Electro-Shock Defenses

The Electro-shock Defenses are trap devices that are used against Zombies. They only appear in Verrückt and Shi No Numa.

Verrückt
The Electro-shock Defenses are located on the balcony in Verrückt and can only be used after turning the power on. After this is achieved they can be used at anytime during the zombie attack. They cost a certain amount of points and unleash bolts of lightning after activated, effectively forming an electric barrier. A zombie who passes through this barrier will be zapped and will die soon after. Be careful; they will not immediately die after being zapped, which still give them a chance to attack you. The Electro-shock Defenses aren't picky, either. Any player who unwittingly walks into the barrier will be instantly put into Last Stand and cannot be revived until the trap turns off (which is really a sad way to die). After a certain amount of time the Electro-shock Defenses will deactivate and cannot be activated until after a set period of time. This will leave you at the mercy of the zombie hoard, so use them wisely.

It is currently unknown why the inhabitants of the Wittenau Sanitarium installed these traps in the first place.

Tactics
It is commmon to see players take refuge on the balconies after activating the Electro-shock Defenses. This will take care of many zombies while taking away much of the work the players need to do, as now they only need to watch one or two windows (depending on which balcony you choose). This tactic will be much better if the players have all the perks.

Shi No Numa
The Electro-shock Defenses make a return in Shi No Numa.

Like Verrückt, the Electro-shock Defenses activate a wall of lightning that decimates any Zombie that walks into it. It is located at the entrance of the hut and, unlike Verruckt, doesn't require the power to be turned on first.

As in Verrückt, it is currently unknown why there are Electro-shock Defenses in the middle of the Pacific.

Tactics
A good way to stay alive is to go inside the hut and activate the Electro-shock Defenses. Stay inside there until the Defenses stop working. This is a good tactic as it makes the hut near impenetrable; you only need to watch 2-3 windows. Plus, it can also grant you access to the Perk-a-cola machines and, maybe, the Mystery box.
