Fire Pit

thumb|300px|right|The Fire Pit in action The Fire Pit is a trap featured on Kino der Toten and Ascension. It costs 1000 points to activate, incinerates any Zombie that runs through it, and kills any player that walks into it. The Fire Pit can be effective if all players stand behind it, or if someone throws a Monkey Bomb into it. Both tactics can help kill large swarms of zombies, which is extremely useful in later rounds. There is a spot at the fire trap where you can stay and the zombies will come straight through the trap, and the only way you can be hit is the zombies coming from either the barrier by the MPL and the door that leads to the alley.

In Ascension, the fire pits seem more advanced, being an array of vertically-firing flamethrowers placed along corridors unlike the "bonfire" in the center of the floor in Kino. Their new appearance is reminiscent of the Electro-shock Defenses as they are positioned at gates and other choke points.

Trivia

 * The fire pit makes electrical sounds even though it uses fire instead of electricity.
 * If a Space Monkey is incinerated with it, the player will be awarded with the "Chimp on the Barbie" achievement/trophy.
 * if you chuck a Gersch Device into the Pack-A-Punch Fire trap and turn it on at the direct time the gersch will float above the trap and once the Fire trap turns off, the Gersch will stay on forever.
