How To Pro Boom 101 - Git gud.
What do you mean? Is there a pro Boomer? How to get him?

The boomer is one of the very weak and very slow special infected, but its vomit causes players to distort the vision and cause all hordes to attack, even infected bots like hunter, jockey, charger and tank will attack the survivor vomited. Also its explosion makes like a grenade, that is to say, it can break doors and windows, to fly such objects as gasolines or loose items, to ignite the auto alarm and to frighten the witch. Even for the mode versus the pro players know how to use the "boomer rocket" method that consists of using the fantamas mode and jump from the ceiling just the moment you jump press left click right at the same time jumping without you interposing the spawn and thus throwing you towards the survivors.

So the boomer is not so useless if it knows how to send itself carefully to the survivors and become the support infected.

The boomer rocket isn't exactly useful, if you don't have the skills for that. Generally spawning in closed up spaces in front of the survivors will give you a better chance than in open spaces far behind the survivors.
Spawn closer at the last second before you attack.

Boomer is most important unit for a good attack. Blind as many as poss then rest of team pin the ones that can still see first. Makes for much longer response time :)

He is messing with you, anyway, the boomer lifespan is supposed to be less than a min, just spawn puke everybody and die..
If you try to puke and then hide, you are doing it wrong, if i remember right its 30~40s to recharge puke, when you actually can die and re-spawn in a little more than half that time..

The only SI you can flee and wait for recharge is the spitter, because it recharges faster than respawning in ghost mode.
Don't worry if you can't comprehend all those expert information gave you. Keep on playing and you will be fine with it eventually ;)

you can try to puke on survivors while they're busy with something or try and get in front of them so you will explode and blind the survivors.
Not as salty as everyone says...:)
