How to upgrade the Monkey Bomb in Firebase Z

  • Step 1 – Obtain a Monkey Bomb through drops from Zombies or the crafting station.
  • Step 2 – Get near one of the three available Aether Reactors. (Make sure it’s activated)
  • Step 3 – Kill 50 Zombies with a Monkey Bomb near an Aether Reactor. You can keep track by checking the scoreboard.
  • Step 4 – The next Monkey Bomb you throw will be a special one, that will have more damage, play different music, and will result in the Zombies dancing around it.

That’s it! You can now use more powerful Monkey Bombs that make Zombies dance!
