Holy Water is a weapon featured in the Undead Nightmare DLC pack.
Marston receives this weapon during the mission Mother Superior Blues.
Although this is one of the weapons Marston can possess, players cannot "cheat" for it because its DLC.
Description
Holy Water is a flask of water that has been blessed by a religious official, thus making it holy and harmful to anything evil, including zombies. It is similar to the fire bottle, except that it kills zombies immediately, they burn with holy blue fire rather than slowly burning to death with normal fire, and it cannot harm the player when walked over.
In the multiplayer mode, Undead Overrun, Holy Water is very different, as it acts like a kind of artillery designator. Once it is thrown, it immolates and incapacitates any Zombie nearby, as before. But soon afterwards, huge and explosive bolts of lightning fall from the sky randomly in the general area that the Holy Water landed. These bolts kill any zombies in the vicinity, spectacularly, and the bombardment itself is extremely destructive, including to the players themselves. Holy Water is one of the random weapon drops in Undead Overrun, and is also sometimes given to the player who opens the coffin in game.
An effective way to use Holy Water is to throw undead bait and wait until a few zombies come, and then throw the Holy Water. This tactic can also be used on Overrun when you are getting swarmed by the undead and can also help to complete the wave faster and earn a better combo.
