Expert Tips
Use Hand Grenades exclusively in two scenarios: Grenadier trophy farming (throw into groups of 5+ zombies in RPD Parking Garage), and creating distance from Chunk/Victor in enrage phases. Never waste grenades on standard infected that can be parried. Combine with Flash Powder (crafted from 2× Gunpowder Type C) to create Flash Grenades that stun enemies for 5 seconds — ideal for The Commander encounter if parry timing is proving difficult.
