All weapons available for purchase from Wallbuys in the Red Zone will consistently have an Epic or Legendary rarity, and they cost a whopping 4,000-5,000 essence. You can identify the rarity of the wallbuy based on the color of the weapon outline. These weapons are essential in the Red Zone due to their Bonus Damage effect.
Completing contracts in the High Threat Zone may reward you with Aetherium Crystals and Aetherium Tools with Wonder rarity. Using these items enables you to Pack-a-Punch your weapon to Level 3 or change its rarity to legendary, respectively.
These items are exceptionally valuable as they cannot be crafted in the schematics. However, you can exfil with these items and save them for your next run.
If you manage to exfil successfully with these schematics, you can craft the corresponding item every three hours at the crafting schematics screen before entering a game.
How to Get All Crafting Schematics
In addition to the Crafting Schematics you can obtain from completing contracts, there's also a chance to acquire a Wonder Weapon Case Schematic that enables you to craft a Wonder Weapon Case every 48 hours.

All weapon upgrades can be refunded by visiting the tombstone, west of Old Town and paying your respects at it. This will remove all Pack-a-Punch levels, Ammo Mods, and Rarity of the weapon you're currently holding.
Preparing for the Red Zone |

Do Not Equip a Secondary Weapon (for Running Speed) |
Due to the abundance of sprinter zombies in the Red Zone, it is advisable not to equip any secondary weapon. Instead, use your bare hands to run away from zombies if you find yourself overwhelmed. Stamina-Up doesn't really help you outrun the zombies here.
As soon as you spawn in the game, immediately start completing nearby contracts and collect at least 5,000 Essence. Once you've gathered enough essence, head towards the wallbuys in the red zone and search for a legendary weapon. You can determine the rarity of the weapon by checking the color of the outline; in this case, you are looking for a weapon with an orange outline.
This step can be skipped if you possess a Wonder Aetherium Tool, allowing you to change the rarity of your weapon to legendary and gain the 300% Bonus Damage Effect.
After getting a legendary weapon from the Wallbuys, immediately start farming contracts on Low and Mid Threat Zone to gather Essence which you will need to Pack a Punch your weapon to Level III. This will make the enemies at the High Threat Zone much more managable especially the special Zombies.
After obtaining a legendary weapon from the Wallbuys, immediately begin farming contracts in the White and Orange Zones to gather Essence. This Essence is required for Pack-a-Punching your weapon to Level III, making the enemies in the Red Zone much more manageable, especially the Special Zombies.
You can speed up this process if you possess a Raw Aetherium Crystal or a Refined Aetherium Crystal. Use this to Pack-a-Punch your weapon to Level I or Level II to reduce the required Essence you need to collect.
Group up with your squad and play with at least two other players for assistance. The enemies in this area are much stronger, and there are a lot more special zombies in the area, making it extremely difficult to explore alone.
Healing Aura is one of the best Field Upgrades you can use, allowing you to instantly revive all nearby downed players without having to get close to rescue them. This enables you to assist your team while focusing on clearing the zombies in the area.
Obtaining a Hellhound pet from the Doghouse is crucial if you are going to explore the Red Zone, as it can revive downed teammates and draw the attention of zombies, providing you with more space to clear out zombies.
In total, there are 9 different Perk-A-Colas available in the game. It is essential to acquire these perks before entering the Red Zone, as the benefits they provide can be crucial during your exploration.
Prioritize obtaining perks such as Juggernog, Quick Revive and Deadshot Daiquiri, as they are among the most important for increasing your chances of survival.
