Strategy

  • Holy Water is useful against both large groups of weak enemies and smaller amounts of tougher enemies.

  • If you have a Horse, it is recommended to gather up all of the Zombies in a Town and kill them by using the Holy Water. Be careful not to also hit the Horse.

  • Because Holy Water can only spawn in Churches, it is recommended to save it for locations like the Castle, Fort Constitution, or Outlaw's Town.

  • Holy Water can be sold for a decent amount, so it is worth selling for those who don't care about using it as a Weapon.

  • Holy Water is essentially a stronger Molotov, so any strategies that are used with the Molotov can be used with Holy Water.

Pros & cons

  • Has massive damage potential.

  • Can easily deal with large crowds.

  • Can be sold for.

  • It is relatively easy to obtain, with up to 2 per Church.

  • The Priest spawns with 2 of them.

Patch history

  • Sometimes Holy Water will spawn right outside a Church, although this is rare.

  • Holy Water used to create multiple smaller puddles instead of one large one. This was changed in an unknown update.

  • There was also a period of time where Holy Water wouldn't summon Lightning.
