The Pet Run is a specialized tactical combat challenge inside the Missions hub where your companion animals take center stage. Unlike core story fights or other zombie-slaying modes, your survivor sits out of these battles entirely. Instead, your pets must fight completely alone against waves of hostile enemy creatures to harvest vital enhancement resources, specifically Pet Tickets, Tactical Tickets, and Gearwheels.

To access this mode, open the Missions menu from the main game hub screen and select the Pet Run icon.

  

How to Navigate Pet Run

Preparing your squad and successfully navigating a run requires a few key strategic actions:

  • Tap the Pet Run icon inside the Missions screen to load the primary deployment window.
  • Review the active challenge profile details displayed inside the interface.
  • Before initiating combat, take a moment to enhance your active beasts and utilize the Quick Equip button to ensure your absolute highest-powered companions are deployed for the fight.
  • Tap the Challenge button located at the bottom of the window to deploy your squad. Launching an attack consumes 1 Barn Key.
  • Watch your companions engage in consecutive battles against enemy pet waves, which scale in power as you progress.
  • After successfully clearing a set of battles, you face a critical operational choice:

- Push Forward: Continue fighting progressively stronger enemies to heavily multiply your upcoming voucher and gearwheel payouts.
- Claim Rewards: Safely retreat and cash out instantly to secure the rewards for the Pet Bosses you have already defeated up to that point.

  

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: How do I acquire more Barn Keys to enter the Pet Run?

A: Barn Keys are automatically replenished at the start of each daily server reset. Additionally, you can farm extra keys by clearing your daily objectives in the Tasks Menu, claim as a rare reward in the Spinner, or purchase them through the store tab.

Q: Do my pets need to be equipped in my main story battle layout to fight here?

A: No. The Pet Run uses its own separate active layout. However, any global level-ups or shard upgrades you perform on your pets are universally shared across all modes. Using the Quick Equip toggle inside this specific window ensures your strongest available pets are automatically selected for the run.
