Basic Zombies are the most common type of zombie. They are the first zombie one could expect to find in a wave, appearing in all the waves (excluding some boss waves), and are also the weakest in combat. This zombie has variants like the Explosive Zombie and the Fast Zombie, although these zombies have different appearances and abilities that set it apart from basic zombies. Basic Zombies do not have any unique abilities.
Basic Zombies have only average walkspeed and low health. However, they can still be a big threat in swarms if you are not careful, as they often appear in hordes during every wave, where they will attempt to overrun the player alongside stronger zombies. Although most competent players should be able to easily overpower them, it could catch a lot of new or unprepared players off guard.
Upon death, Basic Zombies drop 5 cash and 25 experience in Easy Mode. Basic Zombies drop 7 cash and 33 experience in Hard Mode. Depending on how much damage you did to the Basic Zombie, the amount of cash or experience you may earn from killing it may vary(can be 0 experience).
Basic Zombies can be controlled via the infection feature after they die. The Basic Zombie is also unlocked by default, meaning that upon joining the game, it will already be unlocked. The Basic Zombie possesses the same stats as it normally would, and even with the player's intervention, is still very weak.
They are replaced by the alien on the Alien Lair map.
Some zombies can also have pumpkins covering their head on Halloween (first added in 2019's Halloween Event). These zombies act mostly similar to Basic Zombies, except on death, they drop 1-2 candies.

Tips[]
- Basic Zombies are very easy enemies to kill, but in swarms, they can be very dangerous especially to newcomers that only have the starter pistol and knife so don't underestimate them.
- The Sniper is the first gun that can 1 shot Basic Zombies. However, that doesn't mean it's the best gun due to its slow fire rate.
- If you are a new player, the pistol and knife are good enough to deal with Basic Zombies, but if there are multiple of them, it would be recommended to run and shoot them simultaneously.
- If you are new and you see an enraged Basic Zombie or Tank Zombie, remember that you need to do more damage because a Tank Zombie has as much health as 2 Basic Zombies combined
- Try to get any guns such as the uzi as you can shoot faster and deal with hordes of zombies quicker.
- In higher waves such as 50+, in which you need to kill hoardes of zombies, consider make this and their varients as your priority.
