Worst zombie type?

[jamie]

The worst type (In my opinion) is probably the Screamer, because really. WHY did they add a zombie that blows your ears out?

I'd like to know more about this zombie too. Why? What is the story here?

Ever look really close at the contraption on their heads? They have implements that hold their eyelids open. If anyone knows what is the story on the Screamers please reply

The worst Zombie type to me, is a simple walker with a thrown weapon. Those one shot kills really suck. I mean it's not like they're using orange con weapons with mods on em that are upgraded etc .......... why one shot kill?

Loved the Dead Island games though - a few things were clunky but I really enjoyed it over all.

i think the explosion ones are the annoying one.

Sciciders are absoluely useless though, just sprint past one and let it blow its buddies up.

(According to things I've read) The Screamer is a woman who was apparantly experimented on (Hence the exposed brain, yuck.) and the headwear that she wears is a torture-like thing used to force ones eyes open. I also feel like it screams because it represents the pain it was put in to.

Couldn't agree more about the Screamer. Her overall mechanics are beyond excruciating. From the audio to her zig zagging animation. I'd lob and waste several deo bombs just to avoid taking her head on. I don't mind her stun effect but she does way too much damage.

I usually just kick exploders then sprint away. Sometimes it backfires but usually there's no problem with them. They're slow. The AI of all zombies in Riptide felt a lot different than in DI 1. They were a less predictable and would grapple more often. I'm gonna check out the Ryder White dlc today

Seeing as I've mained Sam B through both games - Walker 'throw' has never one-shot me, though it hurts like hell. They're still the weakest threat in the game and most walkers with weapons usually try to run-slice with it - Only throwing if you've aggro'd them but stay at ranged - Which is rare when you're a blunt weilding melee rapping mofo.

Screamers are a nuisance but any weapon mod with CC'ing elemental effects shut her down nicely. Not only did I set her ablaze and watch her dance the funky chicken countless times (without her ever getting a scream off) but I then sent her lifeless screaming corpse rocketing into orbit thanks to a nicely swung Heavy Duty Mod. If they do land a scream, though, it's annoying being helpless - And at one point her scream effect went off when I had interrupted her with melee, which put me in 'screamed' mode for about 10 seconds thanks to bugging out, which got me killed - But that was a once off.

My vote goes to Wrestlers. They're easy to kill, don't get me wrong, but if you've not updated your weapons to keep your DPS up to par then they can be an annoying time-sink.

Second place goes to any frenzied infected bosses. They can be abused at close range but throw in a swarm and those guys become a major anal pain.

yeah those frenzieds can be tough to defend if you're dealing with a crowd

I just cued up Ryder White. That game is frickin 10x harder than either of the main games. There was one section in the sewers where it just seemed flat out unfair! lol

I eventually was able to get though to a point where I blew up a red tank down there and it started a fire which blocked my path and I couldn't get through at that point. Not sure if there is an alternate route I logged

Thing with Ryder White DLC is he doesn't level, there are no shops and no real grinding to be done - Which essentially means he can (or more accurately 'should') only fight when he has to.

I know the sewer part you mean and I did die there once or twice, myself - Because I'm stubborn and too used to wading into fights like a mofo on Sam B - Not the squishy human Ryder. Once you learn to just ignore and run, it's all a lot simpler (though a bit disappointing).
