100 Waves Later is a Roblox zombie survival game by the verified group banjo boiler room, and the name is the whole challenge: fend off one hundred waves of the horde, with a boss stomping in every tenth wave. Every run is different because your weapons come from random lucky block drops and your upgrades come from skill rolls, so you adapt your build to whatever the game hands you. You can brave it solo or squad up in servers of up to twenty five players.
Between the waves there is a whole upgrade game of classes, crates, and Scrap to spend, and that is where most new players get lost. This guide covers how a run works, the skill upgrades, the classes worth buying first, the crate system, tips for surviving the deep waves, and a FAQ, plus links to the codes and script pages at the bottom.

How to Play 100 Waves Later
- Start a run. You spawn with a pistol and a crowbar, and the first waves are easy warm-ups.
- Kill zombies for Scrap and lucky blocks. Lucky blocks roll random weapons, and better Luck means better rolls.
- Pick a skill after each wave. You get three options, so grab damage early and take Luck when your guns feel fine.
- Watch for every tenth wave. That is a boss wave, and it also drops a chest with crate keys.
- Spend Scrap between runs. The Weapon Shack sells guns and the Class Shop unlocks classes like Engineer.
- Team up for the deep waves. Reviving each other and stacking different classes is how squads reach wave 100.

Super Skills are the rare game-changers, offered after boss waves and occasionally as bonus drops from zombies. They include doubling all damage for a whole weapon rarity, making your bullets pierce through zombies, and jumping a skill five levels at once. The Pathfinder class exists purely to fish for more of these, which is why players rate it so highly.
100 Waves Later Classes: Which to Unlock First
Classes come from the Class Shop and each one can be upgraded to level 3, unlocking a stronger version of its perk each time. The community’s favorite is the Engineer, which you get free from the Day 7 daily reward: it starts every run with a placeable auto-turret and a wrench to upgrade it, and the turret scales with your Gun Damage skill, so it keeps carrying deep into a run.
Pathfinder is the other top pick, costing 120,000 Scrap, and its perks give you extra chances at Super Skills every round, with boss waves always offering two at level 3. Below those two, players rate Wastelander for its extra weapon slots and ammo, Warrior and Boxer for strong melee builds, and Juggernaut, Scavenger, and Pyro as decent support picks. Start saving for Pathfinder once your daily streak has handed you the Engineer.
Weapons, Crates and Loot
There are 28 weapons in the game, from the free starter pistol, crowbar, and MP5 up to rare and epic guns, and each weapon has a star level and its own damage numbers for body shots and headshots. Mid-run, new weapons come from lucky blocks that zombies drop, rolled by rarity against your Luck skill, and any roll you do not want sells for extra Scrap.
The long-term loot game runs on crates and keys. Special Treasure Head zombies and every tenth wave drop chests with keys, and keys open timed crates that range from the Rusty Crate, which opens in five minutes, all the way to the Mythic-tier Relic Crate, which takes twelve hours. You get three crate slots to work with, six with a gamepass, and everything a crate spits out can be redeemed for Scrap, so higher waves literally pay better.
Tips for New 100 Waves Later Players
- Log in seven days in a row. The Day 7 daily reward is the Engineer class, and a free auto-turret is the biggest early power spike in the game.
- Take Gun Damage and Fire Rate early, then pivot to Luck. Damage keeps you alive now, and Luck turns your mid-run lucky blocks into epic weapons.
- Never waste a boss wave. Every tenth wave drops a chest with crate keys, so fight to clear it even if the run ends right after.
- Sell weapon rolls you will not use. Duplicate or off-build lucky block rolls turn into Scrap, and Scrap becomes your next class.
- Revive teammates the second they fall. A full squad with mixed classes goes several times deeper than any solo run.
- Keep your crate slots busy. Start a long crate before you log off, since the timers tick while you are away.
