The Heavy Ordinance Update comes free for all players, and it brings with it a large number of weapon perks, new challenge mode mutators, new premium skins, and tons of other content.

As you can see in the action-packed trailer above, the new Heavy Ordnance update is a good one if you love exploding zombies. With this new update, you can now unlock three perks for each of the game’s eight heavy weapons, including the Chainsaw, Flamethrower, and Multi-shot Rocket Launcher. Similar to the standard weapon perks, these new heavy weapon perks allow you to utilize a wide variety of tactical bonuses and trade-offs in combat, while introducing new potential choices, risks, and rewards.
The six new mutators are live in the Challenge Horde Mode, which will bring additional challenges for you during your runs. These include:
- Dead Pirate: Zekes stay alive for a bit of time after headshots
- Paralytic Toxin: You slow down after taking damage in close combat
- Ouch!: When you are grabbed, a random grenade, molotov, or masking grenade explodes
- Sharing is Caring: When you use a medkit, its effect applies to all team members
- Arm Weakness: You cannot use heavy weapons during Zeke waves
- Slot Machine (permanent mutator): Purchasable defense kits become random
If you want some more bling for your weapons, you can purchase two brand-new weapon skin packs, including:
- Vibrant Halloween Weapon Skin Pack: Serve scares and style in equal measure with colorful new skins for the Mini-21 Scout Rifle, Paladin LMG, Keris V10 Advanced SMG, AUR Universal Bullpup Rifle, and the SchreiTech Forest Warrior Chainsaw

- Raging Phoenix Weapon Skin Pack: Unleash your fury with fiery new looks for the Gal9 Compact SMG, ARK-103 Assault Rifle, Thumper GL Grenade Launcher, Taiga-12 Heavy Assault Shotgun, and the Flamethrower

The new Heavy Ordnance Update is now live across all platforms, including PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. World War Z is currently available on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. The new weapons skin packs cost $4.99 each.
