There is a crack between the barriers where players can shoot through, but at limited a view.

Headache[]

The objective is to place drill buckets on the heads of as many zombies as possible, then run to a control station at the front and back of the arena and activate the buckets remotely. The more blenders are on zombies the more points you get. Players can sabotage their opponents by blowing their buckets up with explosives before they are activated. The player with the most points at the end of the round is the winner.

Master Shafter[]

In this game you have a Lance to use on zombies, however there are others that want that zombie, and are willing to knock you down to get it. Unless you got quick fingers and a layout of the controller you're not gonna get any zombies. Its a button mashing frenzy!
