Voltaic Screamers are encountered more infrequently than normal Screamers. They can be identified by their hospital gowns and missing lower jaws. Unlike a normal Screamer, the scream of a Voltaic Screamer creates a field of electricity, shocking everything caught within its scream. This is possibly the result of women undergoing electro shock therapy before they turned into Voltaic Screamers. The shock damage added to the slowing effect of the scream can cause massive damage to players. Furthermore, the electricity from the scream can arc between zombies and damage players even if they are outside of the scream's area of effect. Despite this, Voltaic Screamers can be killed in the same manner as normal Screamers.
Voltaic Screams can be interrupted by hitting a Voltaic Screamer with any projectile such as firearms or Curveballs as well as striking them with melee weapons or weapon throws. Ability Skills such as War Cry or Dash Strike can also be used to interrupt the scream. If the player is caught within the scream, they can use the Block skill to reduce the slowing effect. Additionally, the Dodge skill can be used to either quickly move towards a Screamer while slowed or to get outside of their scream area. Should a player get close enough to a Voltaic Screamer, they will swipe and attempt to grab them. Voltaic Screamers are vulnerable to blunt damage but are immune to Shock Damage. They are exposed while screaming and any attacks done to them during the scream will drain more stability.
