Zombie Grenades Practice
Throw grenades at zombies to save hostages and blast them apart with specialized frag, contact, and UV grenades as well as other exciting explosives and objects! Hide and strategize which grenade to use, aim and then throw them to avoid taking damage from zombies and turrets.
Fitness Potential
Throwing virtual explosives while taking cover in room scale and across many levels and areas makes for a light upper and lower body game that requires you to be stealthy. The more grenades with special abilities you throw with precision, the better odds you have at survival.
Adding a weighted vest to Zombie Grenades will add resistance and trigger fat burn.
