Laboratory Guide: The Brain of Your Survival Strategy
In Last Z: Survival Shooter, raw firepower will only get you so far. To truly dominate the wasteland, you need scientific advancement. The Laboratory is the action building responsible for researching new Technologies, which enhance everything from your resource production to your troops' lethality in the field.
Unlocking Lab No. 2: Double Your Productivity
As you progress into the mid-game, a single research queue won't be enough. One of the most significant milestones in Last Z is unlocking the second Laboratory.
How to unlock Lab No. 2:
- Reach Headquarters Level 18.
- Obtain a Research License from the License Store.
- Build the second lab to allow two simultaneous technology researches.
Laboratory Levels & Power Scaling
Upgrading your Laboratory doesn't just unlock higher-tier tech; it provides a massive boost to your overall Base Power. Below are the key milestones in your Laboratory's development.
| Lab Level | Unlock Requirement | Power Boost |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | HQ Lvl 7 | 6,000 |
| Level 10 | Standard Resources | 72,635 |

Why Focus on Research?
Every second spent without an active research project in your Laboratory is a missed opportunity. High-level labs allow you to access the Advanced Technology Tree, which provides the critical buffs needed for cross-state wars and top-tier zombie challenges. At Level 30, your Laboratory becomes a powerhouse, contributing nearly 5 million power to your base.
