Overview[]

SKULL-1 is a double-action revolver chambered with 7 rounds of .50 Anti-Zombie. It has two firing modes: semi-auto and full-auto fire. Semi-auto fire mode deals higher damage but has lower accuracy and lower rate of fire while the full-auto fire mode has higher rate of fire, higher accuracy but does lower damage.

  • In Zombie Scenario, SKULL-1 can give a long stun to Pursuer-type zombie.
  • Be careful when buying SKULL-1's ammunition in Scenario, 600 rounds will burn out your money real fast.
  • It is very accurate, aim for the head with semi-firing mode for massive damage (~250+ to zombies and ~125+ to human).
  • Use the semi-auto fire mode to deal with enemy in far distances while full-auto fire mode if enemy is close to you.
  • This weapon can be an appropriate replacement for the Desert Eagle in normal matches.
  • SKULL-1 is a good barrier destroyer in Scenario modes.
  • Shoot zombies when they are in midair to knock them away. Note that it doesn't apply to heavy-type zombies like Deimos, Ganymede or Heavy Zombie.
  • Equip this weapon as your secondary in case you are shocked by Deimos and need to escape.
  • Use the semi-auto fire mode to kill zombies while full-auto fire mode for escaping.
  • Not recommended to combine with Deadly Shot due to low clip size, use it at dire situations or when the zombie is weak.
  • Aim for newly infected zombies as they are weak and easy to kill or soften them first and then use primary.

Tactics Against SKULL-1 Users[]

Normal matches[]

  • SKULL-1 users are dangerous if the player have experienced SKULL-1 abilities because it is more accurate than most high-caliber pistol. Be aware to battle with SKULL-1 user in close to middle range.
  • SKULL-1 will take you down immediately with just 1 shot to the head or 2-3 shots to the body despite wearing Kevlar and Helmet. Try to not counter them in close range unless you have good skills.
  • Avoid direct combat alone but work in groups. SKULL-1 users will not have enough ammo to kill you.
  • Surprise attack is recommended.
  • Do not run in a straight line or stand still, 1 shot to the head can perform instant kill.

Zombie Mods[]

  • If you have a massive amount of 5000 HP and more, feel free to infect SKULL-1 users if they do not have a good primary and melee weapon.
  • Use zombies with small hitboxes like Light Types to minimize the chance of being shot at. Bunnyhop if possible.
  • Heavy types is also recommended when facing SKULL-1 users too due to SKULL-1's low knockback.

Trivia[]

  • SKULL-1 is the second revolver that appears in the game, the first one is Colt Anaconda.
  • The SKULL-1 is based off the MP412 REX since it automatically ejects the bullets using casings when the barrel is tipped down.
    • Anaconda and King Cobra's casing has to be extracted manually, making SKULL-1 the only revolver so far with automatic extraction.
