Hazmat Walkers, like Hazmat Runners and Caustic-X Walkers, are former hazmat personnel who have since transformed into zombies. While their hazmat gear makes them immune to CAUSTIC damage, they are still vulnerable to shock and fire damage and their limbs can be maimed. Hazmat Walkers behave in the same manner as normal walkers in that they are slow and will attempt to grab the player if they get too close. Like other Walker variants, Hazmat walkers can be turned into Crawlers if their legs are maimed. They can also be distracted with Meat Bait.
Appearance[]
There are three variants of the Hazmat Walker:
The first and most common variant is a zombified CDC researcher wearing a white CDC-issue Level C hazmat suit, and gray rubber boots. Sometimes, they also wear safety goggles, rubber gloves and face masks.
The second and less common variant is a zombified US Army soldier wearing an Army-issue UCP camouflage Level C hazmat suit, teal rubber boots and gloves, and a white face mask.
The third variant is an infected pest control employee working for Beez-B-Gone wearing a light gray Level C hazmat suit with the company logo on the front and back, a black baseball cap underneath the suit's hood, yellow rubber boots and gloves, a white respirator, safety glasses and a red lanyard with a staff pass. This variant is only encountered at SoLA.
