Strategy

Below are tips on how to defeat the shambler. We will update this as we go along.

Bloaters are weak to weapons that cause fire which means that incinerating them with either the Molotov cocktail or Nail bomb is effective. While the enemy doesn’t die as quickly as the others, burning or catching them within the blast radius makes them stagger and become prone to follow up attacks. Use the extra time to switch to your gun of choosing. You can opt to use the shotgun or hunting rifle. Take care not to get too close to the infected since its body blows up shortly after it dies.
