Atom Zombie Smasher/Research
Heli cabin[edit]
The first upgrade increases the capacity of the helicopter to 40, with each successive upgrade increasing it by 5.
In a normal campaign, there's no need for more than one upgrade as you would reach your rescue quota by two pickups.
Llama Mod[edit]
When you get Llama bombs, you can initially drop two bombs. The two upgrade levels allow placing an additional llama bomb, up to a maximum of 4.
Artillery Mod[edit]
This upgrade adds an extra barrel to the artillery, allowing additional shots per upgrade. The upgrades allow for 2 shots per volley, followed by 4, 6, then 8.
Elephantbird[edit]
Each upgrade doubles the clip size and shells per barrage.
There's no need upgrade this, as the fast reload rate and attack power already make it trivial to eliminate zombies.
Merc Training[edit]

Catbird[edit]
Research into the Catbird cannin increases how quickly it gets charged. The first upgrade increases the rate by 20%, with higher upgrades increasing by 10% per level, up to a 40% increase.
Kraken Bomb[edit]

Epinephrine[edit]
