Master the Universal Tower Defense Z crime fighting mode with our complete guide. Learn how to beat bosses, complete quests, and farm the Hero Relic Set.

Are you ready to swing through the city and take down iconic villains? The new Universal Tower Defense Z crime fighting mode has completely transformed the extraction gameplay experience. Whether you are playing solo or teaming up with friends, mastering the Universal Tower Defense Z crime fighting event is crucial for unlocking top-tier rewards like the coveted Hero Relic Set. This Spider-Man-inspired game mode introduces fresh mechanics, including web-slinging, pizza deliveries, and intense boss battles against foes like Venom and Green Goblin.

In this comprehensive guide, we will break down everything you need to know to survive the 45-minute extraction timer, optimize your unit loadout, and secure the best loot before the clock runs out.

What is the Universal Tower Defense Z Crime Fighting Mode?

The latest addition to the UTDZ universe brings a superhero flair to the standard tower defense formula. Located in the extractions area of the main lobby, this mode drops players into a sprawling cityscape with a 45-minute time limit. Your primary goal is to travel around the map, complete various objectives, and successfully extract before time expires.

Community reports suggest that while the mode is playable solo, bringing a squad makes managing the chaotic map much easier. Players are equipped with unique traversal abilities, including a web-swinging mechanic (using the Shift key on PC), a forward zip dash (Spacebar), and a building-grapple move (C key). These mobility tools are essential for reaching objective markers scattered across the skyline.

To access the mode, simply walk to the extractions area in the lobby, hop into a matchmaking box, and select the crime fighting option. You will notice that certain event characters have pity rates attached to them, such as a 5% pity for Venom and a 25% pity for both Spider-Man and Iron Man.

Building the Best Team for Extraction

Unlike standard UTDZ stages, this extraction mode uses a strict team point system. Every unit you equip has a specific cost tied to its rarity. You cannot simply stack your roster with the most expensive, overpowered units. Careful planning is required to balance your economy and damage output.

Player experience dictates that bringing at least one reliable farm unit and a high-level DPS character with a localized cooldown (like Gogeta) is the winning formula. Below is a breakdown of how unit costs generally scale and what you should consider bringing.

Unit Rarity / Type	Estimated Point Cost	Role Recommendation
High-Tier Mythical / Secret	50 Points	Primary Boss DPS (e.g., Beast, Gogeta)
Mid-Tier Legendary	30 Points	Secondary DPS / Support (e.g., Goku)
Low-Tier / Rare	15 Points	Early game defense or cheap farming
Farm Units	Varies	Essential for generating cash mid-stage

Remember, you keep the money you earn during the extraction across the different mini-stages you trigger. This means you can build up a massive economy to drop your most expensive units during the final extraction wave. Keep your traits in mind, as ruler traits or high-level upgrade paths will make clearing the mini-stages a breeze.

Navigating the City: Quests and Objectives

To maximize your rewards in the Universal Tower Defense Z crime fighting mode, you must complete a variety of main and side quests. The permanent timer on your screen keeps you on track, while the quest book in the bottom right corner tracks your progress.

As you swing through the city, your "spider-sense" will occasionally trigger, indicating nearby danger or hidden items. Filling up your objective bar by completing these tasks unlocks special character stages.

Quest Type	Description	Objective Goal
Pizza Delivery	A classic side job. Pick up a pizza and race through checkpoints before the timer runs out.	Complete 5 deliveries for max rewards.
Crime Scene Evidence	Find hidden items scattered around the map, such as Iron Man hearts or Green Goblin masks.	Locate specific item counts to clear the log.
Enemy Clear Quests	Start a mini tower defense stage at designated markers to defeat specific enemy types (e.g., Air, Sprinter).	Survive the waves with your 3 livestocks.
Boss Bounties	Track down major villains on the map and initiate a high-difficulty boss stage.	Defeat the boss to earn massive objective progress.

If you are struggling to find specific enemy types, such as airborne enemies, veteran players recommend swinging to the highest rooftops. Quests located near the sky limit of the map are heavily weighted toward air-based enemy waves.

Defeating Bosses: Venom and Green Goblin

The highlight of this event is undoubtedly the boss fights. You can challenge iconic villains like Venom and Green Goblin by tracking their specific side quests. These bosses boast massive health pools—sometimes upwards of 30 million HP—so having your units fully upgraded is mandatory.

When fighting Venom, be prepared for his clone-making abilities. He will spawn symbiote clones that can quickly overwhelm your defenses if you lack AoE (Area of Effect) damage. Using characters that can be quickly sold and replaced to reset their ability cooldowns is a highly effective strategy here.

Note on Bugs: Early community reports indicate that certain boss stages, particularly the Green Goblin fight, may occasionally lack elevated placement areas (hills). This ground-only bug can prevent you from placing crucial air units or support towers. If you encounter this, rely heavily on your ground-based DPS and ensure you have a nuke ready for emergencies. If you want to check for recent bug fixes, keep an eye on the official Roblox UTDZ page for developer patch notes.

How to Get the Hero Relic Set

The ultimate prize for braving this mode is the Hero Relic Set. This powerful gear is obtained by completing World Events within the extraction stage. Whenever a World Event spawns, you must approach it to see if it features the Hero Set drops.

It is incredibly important to note that you must successfully extract to keep any relics you find. If the 45-minute timer expires before you reach the Final Extraction point, your run fails, and all collected loot is lost.

Here are the drop rates you can expect from these World Events:

Relic Piece	Drop Chance	How to Obtain
Hero Accessory	30%	World Events during Crime Fighting Extraction
Hero Top	50%	World Events during Crime Fighting Extraction
Hero Bottom	50%	World Events during Crime Fighting Extraction

Equipping these relics provides massive combat buffs, especially for units that rely on applying status effects to enemies.

Hero Relic Piece	Stat Bonuses & Effects
Accessory	Applying debuffs grants a 12% damage bonus for 10 seconds. Increases debuff duration by 10 seconds.
Top & Bottom	Increases damage dealt by 40% upon applying a debuff (Requires both pieces equipped).
Full Set Bonus	+25% Damage, +15% Elemental Damage, +5% Critical Chance, -5% SPA (Seconds Per Attack).

Tips for a Successful Extraction

Surviving the Universal Tower Defense Z crime fighting mode takes more than just strong units; it takes strategic time management. You have 45 minutes, but extraction points open up periodically (e.g., at the 15-minute mark).

Play with Friends: While solo runs are possible, they often take 25 to 35 minutes and leave little room for error. Co-op allows you to split up, tackle multiple pizza deliveries, and hunt for crime scene evidence simultaneously.
Manage Your Livestocks: You only have three livestocks (lives) for the entire run. Do not waste them on reckless wave skips during mini-stages. Enemies in this mode have surprisingly high HP.
Keep Your Cash Flowing: Because your money carries over between the mini-stages you activate, prioritize placing your farm units early in the run.
Know When to Fold: If your base is struggling and an extraction point is available, take it. It is better to leave early with a few pieces of the Hero Relic Set than to risk a total wipeout against a 30-million HP boss.

When you are ready to leave, head to the final extraction marker and press 'E'. You will have to defend a very small stage for a few waves. Once complete, your loot will be secured in your inventory.
