Effects

In the event that this combo is executed, it will increase the severity of the disease globally by about 2 points.[1]

Trivia

  • This combo is based off an eponymous infected enemy in Valve's Left 4 Dead franchise, though with significantly increased offense. Valve's Boomers are considerably less destructive, and rely on attracting other infected, rather than pure demolition power.
