Exploder Puppets: The Volatile Threat

Neutralize SCUM's Exploder Puppets: maintain distance, use headshots, and avoid melee to prevent their damaging explosions.

Exploder Puppets are a highly dangerous variant that explodes upon death or when they get too close to a player, dealing significant area-of-effect damage.

• Phases/Behavior: They move slowly but will relentlessly pursue you. Upon death or close proximity, they will detonate after a short fuse time.
• Weaknesses: Like Screamers, they have relatively low health. Any weapon can kill them.
• Strategy:
  • Maintain Distance: The most crucial strategy. Engage them from afar.
  • Headshots: Quickly dispatch them with headshots to control their detonation.
  • Environmental Hazards: Lure them near other puppets or objects you want to destroy, using their explosion to your advantage.
  • Avoid Melee: Never engage an exploder puppet in melee unless absolutely necessary and you can kill it instantly and retreat.
• Rewards: Eliminating them safely prevents significant damage to yourself and your gear.
