The Zombot

BOSSNEVER INFECTS

A giant robot zombie, about 5 blocks tall. It slams the ground, sweeps everything in front of it, roars so hard that everyone around is blown away, and its fists fly out on chains to reel you in.

Its lair: Scrapyard

It waits in its lair and wakes up when you step onto the arena floor. Hide behind the wrecks. Your guidebook radio leads you there. All the lairs →

Boss bar

Shown over its head during the fight, in its own theme.

Attacks

Ground slam

Smashes the floor 2.5 blocks in front of it: everyone within 5 blocks is hit and thrown in the air.

14 dmg
Sweep

A very wide swing (5.8 blocks) that hits every survivor in front of it at once and knocks them far back.

10 dmg
Roar

4 shock waves in a row: every survivor within 10 blocks is pushed away and the screen shakes. Used from up to 16 blocks.

push
Chain Fists

From 6 to 13 blocks away, its fists shoot out on chains, spinning like drills: the first survivor between them is caught, reeled in and dropped at its feet.

8 dmg
Call the team

Calls 2 team members every 27 s (never more than 6 around it).

Team

The zombies it calls into the fight, 2 at a time.

Loot

Every player who hurt it gets their own loot in their inventory: 20 to 30 scrap, 1 jackpot and 2 different bonus items. 25% chance that a weapon comes upgraded (a random mod, or Reinforced III).

HOW TO BEAT IT
  • Deal with its team first: the Linebacker and the Pole Vaulter rush you while it slams.
  • Keep moving sideways: the sweep covers a huge arc in front of it, not behind, and the chains only catch what stands right between its two fists.
  • Save your explosives (Boom Launcher, Virus Bombs, Explosive Virus Barrel) for it: they hit it twice as hard as your melee weapons.
