Widow's Wine and the red-spider drops

Hi ive been wondering what the drops are as well. Ive only seen the blue ones. 

Im pretty sure theyre just to re-power your widows wine. Widows wine runs out sometimes as it will stop working temporarily if you take too many zombie hits. It seems to re-charge if you start a new round??(or just wait?) im not really sure.

 

Widow's wine turns your grenades into the WW effect.

This happens when you throw them, and also happens when a zombie hits you.

So, they act like 4 'charges' that trigger when hit. After 4, the effect is done (I think there is 4). So you could chuck all of your grenades to keep the last zombie from getting deaded from hitting you, if needed.

The quick-leaving spider drops replenish this effect.

Also, stabbing zombies gives a little of this effect, but does not take grenades away.

Ugh, you guys have made me start using this annoying perk again. Ha.

A guess; the red ones may appear after you pick up enough regular ones, or possibly, from X WW grenade kills. They are stronger for the higher rounds.

Well I'm down to cancel out some variables and just experiment with it. I usually get the red ones quick so my first guess is that I collect so many blue drops that I get the upgraded drops.

What if you have to "cocoon" a horde at one of the cocoon locations and shoot the AS where the cocoon seems to spawn at? So where ever the cocoon is supposed to hang just shoot directly at that spot and let all the cocooned zombies get sucked directly in that location while they are webbed directly below it.

Tried times 1000 by the community.

Good thought, but done.

After testing, I'm fairly certain that instead of red spider drops, 360 gets black spider symbols on the spider drops after a while.

Quick upgrade method: get WW perk, gather a train into a group, walk into center of group. You'll get hit 2-3 times and the whole crowd will be webbed. Fire AS at ground, grab the spider swarm, repeat.

Extra a in repeat.
