Explosive hunter zombies are unique kind of Infected that explodes on impact when it's attacked with a Melee Weapons or Ranged Weapons. These special kinds of infected are first encountered in the mission "Call For Evac" after raiding the military armoury for supplies and C4. The Survivor will need to think quickly and get far away from them to prevent being caught in the ensuing explosion when attacked with neither the cricket bat or a gun. Explosive hunters have gas tanks on their backs and special breathing apparatus and gear on their body. A useful tactic to kill explosive hunter zombies is to use a flare and, whilst distracted, can kill them from a distance which will explode with a scream sound. Explosive hunters are useful in the arena while dealing with armoured zombies.
