Think of it as a Pipe Bomb, only replace the explosion with a dome of electricity that is great for stunning groups. This is another Curveball tied to finishing a sidequest, this time the “Jo’s Rainy Day Stash” quest. If it wasn’t obvious, this flaming bottle will light any zombie hit with it on fire, plus leave a lingering patch of fire on the ground. When you’re brought into the Brentwood Sewer during “The Heart of Darkness” mission, the Molotov will be in the office next to the Filtration Access and Servicing room. This is a basic timed explosive, so toss it into a group for maximum damage. While going through the checkpoints between Beverly Hills and Monarch Studios, keep an eye out for an open crate with the Pipe Bomb in it on one of the tables.

This Curvball is a straight upgrade over the Shuriken since it functions exactly the same, but is electrified. If you missed it, you can also purchase it from Rodriguez later on. While there, make sure to snag the Electric Star sticking out of the safety sign on the fence. You’ll be taken to the Brentwood Water Reclamation Project plant during the “Justifiable Zombicide” mission. Completing this quest will reward you with a bouncing bomb that deals some damage, but is mainly used for applying the Melting status on zombies and leaving behind damaging acid. Keep your eye out for “The Rav-Ages of Caustic-X” sidequest if you want to add this to your arsenal.

It is good for more than just fire control, though, since you can use it to make zombies wet and susceptible to electricity. This is the second unmissable Curveball and is given to you inside the Halperin Hotel to put out a fire. They don’t do a lot of damage, but can stagger and even remove limbs if you aim them well. Using these throws out three Shuriken in a horizontal spread that travels a short distance before falling. On your way to the Halperin Hotel, the Shuriken are lodged into a car door directly in front of you. Given as part of the story by Carlos in Emma’s house, this lets you throw out a chunk of meat that explodes on impact into a pool of meat(?) that attracts all nearby zombies to it.
