Truly a force to be feared. A Shambler has an immense amount of health, and takes only half damage from explosions. His pride and joy is his lightning attack, and for good reason: it never misses! Unless you can duck behind cover or retreat beyond the range of the attack, you'll be hit for considerable damage. However, the Shambler's weakness could be his proclivity to use his bare hands when he can. As long as you're within melee range, he will eschew his ranged attack for a good claw swipe or two. So if cover is not available or you're feeling particularly daring, you can run up and initiate his melee attack, then quickly step back to fire shots at him while he is swinging his arms through the air in which you stood a moment before. Then, run back forward before he begins another attack, or he will choose the lightning bolt. Repeat until one of you is dead.

Truly a force to be feared. Shamblers have an immense amount of health, and take only half damage from explosions. Shamblers may attack with either their powerful claws or a very accurate lightning attack. Due to the accuracy of the lightning, you will want to stay behind cover and taking pot shots to chip away at his health. If you find yourself without cover, stay close enough so he will prefer his claws, but do not step too far away from his strike or you will risk a lightning attack. [[Thunderbolt]] and the [[Super Nailgun]] are preferred weapons, though the [[Double-Barrelled Shotgun]] can work in a pinch.

Truly a force to be feared. A Shambler has an immense amount of health, and takes only half damage from explosions. His pride and joy is his lightning attack, and for good reason: it never misses! Unless you can duck behind cover or retreat beyond the range of the attack, you'll be hit for considerable damage. However, the Shambler's weakness could be his proclivity to use his bare hands when he can. As long as you're within melee range, he will eschew his ranged attack for a good claw swipe or two. So if cover is not available or you're feeling particularly daring, you can run up and initiate his melee attack, then quickly step back to fire shots at him while he is swinging his arms through the air in which you stood a moment before. Then, run back forward before he begins another attack, or he will choose the lightning bolt. Repeat until one of you is dead.

  • Best Weapons: Nailgun, Super Nailgun
  • Worst Weapons: Grenade Launcher, Rocket Launcher

"Even other monsters fear him, so expect a clobbering. He shrugs off explosions. Good luck."
