  2. I assumed John's weakness was the head/brain, since that's the weakspot of all of the other zombies in Undead Nightmare. Also, the holy water is more explosive in the game, but I wasn't quite sure how to stat it out. Maybe give it grenade states, but it only affects non-good zombies.

  3. Yeah it really makes it a splash effect weapon. I think a grenade is a good example.
