Zombie grenade or Zombie bomb is an equipment used by zombies in Counter-Strike Online.
Overview[]
Zombie Grenade is purchasable through the Bomb Specialist package. It can be used in Zombie Mode 2 and above and is usable only once in each round. In Zombie: The Hero however, the zombie grenade can be used again upon respawn.
This grenade can be used to disorient a targeted human's aim by inflicting knockback and giving the opportunity for the zombies to storm the front as the humans reset their aim. Zombie Grenades can also be used to disperse a human's fortification, sending them flying away. Its knockback effect is much more profound in Zombie Mode 3.
If it is used correctly with the right jumping timing, it enables a zombie to reach higher places by taking advantage of its knockback. This is often exploited with players with Light Zombies. Tall zombies such as Deimos and Ganymede can use the increased knockback power in Zombie Mode 3 to propel upwards, which can be useful to reach the rear end of Assault's ducts and melee an unsuspecting human.
However, in Zombie: The Union and Zombie Scenario, Zombie Grenade hurts the opponent instead.
It often appears in Zombie Scenario, thrown by the Throw Type zombies (green colored). This grenade deals damage to the players and disorients their aim. They often appear in large numbers and the best way to deal with them is by running in a uniform cycle.
Variant[]
This is a Green variant of Zombie Grenade that was first introduced during Zombie Mode Rework. It shares the same performance with the original one, however, it explodes instantly upon contact with human/zombie.
Tactics[]
- Throw it at a group of humans to knock them away from their safe human camps.
- Throw it somewhere nearby you and right before it explodes, jump. If done right, it should boost you high enough to reach normally inaccessible areas, depending mainly of the zombie type that performs it.
