Firecrackers are a pack of store-bought fireworks that work as a thrown noise maker. Their job is to make a loud bang that pulls zombies toward the spot where they land.
A lit pack thrown away from a path draws zombies off it. That makes them a handy tool for clearing a street, slipping past a crowd or emptying a building. Firecrackers are a common find in gas stations, corner stores and carnival game stalls. The Engineer is the best occupation for explosives. It can make traps and explosives from the start.
Combat
To throw them, hold the Firecrackers in one hand and a lighter or matches in the other. The throw works the same way as a Fire Bomb, and the pack lands up to 10 tiles away. The bang draws nearby zombies toward the landing spot.
Firecrackers suit a quiet plan rather than a fight. A throw away from a door or a car leads zombies off the path. A throw into a street can lure a group away from a house before looting it.
Firecrackers weigh almost nothing, so a few packs fit in any bag. The homemade Firecracker - Crafted works the same way.
Locations
Firecrackers are a common find. Carnival game stalls give the best odds, with counters at dart, duck shoot, hoop, ring toss and throwing games. Gas stations, corner stores, convenience stores, general stores and Zippee stores stock them on their shelves and counters. Bandit zombies often carry a pack. Children's cigar boxes hold one now and then. Liquor store counters, school lockers and bedroom lockers carry a small chance.
