could earn more or less rewards and mint one of the 3 different NFTs. Here are the exact numbers you need to know:
- Option 1: Buy and stake 1500 $UNDEAD for 6 months for 30% APY and 1 common tier NFT
- Option 2: Buy and stake 2000 $UNDEAD for 9 months for 50% APY and 1 rare tier NFT
- Option 3: Buy and stake 2490 $UNDEAD for 12 months for 90% APY and 1 legemdary tier NFT
You can buy $UNDEAD token on Gate.io, LATOKEN and several DEX like Uniswap or Sushiswap, although the best place would be Gate.io because of better liquidity and it’s where you can get the best price.

Undead Blocks Earning Items 70 by Pablo (d1ke2306@gmail.com)
As we mentioned before the only NFT you need to be able to earn are the Weapon Loadout NFTs, it doesn’t matter from which collection.
It’s important to note however that the highest tier NFTs will provide you more advantages and perks that will make it easier for you to earn rewards by giving you more powerful weapons and perks that can be used in-game and weapon upgrades.

$UNDEAD Exit Strategy 50 by Pablo (d1ke2306@gmail.com)
If you decided to invest in one of the potential entries we posted in the ‘Entry Strategy‘ section, here you can check our recommended stop loss placements and some interesting zones to take profits:
- Entry 1: After buying at $0.196 our recommended stop loss would be situated at around $0.138 and the reasoning for giving it a wider stop is that it’s a long term trade. For taking profits the first point of interest would be around $0.563 (Green line) where you could sell 50% of your position and move your stop to breakeven, the next major level would be just below $0.8 where you could sell the rest or keep some small amount in case it goes even higher
- Entry 2: If you decided for the second strategy, our recommended stop loss would be around $0.63 (White line). The first take profit price point would be just below $0.8 (Yellow line) where you could sell about 50% of your position and move your stop to breakeven. The second take profit zone would be around $1.06 (Green line) where you could sell the remaining position
