Boomer/doc

Slow and fragile, the Boomer is little more than a mere nuisance...at range. Do not let them get close.

If you are a melee fighter or do let it get close, kill it quickly to avoid the boomer's vomit attack (though the explosion may still get you), or wear solid eye protection such as ski goggles or a gas mask. Be careful when fighting them when other zombies, especially when the faster ones like zombie dogs or feral hunters are also present: its bile will reduce your vision range to one, allowing other zombies to surround and gang up on you without your knowledge. When "Boomered", fight defensively until the effect is over.
