This challenge falls under the category of “Combat Challenges“. It is quite a tricky challenge, as you will have to take down 3 zombies with a single shuriken. Hence, you would have to take into account the angle of the throw, the levels of zombies, and also the type of zombies you are planning to go against.

Preparing for the Ninja Challenge?

Before we jump right into the challenge, there are a couple of things you would need to do. These things will increase the chance of you succeeding and here is a list of them:

  • You would need to level up the damage output of your shuriken by completing Batter Up challenges. All you would require to complete these is killing zombies with a curveball. Easy, isn’t it?
  • Choosing a location is an important part as this challenge would require multiple tries and you would want to run back to safety if things go south.
  • Equip a skill card and stack yourself with health items. This should be a preparatory step for most of the challenges you would perform.
  • Selection of the zombie types would play a crucial role, as picking a ranged zombie or a crusher would minimize your chances of succeeding.

Finishing the Ninja Challenge

Once you have done all the steps above and are completely prepared, this is what you need to do:

  • Lure melee zombies close to each other, and as they get close to each other use a stun grenade to stop them at a place.
  • Now, the most important part, shurikens are not designed to maim therefore you need to aim at the weakest spot. Find the correct angle in such a way that all of the zombies seem to be in a straight line, and aim for their knees.

Completing this challenge would take a few tries, but it is definitely fun and worth all the effort.
