Survive a Million Monkeys

Survive a Million Monkeys Beginner Guide

Your early goal is not a leaderboard run: learn the arena, keep a route open, and turn Cash into enough damage before waves become difficult to control.

1. 1Finish the tutorial firstUse it to learn the lobby flow, available loadout options, and where to redeem codes before starting regular runs.
2. 2Fight in open groundCircle through wide areas so the horde follows behind instead of approaching from several directions.
3. 3Upgrade before pressure peaksSpend Cash on useful weapon and health improvements before a larger wave makes saving feel pointless.
4. 4Protect your escape lanePrioritize monkeys blocking your movement path over distant targets that do not threaten your position.

Best Class Guide

Classes change how a run feels through their perks, equipment, and Ultimate. Exact ability values can change, so start with a role that fits how you prefer to handle a horde.

• Juggernaut

  A durable front-line choice for players who want more room for mistakes while learning crowded waves.

• Bomber

  A crowd-control focused option for players who prefer dealing with clustered enemies.

• Medic and Engineer

  Support-oriented roles that can be especially useful when coordinating with friends.

Tier List

This tier list focuses on roles that remain useful as enemy counts rise. Reliable damage, crowd control, and space-making tools matter more than flashy early-wave performance.

Weapons Guide

Weapons progress through four tiers, from handguns to heavy equipment. Pick tools that solve the problem in front of you: steady damage early and wider crowd clearing later.

• Tier 1: Handguns

  Starter weapons for the opening waves; use them to learn aiming and movement.

• Tier 2: Shotguns

  Medium-range power that can help clear an urgent path at close range.

• Tier 3 and Tier 4

  Assault rifles and heavy weapons become more important as enemy numbers intensify.

Survival Strategies

Most runs end after the horde takes control of your movement. These habits help you retain space when mixed enemy groups arrive.

• Do not camp in a corner

  A wall behind you turns a manageable group into a trap when enemies arrive from the sides.

• Use chokepoints briefly

  They can funnel enemies for damage, but leave before the route behind you is blocked.

• Use Ultimates deliberately

  Class Ultimates charge through kills and can provide crucial relief during late-wave pressure.

Co-op Guide

Playing with friends gives the team more ways to manage lanes, flanks, and difficult waves. Communication matters most when the group needs to reposition.

• Call your movement direction

  Tell teammates where you are rotating so everyone leaves pressure together instead of splitting into separate traps.

• Cover different threats

  Let one player watch the forward lane while another checks for enemies cutting off the flank.
