At close range, they use their monstrous claws. At a distance, they can launch an undodgable lightning bolt that you can't run away from. There are two main strategies to kill a Shambler. The easiest is to hide behind something when you see him about to cast a lightning bolt. The harder one, which you will have to use when you have no cover, is to run right up to it, so it tries to hit you with its claws, then back away and hit it while it is swinging its arms. Get close right away, or he'll use his lightning bolt. For weapons, you will want to use either the [[Super Nailgun]] or the [[Thunderbolt]]. If you have a [[Quad Damage]], you can use the [[Double-Barrelled Shotgun]] to gib the Shambler in three shots.
